Behind The Scenes
The Making of "A Tip Of The Hat"
A powerful and emotionally driven boxing drama centered on 19-year-old fighter Francesco “Frankie” D’Salvatore as he faces the biggest fight of his life — both inside and outside the ring. Under pressure from a corrupt boxing promoter tied to organized crime, Frankie is ordered to throw a high-profile match to protect his family and secure his future in the sport. As memories of his late grandfather Lorenzo — a proud mentor who taught him honor, courage, and the meaning of being a D’Salvatore — resurface throughout the night, Frankie is forced to confront the kind of man he wants to become. Blending themes of integrity, legacy, loyalty, and personal identity, the screenplay builds toward a defining moment where Frankie chooses self-respect and freedom over fear and control. Shot over the weekend dates of 2/5/2022 - 2/12/2022

Beyond Bars
A deeply emotional and thought-provoking drama that follows death row inmate Charles McElroy as he confronts guilt, faith, identity, and the meaning of redemption during the final days before his scheduled execution. Isolated in a prison cell and struggling with regret, loneliness, and the belief that he has been wrongly convicted, McElroy’s life changes when he is given an advanced AI companion named Sophia, who guides him through painful memories, spiritual reflection, and the story of his troubled past. Through their conversations, the film explores themes of addiction, forgiveness, salvation, human connection, and the search for hope beyond suffering. Blending psychological drama, spiritual awakening, and science fiction elements, “Beyond Bars” challenges audiences to consider what truly defines freedom, grace, and humanity beyond the walls that imprison us.
