LOCAL COLOR Advanced Screening, Scottsdale, AZ - October, 2007
Written and directed by George Gallo
Starring Armin Meuller-Stahl, Trevor Morgan and Samantha Mathis
A successful artist looks back with loving memories on the summer of his defining year, 1974. A talented, but troubled eighteen year old art student befriends an elderly alcoholic genius
painter who has turned his back on not only art, but life. The two form, what appears to be at first a tenuous relationship. The kid wants to learn all the secrets the master has locked away inside his head and heart. Time has not been kind to the old master. His life appears pointless to him until the kid rekindles his
interest in his work and ultimately gives him the will to live. Together, they give one another a priceless gift. The kid learns to see the world through the master's eyes. And the master learns to see life through the eyes of innocence again. This story is based on a real life experience.
ROG'S VIEWPOINT - LOCAL COLOR deserves a national release close to awards time. George Gallo is a true artist. Each scene is like a painting come to life. The cast is perfect. Armin Mueller-Stahl adds another brilliant performance to his distinguished career. The slow, relaxed pacing worked in the
movie's favor and I never got bored. With stunning cinematography, LOCAL COLOR is a breathtaking and moving cinematic experience.

SWEET LAND Press Junket, Phoenix, AZ - October 25, 2006
Written and directed by Ali Salim
Starring Tim Guinee as Olaf Torvik and Elizabeth Reaser as Inge Torvik
Based on Will Weaver’s short story A Gravestone Made of Wheat and shot on location in Southern Minnesota, Sweet Land is that rare independent feature that uses painterly images and
understated performances to tell a universal story of love and discovery. David Tumblety’s glorious magic-hour cinematography recalls classic American art cinema like Days of Heaven, transforming the amber majesty of Southern Minnesota’s farm country into an elegiac metaphor for memory, family, and history.
SWEET LAND is a poignant and lyrical celebration of land, love, and the American immigrant experience. When Lars Torvik’s grandmother Inge dies in 2004, he is faced with a decision – sell the family farm on which she lived since 1920, or cling to the legacy of the land. Seeking advice, he turns to the
memory of Inge and the stories that she had passed on to him.
Featuring supporting performances by veteran performers Ned Beatty, Paul Sand, and Lois Smith, SWEET LAND is the story of immigrant America, made by the son of first-generation immigrants themselves.
