Welcome to our story

I started writing BETWEEN LIFETIMES in 2006. My son Lucas would sleep behind me as I typed away. I based the child's character on Lucas. My intention was to complete the script quickly, so I could cast Lucas as that child. As the script grew, so did Lucas.

Flash forward. It's 2012. Lucas is at least half a foot taller than me. The story came into its own after more than a few re-writes, and now I find myself on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs in an attempt to bring BEWTWEEN LIFETIMES to the big screen.

Carrie Clark , Lauri Hakola, and I (Antonio Weiss) are preparing to go film in Paraguay south America, in the next few months. BETWEEN LIFETIMES has become EL RIO DE LAS VIDAS, as it was translated in Spanish to adapt it to the culture and languages of Paraguay (Spanish and Guarani)

What a week!! Paraguay is coming together slower than I expected. In the meantime, Marie and Alisa (Davis) found this restaurant for sale in downtown Santa Fe. It is hard to resist the lure of getting one's own restaurant and turn it around. However, ... easy,and easy with Paraguay as well. Location and casting logistics will take their own time. To start right away could mean throwing money down the drain.  


So, next in schedule is a preliminary trip to Paraguay for those two things: locations and casting. This will be around March or April. I am sure all sorts of logistics will pop out of their box once I am there, like wardrobe/costumes, catering, etc. So one must breathe and count to ten grasshopper. All in it's good time -restaurant included if fate should dictate so.


In the meantime, I had fun with Lucas before yesterday. He played a song in his guitar, which he received as a present from Mary (Kiedis) and decided to learn it two weeks ago. Lucas already plays the piano

I just finished a short on Edgar Mitchell for our Documentary on INVISIBLE HEROES. Dr. Mitchell is one of the 12 human beings who was lucky enough to walk on the moon. What a special human being!!

And last but not least, since I speak about the moon, I have been up since 4:30am watching the full moon eclipse as it slowly hid itself on it's back, partially covered by the earth's shadow, right behind the hill in "my backyard." How lucky can one be?
The partially covered moon went down right behind that hill, as the sun was rising.
Now, back to wardrobe detail:
