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)

Today, we are searching for actors who can speak Spanish or Spanish speaking actors who speak English for the part of Jude. We found a few names and one surprise to me. 
One of Jude's lives
Yes there is a bit of German too, and Hebrew, and Arabic.

The quiet evenings in Montauk are such a contrast to the bustle of New York. It is evocative to step again in the ocean after having left Sayulita, Mexico in 2010, thousands of miles away, so far apart that as the season winds up here, it is about to start in Sayulita and Vallarta, at least 3000 miles fom Long Island. I was looking for locations in Sayulita for BETWEEN LIFETIMES, before I decided to film it in Paraguay. The two deciding factors were that I know people in Paraguay, and the escalating violence in Mexico.

The sunrise in Montauk is... no need to explain. We were here on a private party to make the lighthouse part of the national monument registry. There were senators, socialites, and Montauk residents. Bill Clinton was mentioned, but he never appeared. The real treat was the lighthouse and the vastness beyond.

How can one explain a crazy afternoon? A very synergistic mayhem on 57th and 5th with Orren and Robert, right in front of Louis Vuitton and some happy fans. What a fantastic job by Yayoi Kusama!! The sparks of New York light up every inch of space... should anyone doubt which one is the best city in the world...

Today, the experience at the Javits Center was just perfect. Orren and Robert were there with Alexis Bittar, the jewelry boy wonder from Brooklyn. Even Iris Apfel, the design and fashion maven came. Iris might just outlive all of us.People stopped for autographs. It was a little party within a party.
One happy get-together full of jewels...no pun intended

The first leg of the trip to Paraguay started -Santa Fe to New York. Nothing lke a needed road trip to see the country and to feel the distance between the Southwest and the Northeast.
