BTW still

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)

In Mexico, I was still able to find beautiful locations for the ending of BETWEEN LIFETIMES. One after another, places of a sensuous nature showed themselves, beckoning me to stay, to come back, to not forget…

We visited deserted beaches, jungles exploding with colors and palm trees, we climbed on cliffs by the Pacific ocean. Philippine loved it so much she bought a piece of Land in Sayulita. We visited Patzcuaro and Janitzio for the Day of the Dead, spend a few nights in Morelia, an old city that reminds me of Madrid in places. We even lived in Puerto Vallarta for a month, six blocks from where Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor lived during the making of NIGHT OF THE IGUANA. It wasn’t all easy, but Mexico was wonderful.
