These places, indelibly etched in my mind seemed the perfect setting for parts of BETWEEN LIFETIMES; the more I saw, the more the script pulled me back to attention. I had put it aside for long enough and, even with its perfect location, Mexico was not the place to resurrect the film. It was time to cross back over the border again, back to Santa Fe, this time for good. It was time to get back to work.
Nothing just shapes easily from nothing into a finished entity, whatever it may be. BETWEEN LIFETIMES started out as a short script for a short film and has since evolved into a full feature length screenplay. This is its story.
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)
