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)

Iris Apfel
Before yesterday, I met with Orren. He asked me about the possibility of going to New York to interview his dear friend Iris Apfel who is a fashion Icon. It would mean changes in schedule for BETWEEN LIFETIMES/EL RIO ENTRE VIDAS, since this is sort of an emergency. Iris hurt herself, and everyone wants a piece of her from filmmakers to photographers to magazines etc. We want to be with the person. She is 92 and has had a wonderful life full of experiences in the fashion/decor world. Decorating the White House through nine administrations since Harry Truman is just one of the things she accomplished.
