The Final Shots
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009
Wow, what a busy week.
We finished the last of the principal photography for Light earlier this week at a really nice locally-owned pizza parlor I Rigazzi Pizza on Hancock Bridge. Christian and Danny were excellent as usual. UFTA President Al Quinn was perfect as the grumpy, Italian Pizza Parlor owner – some fine acting there. And we had the opportunity to bring Christian and Danny’s real life mothers, Angie and Susan into the background, along with our good friend, Deborah Ford, who was nice enough to let us borrow her camera for the shots below. (with a couple of extra shots from Sue’s phone) And they even let us eat the pizza!
Now we shift gears into promotion and post-production. We will be putting the final touches on Marty’s favorite, the one character not yet seen on film, then some second unit work and editing, editing, editing. Marty’s already working on ideas for the sequel. We’ll keep everyone updated on the progress of promoting the film as things happen.
Meanwhile, we’re putting the finishing touches on our project for Cape Movie Magic. Stop by this free concert with local high schools and the Gulf Coast Symphony, playing for the first time in Cape Coral, February 28th, from 11am on at Cultural Park, near City Hall. Stop by, listen to the music and get your picture taken with one of our movie impersonators:
- Indiana Jones
- Queen Amidala
- Captain Jack Sparrow
- Eragon
- Willy Wonka
- Star Wars Stormtrooper
- Galadriel, from Lord of the Rings
We’ve also heard rumors that some of the fine men of the Fighting 501st will be joining us for the event.
And we have a second date set for our Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre at the Santa Barbara Clubhouse. Mark your calendars for March 21, when we perform “Clubhouse Murders.” More details to come.
In the meantime, enjoy the photos of our fun at I Rigazzi.
Gulf Coast Symphony to perform free concert in Cape
Monday, February 9th, 2009
POSTED: February 2, 2009
The SWFL Business Alliance has announced that the Gulf Coast Symphony will play a free concert in Cape Coral for the first time as a cultural and entertainment experience during tough economic times.
Organized by the SWFL Business Alliance and Terrasi Media, this outdoor event, called “Cape Movie Magic,” will take place on Saturday, Feb. 28, at Cultural Park located at 528 Cultural Park Blvd., with activities starting at 11 a.m.
Presenting unique cultural events that provide some financial relief during the continued economic downturn is more important than ever while also providing an entertainment outlet for Cape Coral and neighboring residents, according to event organizer J.P. Terrasi, marketing director for the SWFL Business Alliance and president of Terrasi Media.
“We started talking with Andrew Kurtz, the Gulf Coast Symphony director, about 10 months ago with the possibility of the musicians coming to perform at the Cape,” Terrasi said. “I knew we (the B.A.), could make it happen because of how involved our members are in the community and with our connections.”
The event will start at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28, at which time the symphony will have a two-hour rehearsal, open to the public. The event will continue with three Cape Coral area high school jazz or pops bands that will each play a short performance. At 5 p.m., the Gulf Coast Symphony will come back on stage to play the actual concert.
Terrasi explains the music chosen are movie themes from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” ‘Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” “Chronicles of Narnia” and even one for the parents with “Schindler’s List.”
“This live concert has developed into a premier event with a lot of great things going on. We are actually taking steps toward branding ‘Cape Movie Magic’ as an annual event for the city of Cape Coral,” Terrasi said.
Aside from the music, there will be retail vendors, food vendors, drawings and even movie-themed dressed characters, brought in by Starlight Productions, which will be walking around and available for pictures.
“There will be another huge surprise at the event that we are not promoting. I guess you’ll just have to attend to see what that is,” Terrasi adds. “The event would not be possible without the support of the sponsors and City staff. The City of Cape Coral and the Parks and Recreation Department, particularly Todd King, has been absolutely incredible, including donating the use of the city’s stage.”

Starlight Stars on Stage
Saturday, January 10th, 2009We’re still hard at work shooting and editing Light, but we’re also keeping busy on the stages of Southwest Florida.
Sean Genther, who plays Lucas’ father Blake in Light, is currently appearing on stage at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in downtown Fort Myers (the old Post Office/Federal Building on First Street) in a modern retelling of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, and does a fantastic job playing both Ross and Caithness.

Meanwhile, Starlight Productions is doing their part to bring more culture into Cape Coral. On January 24th, Paul Rose, Teresa Cobb & Marty Wisher will join John Nicolette, Kaylee Ann Wisher and Light star Keegan Shayne in presenting the hilarious murder mystery, “A Death in the Family,” written by Marty Wisher at the Santa Barbara Clubhouse Sports Grill & Bar in an effort to bring dinner theatre to the city. Tickets are only $50.00 per person for dinner and the show, and can be purchased from the Clubhouse, 2114 Santa Barbara Blvd, near Cape Coral High School, 239-574-7050. Their website is www.clubhousesportsgrill.com.
And coming up in February, Starlight is one of the main sponsors for the First Annual Cape Movie Magic, presented by the Gulf Coast Symphony & the Southwest Florida Business Alliance – the first time the symphony has played in the Cape. The free concert featuring music from Lord of the Rings, Schindler’s List, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones & Pirates of the Caribbean, will be held at the Cultural Park complex, on Cultural Park Boulevard, near City Hall will start at 5pm. However, the events start at 11am, with Food, Family Fun, Games, and Characters from the movies, courtesy of Starlight Productions. For a small fee, you can get your picture taken with Indiana Jones, a Stormtrooper, Elfin Queen Galadriel, and Captain Jack Sparrow, among many others.
