My guest today is filmmaker Phil Allocco, a feature film and commercial writer/director. His work has garnered over 60 awards and nominations.
He was one of the short-listed directors picked by Steven Spielberg from a world-wide search of over 12,000 directors for his US TV series ‘On the Lot’ for FOX TV.
His feature film ‘The Truth About Lies,’ won 14 awards at festivals including "The Best Of Fest" at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.
His new feature film, 5lbs of Pressure is a gripping action-thriller, Adam played by Luke Evans, is an ex-con back in his old neighborhood after serving a 16-year stretch for murder, walks a rocky path of forgiveness toward the son who grew up without him, while the bitter, volatile brother of the youth he killed looms in the background.
Meanwhile, Mike played by Rory Culkin, sick of doing the bidding of his drug-dealing uncle played by Alex Pettyfer, is desperate to leave his sordid life behind. When Adam and Mike’s paths converge, inescapable destiny will give way to violence…and a final, fleeting shot at redemption. #filmmaker #filmmaking #cinematography #cinema #filmdirector #screenwriting #film #actinglessons #actorslife #movieplot #moviebreakdown #lionsgate #featurefilm #lukeevans #roryculkin #moviedrama #suspensethrillers #storytelling
