00:05.920 --> 00:13.679
I'm Gen LaGreca and I'm the executive

00:10.080 --> 00:17.279
producer and writer of our new sci-fi

00:13.679 --> 00:20.480
called "Fugitive from Asteron" and I'm

00:17.279 --> 00:24.160
absolutely thrilled to be here at Cannes.

00:20.480 --> 00:26.720
We had our market premier screening and

00:24.160 --> 00:30.800
our sales agents, House of Film, are

00:26.720 --> 00:35.680
proudly displaying our film. It stars

00:30.800 --> 00:39.360
Henry Ian Cusick, Dean Kaine, Rory Gibson,

00:35.680 --> 00:43.600
and Morgan Bradley. It's a marvelous

00:39.360 --> 00:47.360
sci-fi epic spectacle and adventure

00:43.600 --> 00:52.320
spanning two planets with also a lot of

00:47.360 --> 00:56.320
heart, a lot of uh romance,

00:52.320 --> 00:58.399
relationship building, personal story

00:56.320 --> 01:02.320
involved too, along with the

00:58.399 --> 01:04.879
sciencedriven sci-fi plot. So, we're

01:02.320 --> 01:07.600
hoping to find some distributors here

01:04.879 --> 01:11.840
that would love to take.

01:07.600 --> 01:13.360
Cinema has a incredible effect on

01:11.840 --> 01:17.439
humanity.

01:13.360 --> 01:21.600
We reach into every household and

01:17.439 --> 01:24.720
it's a very important medium and my

01:21.600 --> 01:27.200
company, the Wing Victory Foundation, my

01:24.720 --> 01:30.479
film production and literary arts

01:27.200 --> 01:35.280
company is advancing the ideas of

01:30.479 --> 01:39.520
liberty through the magic of film and

01:35.280 --> 01:43.280
plays and novels. And we hope to spread

01:39.520 --> 01:45.040
the classical ideas of liberty in a

01:43.280 --> 01:48.159
way that's

01:45.040 --> 01:51.200
subtle and incorporated into the

01:48.159 --> 01:55.280
messages of our films. Our films have

01:51.200 --> 01:58.079
very strong plots and they're very

01:55.280 --> 01:59.600
character developed as well with

01:58.079 --> 02:03.040
thematic

01:59.600 --> 02:05.360
messages about liberty and being

02:03.040 --> 02:08.080
master of your own life and being the

02:05.360 --> 02:11.120
best you can be and breaking away from

02:08.080 --> 02:14.560
authoritarian control of your life.

02:11.120 --> 02:18.400
That's our ongoing theme at the Wing

02:14.560 --> 02:19.920
Victory Foundation and we're at the

02:18.400 --> 02:23.040
forefront

02:19.920 --> 02:25.760
a new era in film making.

02:23.040 --> 02:28.959
I think there's a tremendous role for

02:25.760 --> 02:33.440
independent films to play in the film

02:28.959 --> 02:38.000
industry. We're uninhibited,

02:33.440 --> 02:41.599
unbburdened by rules and by what major

02:38.000 --> 02:44.160
studios might require. Each

02:41.599 --> 02:49.400
independent filmmaker

02:44.160 --> 02:49.400
can decide for himself or herself.

02:49.920 --> 02:56.959
on a a script that might be passed

02:54.239 --> 02:59.920
by the major studios but which one

02:56.959 --> 03:01.680
independent filmmaker might feel very

02:59.920 --> 03:04.800
passionate about. There's a lot of

03:01.680 --> 03:06.720
passion in independent film making

03:04.800 --> 03:09.760
because you have to go through so much

03:06.720 --> 03:12.879
struggle to put the money together. I

03:09.760 --> 03:15.680
think with the new technology, it levels

03:12.879 --> 03:19.440
the playing field a lot for indie films

03:15.680 --> 03:23.599
to compete with high production values

03:19.440 --> 03:28.120
with more expensive films that are

03:23.599 --> 03:28.120
being put out by the major studios.
