My name is George Anton, film Director and Producer. Unless you are a hardcore fan please skip this introduction to the movie.
My own daughter acted in this film and it is dedicated to her a printed statement that no matter what happens in life you should never give up.
The movies that your dad made when nobody believed in me, ended up making a lot of money. Because I actually did it.
For all the filmmakers out there dreaming of making a movie, please get off your ass, take a fresh shower and just make it.
When everyone tells you are crazy, just go ahead and buy some Bitcoin anyway, against all odds.
I personally hold ATARI TOKEN using Coinbase Wallet. This is not a financial advice but this movie is all about dreams and finances.
A dream that seems to be impossible today is due for a change tomorrow.
You are now so excited to be alive, to test your human limits, get out of coma and use this insane world to get unwrapped from banality.
We are now in the past at the end of the year 2008 when Obama is guiding us towards another financial crash.
The mortgage payments for my West Hollywood apartment are outrageous and I’m tied up in this scam loan from the bank, that’s why it is written in the movie.
My daughter Lana Anton, she is almost two years old and my wife, she is about to loose her job as mortgage underwriter, appraising and approving these junk loans like there is no tomorrow.
Everyone arround is wondering: “Is the Housing market a bubble, or not?”
Of course is a God damn bubble so we decided already to sell the condo to the next fool.
I’m about to lose the house that I live in and I’m working 24/7 accepting all the SAG paid background acting jobs I can get my hands on.
In the spare time, I pick up actors from Central Casting in Burbank charging them for headshots so I can pay for Anton Pictures Studios because that rent is due as well and the DVD sales for all the movies I’ve done by now are not adding up the costs. I guess that’s why the main character in American Style is a headshots photographer and a degenerate gambler.
So I decided the best thing is to get up and go outside for some location scouting within half mile of the North Hollywood Anton Pictures film production offices. I will write all the locations in the script, then create the characters to match it and eventually the dialogue.
The plan worked and I sat there at the keyboard crying this 90 pages screenplay in between holding auditions for it with actors from LACasting.com.
I was pissed that my phone was not ringing and no Hollywood Executive was calling me like: “Hey, George Anton. We’ve seen all your movies. You are amazing. Please come on over to 20th Century Fox and Paramount lot, we have a contract ready for you. We’re going to take you in.”
I was thinking about all the people wanting me to fail in this business so I was like was like fuck them, I’m not going to let them win so I had all this intoxicating energy getting me going.
I have a business, ambition and goals and I’m going to gather all the resources I can find and use them in this play, including all the location grounds from my West Hollywood condominium, just before I sell it, including the swimming pool they make me pay for, and the jacuzzi.
I’m going to take a step back and embrace Obama’s financial change into a positive evolution that will give me the power to return to my own core.
If right now, in the year 2022 or the future, if you are going through hard times like I was at the time I was making this movie, embrace the change and the new ideas to rationally establish your own identity.
