NEW YORK, NY; POINT ROBERTS, Washington
- March 2, 2016 - Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering
leading topics and sectors including sports and entertainment, releases an
exclusive Q&A with entrepreneurial
movie producer and businessman Chad A. Verdi of Rhode Island.
Mr. Verdi discusses his latest Sam Spiegel producer award, Martin Scorsese and his upcoming films.
Interview:
Q: Investorideas
Chad you were recently awarded the Sam Spiegel producer award.
Can you tell us about the presenting event and the significance of the Sam
Spiegel award that you received?
A: Chad A. Verdi
It's pretty cool that the Flickers’ Rhode Island
International Film Festival (RIIFF) is ranked as one of the Top 10
Festivals in the United States. RIIFF
is a qualifying festival for both the Short Narrative and Documentary Short
Film Academy Awards through its affiliation with the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts & Sciences and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts
(BAFTA). There are only 6 film festivals
worldwide that share this distinction and RIIFF is the only festival in New
England. Just being mentioned is the same sentence with the
great Sam Spiegel is a huge honor. Winning the Producer of the
Year Award from Flickers is one of the highlights of my career in
film. I also want to
thank Steven Feinberg
for all his support over the years.
Q: Investorideas
Chad, what are your thoughts on seeing
the surprise congratulatory videos from Martin Scorsese,
Emma Tillinger Koskoff and
Pamela Thur at
the Oscar-night awards ceremony?
A: Chad A. Verdi:
It was a great surprise and a HUGE honor to have Marty, Emma and
Pam send their best wishes to me on awards night. Words can't express
my gratitude.
Q: Investorideas
Any update on the timing of the release
dates for Bleed for This, the upcoming American biographical drama based on the
life of former World Champion Boxer Vinny Pazienza and Silence? (Silence -from director Martin Scorsese,
starring Liam Neeson and Andrew Garfield , set in the seventeenth century, two
Jesuit priests face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to
locate their mentor and to spread the gospel of Christianity). Is it still looking like around the fourth
quarter for both films?
A: Chad A. Verdi
Yes, at this time I would say the fourth
quarter of 2016 would be correct, but as everyone knows in this business,
things can change in a split second.
Q: Investorideas
Anything new going on in Verdi
Production these days?
A: Chad A. Verdi
Yes a lot! We are looking at acquiring several
films at Cannes and Toronto this year. We also want to
release our film ‘Yellow’ later this fall. The big news for Verdi Productions
involves a psychological thriller film that we have in development that’s
slated for a 2017 start date. Tom DeNucci is the director and co-writer of the
film. Some of the names we’re thinking of include Johnny Depp and
Scarlett Johansson. It’s a very exciting time for all of us.
Investorideas:
OK, thanks for taking time out of your
busy schedule for us Chad.
