Every 58 HoursBy Rachel Galvin(Pictured: Top: Cheryl Frazier & Jamal Malik; Middle: Flor Arriaga, Gaetano Fasulo, Alexandra Bello & Gabriel Kipling Tyner; Bottom: Jamal Malik).

Since last summer, director Alexandra Bello and producer Joseph P. Johnson have been working on a documentary pilot called ?Every 58 Hours? in South Florida. It puts a spotlight on law enforcement off icers kil led in the line of duty ? one every 58 hours somewhere in the United States.This pilot will include reenactments and interviews, including an interview with Johnson, who knows only too well about the subject matter. Being a retired New York police off icer, he has seen far too many fallen off icers, including Tommy Ruotolo, one of the off icers whose death is reenacted in the pilot. Johnson worked in the South Bronx with Ruotolo and says his ?end of watch? will stay with him for the rest of his l ife.The shootout that ended Ruotolo's l ife was reenacted in Coral Springs, FL at the end of January. The gas station looked similar to the real one and they util ized a police car and wardrobe from the 80s to f it the time period. Jamil Malik, who played Ruotolo, even had a moustache application to f it the character. The resulting scene was so realistic that Johnson found it too emotional to see.?At the time it came to shoot the kil l scene, I had to walk away,? he said.He added, ?Tommy was hired in January 1981 six months before me. When I was assigned to the 41, he had already been there. He was a very nice guy, very dry humor and very intell igent. We rode together on a number of occasions, but were not actual partners. He was a week away from being transferred off the mean streets of the South Bronx when he was murdered.?The gunshots during the reenactment attracted locals who called 911. It also brought out news media to cover the f ilming.

But the director predicts there will be a total of 12 days of shooting. They intend to send it to f ilm festivals and seek out network interest once it is complete.

The timing of the pilot could not be more crucial with stories in the news of police off icers being harassed and shot in New York and elsewhere after stories of alleged police brutality.?We, the police, have never been more vil l ianized by the public and the press, including elected polit icians. Eveybody goes wild when a celebrity dies from self indulgence and the outpouring of sympathy is unbelievable, but when a police off icer is murdered or dies while doing his job, the outpouring of anti-cop sentiment is unbelievable,? said Johnson, who added, ?the show is meant to enlighten and educate the public, and change the perception that we are nothing but racist murderers who go out with intention of murdering people. We are fathers, mothers,

sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and are humans with feelings. We get hurt; we bleed and we die, leaving a rif t in our families and in society as a whole.?Bello said, ?I hope that, after being exposed to this information, people change their perspective about law enforcement off icers in general and share it with their friends.?She added that it took three months to f ind the right cast for the pilot and has been lucky to f ind some great locations. The most challenging part was funding."The most challenging part has been getting people to donate. We calculated that if half of our Facebook friends would be kind enough to donate $5 dollars, we would raise the necessary amount to make this happen; but people have been very indif ferent to our efforts. However, we have found other people that are not exactly friends, who, perhaps are close to the topic and have donated much more than $5 dollars. Joseph P. Johnson has done a magnif icent job following up with New York retired cops, old co-workers, old friends and other people to f ind the funding we have gathered so far.?When asked how f ilming this was dif ferent from other f ilms she has made, she said, ?This was just as scripted as other f ilms. We scripted the questions and shot l ist for each interview. We also scripted the blocking and dialogue for the reenactments, as well as the shot l ist, and we are in the process of writ ing the script for the narrator to record.?Johnson wanted to make sure that Gaetano Fasulo was brought in as director of photography on the project after seeing his award-winning f ilm ?Bonk.? Gabriel Kipling Tyner was brought on as Assistant Director and Flor Arriaga did camera work as well.To find out more about the project and the rest of the cast, find them on Facebook under Every 58 Hours.

Letter from the Publisher

So, it is March. Is it t ime for you to march to a dif ferent drummer? If you feel l ike you are not accomplishing your goals and consistently hitt ing a wall, perhaps it is t ime to

try a dif ferent approach. There is more than one way to skin a cat, they say. Maybe it is t ime to take a break and reevaluate. Now might be the right t ime to expand your networking circle. Perhaps a new look is what the doctor ordered -- a new haircut, mani/pedi, new wardrobe. This could be the perfect t ime to reinvent yourself . You can be anything you want to be. Life is a blank slate. Every day you decide what to write. So make tomorrow your next masterpiece.

Break a leg!

Chazz Pal mint er iTalk s " A Bronx Tale" & moreBy Rachel Galvin

Actor/ playwright Chazz Palminteri knows what it is to work independently. He has been touring his one-man show since 2007. He was just in South Florida on Feb. 26 performing ?A Bronx Tale? and he will be back to sunny South Florida on March 7 at

8 p.m. at the Coral Springs Center For the Arts (2855 Coral Springs Dr., Coral Springs, FL) to perform it again. These are just a few stops on his tour. You may have seen the 1993 ?A Bronx Tale? movie, directed by Robert De Niro, tell ing a tale of a father who becomes worried when a local gangster, Sonny, befriends his son Cologero in the Bronx in the 1960s. Palminteri, born Cologero, who plays Sonny in the movie, plays all 18 characters in his play without props or a costume change.Palminteri wanted to be an actor since he was 10 or 11 years old. He started studying drama, with Lee Strasberg and the Actor's Studio. He went on to make over 50 f ilms, including ?Bullets Over Broadway,? ?The Usual Suspects? and ?A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints,? which he lists as some of his favorites, among others. But, since 2007, he has also

been touring with his show. He started performing off-Broadway while he was a singer in his own band. Later, he went out to Los Angeles and his show became a hot commodity. He was offered $1 mill ion to sell it, but, even though he only had $200 in his pocket, he refused. He knew he had to write the screenplay and be in it. ?A lot of people talk about success,? he said. ?You just have to do it.?Asked how he felt about giving an element of control over to De Niro, he said, ?I knew it was in good hands.?He said when it comes to directors, he prefers ?a director who allows actors to try things and collaborate in a role.?His advice for actors: ?Get used to hearing the word 'no.' If you can't handle getting rejected ... it can wear you out.?As for auditioning, he suggests relaxing, knowing your lines and listening to the other actor.?[When getting into character], I l ike to learn my lines, feel comfortable off script. I work from inside out. I f igure out who the person is in this role. Then, I start dressing like him, looking like him,? he said.He added about 'A Bronx Tale,' ?My show is a great show. In Broadway, there was a line of people waiting to see it again. The characters are all archetypes. Alfred Hitchcock once said, '... a movie can make you laugh, make you cry, scare you ? if you do two out of three, you are doing really good. [With the show], I do all three. If you loved the movie, you will love the show even more.?Asked what he hopes people will walk away with after seeing the show, he said, ?I hope they go home and hug their kids [and learn] don't waste your life. Seize the day. My father said the saddest thing in life is wasted talent.?He added, ?A lot of t imes, [the media] talks about the mafia. This is not about the mafia. This is about the butcher, the baker, about the working man, people like my dad, who was a bus driver, the fabric of the Italian American community.?Besides staying busy acting, Palminteri also teaches and has his own online radio show.

Seen on the SoapsDanny DasentSouth Florida local turned LA resident Danny Dasent has received quite a lot of attention lately after his appearance on "General Hospital." He was able to catch himself a recurring role on the soap courtesy of Mark Teschner Casting. On set, he calls his character Howard Bill ings, but on the call sheet, he says, it is just Orderly # 1. And this was not just a featured role. He actually had lines in his second appearance on Feb. 27; but, he is unsure what the future holds for Mr. Bill ings the Orderly."It is up to the network to use

me if they go back to Shadybrook Instution, where my character works," he said.While stil l in South Florida, Dasent worked on many TV shows and movies, including two TV shows stil l in production -- "Concrete Dove" and "Sam Savage P.I." In LA, he is pursuing his dreams working on set as much as possible. He said, "Right now, I am working on a teaser for a feature called 'Rogue Ops' about male and female assassins trying to kil l each other, f ilmed Part one and Part two ... lots of running and gunning with f ight scenes, etc. I just f inished 'Heart of Hate,' which is screening at the Chinese Theatre sometime in March. I played the leader of a very bad Neo-Nazi group. I had to workout hard and trim down for that role. I am also working on a short called 'Father, Friend, Foe.' I can't release any details just yet.""As for the soaps, it was great to be on the ABC set," he continued."The actors are really nice

people. They had lots of dialogue to memorize and usually get two to three days to prepare. "
