Eighteen thirty two dot Org.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Coming to you from the City of Brotherly Love. It's
the scene with Dorene going behind the scenes with the
biggest stars and getting to know the person behind the personality.
I'm Shadow Stevens and no.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Here's your host, billboard.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Charting recording artist and raining queen on the scene, Dorene Taylor.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Thank you, thank you, thank you, of course, thank you
to Shadow Stevens. Our awesome, awesome narrator for the beginning
of our show each and every week is still have
to pinch me about that. And today on the show
we have a special spotlight show. We've got two incredible
spotlight artists coming up. We've got Steve Postel and the
wonderful Chero Depode. But before we get all that, I
(01:01):
want to welcome my incredible producer, Matt minaric Ii.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Matt, Hey, Dorian, how you doing good.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I finally did the right order of how I've wanted
to do this intro all along, and I just you know,
I've never done it right. It's always been like out
of order, out of sequence. It's never quite made sense.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
The first time it is it is.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And I said, just in time for me to take
a break.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Yeah, yeah, I'm glad though. I'm glad you're taking a break.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Though I haven't had a vacation, and I joke about
it now. I can't usually use this anymore because this
is like my little go to thing. I haven't had
a real vacation since before COVID.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Wow, that's a long time. Where are you going home?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So it's not really a vacation, all right.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
I'm going I'm going to vacation to Buffalo, New York.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Buffalo, New York's done that. Maybe Niagara Falls. Remember that
used to be the honeymoon capital of the world, Superman.
You know, the whole that was like really close, Like
they're literally like next to each other. It's very very close.
I'm not technically Buffalo. I'm the Buffalo area where I
grew up. I grew up more of in a farm
town called all in New York, and so I'm sort
(02:05):
of about thirty minutes outside Buffalo. But yeah, we're all
about the same.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah, I mean that's when you know people always you say, oh,
where are you from out in Philadelphia area? Yes, I
think people say, oh, you're from phil outside of whatever
I say it to you, whatever you think, I.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Live South Jersey. But when I'm away from this area,
I will say, oh, Philadelphia, because I'm gonna say South Jersey,
They're gonna be like.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, I grew up in Pottstown and nobody if you're
not from this area, you don't know. So I just say,
like outside of Philadelphia whatever.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, yeah, it's true. And sometimes you know, like when
I'm out and about, like you say South Jersey immediately
or New Jersey. They still think of that stupid reality show.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That Jersey Shore. Yeah, like the whole state is the Jersey.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Unfortunately, all the rest of the country think that we
were like snooky over in Jersey and it's so not
me because I guess maybe I wasn't born there.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
But yeah, it's a different Jersey. That's like more in
northern Jersey, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
It's a Jersey thing.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, there's two different New Jerseys.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
There's south Central.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Eagles New Jersey and Giants New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
And then you have all the scumbag cowboys fans like
mixed in somewhere.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
They're everywhere. They're like invading. They're like little parasites that
pop up all over the area. Yeah, you see them,
you get to see the star occasionally and people still
wear it. Do you remember back in the day. We
had somebody working on our crew a long time ago
that came in and didn't it was our first time
working with us, And what was he wearing.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
He was wearing a Cowboys had I thought you were
going to kill him with the logo upside down, like there,
I guess there.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Was a Well that's the only way you should wear it.
We should wear it. He might have had something on it,
you know, could have been a little tattoo. He really
liked Ellis, so you know, could have been. But I
was surprised because I was like I saw it walk
through the door, and I'm like, oh God, oh God,
don't let me see it. And I'm like, how are
you not going to see it? We're like two feet
apart from each other.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
If you want to be a Cowboys fan, I mean,
I mean, if I had to do some work in Dallas,
I share as hell would wear Eagle stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You kind of got to know your place of where
you are. Like if I'm going out of town and
I like I used to go to the garden to
watch the Sabers play, I'm not wearing Sabers colors. I'm not.
I'm not going to do it just because I wear
black usually and that way. No, I'm neutral. Nobody knows
what my affiliation except when I stand up and cheer.
But unfortunately Buffalo teams we don't cheer very often.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
So it's good.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Oh, this is the year, this is the air. Maybe
maybe maybe I said, if they acquired enough in the
off season to help Josh Allen, then yes, this is.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Lost a lot last year and did much better than
I thought, so who knows.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Got to cut that way sometimes sometimes those those players
are just bringing you down. You gotta gotta invest where
you need it. And I'm sounding like a sports person.
I can't do that.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
You're a fan, I know you.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I have a working knowledge of sports and I've been
growing up all my life. So it's it's nice. And
then when I go home, I have to refresh because
you know, in Buffalo it's all people talk about, even
in the off season, so I got to make sure
I get back into stats and everything like that.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah, I mean we're getting there.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
We're all in there.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And speaking of the Bills, I they're on hard knocks.
What do you mean in every year the NFL. They
follow around a team. Oh the show, the show.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's who they picked this year.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
This yeah, and actually I know this will air two
days after it happens, but today it is the first
episode on HBO.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Well there you go, shout out to the bills and
we can see the behind the scenes of the behind
the scene of the scene with Doreen. Oh my god,
that's what much. But yeah, I'm just so excited that
we're going to be on a little bit of vacation
for a couple of weeks. But we're gonna be playing
good repeats some of the best of us. I don't
know who yet, but we're gonna be playing some good shows.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Got to stay tuned to find out, you.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Do, because we never know around here. We like to
mix it up, that's right. And like today we're mixing
it up. Instead of having our main guest that we
normally have, we're going to be highlighting two equal opportunity
awesome people for the spotlight.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Spot two people in the spotlight.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So I've never done this before, so let's see how
this works. All right, let's go all.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Right, this is Radio.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Slight.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No long getting stuck out at all.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
This Bad All Weather, No Yeah, this Bad good with.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Oh Yes, this week's the Scene with Dorrin's Spotlight. Guest's
musical journey has taken him from music conservatory to Broadway shows,
to composing music for film, television and ballet, to rock
and roll tours and years as a studio musician, singer, songwriter,
guitarist and producer. Steve Postel has been a fixture in
(07:26):
the music scene for multiple decades and has performed and
collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry
like David Crosby, Glenn Phillips, Danny Korchmark, Kenny Loggin's justin
name a few. Steve just released his newest album, Walking
Through the Blues, a beautifully rich musical tapestry consisting of
twelve new songs. Working with some of the best musicians
(07:47):
in the world, Steve brings musicianship and integrity to the
craft of storytelling through song. So, without further ado, let's
shine today's spotlight on singer, songwriter, musician and producer extraordinaire
Steve Postel. Hay, Steve, Hey, there, hire good, How are
you doing good?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Just got back off tour and back to it.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I love it. I have been wanting to talk to
you for so long, and I'm so glad to finally connected.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Wise.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, so, first of all, congrats on the release of
your new album, Walking Through These Blues. Thank you for
creating honest, real music with real musicians while staying true
to your musical roots.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Well that's the idea for me anyway.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, so what inspired this new album? I mean, you've
been working consistently through the industry for so many years,
but what inspired this album? Right now?
Speaker 8 (08:39):
It's for me. It's more like a gathering of whatever
material I have, and at a certain point I usually
go I have ten or I have fourteen new songs,
it's time to make a record. So the music kind
of dictates me when it's time to start recording it.
Sometimes I have a label like now, sometimes I haven't.
(09:00):
But if I have that many songs that are I
feel worthy of being in a nice compilation, I'll get
together in my studio. Fortunately I have a studio as
you can see, yes beautiful, so I can record any
time I want. So the records happen when when I
have time in between other projects and when I have
(09:21):
enough songs.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Really awesome and I love the idea that you are
big about letting the song dictate just the arrangement or
dictate the musicians that are on it. You let the
song speak for itself and live as its own entity.
And I find that beautiful and quite rare nowadays.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Well, I think nowadays that a lot of music is
sort of paint by numbers and they piece together sounds
and different it's not as organic. The tradition that I
come from is very much about the muse. You know,
not to sound corny, but you know it was being
in inspired by something and letting that inspiration lead the
(10:05):
lead the way, and that that's how I write, and
it's how I record as well.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. I know that. Like everybody
wants to throw everything into a song, it's like, let's
see how much we can put into the production of
a song. Let's put this and you strategically will hold
back things just to let it breathe and to speak,
and you find the beauty of the different parts. And
that again, because you're also a producer, that's a great
talent to know when to throw it all in the
(10:32):
kitchen sink and when to just not.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
I've done it both ways. I produced a wonderful record
by an artist named Dan Navarro. And our approach, because
we had plenty of time, there was no deadline, was
to record as many ideas as we It took a
long time to do it this way, and it's I
wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but we recorded everything and then
(10:55):
we took a scalpel and got rid of this, got
rid of that. Got So that's a different way to paint.
The painting is to throw all the colors on and
then scrape some off.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah, is that harder to do because sometimes you get
something in your ear you're so used to it, and
then you got to say, well, now I got to
extract a little bit of the rhythm section here, I've
got to extract maybe the acoustic here. What is that
harder to do than the layer?
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yeah, definitely harder to do it that way. And I
just did it. Dan and I just built the studio
and we just were having fun recording and we just
went with that. No, generally I don't do that. There's
still a lot of surgery that happens at the end,
even if you're methodical about it. But I like to
(11:41):
listen to what I have and then build like I'm
missing on the second chorus, I'm just missing a texture
and then finding what that texture is.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
And so do you find it difficult to produce your
own I know you've produced other people's like Danny Korchmar
you co produced his album. Do you find it difficult
when it's your own, because sometimes it's hard to, you know,
see ourselves what we need to see Sometimes do you
bring in other ears or is it just something easier, like, yeah,
I kind of know what's supposed to be in the sauce.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
I've gotten really used to doing it, to the point
one of my records, I did hire a producer engineer,
and after a week we both realized it was just
taking longer for me to explain what I wanted to do.
And I find that I can. I've done it so
much and I've had a studio for so many years
(12:30):
that I can sort of compartmentalize and the producer part
of my brain and the artist part of my brain,
the guitarist part of my brain, and I can. I
can sort of zoom out as the producer and the
guitar player then doesn't get mad at me if I
get rid of the part you know that's true.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yeah, because yeah, I can understand that now.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I mean this record, for example, I had I had
talked to one of them since Sally passed away, when
the great producer mixers of all time, a guy named
Ed Scharney about mixing the record, and he came met
me and listened to stuff, and he said, you know,
because this record took a long time to make because
of COVID and some other things, and there was an
(13:14):
immediate family record in the middle. He said, you know
this music so well? He said, no one's gonna I
think you should. He was learning to say, I think
you should mix it because you are so intimate with
every note and every choice. And I think in the end,
although I got help at the end in terms of
playing it for some people, including him and saying what
(13:35):
do you hear? But I think it was the right choice.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Absolutely. It's a beautiful project, and the overall message of
the album is really I love it. It's about walking
through the hardships in life and coming out on the
other side stronger. For it, is that a feeling that
sort of you've always had in your life, or is
it something that maybe has evolved as you've gotten older.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
It's been somewhat of a theme. But yes, as I've definitely,
as I've gotten older and done this more and more
and just lived more and more, it's it's definitely become
an important I mean, you either you either close your
eyes to that life can be a little difficult, which
is not a great choice, or you suffer with it,
(14:17):
which is not a great choice, or you learn how
to navigate it. And to me, that's the best option.
And so that just that theme sneaks into my work.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I've noticed there is like a recurring theme and a
lot of your music with that message attached to it.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Yeah, I think so. I think there's some I did
a lot of studying of philosophies like Buddhism, and it's
part of that and a lot of philosophies. So it's
bound to you know, what you think about and how
you approach life. If you're on a songwriter, it's going
to sneak in there.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Oh your men, and you are. And networking is very
essential in the music industry, but my god, the list
of friends that you can draw from to create with you,
especially on this new album, it's unbelievable. It's like a
who's whose list? It's amazing.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Well, because I wear a number of hats. You know,
I'm I'm an artist, the artist guy, but I'm also
a producer and I'm also a studio musician. Over the years,
I've just interacted with so many fantastic people who have
become my friends and comrades in this crazy life. So
it's given me the opportunity to pick up the phone
(15:32):
and call a lot of different, really brilliant collaborators.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Oh absolutely, well, you know you've got to say something
that speaks. It's a testament to you because there are
a lot of people who work with a lot of
different people. They collaborate, but if they pick up the
phone and want to get something out of them in
the future, a lot of people don't answer that call
because they just don't want to work with them again.
And the fact that these amazing people keep coming back,
Like I have to mention, you were preparing a tour
with one of your really dear friends, David Crosby before
(15:58):
his untimely passing. I mean, it's hard to lose a friend,
but even in that way, it had to be extra
difficult for you.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
It was extra difficult, as you say, because I lost
a friend who had known for almost thirty years. But
I also we were collaborating on we were preparing a tour.
My whole vision of the next couple of years of
my life was built around David having taught me these
(16:29):
guitar parts because his hands were kind of failing, and
spending all these months learning how to play his music.
And so it was shocking because it was so sudden,
and it really put me in a bit of a
tailspin because I lost his friend, but I also lost
this sort of dream of that we were going to
(16:50):
go do this thing together.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yeah, and you're just continuing that legacy though. I just
saw recently. I think today you just posted something on Facebook.
You're going to be doing a true David.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Well, that's another one we just finished. I just finished
a tour called Our House, which was which is a
music of CSNY. We just played seventeen cities, I think,
and which that came out of really the band that
you know, the David and his son James Raymond I
put together. And then when he passed and we didn't
(17:21):
get to do the concert, we were approached, you know,
do you want to take this since you know the
music well, and you're intimate with it, do you want
to take it on the road. The next thing coming
up is a there's a label called Santa Barbara Records,
which pretty much focuses on artists in and around that area,
some really talented young people, not all young, but most
(17:44):
of them are. And since David lived up there, they're
doing a retrospective concert of his music with an orchestra
and James Raymond, his son, is involved, and I'm involved
in it should be tould be a very mad night,
I think absolutely.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
It's like I said, people don't realize, especially in the
music industry, it's not that you just are bandmates. A
lot of times you become you're on the road together,
you spend so much time creating together. It's actually family.
You're losing family members. You bond in a way that
I don't I've never seen in any other Like you know, stockbrokers,
(18:22):
they work, and I'm sure they have friendships and stuff,
but musicians have this lifelong bond that they've created musical
magic together. And I'm so happy that you're continuing that
legacy for him.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Yeah, I feel a little bit responsible like he in
a way, like I learned very specifically his his guitar
tunings and guitar patterns and how he played the songs.
And I'm not saying that other people don't play his
songs and play them well, but he taught me how
to do how to play them like he did. And
(18:56):
I feel like it's a nice thing to be able
to do that, to cont need to do that.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, most definitely. In speaking of family, I was lucky
enough to meet you after I had the wonderful Danny
Tedesco on the show a few years ago. Danny created
for those that don't know, the highly acclaimed documentary The
Immediate Family. And you were the newest inductee into that family.
You created with great like Danny Korchmar Wattie Walk, Tel,
(19:21):
Russ Conkle. You know another guest on the show, Leland Skillar,
He was on the show. So how was it? You know,
this is a solid knit group and in Walk Steve
post Out. I mean, how were you Were you embraced
into the media family right away? Were you like the
second cousin twice removed? I mean, how was it coming
into that group of people?
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Well?
Speaker 8 (19:38):
I knew first of all, I knew some of them
for like Leland and I had been working together for
years records of mine before, and Waddy played on a
record of mine. But Danny and I were working together
quite a bit. So even though I was the youngest
guy in the band, I was the one with Danny
who start did the pre production for the first record,
(20:00):
So I was kind of in there from the inception
of it, so I could be the young guy. But
it wasn't like I came in after they had wonderful
but the band, I certainly came in after fifty years
of friendship that they all had wonderful.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, you know the media family, they, like you said,
they're still putting out great music. They just released Skin
in the Game. That was a new album they just dropped,
and you were responsible. You were on that and you
worked very closely on that record.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Well, because again because the studio here, the way we
made our records with the media families. Jackson Brown is
a friend of all of ours, would let us go
into his studio and do the basic tracks and then
we would come back here and spend months here adding
and doing vocals and guitars and overdubs and mixing and
so on. So the process was very organic. And White
(20:50):
and everyone had their zone and Whitie and I worked
with this guy Nico Bulaus who's a great mixer to
mix the records. And we have another one coming up.
We've got one can Awesome, which I'm gonna start to
work on next month. It's all recorded and it's going
to be a really cool record because it's it's all
the hit songs that the guys have that everyone's been
(21:11):
involved with, either as a writer or a producer or whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, now you mentioned you guys. I mean it's been
like fifty years that some of you have known each
other and worked together. Is that a positive sometimes when
you're all working on a new project, because there's like
something that they say, what are the familiarity breeds contempt?
And sometimes when you know each other too well, it's
sometimes you butt heads or it sort of creates problems.
(21:34):
Whereas and just a bunch of people who come into
a new project, they may not know each other that well,
how do you feel that that process goes working with
somebody new versus somebody like fifty years?
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Well, yeah, those some few of those guys have known
each other and work together for fifty years. I've known
twenty years. It does obviously make it more comfortable to
butt heads because you your family, you know, like any family,
you're not you're not walking on tiptoes, which but that's
a good thing. And in the end, there's just so
(22:05):
much love and camaraderie that I mean, nothing can really
replace that. And music, you know, music has that really
almost more than you mentioned Stockbroker's almost more than anything,
including other arts, because it's not a solo adventure. We
are We're not only dependent on each other when we're
playing with other in a band or a band situation,
but when we're touring, we're living together. I mean the
(22:28):
tour I just did, we had meals and walks and
hikes and swimming and you know, in between and driving
six hours to the next gig, and you know, there's
a lot of shared experience and shared time and if
you know, look, obviously it's it's notorious how many bands
and artists don't get along with the Everly Brothers and
(22:51):
hall Notes and you know, all these different classic stories.
But we're a tighter knit group, as is the group
I just came out of. Just now.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah, I think honestly, because you guys came from a
kind of this core. Like in the case of the
Media Family, you guys were recession musicians. I mean you played,
You're backing artists who played on on liner notes of
almost every amazing artist, Carol King, James tayl Or like
you said, Jackson Brown, I mean these incredible acts. So
you sort of kind of learned to sort of know
(23:24):
when the ego can play and when the ego couldn't play.
So it's a beautiful balance when you are working on
a project together when to shine and when to kind
of step back and say, you know, I'm gonna listen
to that. I'm sort of gonna, you know, understand that.
And I think that maybe helped well.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
It does the barometer for what is a good studio
musician or a good person to put on your record
of your song probably the smallest part of it. Everyone
can play. There's a lot of great players, but it's
someone whose goal from the moment they walk in the
room is can I make this song better? Period? Is
(23:59):
there anything I can can add or subtract that I
feel with my years of experience might make this song
more powerful? That's it. If that's the goal, and you
all have the same goal, then that's what you're going
to eventually arrive at.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Now Walking through the Blues, it's just recently released. You
just came back from the first leg of your tour,
and I'm sure there's going to be many more dates
coming up. These beautiful twelve songs that you've created with
something like I said, some of these amazing David Crosby,
Glenn Phillips, I mean incredible people came onto this project.
At the end of the day, when you have the
listener who just goes home, puts headphones on and absorbs
(24:37):
it all from beginning to end, what do you want
them to take away from the new album?
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Well, ultimately, it's a personal experience, so whatever your personal
reaction is. But you know, any I think anybody who
makes art, I would like people to have an experience,
feel something, feel moved in some way, and relate their
own life to the stories musically and lyrically that are
(25:03):
in the song, so that so that it means something
to them. That's that's the goal and that's why we
do it.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
And do you have a favorite track? I know it's
like children, but I gotta ask, is there one that
you said, like, I can I can take them all,
but that's the one that's that's Steve Postsel, that's my
name on that.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Well, I think the most fun. I think that Bad
Weathers are really fun.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Oh yeah, it's sexy. It's a good tune.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Yeah, and Tony Furtado great blue grass players on it
and playing Dobo. But I think the one that there's
a song called when the Lights Go Out, the one
that David Crosby's on, Yes, and also Alfonso Johnson, who's
a brilliant bass players in Weather Report and Santana for years.
That's got a great, great guitar put In Marshall and
(25:49):
that's just got a lot of elements to me that
are very refined musically, arrangement wise, lyrically. So I guess
if I had to listen, if I had to listen
to one song over and ogain, it might be it
might be uh, when the Lights go Out?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah, I can see that. I mean they're all good,
and like you said, I think you can take away
something from each one and find something that's relevant in
your own life to what you are storytelling into each
of these songs. It's it's a beautiful, beautiful piece of
totality of work and everybody Stevepostell dot com, get the
new album Walking through the Blues, follow Steve's busy touring schedule,

Speaker 11 (29:57):
Come in here. Should have been a fresh start for

but it wasn't. If there's money to be made, there's
always a racket. The real racket comes with a smile,
a handshake, and a keen knowledge and finance. If I
had one mission, make sure the plan got executed.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
Flawless sleep and that's what I did.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
I know the evil the men do.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
I'm usually the first one they call a doing.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Oh yes, my spotlight guest today on the Scene with
Doreen has a real life story that is almost as
exciting as the characters he brings to life on the
silver screen. Actor director and screenwriter Chierdo de Paggio's ancestry
can be traced back to the same street in one
Italian town, but the former organized crime member turned Hollywood
hero is now turning his life lessons into mob culture
(30:51):
entertainment in the new movie Silent Partners, available now on
Amazon Prime and all major streaming platforms. So please, let's
welcome and screenwriter Chierto de Pago into this week Spotlight.
Hi Tchiwerto doing wonderful and you are in the beautiful
city of Boca Raton near Miami. I my favorite place
(31:12):
on earth.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
Yeah mine too.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh yes, well that's why you picked it to live there. Well,
you know a lot of people in Hollywood, they just
tell the stories, but you you actually lived the stories.
You were at one point entrenched in Florida's organized crime
network and served nineteen years in prison for racketeering. But
after you were released, you changed your life and you
(31:36):
started using those experiences to shape a film and television career.
And what was the turning point for you? What made
you realize that, Hey, this isn't a path I want
to go down anymore. I want to take this and
make art out of my downtime, my time that I'm
maybe I just want to change things and maybe spread
that message elsewhere. What changed in your life that made
(31:57):
you think of that?
Speaker 12 (31:58):
Well? Sure, first I want to correct the opening where
organized crime member. Yeah, I was knee deep in it
and affiliated with it, but I was never a maid guy.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
I just want to make sure that's understood, but I was.
Speaker 12 (32:11):
Heavily entrenched with the players involved, you know, some relatives and.
Speaker 9 (32:15):
Stuff like that. So yeah, I have an.
Speaker 12 (32:17):
Innate knowledge of how things operated down here. A lot
of times I orchestrated them and helped them move along
and make a lot of money for a lot of people.
And the reality of it is is that if I
had it to do all over again, I definitely would
have chose a different career path. You know, at the time,
it was seductive. It was the eighties. You felt like,
you know, that was the thing. But nothing is worth
(32:39):
you know, losing that amount of time with my children
and you know, family and stuff like that. So needless
to say, when you get out from doing something like that,
Number one, you got to figure out how you can
make some money again to live the type of lifestyle
that you're used to living, and that the right it's
(33:00):
just aren't the way to go. I mean, there's no
street life anymore. I mean people who claim that there is,
they're full of it. Because you're either going to end
up dead or in jail, and nine percent of the
time it's jail, you know, So you have to figure
out something else.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
And you know, I'm a pretty creative person.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
So I started thinking, why not put this put some
of these stories and stuff into effect, and Silent Partners
came about.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
Like that with my co creative, dave A Cavetti.
Speaker 12 (33:28):
His dad was the captain of the Gambino family down
here in South Florida for over forty.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Years, Fat dave A Cavetti.
Speaker 12 (33:36):
So we, you know, got together, me and him and said,
why don't we pull this one story out of the
fabric of that universe and bring it to light. Because
the insurance scam that they ran, nobody ever got caught
and you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (33:50):
So we changed the name and stuff like that.
Speaker 12 (33:52):
You know, it's Ganetti not Icivetti for the movie and
stuff like that. But you know, the basis of the
story around the insurance scam is all, you know, pretty
accurate of what went on to our knowledge. And yeah,
and with mob King, you know, I just pretty much
take the nuances of South Florida to South Floor. It
was different when it came to organized crime. It was
(34:13):
known as what it's called an open territory, so everybody
was operating down here, but you had to deal with
a lot of other entities.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
You know, there were a lot of latins and you know, different.
Speaker 12 (34:23):
Types of groups that you had to deal with, and
you had to have the ability to move within those circles.
And I was just really good at that, and I
was really good at making money for people, and that,
you know, will always put you at a higher you know,
glean in the eye of people when you're filling their pockets.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
With some gasumen.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Amen.
Speaker 12 (34:42):
You know that worked out pretty pretty good for everybody
for a short period of time to the you know,
shoe drops.
Speaker 9 (34:47):
But you know that was then. This is now.
Speaker 12 (34:50):
So I get out and I figure, let me just
put my creative juices towards making movies and projects.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
And turns out I'm pretty good.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Oh, yes you are that for a while. Yeah, you know,
many years. The mob culture is hot in Hollywood, in
the pop culture world. I mean there's movies, TV, reality series.
People can't get enough of that world. What do you
think makes it so attractive to the normal person like
(35:20):
myself or my producer Matt What is so sexy about
the mob world?
Speaker 12 (35:26):
Well, it's simple, really, people get to live vicariously through
the lens of someone doing.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
Something that they'll never do.
Speaker 12 (35:36):
I mean, fortunately, the majority of the population will never
go to prison. The majority of population will never enter
the rackets, and you know all of that stuff that
goes on, and you know they live vicariously through that,
and you know they go to work on Monday morning
and you know they quote the lines from the movies.
You know, yeah, say hello out to my little friend.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Yes, whatever else right.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Oh yes, make them an offer you can't refuse. Oh
there's so many. There's so many.
Speaker 12 (36:05):
So they live vicariously through these characters, and you know,
they get to be a bad guy for a couple
of hours.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
So you know, it's it's pretty good.
Speaker 12 (36:12):
I think what is really helping me is from what
I'm told from people in the industry, is that you know,
I get the beats right, you know, as far as
how the things are supposed to move and whatnot.
Speaker 9 (36:23):
And it's not you know, your stereotypical you know, everybody
get my money and break your legs type stuff.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
You know.
Speaker 12 (36:31):
So I think I found a niche on you know,
how I saw it through my eyes and how you
know I translate that to film with my team, and
you know that's one aspect of it. I mean I've
done two mob movies, but you know, we create a
lot of other stuff, you know, moving forward, so you
know that's going to be you know what happens.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Mm hmm. Well, I do want to say congrats on
the film Silent Partners. It's it's hot and if Ronnie Marmo,
Joseph too, James Russo, you got Gary Pastor, you know,
they all star with you in this. That's quite a cast.
That's a nice lineup.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
Yeah, those guys have been in some heavy duty movies.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
You know.
Speaker 12 (37:14):
You know, has played Maddie the Horse and the Dues
on HBO, James Russo, of course, Donnie Brasco. We have
Nick balloon Guy in there as well. He's the guy
that won the Academy Award for a Green Book. Ronnie
of course, you know, he does his really good stuff.
Lenny Bruce and he's a great actor. And Joseph Sanafrio,
you know, you don't have to bring up what he's done,
(37:34):
because he's done you know, all those old classics, you know,
the Bronx Tail, you know, he played Slick and good Fellas.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
You know, so you know he's he's built up his resume.
Speaker 12 (37:46):
And yeah, we you know, we have Anthony Corona there
who played Frank Urbino of Oz. He plays a very
prominent role in this coofax, his kind of goofy character
against my hardline. You know, hit Man plays great and
it really mean, you know, shows the nuances of that
world and how they people operate within them. So yeah,
(38:07):
I mean Gary's performance is great as Boss, you know,
as Fat Dave, and then James Russo as Frankie Kuttz.
Speaker 9 (38:14):
So it just worked out really good.
Speaker 12 (38:17):
We got a lot of strong performances from females, you know,
Carmel Borderelli specifically in London Grace.
Speaker 9 (38:25):
She really did a great.
Speaker 12 (38:26):
Part there with the abuse nature, so we can show
why people don't like.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
That too much, you know, handle that with her husband,
so you know, we have to tune in to see
what happened there.
Speaker 12 (38:37):
But it's you know, yeah, it was a lot of
fun and it came out better than I possibly could
have imagined.
Speaker 9 (38:43):
And thankfully, you know, people tend to want to.
Speaker 12 (38:46):
Dig into indie filmmakers because of budgets and stuff like that.
But we've gotten every critical critic that has watched our
movie and gave it a rady. I think there's eight
of them now on IMDb, you know, which is a
lot for independent film.
Speaker 9 (39:00):
They're all good, you know, and going reviews.
Speaker 12 (39:02):
So I was very happy to see that for everybody
who's involved in the movie, because a lot of people,
you know, worked with me without really having I didn't
really have a name, a shot a lot of this
movie six years ago, you know, so I had it
as a pilot. And it's kind of hard to break
out in this industry when you're just a guy in
Miami making stuff and you know, everything circulates around Hollywood
(39:24):
and stuff like that and nepotism and who.
Speaker 9 (39:26):
You know and all this, and so you know, I'm.
Speaker 12 (39:29):
Kind of pushing that ceiling a little higher and higher
and guys you know, coming to the table and helping me,
these renowned actors and stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (39:35):
So you know, I'm a firm believer.
Speaker 12 (39:38):
If you're meant to be somewhere, you'll get there, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (39:42):
So we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Oh yeah, And I want to mention for everyone listening
and watching, you're not just starring in the movie. You
are behind the camera as well. You are part of
making the casting decisions, you're producing, you're putting this all together,
so you you have her hands in all of it,
So it really is your vision and I'm so happy,
happy that it came out so well for you.
Speaker 12 (40:03):
Yeah, I mean I have a great team, you know.
My my main two guys on the on the back
end of stuff is George Josianes, he's my director and
a co writer, and James Bishop, who's.
Speaker 9 (40:14):
My co writer.
Speaker 12 (40:15):
So we're like the little nucleus of guys that come
up and create things, you know, together, and it's real
important to have the type of relationship that we have.
I am a strong producer. I cast everyone in Mob
King and everybody.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
In Silent Partners.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
A couple of actors came with the recommendation from Gary Patstory,
so I'm thankful for that. But in general, yeah, I
kind of wear the hats, you know. I did all
the art direction, found all the eighties clothing and props
and all of that. But if you really want to
be a hustler and show people what you're capable of
doing as a as a filmmaker, producer or whatever, you
need to be able to do that.
Speaker 9 (40:51):
In my opinion, so to me, it's kind of easy.
But you know, I've seen where other people get bogged
down by it.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
MM hmm, well, I wanted also congrats that you just
had to sold out premiere just recently in Miami at
there there what was it the seventy four, what was
the year. It's like their their film festival forty second
I'm jumping way, I'm aging now. This is like the
opposite what Hollywood wants to do. We're sposed a cut
years back, but no, congrats sold out premiere. That's got
(41:19):
to be pretty fulfilling for you after shooting for six
years and getting this life out there for you, this
this whole message, that's got to feel good.
Speaker 12 (41:27):
Actually, what we did we started shooting in six years ago,
like I said, and then COVID hit and.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
Thing was shut down for two years.
Speaker 12 (41:35):
And then I was like, you know what, I need
to just make this into a film, which was no
easy task because you know, you have to hope that
everybody still looks the same yes you, and create a story.
Speaker 9 (41:45):
That actually runs.
Speaker 12 (41:46):
Because when you have a TV pilot, there's a lot
of characters in Silent Partners, and it was done like
that because it was a pilot. You have to give
those those roles time to grow on screen over the
course of.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
A season or two. Right, So then we had to
turn around.
Speaker 12 (41:58):
And you've got to make everything go from start to
finish and put the whole story in there.
Speaker 9 (42:03):
So, you know, it was a real risk. We didn't
know whether we were gonna pull it off or not.
Speaker 12 (42:07):
So just the fact that we did is tremendous, and
the fact that it's well received is even better.
Speaker 9 (42:13):
But yeah, so you know, that's how it just worked out.
Speaker 12 (42:17):
I guess it was just meant to be because everything
that could could go wrong didn't, and everything that went
right went better than right, you know.
Speaker 9 (42:25):
So it was just a real blessing to have it
turn out the way that it did.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Absolutely, and the blessings, yeah, well, the blessings keep coming
for you.
Speaker 9 (42:35):
Yeah. The Miami Film Festival is a big deal.
Speaker 12 (42:37):
I got credit Breaking Glass for that because they had
already had all their films selected months in advance, and
Breaking Glass got them to take a look at our
film being filmed in Miami and stuff, and they added
us to the opening night and gave us the Kubek
Theater in which to do a co opening night. And
if you know about film festivals and something as prominent
as the Miami Film Festival, the opening night films and
(43:00):
the closing night film.
Speaker 9 (43:00):
They're a real big deal. So that was a big
feather in our hat.
Speaker 12 (43:04):
And to be able to open sold out at the
Miami Film Festival and then, you know, three weeks later,
get released and it's doing very well.
Speaker 9 (43:13):
So it's it's on its path.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Now mm and the blessings keep coming. I a little
Bertie told me that this is not this is just
beginning for you, and you have some exciting things coming
up with pilots.
Speaker 12 (43:24):
Yeah, you know, I'm gonna be working again with Breaking
Glasses and Enrich. They're great in their team, and we're
forming a producing partnership and we're putting together projects that
are pilots fully you know, already filmed everything done so
that they can go into pitch meetings with you know,
streamers like Paramount and HBO, Netflix, Showtime and be able
(43:47):
to say, hey, look this guy and his team are
producing pilots much in the way Taylor Sheridan has Paramount Lockdown,
you know with all those hits that he comes out with.
We want to have a content deal where we're producing
films and series for a network. That's the goal that
I've had since I started in this business, and I'm
(44:07):
really getting close to it now. So we finished our
first two pilots because Silent Partners, if you remember, I
told you it was a pilot, so we will be
shopping that pilot because it's still filmed as a pilot.
Speaker 9 (44:18):
So the movie's out.
Speaker 12 (44:19):
We have a pilot that has a completely different course
going on. And then we have a comedy called The
Cherry Picker, which is about a.
Speaker 9 (44:27):
Hollywood you know, a talent who goes around and I.
Speaker 12 (44:31):
Guess, cherry picking other people's ideas, and because he has
the money and the power and the connections, he turns
them into big hits.
Speaker 9 (44:37):
You know. He'll go pill for something off.
Speaker 12 (44:39):
Of YouTube, pill for an idea off of here and there,
and then creates a big story. So he gets called
on the carpet by one of the guys that he
stole the idea from.
Speaker 9 (44:47):
So that's pretty funny comedy.
Speaker 12 (44:49):
And then we have Burning Bridges, which is my foray
into the WWE type wrestling world. I played a character
called Jack Stacks, and you know, he's a thinking like
hul Cogan.
Speaker 9 (45:03):
You know, he's ten years past his prime. He's out
of the.
Speaker 12 (45:05):
Game, and all the money and all the fame and
all the riches are now starting to catch up to him.
Speaker 9 (45:09):
He was a bad guy his whole life.
Speaker 12 (45:10):
He's the worst guy on the street, and you know,
he just wants to be the best bad guy there
ever was. So he comes up with this diabolical plan
to get back in the ring because his partner is
now getting elected to the Hall of Fame and he's not,
and he's not happy about that.
Speaker 9 (45:24):
So, you know, it's a.
Speaker 12 (45:26):
Dark comedy, you know, with a melancholy center about a
guy just trying to find his way and be the
best bad guy that he can. And then the last
one is called him King, and it's basically a XCIA
Black Ops operative who gets set up by an Iranian
terrorist organization. They set him up by killing his family,
(45:47):
his wife, his four kids, and they make it look
like him. So he's on death row and the government
comes to him and offers him an opportunity to not
clear his name because as far as the records are
going to show, he's dies on death row, but he's
going to actually be free to go after the very
terrorist network that set him up, and you know, he's.
Speaker 9 (46:07):
Going to be operating as a ghost and hunting at will.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
Wow, you have some exciting things coming. How do you
keep it all straight? I mean that is a lot
of different ideas and they're all fully formed, wonderful ideas.
How do you keep your brain straight?
Speaker 12 (46:24):
Yeah, you know, like my partners and stuff, they'll they'll
always be like.
Speaker 9 (46:27):
Hey, let's just you know, deal with this one right now.
Speaker 12 (46:30):
And I'll be like, yeah, but this and this, And
I'm always pushing, you know, because I guess I just
work on a faster scale than everybody else.
Speaker 9 (46:36):
I don't really know, but you know, my guys tend
to keep up with me.
Speaker 12 (46:39):
We get things out and it's no easy task to
do that, you know, but we're doing it.
Speaker 9 (46:45):
So I don't really know how I keep it on straight.
I just do it, you know. I don't really think
about it.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (46:50):
Know what I got to do, and I do it.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
I love it. While I want everyone watch Tyudo, Depagio

digital platforms. Also, you have a big presence on Instagram,

up and comers, and hopefully I will move into the
hour long segment while I'm actually a guy who will arrived.

(01:01):
want to welcome my incredible producer, Matt minaric Ii.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Matt, Hey, Dorian, how you doing good.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I finally did the right order of how I've wanted
to do this intro all along, and I just you know,
I've never done it right. It's always been like out
of order, out of sequence. It's never quite made sense.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
The first time it is it is.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And I said, just in time for me to take
a break.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Yeah, yeah, I'm glad though. I'm glad you're taking a break.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Though I haven't had a vacation, and I joke about
it now. I can't usually use this anymore because this
is like my little go to thing. I haven't had
a real vacation since before COVID.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Wow, that's a long time. Where are you going home?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So it's not really a vacation, all right.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
I'm going I'm going to vacation to Buffalo, New York.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Buffalo, New York's done that. Maybe Niagara Falls. Remember that
used to be the honeymoon capital of the world, Superman.
You know, the whole that was like really close, Like
they're literally like next to each other. It's very very close.
I'm not technically Buffalo. I'm the Buffalo area where I
grew up. I grew up more of in a farm
town called all in New York, and so I'm sort
(02:05):
of about thirty minutes outside Buffalo. But yeah, we're all
about the same.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah, I mean that's when you know people always you say, oh,
where are you from out in Philadelphia area? Yes, I
think people say, oh, you're from phil outside of whatever
I say it to you, whatever you think, I.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Live South Jersey. But when I'm away from this area,
I will say, oh, Philadelphia, because I'm gonna say South Jersey,
They're gonna be like.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, I grew up in Pottstown and nobody if you're
not from this area, you don't know. So I just say,
like outside of Philadelphia whatever.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, yeah, it's true. And sometimes you know, like when
I'm out and about, like you say South Jersey immediately
or New Jersey. They still think of that stupid reality show.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
That Jersey Shore. Yeah, like the whole state is the Jersey.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Unfortunately, all the rest of the country think that we
were like snooky over in Jersey and it's so not
me because I guess maybe I wasn't born there.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
But yeah, it's a different Jersey. That's like more in
northern Jersey, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
It's a Jersey thing.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, there's two different New Jerseys.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
There's south Central.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Eagles New Jersey and Giants New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
And then you have all the scumbag cowboys fans like
mixed in somewhere.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
They're everywhere. They're like invading. They're like little parasites that
pop up all over the area. Yeah, you see them,
you get to see the star occasionally and people still
wear it. Do you remember back in the day. We
had somebody working on our crew a long time ago
that came in and didn't it was our first time
working with us, And what was he wearing.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
He was wearing a Cowboys had I thought you were
going to kill him with the logo upside down, like there,
I guess there.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Was a Well that's the only way you should wear it.
We should wear it. He might have had something on it,
you know, could have been a little tattoo. He really
liked Ellis, so you know, could have been. But I
was surprised because I was like I saw it walk
through the door, and I'm like, oh God, oh God,
don't let me see it. And I'm like, how are
you not going to see it? We're like two feet
apart from each other.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
If you want to be a Cowboys fan, I mean,
I mean, if I had to do some work in Dallas,
I share as hell would wear Eagle stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
You kind of got to know your place of where
you are. Like if I'm going out of town and
I like I used to go to the garden to
watch the Sabers play, I'm not wearing Sabers colors. I'm not.
I'm not going to do it just because I wear
black usually and that way. No, I'm neutral. Nobody knows
what my affiliation except when I stand up and cheer.
But unfortunately Buffalo teams we don't cheer very often.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
So it's good.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Oh, this is the year, this is the air. Maybe
maybe maybe I said, if they acquired enough in the
off season to help Josh Allen, then yes, this is.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Lost a lot last year and did much better than
I thought, so who knows.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Got to cut that way sometimes sometimes those those players
are just bringing you down. You gotta gotta invest where
you need it. And I'm sounding like a sports person.
I can't do that.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
You're a fan, I know you.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I have a working knowledge of sports and I've been
growing up all my life. So it's it's nice. And
then when I go home, I have to refresh because
you know, in Buffalo it's all people talk about, even
in the off season, so I got to make sure
I get back into stats and everything like that.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah, I mean we're getting there.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
We're all in there.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And speaking of the Bills, I they're on hard knocks.
What do you mean in every year the NFL. They
follow around a team. Oh the show, the show.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's who they picked this year.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
This yeah, and actually I know this will air two
days after it happens, but today it is the first
episode on HBO.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Well there you go, shout out to the bills and
we can see the behind the scenes of the behind
the scene of the scene with Doreen. Oh my god,
that's what much. But yeah, I'm just so excited that
we're going to be on a little bit of vacation
for a couple of weeks. But we're gonna be playing
good repeats some of the best of us. I don't
know who yet, but we're gonna be playing some good shows.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Got to stay tuned to find out, you.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Do, because we never know around here. We like to
mix it up, that's right. And like today we're mixing
it up. Instead of having our main guest that we
normally have, we're going to be highlighting two equal opportunity
awesome people for the spotlight.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Spot two people in the spotlight.
Speaker 6 (06:15):

Oh Yes, this week's the Scene with Dorrin's Spotlight. Guest's
musical journey has taken him from music conservatory to Broadway shows,
to composing music for film, television and ballet, to rock
and roll tours and years as a studio musician, singer, songwriter,
guitarist and producer. Steve Postel has been a fixture in
(07:26):
the music scene for multiple decades and has performed and
collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry
like David Crosby, Glenn Phillips, Danny Korchmark, Kenny Loggin's justin
name a few. Steve just released his newest album, Walking
Through the Blues, a beautifully rich musical tapestry consisting of
twelve new songs. Working with some of the best musicians
(07:47):
in the world, Steve brings musicianship and integrity to the
craft of storytelling through song. So, without further ado, let's
shine today's spotlight on singer, songwriter, musician and producer extraordinaire
Steve Postel. Hay, Steve, Hey, there, hire good, How are
you doing good?
Speaker 8 (08:05):
Just got back off tour and back to it.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I love it. I have been wanting to talk to
you for so long, and I'm so glad to finally connected.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Wise.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, so, first of all, congrats on the release of
your new album, Walking Through These Blues. Thank you for
creating honest, real music with real musicians while staying true
to your musical roots.
Speaker 8 (08:29):
Well that's the idea for me anyway.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, so what inspired this new album? I mean, you've
been working consistently through the industry for so many years,
but what inspired this album? Right now?
Speaker 8 (08:39):
It's for me. It's more like a gathering of whatever
material I have, and at a certain point I usually
go I have ten or I have fourteen new songs,
it's time to make a record. So the music kind
of dictates me when it's time to start recording it.
Sometimes I have a label like now, sometimes I haven't.
(09:00):
But if I have that many songs that are I
feel worthy of being in a nice compilation, I'll get
together in my studio. Fortunately I have a studio as
you can see, yes beautiful, so I can record any
time I want. So the records happen when when I
have time in between other projects and when I have
(09:21):
enough songs.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Really awesome and I love the idea that you are
big about letting the song dictate just the arrangement or
dictate the musicians that are on it. You let the
song speak for itself and live as its own entity.
And I find that beautiful and quite rare nowadays.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
Well, I think nowadays that a lot of music is
sort of paint by numbers and they piece together sounds
and different it's not as organic. The tradition that I
come from is very much about the muse. You know,
not to sound corny, but you know it was being
in inspired by something and letting that inspiration lead the
(10:05):
lead the way, and that that's how I write, and
it's how I record as well.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. I know that. Like everybody
wants to throw everything into a song, it's like, let's
see how much we can put into the production of
a song. Let's put this and you strategically will hold
back things just to let it breathe and to speak,
and you find the beauty of the different parts. And
that again, because you're also a producer, that's a great
talent to know when to throw it all in the
(10:32):
kitchen sink and when to just not.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
I've done it both ways. I produced a wonderful record
by an artist named Dan Navarro. And our approach, because
we had plenty of time, there was no deadline, was
to record as many ideas as we It took a
long time to do it this way, and it's I
wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but we recorded everything and then
(10:55):
we took a scalpel and got rid of this, got
rid of that. Got So that's a different way to paint.
The painting is to throw all the colors on and
then scrape some off.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yeah, is that harder to do because sometimes you get
something in your ear you're so used to it, and
then you got to say, well, now I got to
extract a little bit of the rhythm section here, I've
got to extract maybe the acoustic here. What is that
harder to do than the layer?
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yeah, definitely harder to do it that way. And I
just did it. Dan and I just built the studio
and we just were having fun recording and we just
went with that. No, generally I don't do that. There's
still a lot of surgery that happens at the end,
even if you're methodical about it. But I like to
(11:41):
listen to what I have and then build like I'm
missing on the second chorus, I'm just missing a texture
and then finding what that texture is.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
And so do you find it difficult to produce your
own I know you've produced other people's like Danny Korchmar
you co produced his album. Do you find it difficult
when it's your own, because sometimes it's hard to, you know,
see ourselves what we need to see Sometimes do you
bring in other ears or is it just something easier, like, yeah,
I kind of know what's supposed to be in the sauce.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
I've gotten really used to doing it, to the point
one of my records, I did hire a producer engineer,
and after a week we both realized it was just
taking longer for me to explain what I wanted to do.
And I find that I can. I've done it so
much and I've had a studio for so many years
(12:30):
that I can sort of compartmentalize and the producer part
of my brain and the artist part of my brain,
the guitarist part of my brain, and I can. I
can sort of zoom out as the producer and the
guitar player then doesn't get mad at me if I
get rid of the part you know that's true.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yeah, because yeah, I can understand that now.
Speaker 8 (12:53):
I mean this record, for example, I had I had
talked to one of them since Sally passed away, when
the great producer mixers of all time, a guy named
Ed Scharney about mixing the record, and he came met
me and listened to stuff, and he said, you know,
because this record took a long time to make because
of COVID and some other things, and there was an
(13:14):
immediate family record in the middle. He said, you know
this music so well? He said, no one's gonna I
think you should. He was learning to say, I think
you should mix it because you are so intimate with
every note and every choice. And I think in the end,
although I got help at the end in terms of
playing it for some people, including him and saying what
(13:35):
do you hear? But I think it was the right choice.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Absolutely. It's a beautiful project, and the overall message of
the album is really I love it. It's about walking
through the hardships in life and coming out on the
other side stronger. For it, is that a feeling that
sort of you've always had in your life, or is
it something that maybe has evolved as you've gotten older.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
It's been somewhat of a theme. But yes, as I've definitely,
as I've gotten older and done this more and more
and just lived more and more, it's it's definitely become
an important I mean, you either you either close your
eyes to that life can be a little difficult, which
is not a great choice, or you suffer with it,
(14:17):
which is not a great choice, or you learn how
to navigate it. And to me, that's the best option.
And so that just that theme sneaks into my work.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I've noticed there is like a recurring theme and a
lot of your music with that message attached to it.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Yeah, I think so. I think there's some I did
a lot of studying of philosophies like Buddhism, and it's
part of that and a lot of philosophies. So it's
bound to you know, what you think about and how
you approach life. If you're on a songwriter, it's going
to sneak in there.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Oh your men, and you are. And networking is very
essential in the music industry, but my god, the list
of friends that you can draw from to create with you,
especially on this new album, it's unbelievable. It's like a
who's whose list? It's amazing.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Well, because I wear a number of hats. You know,
I'm I'm an artist, the artist guy, but I'm also
a producer and I'm also a studio musician. Over the years,
I've just interacted with so many fantastic people who have
become my friends and comrades in this crazy life. So
it's given me the opportunity to pick up the phone
(15:32):
and call a lot of different, really brilliant collaborators.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Oh absolutely, well, you know you've got to say something
that speaks. It's a testament to you because there are
a lot of people who work with a lot of
different people. They collaborate, but if they pick up the
phone and want to get something out of them in
the future, a lot of people don't answer that call
because they just don't want to work with them again.
And the fact that these amazing people keep coming back,
Like I have to mention, you were preparing a tour
with one of your really dear friends, David Crosby before
(15:58):
his untimely passing. I mean, it's hard to lose a friend,
but even in that way, it had to be extra
difficult for you.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
It was extra difficult, as you say, because I lost
a friend who had known for almost thirty years. But
I also we were collaborating on we were preparing a tour.
My whole vision of the next couple of years of
my life was built around David having taught me these
(16:29):
guitar parts because his hands were kind of failing, and
spending all these months learning how to play his music.
And so it was shocking because it was so sudden,
and it really put me in a bit of a
tailspin because I lost his friend, but I also lost
this sort of dream of that we were going to
(16:50):
go do this thing together.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Yeah, and you're just continuing that legacy though. I just
saw recently. I think today you just posted something on Facebook.
You're going to be doing a true David.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Well, that's another one we just finished. I just finished
a tour called Our House, which was which is a
music of CSNY. We just played seventeen cities, I think,
and which that came out of really the band that
you know, the David and his son James Raymond I
put together. And then when he passed and we didn't
(17:21):
get to do the concert, we were approached, you know,
do you want to take this since you know the
music well, and you're intimate with it, do you want
to take it on the road. The next thing coming
up is a there's a label called Santa Barbara Records,
which pretty much focuses on artists in and around that area,
some really talented young people, not all young, but most
(17:44):
of them are. And since David lived up there, they're
doing a retrospective concert of his music with an orchestra
and James Raymond, his son, is involved, and I'm involved
in it should be tould be a very mad night,
I think absolutely.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
It's like I said, people don't realize, especially in the
music industry, it's not that you just are bandmates. A
lot of times you become you're on the road together,
you spend so much time creating together. It's actually family.
You're losing family members. You bond in a way that
I don't I've never seen in any other Like you know, stockbrokers,
(18:22):
they work, and I'm sure they have friendships and stuff,
but musicians have this lifelong bond that they've created musical
magic together. And I'm so happy that you're continuing that
legacy for him.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Yeah, I feel a little bit responsible like he in
a way, like I learned very specifically his his guitar
tunings and guitar patterns and how he played the songs.
And I'm not saying that other people don't play his
songs and play them well, but he taught me how
to do how to play them like he did. And
(18:56):
I feel like it's a nice thing to be able
to do that, to cont need to do that.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, most definitely. In speaking of family, I was lucky
enough to meet you after I had the wonderful Danny
Tedesco on the show a few years ago. Danny created
for those that don't know, the highly acclaimed documentary The
Immediate Family. And you were the newest inductee into that family.
You created with great like Danny Korchmar Wattie Walk, Tel,
(19:21):
Russ Conkle. You know another guest on the show, Leland Skillar,
He was on the show. So how was it? You know,
this is a solid knit group and in Walk Steve
post Out. I mean, how were you Were you embraced
into the media family right away? Were you like the
second cousin twice removed? I mean, how was it coming
into that group of people?
Speaker 9 (19:38):
Well?
Speaker 8 (19:38):
I knew first of all, I knew some of them
for like Leland and I had been working together for
years records of mine before, and Waddy played on a
record of mine. But Danny and I were working together
quite a bit. So even though I was the youngest
guy in the band, I was the one with Danny
who start did the pre production for the first record,
(20:00):
So I was kind of in there from the inception
of it, so I could be the young guy. But
it wasn't like I came in after they had wonderful
but the band, I certainly came in after fifty years
of friendship that they all had wonderful.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah, you know the media family, they, like you said,
they're still putting out great music. They just released Skin
in the Game. That was a new album they just dropped,
and you were responsible. You were on that and you
worked very closely on that record.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Well, because again because the studio here, the way we
made our records with the media families. Jackson Brown is
a friend of all of ours, would let us go
into his studio and do the basic tracks and then
we would come back here and spend months here adding
and doing vocals and guitars and overdubs and mixing and
so on. So the process was very organic. And White
(20:50):
and everyone had their zone and Whitie and I worked
with this guy Nico Bulaus who's a great mixer to
mix the records. And we have another one coming up.
We've got one can Awesome, which I'm gonna start to
work on next month. It's all recorded and it's going
to be a really cool record because it's it's all
the hit songs that the guys have that everyone's been
(21:11):
involved with, either as a writer or a producer or whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, now you mentioned you guys. I mean it's been
like fifty years that some of you have known each
other and worked together. Is that a positive sometimes when
you're all working on a new project, because there's like
something that they say, what are the familiarity breeds contempt?
And sometimes when you know each other too well, it's
sometimes you butt heads or it sort of creates problems.
(21:34):
Whereas and just a bunch of people who come into
a new project, they may not know each other that well,
how do you feel that that process goes working with
somebody new versus somebody like fifty years?
Speaker 8 (21:43):
Well, yeah, those some few of those guys have known
each other and work together for fifty years. I've known
twenty years. It does obviously make it more comfortable to
butt heads because you your family, you know, like any family,
you're not you're not walking on tiptoes, which but that's
a good thing. And in the end, there's just so
(22:05):
much love and camaraderie that I mean, nothing can really
replace that. And music, you know, music has that really
almost more than you mentioned Stockbroker's almost more than anything,
including other arts, because it's not a solo adventure. We
are We're not only dependent on each other when we're
playing with other in a band or a band situation,
but when we're touring, we're living together. I mean the
(22:28):
tour I just did, we had meals and walks and
hikes and swimming and you know, in between and driving
six hours to the next gig, and you know, there's
a lot of shared experience and shared time and if
you know, look, obviously it's it's notorious how many bands
and artists don't get along with the Everly Brothers and
(22:51):
hall Notes and you know, all these different classic stories.
But we're a tighter knit group, as is the group
I just came out of. Just now.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah, I think honestly, because you guys came from a
kind of this core. Like in the case of the
Media Family, you guys were recession musicians. I mean you played,
You're backing artists who played on on liner notes of
almost every amazing artist, Carol King, James tayl Or like
you said, Jackson Brown, I mean these incredible acts. So
you sort of kind of learned to sort of know
(23:24):
when the ego can play and when the ego couldn't play.
So it's a beautiful balance when you are working on
a project together when to shine and when to kind
of step back and say, you know, I'm gonna listen
to that. I'm sort of gonna, you know, understand that.
And I think that maybe helped well.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
It does the barometer for what is a good studio
musician or a good person to put on your record
of your song probably the smallest part of it. Everyone
can play. There's a lot of great players, but it's
someone whose goal from the moment they walk in the
room is can I make this song better? Period? Is
(23:59):
there anything I can can add or subtract that I
feel with my years of experience might make this song
more powerful? That's it. If that's the goal, and you
all have the same goal, then that's what you're going
to eventually arrive at.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Now Walking through the Blues, it's just recently released. You
just came back from the first leg of your tour,
and I'm sure there's going to be many more dates
coming up. These beautiful twelve songs that you've created with
something like I said, some of these amazing David Crosby,
Glenn Phillips, I mean incredible people came onto this project.
At the end of the day, when you have the
listener who just goes home, puts headphones on and absorbs
(24:37):
it all from beginning to end, what do you want
them to take away from the new album?
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Well, ultimately, it's a personal experience, so whatever your personal
reaction is. But you know, any I think anybody who
makes art, I would like people to have an experience,
feel something, feel moved in some way, and relate their
own life to the stories musically and lyrically that are
(25:03):
in the song, so that so that it means something
to them. That's that's the goal and that's why we
do it.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
And do you have a favorite track? I know it's
like children, but I gotta ask, is there one that
you said, like, I can I can take them all,
but that's the one that's that's Steve Postsel, that's my
name on that.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Well, I think the most fun. I think that Bad
Weathers are really fun.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Oh yeah, it's sexy. It's a good tune.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Yeah, and Tony Furtado great blue grass players on it
and playing Dobo. But I think the one that there's
a song called when the Lights Go Out, the one
that David Crosby's on, Yes, and also Alfonso Johnson, who's
a brilliant bass players in Weather Report and Santana for years.
That's got a great, great guitar put In Marshall and
(25:49):
that's just got a lot of elements to me that
are very refined musically, arrangement wise, lyrically. So I guess
if I had to listen, if I had to listen
to one song over and ogain, it might be it
might be uh, when the Lights go Out?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah, I can see that. I mean they're all good,
and like you said, I think you can take away
something from each one and find something that's relevant in
your own life to what you are storytelling into each
of these songs. It's it's a beautiful, beautiful piece of
totality of work and everybody Stevepostell dot com, get the
new album Walking through the Blues, follow Steve's busy touring schedule,

Speaker 11 (29:57):
Come in here. Should have been a fresh start for
me to roll in from the cold and reinvent myself,
but it wasn't. If there's money to be made, there's
always a racket. The real racket comes with a smile,
a handshake, and a keen knowledge and finance. If I
had one mission, make sure the plan got executed.
Speaker 8 (30:16):
Flawless sleep and that's what I did.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
I know the evil the men do.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
I'm usually the first one they call a doing.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Oh yes, my spotlight guest today on the Scene with
Doreen has a real life story that is almost as
exciting as the characters he brings to life on the
silver screen. Actor director and screenwriter Chierdo de Paggio's ancestry
can be traced back to the same street in one
Italian town, but the former organized crime member turned Hollywood
hero is now turning his life lessons into mob culture
(30:51):
entertainment in the new movie Silent Partners, available now on
Amazon Prime and all major streaming platforms. So please, let's
welcome and screenwriter Chierto de Pago into this week Spotlight.
Hi Tchiwerto doing wonderful and you are in the beautiful
city of Boca Raton near Miami. I my favorite place
(31:12):
on earth.
Speaker 9 (31:13):
Yeah mine too.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh yes, well that's why you picked it to live there. Well,
you know a lot of people in Hollywood, they just
tell the stories, but you you actually lived the stories.
You were at one point entrenched in Florida's organized crime
network and served nineteen years in prison for racketeering. But
after you were released, you changed your life and you
(31:36):
started using those experiences to shape a film and television career.
And what was the turning point for you? What made
you realize that, Hey, this isn't a path I want
to go down anymore. I want to take this and
make art out of my downtime, my time that I'm
maybe I just want to change things and maybe spread
that message elsewhere. What changed in your life that made
(31:57):
you think of that?
Speaker 12 (31:58):
Well? Sure, first I want to correct the opening where
organized crime member. Yeah, I was knee deep in it
and affiliated with it, but I was never a maid guy.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
I just want to make sure that's understood, but I was.
Speaker 12 (32:11):
Heavily entrenched with the players involved, you know, some relatives and.
Speaker 9 (32:15):
Stuff like that. So yeah, I have an.
Speaker 12 (32:17):
Innate knowledge of how things operated down here. A lot
of times I orchestrated them and helped them move along
and make a lot of money for a lot of people.
And the reality of it is is that if I
had it to do all over again, I definitely would
have chose a different career path. You know, at the time,
it was seductive. It was the eighties. You felt like,
you know, that was the thing. But nothing is worth
(32:39):
you know, losing that amount of time with my children
and you know, family and stuff like that. So needless
to say, when you get out from doing something like that,
Number one, you got to figure out how you can
make some money again to live the type of lifestyle
that you're used to living, and that the right it's
(33:00):
just aren't the way to go. I mean, there's no
street life anymore. I mean people who claim that there is,
they're full of it. Because you're either going to end
up dead or in jail, and nine percent of the
time it's jail, you know, So you have to figure
out something else.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
And you know, I'm a pretty creative person.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
So I started thinking, why not put this put some
of these stories and stuff into effect, and Silent Partners
came about.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
Like that with my co creative, dave A Cavetti.
Speaker 12 (33:28):
His dad was the captain of the Gambino family down
here in South Florida for over forty.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Years, Fat dave A Cavetti.
Speaker 12 (33:36):
So we, you know, got together, me and him and said,
why don't we pull this one story out of the
fabric of that universe and bring it to light. Because
the insurance scam that they ran, nobody ever got caught
and you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (33:50):
So we changed the name and stuff like that.
Speaker 12 (33:52):
You know, it's Ganetti not Icivetti for the movie and
stuff like that. But you know, the basis of the
story around the insurance scam is all, you know, pretty
accurate of what went on to our knowledge. And yeah,
and with mob King, you know, I just pretty much
take the nuances of South Florida to South Floor. It
was different when it came to organized crime. It was
(34:13):
known as what it's called an open territory, so everybody
was operating down here, but you had to deal with
a lot of other entities.
Speaker 9 (34:20):
You know, there were a lot of latins and you know, different.
Speaker 12 (34:23):
Types of groups that you had to deal with, and
you had to have the ability to move within those circles.
And I was just really good at that, and I
was really good at making money for people, and that,
you know, will always put you at a higher you know,
glean in the eye of people when you're filling their pockets.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
With some gasumen.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Amen.
Speaker 12 (34:42):
You know that worked out pretty pretty good for everybody
for a short period of time to the you know,
shoe drops.
Speaker 9 (34:47):
But you know that was then. This is now.
Speaker 12 (34:50):
So I get out and I figure, let me just
put my creative juices towards making movies and projects.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
And turns out I'm pretty good.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Oh, yes you are that for a while. Yeah, you know,
many years. The mob culture is hot in Hollywood, in
the pop culture world. I mean there's movies, TV, reality series.
People can't get enough of that world. What do you
think makes it so attractive to the normal person like
(35:20):
myself or my producer Matt What is so sexy about
the mob world?
Speaker 12 (35:26):
Well, it's simple, really, people get to live vicariously through
the lens of someone doing.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
Something that they'll never do.
Speaker 12 (35:36):
I mean, fortunately, the majority of the population will never
go to prison. The majority of population will never enter
the rackets, and you know all of that stuff that
goes on, and you know they live vicariously through that,
and you know they go to work on Monday morning
and you know they quote the lines from the movies.
You know, yeah, say hello out to my little friend.
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Yes, whatever else right.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Oh yes, make them an offer you can't refuse. Oh
there's so many. There's so many.
Speaker 12 (36:05):
So they live vicariously through these characters, and you know,
they get to be a bad guy for a couple
of hours.
Speaker 9 (36:10):
So you know, it's it's pretty good.
Speaker 12 (36:12):
I think what is really helping me is from what
I'm told from people in the industry, is that you know,
I get the beats right, you know, as far as
how the things are supposed to move and whatnot.
Speaker 9 (36:23):
And it's not you know, your stereotypical you know, everybody
get my money and break your legs type stuff.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
You know.
Speaker 12 (36:31):
So I think I found a niche on you know,
how I saw it through my eyes and how you
know I translate that to film with my team, and
you know that's one aspect of it. I mean I've
done two mob movies, but you know, we create a
lot of other stuff, you know, moving forward, so you
know that's going to be you know what happens.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Mm hmm. Well, I do want to say congrats on
the film Silent Partners. It's it's hot and if Ronnie Marmo,
Joseph too, James Russo, you got Gary Pastor, you know,
they all star with you in this. That's quite a cast.
That's a nice lineup.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
Yeah, those guys have been in some heavy duty movies.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
You know.
Speaker 12 (37:14):
You know, has played Maddie the Horse and the Dues
on HBO, James Russo, of course, Donnie Brasco. We have
Nick balloon Guy in there as well. He's the guy
that won the Academy Award for a Green Book. Ronnie
of course, you know, he does his really good stuff.
Lenny Bruce and he's a great actor. And Joseph Sanafrio,
you know, you don't have to bring up what he's done,
(37:34):
because he's done you know, all those old classics, you know,
the Bronx Tail, you know, he played Slick and good Fellas.
Speaker 9 (37:42):
You know, so you know he's he's built up his resume.
Speaker 12 (37:46):
And yeah, we you know, we have Anthony Corona there
who played Frank Urbino of Oz. He plays a very
prominent role in this coofax, his kind of goofy character
against my hardline. You know, hit Man plays great and
it really mean, you know, shows the nuances of that
world and how they people operate within them. So yeah,
(38:07):
I mean Gary's performance is great as Boss, you know,
as Fat Dave, and then James Russo as Frankie Kuttz.
Speaker 9 (38:14):
So it just worked out really good.
Speaker 12 (38:17):
We got a lot of strong performances from females, you know,
Carmel Borderelli specifically in London Grace.
Speaker 9 (38:25):
She really did a great.
Speaker 12 (38:26):
Part there with the abuse nature, so we can show
why people don't like.
Speaker 9 (38:30):
That too much, you know, handle that with her husband,
so you know, we have to tune in to see
what happened there.
Speaker 12 (38:37):
But it's you know, yeah, it was a lot of
fun and it came out better than I possibly could
have imagined.
Speaker 9 (38:43):
And thankfully, you know, people tend to want to.
Speaker 12 (38:46):
Dig into indie filmmakers because of budgets and stuff like that.
But we've gotten every critical critic that has watched our
movie and gave it a rady. I think there's eight
of them now on IMDb, you know, which is a
lot for independent film.
Speaker 9 (39:00):
They're all good, you know, and going reviews.
Speaker 12 (39:02):
So I was very happy to see that for everybody
who's involved in the movie, because a lot of people,
you know, worked with me without really having I didn't
really have a name, a shot a lot of this
movie six years ago, you know, so I had it
as a pilot. And it's kind of hard to break
out in this industry when you're just a guy in
Miami making stuff and you know, everything circulates around Hollywood
(39:24):
and stuff like that and nepotism and who.
Speaker 9 (39:26):
You know and all this, and so you know, I'm.
Speaker 12 (39:29):
Kind of pushing that ceiling a little higher and higher
and guys you know, coming to the table and helping me,
these renowned actors and stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (39:35):
So you know, I'm a firm believer.
Speaker 12 (39:38):
If you're meant to be somewhere, you'll get there, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (39:42):
So we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Oh yeah, And I want to mention for everyone listening
and watching, you're not just starring in the movie. You
are behind the camera as well. You are part of
making the casting decisions, you're producing, you're putting this all together,
so you you have her hands in all of it,
So it really is your vision and I'm so happy,
happy that it came out so well for you.
Speaker 12 (40:03):
Yeah, I mean I have a great team, you know.
My my main two guys on the on the back
end of stuff is George Josianes, he's my director and
a co writer, and James Bishop, who's.
Speaker 9 (40:14):
My co writer.
Speaker 12 (40:15):
So we're like the little nucleus of guys that come
up and create things, you know, together, and it's real
important to have the type of relationship that we have.
I am a strong producer. I cast everyone in Mob
King and everybody.
Speaker 9 (40:29):
In Silent Partners.
Speaker 12 (40:31):
A couple of actors came with the recommendation from Gary Patstory,
so I'm thankful for that. But in general, yeah, I
kind of wear the hats, you know. I did all
the art direction, found all the eighties clothing and props
and all of that. But if you really want to
be a hustler and show people what you're capable of
doing as a as a filmmaker, producer or whatever, you
need to be able to do that.
Speaker 9 (40:51):
In my opinion, so to me, it's kind of easy.
But you know, I've seen where other people get bogged
down by it.
Speaker 4 (40:58):
MM hmm, well, I wanted also congrats that you just
had to sold out premiere just recently in Miami at
there there what was it the seventy four, what was
the year. It's like their their film festival forty second
I'm jumping way, I'm aging now. This is like the
opposite what Hollywood wants to do. We're sposed a cut
years back, but no, congrats sold out premiere. That's got
(41:19):
to be pretty fulfilling for you after shooting for six
years and getting this life out there for you, this
this whole message, that's got to feel good.
Speaker 12 (41:27):
Actually, what we did we started shooting in six years ago,
like I said, and then COVID hit and.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (41:33):
Thing was shut down for two years.
Speaker 12 (41:35):
And then I was like, you know what, I need
to just make this into a film, which was no
easy task because you know, you have to hope that
everybody still looks the same yes you, and create a story.
Speaker 9 (41:45):
That actually runs.
Speaker 12 (41:46):
Because when you have a TV pilot, there's a lot
of characters in Silent Partners, and it was done like
that because it was a pilot. You have to give
those those roles time to grow on screen over the
course of.
Speaker 9 (41:56):
A season or two. Right, So then we had to
turn around.
Speaker 12 (41:58):
And you've got to make everything go from start to
finish and put the whole story in there.
Speaker 9 (42:03):
So, you know, it was a real risk. We didn't
know whether we were gonna pull it off or not.
Speaker 12 (42:07):
So just the fact that we did is tremendous, and
the fact that it's well received is even better.
Speaker 9 (42:13):
But yeah, so you know, that's how it just worked out.
Speaker 12 (42:17):
I guess it was just meant to be because everything
that could could go wrong didn't, and everything that went
right went better than right, you know.
Speaker 9 (42:25):
So it was just a real blessing to have it
turn out the way that it did.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Absolutely, and the blessings, yeah, well, the blessings keep coming
for you.
Speaker 9 (42:35):
Yeah. The Miami Film Festival is a big deal.
Speaker 12 (42:37):
I got credit Breaking Glass for that because they had
already had all their films selected months in advance, and
Breaking Glass got them to take a look at our
film being filmed in Miami and stuff, and they added
us to the opening night and gave us the Kubek
Theater in which to do a co opening night. And
if you know about film festivals and something as prominent
as the Miami Film Festival, the opening night films and
(43:00):
the closing night film.
Speaker 9 (43:00):
They're a real big deal. So that was a big
feather in our hat.
Speaker 12 (43:04):
And to be able to open sold out at the
Miami Film Festival and then, you know, three weeks later,
get released and it's doing very well.
Speaker 9 (43:13):
So it's it's on its path.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Now mm and the blessings keep coming. I a little
Bertie told me that this is not this is just
beginning for you, and you have some exciting things coming
up with pilots.
Speaker 12 (43:24):
Yeah, you know, I'm gonna be working again with Breaking
Glasses and Enrich. They're great in their team, and we're
forming a producing partnership and we're putting together projects that
are pilots fully you know, already filmed everything done so
that they can go into pitch meetings with you know,
streamers like Paramount and HBO, Netflix, Showtime and be able
(43:47):
to say, hey, look this guy and his team are
producing pilots much in the way Taylor Sheridan has Paramount Lockdown,
you know with all those hits that he comes out with.
We want to have a content deal where we're producing
films and series for a network. That's the goal that
I've had since I started in this business, and I'm
(44:07):
really getting close to it now. So we finished our
first two pilots because Silent Partners, if you remember, I
told you it was a pilot, so we will be
shopping that pilot because it's still filmed as a pilot.
Speaker 9 (44:18):
So the movie's out.
Speaker 12 (44:19):
We have a pilot that has a completely different course
going on. And then we have a comedy called The
Cherry Picker, which is about a.
Speaker 9 (44:27):
Hollywood you know, a talent who goes around and I.
Speaker 12 (44:31):
Guess, cherry picking other people's ideas, and because he has
the money and the power and the connections, he turns
them into big hits.
Speaker 9 (44:37):
You know. He'll go pill for something off.
Speaker 12 (44:39):
Of YouTube, pill for an idea off of here and there,
and then creates a big story. So he gets called
on the carpet by one of the guys that he
stole the idea from.
Speaker 9 (44:47):
So that's pretty funny comedy.
Speaker 12 (44:49):
And then we have Burning Bridges, which is my foray
into the WWE type wrestling world. I played a character
called Jack Stacks, and you know, he's a thinking like
hul Cogan.
Speaker 9 (45:03):
You know, he's ten years past his prime. He's out
of the.
Speaker 12 (45:05):
Game, and all the money and all the fame and
all the riches are now starting to catch up to him.
Speaker 9 (45:09):
He was a bad guy his whole life.
Speaker 12 (45:10):
He's the worst guy on the street, and you know,
he just wants to be the best bad guy there
ever was. So he comes up with this diabolical plan
to get back in the ring because his partner is
now getting elected to the Hall of Fame and he's not,
and he's not happy about that.
Speaker 9 (45:24):
So, you know, it's a.
Speaker 12 (45:26):
Dark comedy, you know, with a melancholy center about a
guy just trying to find his way and be the
best bad guy that he can. And then the last
one is called him King, and it's basically a XCIA
Black Ops operative who gets set up by an Iranian
terrorist organization. They set him up by killing his family,
(45:47):
his wife, his four kids, and they make it look
like him. So he's on death row and the government
comes to him and offers him an opportunity to not
clear his name because as far as the records are
going to show, he's dies on death row, but he's
going to actually be free to go after the very
terrorist network that set him up, and you know, he's.
Speaker 9 (46:07):
Going to be operating as a ghost and hunting at will.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
Wow, you have some exciting things coming. How do you
keep it all straight? I mean that is a lot
of different ideas and they're all fully formed, wonderful ideas.
How do you keep your brain straight?
Speaker 12 (46:24):
Yeah, you know, like my partners and stuff, they'll they'll
always be like.
Speaker 9 (46:27):
Hey, let's just you know, deal with this one right now.
Speaker 12 (46:30):
And I'll be like, yeah, but this and this, And
I'm always pushing, you know, because I guess I just
work on a faster scale than everybody else.
Speaker 9 (46:36):
I don't really know, but you know, my guys tend
to keep up with me.
Speaker 12 (46:39):
We get things out and it's no easy task to
do that, you know, but we're doing it.
Speaker 9 (46:45):
So I don't really know how I keep it on straight.
I just do it, you know. I don't really think
about it.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I love it.
Speaker 9 (46:50):
