MARCH 3, 2010 - Berry Pond Productions, in association with Verité Films is proud to announce the Los Angeles screening of Allen Cognata's independent film The Putt Putt Syndrome on March 11, 2010 at the Majestic Crest Theater in Westwood.
The film which was recently screened at the Tribeca Cinemas in New York City has made its way to L.A. with its eclectic cast of actors such as Jason London from cult film “Dazed and Confused” to iconic “Baywatch” star David Chokachi and soap opera star Heather Tom from CBS’s “The Bold and the Beautiful” as well as Thea Gill from the popular gay themed TV series “Queer As Folk.” Robert Maschio from ABC’s “Scrubs” and actor Paul Diomede from independent film “The Messenger” are also part of the cast.
The Putt Putt Syndrome follows the life of two married men as they “Putt Putt” through their lives when they begin to realize their perceptions of suburban marital bliss is not as idyllic as it seems.
The main character Johnny, played brilliantly by Jason London, goes through an absurd journey of paranoia after his best friend, Tony (David Chokachi) Plants the seed of doubt about the rise in married women's infidelities. The result is an entertaining, witty and offbeat film about two couples trying to understand what has gone wrong in their relationships. The film, a dark, sexy comedy much in the vain of “American Beauty” is a profound commentary on the dangers of becoming complacent in married life. Thea Gill and Heather Tom play the bored, distraught and confused housewives.
The Film was shot in true independent nature in Cognata’s hometown of Winthrop, Maine. Locals there came together by offering their homes, businesses and volunteer services to make his dream a reality. "In retrospect, we were up against some formidable odds. It rained 15 out of 18 shooting days, the average age of our PA's was 15 and it was my directorial debut. Not to mention our budget of 200,000! I couldn't be more pleased with the team. My fellow producers Donald Roman Lopez and René Veilleux did a wonderful job bringing an independent Hollywood feel to our grassroots indie" Cognata added.
While many independent projects wallow through the post-production process, or are often never completed, The Putt Putt Syndrome’s post-production team quickly ushered the film through its final stages to completion less than 7 months after wrapping of principal photography. The film is being submitted to festivals and producers are now working on the distribution plan.
