MILLION CALORIE MARCH (2007)How Far Would you go for a cause you believe in? MILLION CALORIE MARCH, Marino's film about his 1200 mile fundraiser and awareness campaign, picks up where "Supersize Me" left off - educating and inspiring the public on America's Obesity Epidemic while exploring such issues as food addiction, portion sizes, the weight loss industry, child obesity, discrimination, depression, Sleep Apnea, relapse, the links with alcoholism and much, much more. But this film is more of a personal journey… Through flashbacks to Marino's childhood, viewers will see the influences that lead to obesity and the battle to overcome food addiction. They will witness what it's like to lose nearly 150 pounds the old-fashioned way - and lead a first of it's kind, one-man crusade up the eastern seaboard of the U.S. to help battle obesity. This humorous and inspirational documentary will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you almost eat! But it will also make you think about why so many kids and adults are struggling with obesity and empower you to find ways to help them with the fight. Anyone who has ever struggled to overcome personal obstacles will be inspired by this engaging man's willingness to laugh at himself and bare his soul. Featuring commentary by Dr. Howard Rankin, author of "Inspired To Lose" and based on the 2005 book "Big & Tall Chronicles: MisAdventures Of A Lifelong Food Addict" by Gary Michael Marino.

The Center is an autobiographical sitcom about comedian Matty Blake's days as a counselor at an inner-city center for troubled teens in Boston in the early 1990's, and is currently being shopped to major studios in LA and NYC.. A "dramedy," The Center was shot in August 2002, directed by David Horgan, producer of music videos for Extreme and Mark Wahlberg as well as Will Smith's Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Network and studio interest in The Center has been growing steadily. In 2003, Matty was invited by producer Andre Barnwell to perform The Center concept live in Hollywood, as part of the "Loose Gravel" showcase. As a result, Matty and Gary are currently pitching The Center to the WB network. |
