From the Passion of Paul DeFonte
Paul wrote his first screenplay, The Wishers, as a result of several ideas he had for a regional film festival. One idea inspired him, and he set to put it on paper. A year later, he completed his six episode screenplay for the The Wishers, and he created story lines for two years worth of episodes.
Filming of the first three episodes is set to be complete by the end of April of 2027. From there, it’s on to post production, which is scheduled to be completed by January June of 2027. From there, The Wishers will be released on the web, submitted to streaming services, distribution channels and film festivals.
His vision of “Bringing Your Stories to Life” comes from his passion of “Storytelling with Film” as an actor, screenwriter or director.
