REDDITDavid Spaltro is a first time director and he has recently finished his first full length feature film “Around.” It is the story of Doyle Simms who moves to NYC to fulfill his dreams only to find the harsh realities of trying to make it in the big city. I had the pleasure of watching this movie and you can see my snap video review of the movie “Around” here.
David has been working hard at this project and is working on moving forward with it in the 09 film festivals. David spent a few minutes answering some questions I had for him about the movie and his direction.
Here is a quick interview with David Spaltro, director of Around:

What inspired you to become a director?
I think I’ve always just been interested in story-telling and dabbled in art, writing, acting and it all sort of just came together. Though getting into a story and writing is great, a joy for me, I wouldn’t be nearly as happy sitting at a word processor by myself rather than collaborating on set with the DP and actors.
Did you base your directorial style off of someone?
Who are your influences?
What are your plans for the future with Around?
What were some of the biggest challenges with making your first feature film?
Money and time on the budget we had, also running into post-trouble after being screwed by our original sound guy. I ‘d say anything that can go wrong usually does worse, but I was blessed to be supported and surrounded by a great group of people including the actors Rob Evans, Molly Ryman and Marcel Torres; Lee Gillentine, Nick Boris as the producers, Grant DeSimone as our amazing AD, April Cary who took charge of all the wardrobe, Mako who made everyone beautiful with make-up, and many many more. Whatever happened they supported and got us over the obstacles. I wouldn’t hav a film without them.
Here is a review of “Around” from Fox News Entertainment.

Kyle’s last blog post..You Know What’s Annoying?
@Kyle I have not met David in person although have had multiple conversations through email with him. He’s a good guy and it was a good movie. I wish him and his team the best of luck, and hopefully it will be in theaters soon for you and everyone to see, I really think it can make it.
