The Stolen Guitar (Film)
The Stolen Guitar (Film)
The Stolen Guitar (Film)
A handsome young country singer on a cross-country tour arrives in the small Western Canadian town of Kelowna, BC for a weekend concert.
A young enamored concert-goer rushes to meet him backstage. Her furious, jealous boyfriend exacts revenge for her discretion by stealing the singer's guitar off the stage, at the end of the concert, as the roadies pack the band's gear and instruments. The lead singer's stolen vintage guitar resurfaces 25 years later, and he buys it, setting up a love triangle the young woman, who is now an older, wiser woman, never saw coming!
The role of young woman has not been cast yet, as this is a co-lead role for this film.
The woman who originally met the singer backstage will be played by a seasoned film and TV star and singer.
The Stolen Guitar will be filmed in in Kelowna, BC, at the OK Corral Cabaret, and other locations.
One Million Steps (Film)
The Stolen Guitar (Film)
The Stolen Guitar (Film)
A husband discovers he no longer controls his destiny, let alone the 25-year marriage to his wife, due to her betrayal with another man, and her lies about it. Through daily walking, biking, meditation, music, and counseling he discovers ways to heal his soul from the events he endured in the last year of his marriage.
This movie is NOT a revenge film, but rather a healing film, with far more focus on the healing steps needed to get the husband's body and mind around the idea of living alone, without his wife.
Much of the movie is set to music, which was vital in the healing process.
The film is based upon a true story, and the lead actors have been chosen.
To be filmed in Kelowna, BC, Canada in 2024.
The film is similar to the film Marriage Story, (featuring Adam Driver and Scarlet Johansson).
See the trailer.

As Frederick explores the garden to film and photograph the birds, bees, flowers, and insects he realizes he is being watched! The staff and doctors keep a keen eye on Frederick and the other patients who join him, both day and night. They soon realize there is far more to the garden than just flowers! To be filmed in 35mm with Arriflex BL movie cameras, Kodak film stock, and vintage Cooke Speed Panchro lenses. Photography, music, laughter, and comedy stimulate and heal the brain in ways medicine can't. A high-concept-low-budget film! Product placement, investment and sponsorship opportunities available.
