RSSVinnie Curto Is Fed Up With Hollywood, But Gets A “Break”

It never gave him break, like nine million folk before him. Let’s talk about this little thing which makes him different from all the rest - a script? Welcome to the millions who came to this state and city who’ve attempted. But guess what? One day, he knocked on one of the hundred doors he found by looking up under “production company” lists that week, and started conversing with one of the gentlemen. Vinnie gave that gentleman his script typed on paper one finger at a time, with no apparent script structure, but somehow got its point across.
He used to be a real gentlemen, this Greg Gold. He was kind and declared that he would read it and get back to him if he it had any merit. Vinnie got up to leave seemingly frustrated and a bit sad. Greg asked him if he would explain as briefly as feasible what the tale comprised. Vinnie needed to tell him that he had enough stories for 10 scripts, but the short version was,” It’s about a viciously abused kid, in each possible way, by his very own dad and mother.
Also, the kid was tortured by his pa, stating that “You are a dummy. I know it and you know it, but if you're Champ of the World before anyone else finds out then it would save me the humiliation of calling you my son.” He then would produce a 38 revolver and put it on the kitchen table and say “If you don't become Champion, you've got to put the gun to my head.” Ever since that point, Vinnie was on a life long trip never to put that or any gun to his head. At the same time, he did not want to win to make his dad right. He eventually won a title, although not until many years after his father passed away.
Greg Gold did call, and recounted to meet him at a coffee shop named Insomnia Caf. Two guys sat there: Barry Primus and some hippie with a beard and blue wool cap who he did not introduce.. Barry expounded that he was fond of the script however it needed a bit more work and said DeNiro loved it. Vinnie seized the script and said” Bobby DeNiro, yeah right!
When he got up to leave, Barry turned to the hippy looking guy and asserted “Bobby tell the kid what you thought” and DeNiro himself said” I'd like to get involved.” DeNiro got Mark Wahlberg interested, and went into production.
Vinnie was even on the film set in Culver Studios watching the teamsters rip down the flick sets because they did not get paid. The financing slipped out and everyone had schedules. Curto used up years doing a great deal of consideration and what he calls, “Karmic payback”, and eventually has a film getting produced, though not this one yet. It’s called LIVING AGAIN, which is what he intends to do now!
