Former KC Chiefs All Pro and 2004 Pro Football nominee, Nick Lowery, Takes Part in Marco Santiago’s ‘Diablita’ from Volarefilms LLC
Former NFL great, Nick Lowery, joins Marco Santiago’s high-energy action/comedy film from Volarefilms. The film is Marco’s surrealistic and twisted take on the Hollywood development process, which he lampoons in “Diablita”.
(PRWEB) May 20, 2005 -- Directed and executive produced by award winning
filmmaker Marco Santiago (El Trafico, Once Upon a Time in the Desert, Into the
Border), and with an anticipated production start date of May 21, “Diablita”
will be shot as a 35mm short film project.
“Nick Lowery brings a lively
sense of humor to the project.” says Marco. “Although this is his first film
role, I feel that Mr. Lowery will bring the right sensitivity and humor to this
project.” Marco Continues. A 7-time All Pro place kicker for the Kansas City
Chiefs from 1980 to the mid 1990’s, Nick Lowery was a Preliminary Nominee to the
2004 Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Nick Lowery currently hosts ESPN’s
Headgames Radio (www.HeadgamesRadio.com), and is the founder of Native Vision
and Nation Building for Native Youth, two nationally recognized leadership
programs. He was a guest star on HBO’s “First and Ten”. “I’m very excited to
have Mr. Lowery on board this project.” Says Marco.
“Diablita”, Spanish
for She Devil, is a satiric and surrealistic lampooning of the Hollywood
development process. The story centers around a screenwriter that meets with two
studio executives, who then proceed to turn the screenwriter’s story into a
Hollywood style rolling gun battle between two hot and sexy females in order to
conform to a commercial marketing strategy. “The story is filled with black
humor and irony.” Says Marco. “The interesting thing about the story is that it
lampoons itself. It is a Hollywood style production, complete with hyper-kinetic
chase sequences, guns, hot women, and fast talking executives. It lampoons
itself by being over the top and absurd. The operative word here is
hyper-realistic.” Marco Continues.
Nick Lowery Joins Jeff Fahey
(Siverado, Wyatt Earp, Lawnmower Man), Amy Weber (Jo Dirt, Son of Beach, Port
Charles), Cathy Rankin (Salina Incident, iTV Sports, NFL Monday Night Football),
Jennifer Pfalzgraff (21 Grams, Dragon Kin), Larry "Tank" Jones (Three Kings, Any
Given Sunday), as well as John Dobradenka, Alex Rodriguez, Erin Del Roso, and
John Manross. Casting was done by Faith Hibbs-Clark of Good Faith Casting, www.faithhibbsclark.com.
