(Newswire.net — November 5, 2015) Encino, CA — Michael Doven’s guidance and experience as CEO and owner of the United Pictures Group helped facilitate this unique movie production directed by Travis Mills, who  guides the entire cast into excellence with its production and distribution elements.

The cast will keep you riveted to your seat with acclaimed Tom Sizemore as Jack, Michelle Stafford as Suzie, Peter Bogdanovich as George, and Jon Gries as Dizzy Dean. The filming takes place at Grants Restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona. Jack is proclaimed as a stand-up kind of guy with his love interest Suzie. His mafia interest will remain a mystery.

The production covers just one day at his restaurant. He is deemed as a ladies’ man and a mysterious gentleman. He left the Tennessee backwoods and entered the dynamic world of Vegas. The time of Bugsy is portrayed as the drama began and ending with his ownership in his famous steakhouse. He is powerful, charming, and extremely dangerous.

This bang ’em up drama, money, blowing up cars, and sizzling women will have you captivated from its opening scenes. The pistol swinging Suzie is a great compliment to Jack in his blood chilling and high dealing stakes with mafia influences. Durant is an out-of-town power broker and owner of the restaurant. Many say he loves his drink and job more than his wife. Only time will tell!

The setup is fabulous as a replica of the restaurant. You will never know it is a set with its fantastic setting. The filming took place in April 2015. You are there with each scene as it reveals superb acting skills.

Tom Sizemore, Jack, appeared in Saving Private Ryan, Heat, and Natural Born Killer. He also appeared on popular shows including Hawaii Five-O, CSI: Miami, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and the upcoming The Red Road on the Sundance Channel.

Michelle Stafford, Suzie, is well-known for her roles in films including Double Jeopardy and Parker. She is also a plus on The Young and Restless and General Hospital.

Peter Bogdanovich, George, is a well-respected producer and director in films classics including What’s up Doc, Paper Moon, and The Last Picture Show. His reoccurring roles in Law & Order and The Sopranos brought more notable camera drama.

Jon Gries, Dizzy Dean, is a super radio personality and famous baseball player. He has had reoccurring roles in the Taken movies and his iconic role in Napoleon Dynamite as Uncle Rico. He is a close friend to Jack Durant.
