SANTA MONICA – DI studio Local Hero Post is producing its first feature film, Remember You. Principal photography begins February 19 in Los Angeles.
Local Hero (www.localheropost.com) has over 60 feature post credits, which include director Jason Moore’s Pitch Perfect, director Travis Fine’s Any Day Now
, director Tom Elkins’ Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts Of Georgia, and has done the full post and DI for features from Universal Pictures and Lionsgate Films, among many others.
I Remember You is being executive produced by Leandro Marini (pictured, right), founder/head of imaging/supervising colorist at Local Hero Post, and another owner of Local Hero Post, James Cotten, who also owns of Dark Highway Films. Cotten, who most recently produced Hansel And Gretel Get Baked, distributed through Tribeca Films, was also director of The Line, starring Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta; director/screenwriter/producer of Sugar Creek; screenwriter/producer of Resurrection County; and executive producer of The Devil’s Carnival and Madison County.
Claudia Sparrow (pictured below doing a camera test with DP DP Kristoffer Carrillo) is the director and writer of the original screenplay for I Remember You. Sparrow is an AFI graduate, winner of a student Emmy award, and winner of the Franklin J. Schaffner Fellow Award for her direction of the short film El Americano.
“One of our dreams for Local Hero was always to eventually produce our own content,” says Leandro Marini. “Since we now have a large set of resources that we can bring to our own productions, we felt that it was time to pull the trigger. We developed I Remember You specifically to take advantage of our considerable digital cinema, VFX and delivery experience.”
