Film Review
By Rebecca Topping Janelli

Steven! How incredible! I am not surprised however! The message of your film is an urgent as well as poignant one. Flora, fauna, winged spirits, animals and humans are acutely impacted by it. No one being is exempt. The viewer however, transfixed by the visuals, is moved by your music, it floods their souls with the enormity of it all. It makes the problem keenly felt. Those feelings will turn into cries for action. Only you could do this Steven. I feel so lucky to be living in The Age of Vitali.
Congratulations.

Experience the Salton Sea as never before with a compelling soundtrack in its own right by chart topping, and award winning Hollywood composer, arranger Steven Vitali. This documentary features many important interviews with extraordinary and inspiring people.

Directed by Steven Vitali, this feature length documentary film supports the Salton Sea by showing the beauty and the life that surrounds it. From the Pacific Coast, to the town of El Centro, California, near the U.S - Mexico border this film delivers to the viewers in epic proportions footage and interviews that are breathtaking, heartfelt and full of life.



This film was made for many reasons and that the Salton Sea is a special place of our planet earth and it seems very natural that it exists and that through our findings we hope to show the world why we need to preserve what is here in California for a lifetime.

The narrative is what makes this documentary a terrific documentary. We hope that the audience at both an emotional and an analytical level will be drawn into our story.

Our host brings an epic tale and in epic proportions to the viewers and it represents that of brave wings.  We have diverse voices and experiences, inspiring storytelling, the director is up and coming and full of energy and we hope that this film can energize and impassion audiences around the world through its inspiration and hard value.

 

The soundtrack was written by Steven Vitali, who has been represented by Warner/Chappell Music Publishing, Captiol Records, and Sony Music in one way or form. He is an award winning composer and arranger of Italian, French and German descent, who now lives in California.  It took him six months in the studio to record the original soundtrack that strengthens the movie and epically sets the tone in the movie.

Our narrator and who also makes a star appearance in our film is Hollywood Actor Michael Madsen who is known around the world. Michael Madsen's long career spans nearly 40 years and more than 170 films in which he has played memorable characters in myriad box office hits, including: Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003), Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) Sin City (2005), Hell Ride (2008), Die Another Day (2002), Donnie Brasco (1997), Species (1995), The Getaway (1994), Thelma & Louise (1991), and Free Willy (1993). Michael is notably recognized for his role as Mr. Blonde, in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992).


 

Michael Madsen was also just recently in the movie, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. His voice is very distinctive and he was cast for this film also because of his character roles in the movies Free Willy.

While making this film, we spared no cost, from getting helicopters, underwater cameras, to acquiring the right shot, to acquiring a known seasoned Hollywood star. This is a well edited film with some interesting characters who help tell the story, in addition to taking the time to display the effects of for example, the water level dropping.

Each person gives our story a unique quality and emphasis. And we went to lengths to secure them. We met with scientists, biologists, politicians, to pull together a story that could benefit not only Californians but our world. And it is a story that poses more questions than the one that offers the answers. Which we believe will help shape the success of a movie like ours.

 Along with an incredible archival cast that includes, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carrie Fisher, Clint Eastwood, The Beach Boys, Sonny Bono, Sonny & Cher, Dean Martin, Frank Capra, Harrison Ford, Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Liberace, Barak Obama, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald & Nancy Reagan, Jerry Lewis, and others.

We have rights to all celebrities  in our film and in perpetuity and in all media forms, that means that you can even use them in your marketing and packaging.
