My first horror movie in 1989 shot in Florida by an Italian film company, originally titled Witch Story or in Italian, La Strega….The director shot the whole movie in sequence which was quite costly, but the lighting was very good. The director smoked several packs of cigarettes a day which were were quite stinky…. Italian crew yelling at each other about technical issues, but they got it together to finish the film…One of the actors’s father was a famous Italian actor who starred in the Spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood…and talk about a blast from the past, the scene I’m in HERE with the actor near the end of the film, is now one of my agents here in New York! Go figure….
