BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

I am raising the funds to be able to pay for the production (filming) and post-production (editing) of the show. Once enough money is raised production will begin almost immediately. So far we've funded everything ourselves and have only been able to pay for and shoot and edit enough footage to make a sizzle reel or pilot episode. We still need to film and edit a lot more for what we have so far in addition to making more episodes.

This is a project very near and dear to my heart. My family and I are very eager to share our lives and experiences with others and bring everyone along for the ride. I'm hoping that people will not only be entertained by the show, but that they'll also be inspired by it and be able to relate to it as well. Whether it be the following your dreams aspect of the show, the overcoming challenges together as a family aspect of the show, or even just the crazy and hilarious situations that happen on the show; there's something here for everyone to enjoy. Each one of us in the family have very distinct personalities, but we also all share things in common. There is never a dull moment in our lives and very interesting and entertaining things happen all the time; some of them funny, some of them heartfelt, and some of them dramatic. This is a great opportunity to show the world what a great wholesome Italian American family looks like.
