“IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOUNTAIN”
Whenever Lou Del Bianco performed his one man show, people always made the same comment: “This should be a movie”. Lou thought, “Why not?”. After months of reading screenplays, Lou sat down and channeled his 23 years as a storyteller in to a screenplay about the year Luigi took his wife and 3 sons to South Dakota to live while he carved the presidents iconic faces.

Lou is presently shopping his screenplay to different people in the movie industry.
If you have any connections and would like to help create a unique family movie for all ages, please contact Lou Del Bianco.
