Dennis Jeantet and John Giordano are Philadelphia film-makers who’ve come together in collaboration to create this heart-felt comedy; “Another Man’s Trash”. What is special about this piece, is the positive spin it brings to an epidemic seen by not only the city of Philadelphia, but all cities nation wide. It is the mission of the film-makers and the production team alike to bring awareness to a cause, make people feel good, and actually quite literally help those in need. It is our effort to raise money for the film and a charity of our choice in our great city of Philadelphia. 

We will provide 10% of all funds raised directly to charity. Please help us tell our story and provide comfort for the less fortunate.

2020 Philadelphia homeless and hunger statistics: 

• About 5,700 are considered to be homeless in the city, which includes about 950 who are unsheltered.
• $10 donated to the charity = 20 meals provided to those in need. 
• More than 700,000 people in our area face hunger.
• More than 15,000 volunteers last year in the Philadelphia area. 
• 40% of all food in the U.S. goes to waste.

Other ways you can help: We completely understand that for a lot of you, money is tight and you cannot contribute. At the very least, we would appreciate it if you could share this campaign with friends and family on social media! 

Dennis Jeantet and John Giordano met at their local acting studio; Playhouse West of Philadelphia. Here, the two sharpened their talents both in front and behind the camera.

It quickly became apparent to Dennis and John that they shared similar tastes in comedy. 80s classics from the likes of Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, Eddie Murphy, John Candy, and last but certainly not least Chevy Chase.

When an idea sparked Dennis to write a story about two men in seemingly polar opposite life situations, yet sharing similar internal struggles, he quickly got to work on the first draft. It only made sense for him to look to his creative counterpart, John, to help develop the story further and ultimately play the role opposite him.

Through diligent effort, the pair of writers spent time nurturing the script to what it is today. 

It is Dennis’ and John’s pleasure to present the short film “Another Man’s Trash”; a heartfelt comedy with influences from their all-time favorites.

A successful yet embittered business man in Philadelphia comes to terms with his personal issues when he crosses paths with a talented down-on-his-luck homeless man.

Life can be a story and ups and downs. Another Man’s Trash, a heartfelt comedy follows a day in the life of Theodore Fuoco, a rising star in his own mind who struggles with the emptiness his success never seems to fill. On this karma filled day, Theodore routinely taunts a former celebrity-chef, turned homeless man, Redmond Bale; who lost it all after accidentally poisoning the president. In contrasting stages of their lives, they come together through desperation to tell a story of redemption and change of heart.

A very special announcement about our director will be coming shortly! Please check back!
