Introduction and Summary

Hello Everyone!

invite you to join us in bringing a new and exciting screenplay to life. Before I tell you about the production, allow me to tell you a little about our leading team.

I am Brooke Grondin.  A multi-international award winning screenwriter with awards from Europe to India to Hong Kong (and many more worldwide), actress, producer and former talent agent from Standish, Maine. I will be portraying the role of Ashley, as well as directing (along with assistant director, Jeremy Lunt who has been making films for several decades in both Hollywood and here in Maine, where he is the owner of Gemini Entertainment.  

My leading male actor is Gabriel Regueira. An actor from Mexico who has been acting and involved in the entertainment industry since he was eight years old. He is best known for his celebrity impersonation of Mr. Johnny Depp. He is known as Johnny Depp Mexicano through which he has gained much prominence. He has a very large and dedicated following worldwide. 

My assistant director and distributor is Jeremy Lunt. He is the owner of Gemini Entertainment here in Maine. He is from Mount Desert Island and has worked directly inside Hollywood for many years as well as spent several years at the Cannes film Festival trading films in the red door room outback of the red carpet. Our film will be distributed through Gemini Entertainment, which he owns.

We all have connections that we will bring onboard once we have received funding. Including our fellow members of The Maine Film Association for cinematography, lighting, sound, extras and more. That budget is estimated at $75,000 – minimum. Our minimum budget can be seen on our website listed below.

For musicians who are ready to make music for our production, we have Scott Page, the saxophonist and rhythm guitar for Pink Floyd and Toto, Matt Starr, an American drummer who played for Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Mr. Big, Mr. Johnny Depp and many more throughout his career. It is note worthy to say he currently coaches people on how to succeed in the entertainment industry. These are some of the musicians I have contact with, who have told me directly via phone conversations as well as social media where they are my followers, that they will make music for my productions when it’s time. I also have musicians local and worldwide including known composers ready to work. 

About this incredible film we are inviting you to join us in. 

“Don Juan: The Lost Diary” is an erotic, romance, drama feature film that is unlike any other tale that has ever been told of this classic. With a modern day setting and a provocative new twist on the legendary tale, we bring the viewer into a lifestyle brought into Armando’s life by a chance meeting, where he becomes a prominent lover to many women inside these hidden circles. Later in life, he is now telling his story to a woman he is finding himself slowly falling in love with. This is a story about true love and redemption.

Here is a complete logline for our film:

LOGLINE:

 When Armando, a well-to-do CEO of an oil company with a playboy past, meets Ashley, a down on her luck ex-writer, he offers her room and board in exchange for one thing. That she write his story.

In a provocative new twist on the legendary tale, Armando recounts his steamy escapades as Don Juan to Ashley.

As the two spend night after night together, a spark begins to ignite between them, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. As their bond deepens, a spark ignites between them, bringing his deepest desires into real time. But when a hidden danger lying in the wings threatens to destroy all that Armando has grown to be protective of, he realizes he cares more than he thought he did for the one thing that might be his only hope for redemption of his past.
