Eugene Pistilli - Former Child Star

minkster · Post by **minkster** » Sat May 17, 2008 7:46 am

So I made a new movie for a Creative Writing class. My friends wanted me to help them and offered me $50 to film, direct, and shoot.

Fortunately, they got their money's worth.

Don't forget to click part two!

Tell me what you think...it's the 2nd movie I have ever made.

Didn't have time to watch it all but the filming and acting seem really good.

wow.. You do know eugene Pistilli is real person right? He's my great uncle. He wasn't a child star. He was just a regular star.

He released a few ablums with a group, wrote a few famous songs, and has a few solo albums.

Was it based off of him? Or was the name just randomly made up.. Because Eugene Pistilli isn't exactly the most common thing ever.

no..it must be a complete cooincidence. the real Eugene Pistilli plays the coach in the movie. He has black curly hair..you will see him in the beginning of part two (he trains the "Eugene" in the movie)

Its actually a little complicated. The person who plays the character Eugene Pistilli is named Chris Intili. And the person who plays the coach is named Chris Intili in the movie, but his real name is Eugene Pistilli (basically they just switched their real names...long story

)

Oh. I gotcha.

has anyone watched it fully through?

I know 14 mins is a long time for youtubes sake..but someone just someone humor me!

At least watch part 2, there is a crazy coach, training montage, and fighting scene. Basically part 2 leads up to the climax where all the good juicy stuff is.

If you watch the whole thing, I'll give you a cookie

I watched it all, good twist at the end. I liked this line "NO MILK!?"

Now do I get my cookie!

Fight to the death. Be there.

So random, but awesome.

I hafta say, next time let him drink some actual alcohol, he's really not a good drunk.

hahaha but if we did, he would slur and forget his lines..oh wait damn..that would have made a good drunk!

half way through we ran out of real alcohol and filled it up with vinegar
