BOXedMAN: I'm Going To Make A Movie - Why Are You Laughing? (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9784824101297)

"BoxedMan - I'm gonna make a movie, why are you laughing?" is the story of Nicholas Pasyanos's declaration, commitment and eventual completion of this improbably farfetched journey.

The Walter Mitty that lives in us all taunts us throughout our lives to do something out of reach, and it is oh-so tempting. Nicholas succumbed to the siren call and jumped into the deep end of the pool, with the expectation he would learn to swim in the process.

This journey could be attributed to mid-life crisis, dreamer thinking or insanity onset; take your pick. Nicholas heard all of these theories as he shared his desire with friends. With the help of divine grace, countless blessings, mini-miracles, inexplicable random occurrences, and the aid of an Academy Award winning editor, his film was completed.

Then, the reality struck of entering countless film festivals, acceptance to some, and rejections from most, which is how it goes. But hey, how many people can claim an official rejection letter from the Cannes Film Festival?

Beyond the self-deprecating, casual narrative, BoxedMan is an entertaining, inspirational and informative story of the journey that is making a movie.
