Happy Easter to all of the www.fest21.com patrons and members. May the glory of Easter be with you all. I am writting this announcement to say that Frank Sinatra Jr., Wayne Newton and Dianna Ross have not gotten back to our booking agent, as of yet. A movie takes 90 days to set up completely, in UpState New York. If the Stars whoI wish to appear, don't get in touch with Tony Cee Associates soon, I will have to postpone the flick. I am setting up the Saratoga Film Festival now, and that is easy. ...

I have beaten myself up all week long. Do I want a known actresses or actresses? Do I want older Diva's and good Broadway actors (we are in New York) or do I just want good looking people with acting ability. I have chosen both. Wayne Newton's manager has had a chat with Tony Cee. We will wait on that! Diana Ross will be courted and loved. But, I need great looking girls with talent. I was watshing T.V. the other night and tuned in the WWE. The action was good and a few of the girls were so ver...

The conversation this week between myself, Tony Cee, and female representative Frankie Spagnolo of First Sight is, can we convince Diana Ross to act again. Ms. Ross is one of the finest personalities on stage but does live a quite life. I have asked Tony Cee to explore a percentage deal with Ms Ross and Wayne Newton. We did make contact with Ms. Kim Kardashian this week ,but due to the disarray of her representation, we could not get any straight talk. Ms Kardashian has never acted but wears clo...

I have decided to stay with my old friend of 40 years Tont Cee, in Utica, New York. Tony has been an agent for 42 tears and has booked the best in the business. At the present time, he is in negotiations with Frank Sinatra Jr., and Wayne Newton. Tony has booked Wayne Newton before and knows him. We are confident that Tony will make the right moves as the general agent of the movie. Other agents may work with us, but they will and must go to Tony Cee Associates for the direct negotiations. We fee...

On February 15th, 2009, Mr. Eric Kaufman of Premier Sports and Entertainment in Santa Monica, California emailed a polite NO answer, to our request for the services of Laila Ali in August 2009, in Saratoga, N.Y. I was personally very saddened, but the note was polite ,and stated that she had other committments. You win some and some you loose. I will always be a fan of Ms Ali and believe she is a beautiful woman. We had offered her a 6 figure salary and a small percentage of the film. We shall c...

One of the greatest actors of all times is Ernest Borgnine. He was the best heavy of his time. A man who is decended from Italian royality, and an academy award winner, is going to be welcomed to our film, if he so wishes.   His part can not be discussed now for negotiations have just started for Laila Ali, Wayne Newton, Frank Sinatra Jr. and now Ernest Borgnine. I realize that Mr. Borgnine is 90 years old, but if he is willing, and his health is fine, he is welcome to join o...

It is back to Las Vegas for me, at the present time. I am busting my backside to get this film underway. I have a part for Wayne Newton , as a crew member from my past! I do not want him to sing any of his hits. I really want him to act, in a way I personally believe, he can! I will continually update Fest21 members and guests on the movie's progress. I am still waiting for Premier Sports to get back to us on Laila Ali. It has only been one week, and I know she has a new baby. I hope she and h...
