Based on the success of SNAKE FEED, the screenplay for DOWN TO THE BONE was work-shopped at the prestigious Sundance Institute and is now gearing up for production.

The production company, Aisle 10 Prouctions from Manhattan, is excited to be able to come back to Ulster County to make the feature film and hopes to work with the local community throughout the production of DOWN TO THE BONE.

Here she is explaining to resident, Jesse Thomas Maucher, age 20, about his part requirements. Each actor was given "sides", which are the lines of their part to study and then they went into the front of the theatre lobby to be interviewed and filmed.

One resident, not identified, is seen here with the director on the left, Debra and the Producer, Anne Rosellini, both from Aisle 10 Productions.
