I'm in pre-production on my next film.
The film is called "Fix", and it's based on an extraordinary true and personal story. It's about brothers. It's about drugs. It's about love. It's about Los Angeles. It's a road movie, a documentary, a drama and a comedy. The treatment is posted below.Fix

Story by Tao Ruspoli and Paul Duran

Filmmaker’s note: This film is based partly on real events and real people and will be shot entirely first person by the actors in the film using a variety of hi-def, digital and video formats. The filmmakers are the characters in this hybrid narrative/documentary and the finished film will reflect their personal journey with stylized editing, music and direct interviews with the people in the film, all encompassing a single 24-hour period.
This film is the first road movie shot all in one city (Los Angeles, a microcosm of our post-world, is one of the stars of the film, and Leo is a modern day Odysseus, traversing its multiple worlds)

Dear Tao;
I would really love to contribute, but I don't have my own credit card and I don't enjoy using paypal/sending money online.
is there some sort of mailing address that we can send money to, instead?
please email me if there is:
uncommon_emotive@hotmail.com
thank you.
i would love to help.
Cool idea - sounds similar to Spike Lee's 25th Hour with a Tao twist. You could possibly raise money quicker by giving larger donors a stand-in or cameo spot in the movie.
or do an ebay auction with the same idea....
Another idea! How about creating an entire film by casting all the characters using Ebay to bid for each role - that would be a TRIP and you could get great publicity if you did it right!!!
It is illegal by sag rules to auction off roles or let actors pay to be in a film. If I am going to use Olivia and any sag actors, I can't give people roles in exchange for anything.
could you send like a money order or hide cash in a card or something?
As im in the uk.
you can mail checks to

Hi Tao,
This sounds like an amazing idea and to me anything with Olivia in it will be amazing.. So as soon as I can I will make a donation however I can.
Also.. I love the photographs you have used to tell your story.. and the film sounds like it is going ot be really interesting.
I hope you make your target by 07 because I would really love to see the final outcome.
Best of luck all the way from Australia.
