[gentle, somber music]

4
00:00:45,001 --> 00:00:48,048
[Tom] As it's happening, you're
thinking something's wrong,

5
00:00:48,091 --> 00:00:49,788
but you
don't face right up to it

6
00:00:49,832 --> 00:00:51,834
because either you don't care or you don't want to know.

7
00:00:55,577 --> 00:00:59,407
[man] The damage done to
the community and families,

8
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:01,322
it'll last for a generation.

9
00:01:04,238 --> 00:01:06,370
[John Marchese] It was
a great dream.

10
00:01:06,414 --> 00:01:08,198
It was a beautiful dream.

11
00:01:11,332 --> 00:01:13,160
[Richie] I was thinking I was
going to become the next, uh,

12
00:01:13,203 --> 00:01:15,118
I don't know,
Paul Newman or something.

13
00:01:15,162 --> 00:01:17,077
I thought I'd be in the country. I wanted to live like that.

14
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,906
Why? Read my scripts, turned out to be nothing but a disaster.

15
00:01:23,431 --> 00:01:26,521
[Jocelyne] At first, there is
only two sides to the story.

16
00:01:28,131 --> 00:01:30,046
And then
there are so many sides,

17
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:32,092
you don't know where
the truth, where the lies are.

18
00:01:33,484 --> 00:01:35,182
And it's get very confusing.

19
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:38,359
But the truth is somewhere.

20
00:02:24,927 --> 00:02:29,018
[light upbeat rock music]

21
00:02:34,241 --> 00:02:35,677
[engine hums]

22
00:02:41,073 --> 00:02:42,988
[Zac] I grew up in
Narrowsburg, New York.

23
00:02:43,032 --> 00:02:45,252
It 's a very small town
in the upper Delaware.

24
00:02:45,295 --> 00:02:48,994
It 's actually a hamlet
and it's one block long,

25
00:02:49,038 --> 00:02:53,999
post office, bank,
Chinese restaurant, pizza place.

26
00:02:56,263 --> 00:02:58,656
My life sort of
centered around Main Street...

27
00:03:00,571 --> 00:03:03,531
which is nice and also
stifling when you're a kid.

28
00:03:03,574 --> 00:03:05,010
[engine rumbles]

29
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,103
[water rushes]

30
00:03:17,109 --> 00:03:19,590
-[Tom] The car looks nice
in the sun, don't it?
-[Cecilia] Yeah.

31
00:03:19,634 --> 00:03:20,722
[Tom] Nice and bright.

32
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:25,335
[Cecilia] It's
a quaint friendly town.

33
00:03:25,379 --> 00:03:26,815
Where everybody knows everybody.

34
00:03:26,858 --> 00:03:28,208
Everybody knows everybody.

35
00:03:28,251 --> 00:03:29,687
You walk into the coffee shop

36
00:03:29,731 --> 00:03:31,515
and everybody says good morning

37
00:03:31,559 --> 00:03:33,082
whether they know you or not.

38
00:03:36,738 --> 00:03:38,087
If you don't recognize someone,

39
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:39,915
that's the stranger thing

40
00:03:39,958 --> 00:03:41,656
other than what you do.
[chuckles]

-[dark playful music]
-[projector whirs]

42
00:04:02,024 --> 00:04:04,287
[John Marchese] When Richie
and Jocelyne first showed up,

43
00:04:05,157 --> 00:04:08,509
it was like some people
from outer space

44
00:04:08,552 --> 00:04:10,598
had landed in Narrowsburg.

45
00:04:11,642 --> 00:04:12,904
Are you new in town?

46
00:04:13,340 --> 00:04:14,471
[Richie] Could be.

47
00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:18,736
[John Marchese] They were
Hollywood people

48
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:23,001
and they were like these
busy bees of self-promotion

49
00:04:23,045 --> 00:04:25,700
and publicity for themselves.

50
00:04:25,743 --> 00:04:28,093
Hi, how are you? So, my name
is Richard Castellano.

51
00:04:28,137 --> 00:04:29,356
I like this
beautiful woman I'm with.

52
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:30,748
Don't look, huh?

53
00:04:31,706 --> 00:04:33,273
Here's Jocelyne.

54
00:04:34,926 --> 00:04:36,145
-[Richie smooches]
-[Jocelyne giggles]

55
00:04:36,188 --> 00:04:37,407
[Cecilia] I think
I met them first.

56
00:04:37,451 --> 00:04:39,061
They came into the store

57
00:04:39,104 --> 00:04:40,802
and they were
looking to buy a gun.

58
00:04:41,890 --> 00:04:44,284
They talked that they
had just moved up to the area.

59
00:04:44,327 --> 00:04:45,633
They bought a house.

60
00:04:46,198 --> 00:04:48,070
You could tell right
away he was from Brooklyn.

61
00:04:48,113 --> 00:04:51,334
I mean, he had this
real thick New York accent.

62
00:04:51,943 --> 00:04:56,078
[John Marchese] Richie talked
about being a hitman
for the mob.

63
00:04:56,774 --> 00:04:59,299
He would come in
to the Chatterbox Cafe

64
00:04:59,342 --> 00:05:02,780
and it was like he had
purchased the Chatterbox.

65
00:05:02,824 --> 00:05:04,608
He would walk and,
"Hey, how are you doing?

66
00:05:04,652 --> 00:05:06,784
Hey, yo, how is everybody?
How is everybody?" [mumbles]

67
00:05:06,828 --> 00:05:08,699
He would just
get his own coffee.

68
00:05:08,743 --> 00:05:10,353
He wouldn't pay for it.

69
00:05:10,397 --> 00:05:11,963
He would wave to everybody.

70
00:05:12,007 --> 00:05:13,487
And he would walk out.

71
00:05:14,139 --> 00:05:16,490
[Tom] Right away,
he got to know everybody.

72
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:19,536
-He was one of us, you know,
one of the community.
-He was never awkward.

73
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:22,365
It was like he'd
been here all his life.

74
00:05:25,499 --> 00:05:27,327
[upbeat, rhythmic music]

75
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:32,070
The first time I heard
about Richie is like 1998.

76
00:05:32,114 --> 00:05:34,421
I was probably
14 or 15 at the time.

77
00:05:34,464 --> 00:05:36,205
And I remember
hearing that he was going to be

78
00:05:36,248 --> 00:05:37,424
in this movie called
Analyze This

79
00:05:37,467 --> 00:05:38,381
with Robert De Niro.

80
00:05:39,861 --> 00:05:41,602
I watched the screening
and then the lights came up

81
00:05:41,645 --> 00:05:43,299
and there he was standing there.

82
00:05:43,865 --> 00:05:46,215
It was incredible that
he was here in this small town

83
00:05:46,258 --> 00:05:49,784
and there he was, and
I've just seen him in a movie.

84
00:05:49,827 --> 00:05:51,699
[man hums]

85
00:05:51,742 --> 00:05:53,004
[bangs]

86
00:05:54,528 --> 00:05:56,443
-[car trunk thuds]
-What are you,
some kind of moron?

87
00:05:57,008 --> 00:05:59,054
[Zac] It was probably
soon after that
that I heard that

88
00:05:59,097 --> 00:06:00,708
Jocelyne was
going to start a film festival.

89
00:06:00,751 --> 00:06:02,144
That was sort of what she did.

90
00:06:02,187 --> 00:06:04,886
And they had big plans
for Narrowsburg.

91
00:06:05,452 --> 00:06:06,888
They were going
to put it on the map.

92
00:06:14,765 --> 00:06:16,680
[forklift beeps]

93
00:06:18,943 --> 00:06:21,076
Oh, yeah, it was topic
of the conversation, yeah,

94
00:06:21,119 --> 00:06:25,123
properly made the barbershop,
um, post office,
all the big spots, yeah.

95
00:06:25,776 --> 00:06:28,431
Yeah, and it was a big deal
for a small town to,

96
00:06:28,475 --> 00:06:30,128
to have
a legitimate film festival.

97
00:06:33,567 --> 00:06:36,744
This is a nice place to live
but a hard place to
make a living.

98
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:39,790
And most of the people
that make a living here

99
00:06:39,834 --> 00:06:43,664
have two or three jobs or drive
40, 50 miles one way to work.

100
00:06:45,709 --> 00:06:48,495
We saw what happened
in Sundance and other places

101
00:06:48,538 --> 00:06:50,758
that had film festivals
and we thought,

102
00:06:50,801 --> 00:06:52,324
you know, why not here?

103
00:06:52,368 --> 00:06:54,936
I wanted to be an actor.
That was sort of my deal.

104
00:06:54,979 --> 00:06:57,504
And here I am growing up
in this super small town,

105
00:06:57,547 --> 00:06:59,114
this guy comes,

106
00:06:59,157 --> 00:07:00,855
what are the chances
that this is happening?

107
00:07:00,898 --> 00:07:03,292
Like, this is crazy,
like, this is my big break.

108
00:07:12,475 --> 00:07:14,085
I remember Richie and Jocelyne

109
00:07:14,129 --> 00:07:16,174
came to my mom's house
for dinner.

110
00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:18,655
They got there and I remember,

111
00:07:18,699 --> 00:07:21,310
I remember
looking out the driveway,

112
00:07:21,353 --> 00:07:22,659
"They're here,
they're here, they're here!"

113
00:07:22,703 --> 00:07:24,966
You know, I'm
very excited about this.

114
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:28,056
I'm this young kid
and I really want to,
like, get this guy to like me.

115
00:07:28,099 --> 00:07:31,451
I'm running around,
I'm whatever complimenting him.

116
00:07:33,148 --> 00:07:36,760
Richie was like
The Music Mancomes to town

117
00:07:36,804 --> 00:07:38,849
making people
excited about something.

118
00:07:42,331 --> 00:07:43,506
Folks, listen!

119
00:07:43,550 --> 00:07:45,203
I'm Professor Harold Hill.

120
00:07:45,726 --> 00:07:48,555
And I'm here to organize
the River City boys band.

121
00:07:49,251 --> 00:07:51,514
[Zac] I think he liked
making people feel good.

122
00:07:51,558 --> 00:07:55,779
I think he liked telling people
that they were going to be
a big star.

123
00:07:55,823 --> 00:07:56,998
It was like when he would talk,

124
00:07:57,041 --> 00:07:58,739
it just seemed possible

125
00:07:58,782 --> 00:08:00,523
whatever he was talking about.

126
00:08:00,567 --> 00:08:02,307
And, and if you can
be around that,

127
00:08:02,351 --> 00:08:04,527
I mean, that's a nice thing
to be around,

128
00:08:04,571 --> 00:08:08,879
especially in a small town
where not a lot seems possible.

129
00:08:09,967 --> 00:08:12,883
He really made you believe that
you were going to be something.

130
00:08:12,927 --> 00:08:14,363
You could do anything.

131
00:08:16,017 --> 00:08:17,497
And the first thing you were
going to do is be in this movie

132
00:08:17,540 --> 00:08:18,672
that was going to get shot.

133
00:08:19,586 --> 00:08:21,326
The way he pitched the story
was a movie

134
00:08:21,370 --> 00:08:25,940
about a guy who tries to
get out of a gangster world,

135
00:08:25,983 --> 00:08:29,509
and move upstate to
a small town with his son.

136
00:08:30,553 --> 00:08:33,469
Gangsters from the city
follow him up there

137
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,297
and kill his wife.

138
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:38,605
And then somehow he
gets charged with the murder

139
00:08:38,648 --> 00:08:39,910
and ends up in jail.

140
00:08:40,781 --> 00:08:42,870
And, and everyone's
after his son.

141
00:08:45,046 --> 00:08:46,743
The most
important thing about the pitch

142
00:08:46,787 --> 00:08:49,485
was that it's all going
to take place in Narrowsburg

143
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:51,139
and is going to
put the city on the map.

144
00:08:52,227 --> 00:08:53,750
This was an opportunity.

145
00:08:53,794 --> 00:08:55,752
You know, I was
going to get in that movie.

146
00:08:55,796 --> 00:08:58,363
I mean, there was
no question in my mind.

147
00:09:00,844 --> 00:09:03,891
And I started, like, hanging
out in the office with him

148
00:09:03,934 --> 00:09:05,849
and Jocelyne and everyone.

149
00:09:06,502 --> 00:09:08,939
Richie was like,
"Joss, why aren't you--

150
00:09:08,983 --> 00:09:10,506
you should be paying this kid."

151
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:11,986
Like, "This kid's here
all the time,"

152
00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:13,770
like, "you got to
pay him something."

153
00:09:14,336 --> 00:09:16,512
-[man] I'm going ahead, Jeff.
-[man 2] Good morning,
Jocelyne.

154
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:18,949
-[man] What, moving up already?
-[woman] Look what you've found.

155
00:09:20,168 --> 00:09:21,473
[man] I know nothing yet.

156
00:09:21,517 --> 00:09:22,997
[Zac] Jocelyne...

157
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,260
was just sort of around
in the background.

158
00:09:25,826 --> 00:09:28,393
And they were
like a good couple.
They seemed like a good couple.

159
00:09:31,005 --> 00:09:33,442
Jocelyne was,
according to reputation,

160
00:09:33,485 --> 00:09:36,793
this woman who had run
the Hollywood film festival.

161
00:09:37,359 --> 00:09:40,405
And now she was
going to bring Hollywood

162
00:09:40,449 --> 00:09:42,669
to this little town
of Narrowsburg.

163
00:09:46,368 --> 00:09:48,718
The only thing I ever knew about
her was she was from France.

164
00:09:48,762 --> 00:09:51,199
No, she was
actually from South Africa

165
00:09:51,242 --> 00:09:52,766
-she told me at one time.
-Was it?

166
00:09:52,809 --> 00:09:54,158
-Well, I know she had--
-Or I found out later on

167
00:09:54,202 --> 00:09:55,812
she was from South Africa.

168
00:09:55,856 --> 00:09:57,640
-She told me France.
-But she sounded like she--

169
00:09:57,684 --> 00:09:59,816
okay, well, she sounded like,

170
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:01,557
to me, like, she was French.

171
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,690
But I heard she was
from South Africa somehow.

172
00:10:04,255 --> 00:10:06,257
[laughs] You're doing good
with that.

173
00:10:06,301 --> 00:10:09,870
[interviewer] Can you first
of all just tell us your name?

174
00:10:09,913 --> 00:10:12,263
Okay, should I say it
in French or in English?

175
00:10:12,307 --> 00:10:15,266
Should I work,
I mean, um, the accent,

176
00:10:15,310 --> 00:10:17,051
because now I'm in
between the both accents,

177
00:10:17,094 --> 00:10:19,488
so how do you
want me to say my name?

178
00:10:19,531 --> 00:10:21,577
In American way, a French way?

179
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:25,015
-[interviewer] However
you feel more comfortable.
-Okay.

180
00:10:25,059 --> 00:10:29,019
My name is
Marie Jocelyne Plante.
I was born, I was born Plante

181
00:10:29,063 --> 00:10:32,327
and in a small island
called Reunion Island.

182
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:34,677
It's a very small community.

183
00:10:34,721 --> 00:10:36,723
Everyone know each other.

184
00:10:36,766 --> 00:10:39,116
Uh, I wanted to establish
my own rules, you know,

185
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,468
and, and to be free to think
and to do what I wanted to do

186
00:10:43,512 --> 00:10:45,993
and to think for myself,
you know, so.

187
00:10:46,036 --> 00:10:48,604
[light, gentle music]

188
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,739
I knew it was a world out there.

189
00:10:55,002 --> 00:10:56,917
When I was young,
I love Western,

190
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,661
I love cowboys movies, cowboys,
the cowgirls, the open space.

191
00:11:03,227 --> 00:11:05,577
-Is it a pretty place, Steve?
-Uh-huh.

192
00:11:05,621 --> 00:11:06,927
It's the old Jamison place,

193
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:08,711
about 40 miles
outside of Tascosa.

194
00:11:09,494 --> 00:11:11,714
Can we move right in
and start living there?

195
00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:14,804
[Jocelyne] When you're
a child, America, it's a,
it's dream, you know,

196
00:11:14,848 --> 00:11:16,414
every child,
you know, in this world

197
00:11:16,458 --> 00:11:18,503
somehow dreams
of going to America.

198
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,421
I came here in 1989.

199
00:11:25,206 --> 00:11:27,991
I do know when
I landed in Los Angeles,

200
00:11:28,035 --> 00:11:32,256
I felt, I felt
like more home, you know.

201
00:11:34,041 --> 00:11:35,869
I met Richard, um...

202
00:11:38,132 --> 00:11:40,525
at the Hollywood Film Festival
that I was part of.

203
00:11:42,789 --> 00:11:45,835
Before him, I never met
anyone really, uh,

204
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,316
criminal, so... [chuckles]

205
00:11:48,838 --> 00:11:51,319
You know, being
Italian-American, uh,

206
00:11:51,362 --> 00:11:53,974
coming from, I don't
know if he comes from the mob

207
00:11:54,017 --> 00:11:57,368
or what but I was fascinated
by it, I have to admit.

208
00:11:57,978 --> 00:12:00,981
[light, playful music]

209
00:12:03,026 --> 00:12:05,594
[Rich] My father is
an American dream story.

210
00:12:05,637 --> 00:12:09,685
My father's dream was
always to be a superstar.

211
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,339
It was always to be famous.

212
00:12:11,861 --> 00:12:14,037
You know, I was in
his movie Whacking Cows.

213
00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:18,738
I looked up to him a lot
and I feel like he was
almost like a superhero to me.

214
00:12:19,434 --> 00:12:21,436
He didn't need
De Niro to say, "All right.

215
00:12:21,479 --> 00:12:22,785
You-- You're the star
of a movie."

216
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:23,873
He was a star already.

217
00:12:23,917 --> 00:12:24,787
Come on, get out.

218
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:36,190
The methology
has risen, let's go.

219
00:12:36,233 --> 00:12:37,626
I love the camera.

220
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,585
You know, I was growing
up the way I did, you know,

221
00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:42,457
I was always
looking for attention.

222
00:12:43,327 --> 00:12:46,809
How much more attention can
you get than this? [chuckles]

223
00:12:47,418 --> 00:12:50,204
My mother winged up
in a mental institution,

224
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:53,947
and my father who
once again doing time.

225
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:57,515
And my life just felt complete

226
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,040
when I hang out with the,
uh, the tough guys

227
00:13:00,083 --> 00:13:03,304
or good fellas as we say,
you know, in our world.

228
00:13:04,435 --> 00:13:09,136
I started robbing banks,
uh, armored car heists.

229
00:13:09,179 --> 00:13:11,051
[man] Your fucking gun.
Drop the fucking gun!

230
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:13,053
Get on the ground.

231
00:13:13,096 --> 00:13:14,968
[Richie] And before you knew it,
I was in Attica

232
00:13:15,011 --> 00:13:16,752
doing 12 years.

233
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:19,973
I got sentenced on a, uh,
a payroll robbery that I did.

234
00:13:20,495 --> 00:13:21,801
[tires screech]

235
00:13:22,410 --> 00:13:23,890
I wanted to get
out of that life.

236
00:13:23,933 --> 00:13:25,413
If you saw Whacking Cows,

237
00:13:25,456 --> 00:13:27,502
it's a story of a guy

238
00:13:27,545 --> 00:13:29,417
trying to make his life better.

239
00:13:30,505 --> 00:13:33,334
I'm just tired of this life.
I want to do something
different.

240
00:13:34,117 --> 00:13:37,294
And everybody I spoke
would just naturally would say,

241
00:13:37,338 --> 00:13:39,731
"You got a nice personality,
I like that.

242
00:13:39,775 --> 00:13:41,211
You should become an actor.

243
00:13:41,733 --> 00:13:44,562
You can live your life on film

244
00:13:44,606 --> 00:13:47,130
and not have all these
people chasing you for real."

245
00:13:47,914 --> 00:13:49,916
And I say, "Hey,
that's a great idea, man."

246
00:13:49,959 --> 00:13:51,656
[upbeat music]

247
00:13:54,355 --> 00:13:55,182
[gun bangs]

248
00:13:55,922 --> 00:13:57,053
[siren wails]

249
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:00,056
And that's how my career
started in acting.

250
00:14:01,362 --> 00:14:05,409
And then an agent said,
"Listen, De Niro's doing a film,

251
00:14:05,453 --> 00:14:06,541
and I got you in.

252
00:14:06,584 --> 00:14:07,977
You know, go read for them."

253
00:14:08,499 --> 00:14:11,372
I went in and
Bobby was sitting there.

254
00:14:11,415 --> 00:14:12,895
He said, "Were
you ever on film before?"

255
00:14:12,939 --> 00:14:14,854
I said, "A thousand times!"

256
00:14:14,897 --> 00:14:17,160
I said, "At the police
station had all my number."

257
00:14:17,204 --> 00:14:19,162
He said, "I like this guy."

258
00:14:19,206 --> 00:14:20,294
You're good.

259
00:14:20,337 --> 00:14:22,296
No, no, you're good, Doc.

260
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:25,865
He said, "I'm going
to make you Jimmy Boots."

261
00:14:26,953 --> 00:14:29,042
And I looked at like 15 pages.

262
00:14:30,043 --> 00:14:31,827
Well, that was
relatively painless.

263
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:32,959
-[slaps]
-Shut the fuck up.

264
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:34,874
That hurt.

265
00:14:34,917 --> 00:14:36,397
[Richie] Every breath I took

266
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,442
on that set, I enjoyed it.

267
00:14:39,704 --> 00:14:41,793
I loved working
with Robert De Niro.

268
00:14:42,316 --> 00:14:43,970
It was like being with God.

269
00:14:46,015 --> 00:14:48,104
When we wrapped,
I started crying

270
00:14:48,148 --> 00:14:51,542
because I felt bad
about leaving Jimmy Boots,

271
00:14:51,586 --> 00:14:53,805
the character that
I had played for three months.

272
00:14:53,849 --> 00:14:56,069
I actually felt
like two different people.

273
00:14:57,157 --> 00:14:59,202
That's what happens
in every movie I'm in.

274
00:14:59,986 --> 00:15:02,858
I become the character,
and the character comes to life.

275
00:15:04,816 --> 00:15:06,862
[siren wails]

276
00:15:09,734 --> 00:15:12,041
[producer] Can you talk
about meeting Jocelyne?

277
00:15:12,085 --> 00:15:14,043
I thought she
was a wonderful lady.

278
00:15:14,087 --> 00:15:15,610
And I wanted to hold onto it,

279
00:15:15,653 --> 00:15:17,525
and that's how I got
deeply involved with her,

280
00:15:18,656 --> 00:15:20,093
because I liked her that much.

281
00:15:21,833 --> 00:15:24,880
[Jocelyne] I was attracted to
Richard by his fun side.

282
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:28,449
He had a very fun side
about him, always joking.

283
00:15:28,492 --> 00:15:30,581
But my age, I don't think so,

284
00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:34,150
you just have a relationship
just to have a relationship,
you know?

285
00:15:34,194 --> 00:15:36,805
You have to be in love.
Yes, I was in love with him.

286
00:15:38,502 --> 00:15:41,636
Actually, it happened very,
on the spur of the moment

287
00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:43,029
that he proposed to me.

288
00:15:43,072 --> 00:15:44,204
One morning
he woke up and he said,

289
00:15:44,247 --> 00:15:45,640
"Let's go and get married."

290
00:15:45,683 --> 00:15:46,771
And I said, "Okay."

291
00:15:49,470 --> 00:15:52,560
[Richie] I don't know
if this is too personal
to tell the world,

292
00:15:52,603 --> 00:15:55,302
but making love to her,

293
00:15:55,345 --> 00:15:57,043
I probably
cried like a girl sometimes

294
00:15:57,086 --> 00:15:59,915
because I'm an emotional guy,

295
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,656
and especially when I make love

296
00:16:01,699 --> 00:16:03,527
and when I care
about the person.

297
00:16:04,485 --> 00:16:06,269
I've always been
loyal to a girl I was with.

298
00:16:06,313 --> 00:16:09,011
And they'll all tell you.
Right, girls? You out there?

299
00:16:09,055 --> 00:16:10,534
You know, I tell the truth.

300
00:16:10,578 --> 00:16:13,146
[dark, playful music]

301
00:16:15,626 --> 00:16:18,281
Hey, Isaac, do you ever
think of getting out of here?

302
00:16:18,325 --> 00:16:20,022
-And go where?
-I don't know.

303
00:16:20,066 --> 00:16:21,719
Maybe we'll start
a farm or something.

304
00:16:21,763 --> 00:16:23,634
Raise some cows, who knows?

305
00:16:29,771 --> 00:16:32,513
[Jocelyne] We wanted to
get out of New York

306
00:16:32,556 --> 00:16:33,775
to start over again.

307
00:16:35,168 --> 00:16:38,127
We wanted that little
tranquil life, you know?

308
00:16:39,302 --> 00:16:43,872
And I just wanted to see the,
the, you know the nice side
of Narrowsburg.

309
00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:47,267
[dark, playful music]

310
00:17:03,892 --> 00:17:06,155
-Hey, what's up, Mike?
-[Mike] What's up, Richie?

311
00:17:06,199 --> 00:17:08,331
-You got that money?
-What money?

312
00:17:08,940 --> 00:17:12,161
-So now you forgot?
-I paid you last night.
What are you talking about?

313
00:17:12,857 --> 00:17:15,121
-Forget about it.
-I got a bad memory.

314
00:17:15,164 --> 00:17:17,036
[Mike] Yeah, well,
let's work on it.

315
00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:21,649
[Zac] Me and him hit it off
fairly quickly.

316
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,915
One day, he started talking
about starting an acting school.

317
00:17:28,308 --> 00:17:30,571
And I'm going to be
the first student

318
00:17:30,614 --> 00:17:33,661
in the Richard Castellano
School of Acting.

319
00:17:35,532 --> 00:17:38,187
Every single morning I
would see him and, "Come on.

320
00:17:38,231 --> 00:17:40,755
Come to my acting classes."
I said, "Are you kidding me?

321
00:17:40,798 --> 00:17:42,452
I don't need no acting class.

322
00:17:42,496 --> 00:17:45,455
I can act fine
all on my own." [chuckles]

323
00:17:45,499 --> 00:17:47,457
That's how it
started out with him, and

324
00:17:47,501 --> 00:17:49,764
before you knew it, he had
a thing on Main Street there,

325
00:17:49,807 --> 00:17:52,810
and everybody and their brothers
we're coming down
here to take acting classes.

326
00:17:52,854 --> 00:17:55,552
[John Cirelli] I think it was
$20, $25 a weekend.

327
00:17:55,596 --> 00:17:57,685
My granddaughter
learned to be an actress.

328
00:17:58,164 --> 00:18:00,340
She learned to
talk in front of people.

329
00:18:00,383 --> 00:18:03,169
She didn't--
She wasn't afraid after that.

330
00:18:03,212 --> 00:18:04,474
It helped her in school.

331
00:18:05,388 --> 00:18:08,696
[Zac] I watched
the class grow into 25,

332
00:18:08,739 --> 00:18:10,959
30 people, 35 people.

333
00:18:11,394 --> 00:18:12,569
And then I got a camera.

334
00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:14,397
[man] Action!

335
00:18:21,187 --> 00:18:23,014
[Zac] I don't remember
there being a script,

336
00:18:23,058 --> 00:18:25,104
but it was all kind
of coming out of his head.

337
00:18:26,017 --> 00:18:27,106
[man] Action.

338
00:18:27,149 --> 00:18:28,846
You fucking bitch. [chuckles]

339
00:18:29,412 --> 00:18:31,327
You're supposed to be a cop?
Aren't you a
little young to be a cop?

340
00:18:31,371 --> 00:18:34,330
[chuckles] You never saw
21 Jump Street?

341
00:18:34,374 --> 00:18:37,594
[Zac] There's like a detective,
and there's a murder,
and there's a camp

342
00:18:37,638 --> 00:18:39,944
because there was a lot
of young kids in the class.

343
00:18:39,988 --> 00:18:41,337
I asked you, what's the matter?

344
00:18:43,209 --> 00:18:45,080
[Zac] There's grandparents.

345
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:47,169
There was like a crazy lady,
and it was just

346
00:18:47,213 --> 00:18:49,519
the story would just get
bigger and bigger and bigger.

347
00:18:51,217 --> 00:18:52,957
It was totally improv.

348
00:18:53,001 --> 00:18:55,177
It was like, "You're
the brother, you're the sister.

349
00:18:55,221 --> 00:18:56,787
Your mom just got killed,

350
00:18:56,831 --> 00:18:59,225
and you think that
it's your father's fault

351
00:18:59,268 --> 00:19:01,227
and she thinks
it's your fault; go!"

352
00:19:02,532 --> 00:19:05,056
But there wasn't a whole lot
to do in Narrowsburg.

353
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:06,797
And it was a-- It was fun.

354
00:19:06,841 --> 00:19:08,190
[laughs]

355
00:19:10,453 --> 00:19:13,717
[John Marchese] And there was
these people who,
they were farmers,

356
00:19:13,761 --> 00:19:16,329
and, uh,
kids from the local high school

357
00:19:16,372 --> 00:19:19,375
shouting like,
"Fuck you!" "No, fuck you!"

358
00:19:19,419 --> 00:19:21,682
"No, hey, fuck you, fuck you!"

359
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:24,337
And that was [chuckles]
the Richie Castellano
School of Acting.

360
00:19:24,380 --> 00:19:25,903
That's it, what can you do?

361
00:19:25,947 --> 00:19:27,731
[John Marchese] They would
put on this act

362
00:19:27,775 --> 00:19:30,908
where Jocelyne would pick up
the phone and say, you know,

363
00:19:30,952 --> 00:19:33,128
"It's Bobby" [chuckles].

364
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:37,219
And Richie would come
and start talking on the phone.

365
00:19:37,263 --> 00:19:38,829
Of course,
everybody thought he had a call

366
00:19:38,873 --> 00:19:40,788
from Robert De Niro,
you know, who else?

367
00:19:42,006 --> 00:19:46,620
Um, I think that was
just part of the, uh, promotion.

368
00:19:54,454 --> 00:19:56,020
[bells ring]

369
00:19:58,632 --> 00:20:00,677
[man] Can anybody join
this parade or what?

370
00:20:01,635 --> 00:20:03,158
-How are you?
-[woman] Is that Richie?

371
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,246
It's the film festival.

372
00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:05,900
Beat it, kids, you're [mumbles].

373
00:20:06,466 --> 00:20:10,426
[Zac] I made a commercial
for the first film festival.

374
00:20:10,992 --> 00:20:15,257
And it was this like huge
production, and it was on TV.

375
00:20:15,301 --> 00:20:17,303
[clock ticks]

376
00:20:17,346 --> 00:20:19,479
[narrator]
Don't sleep through
your dream. Live it

377
00:20:19,522 --> 00:20:22,351
at the Narrowsburg International Independent Film Festival,

378
00:20:22,395 --> 00:20:24,266
August 2nd through the 6th.

379
00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:28,183
Meet producers, actors,
screenwriters, and directors.

380
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:31,882
Attend daily seminars, screenings, and nightly events.

381
00:20:31,926 --> 00:20:34,015
Learn and celebrate
the art of indie film

382
00:20:34,058 --> 00:20:35,886
in the beautiful
Catskill Mountains.

383
00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:38,019
For information
visit our website

384
00:20:38,062 --> 00:20:40,282
at narrowsburgfilmfestival.com.

385
00:20:42,893 --> 00:20:45,592
[Zac] The first film
festival was amazing.

386
00:20:45,635 --> 00:20:47,898
I mean, it was a big deal
and there were real movies.

387
00:20:48,377 --> 00:20:51,075
The whole place was
covered with balloons,

388
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,427
and the ceiling.
And Mekhi Phifer was there.

389
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:57,821
Linda Hopkins, who was
this jazz singer, performed.

390
00:20:57,865 --> 00:21:00,259
It was really happening
in a lot of ways.

391
00:21:01,172 --> 00:21:04,132
[John Marchese] There were
people around packing
that little theater.

392
00:21:06,613 --> 00:21:08,397
[Richie] We were the talk
of the town.

393
00:21:08,441 --> 00:21:10,225
There's the Castellanos!

394
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,879
They had it in the papers.

395
00:21:11,922 --> 00:21:14,838
They call us, uh,
real McCoy. [chuckles]

396
00:21:15,317 --> 00:21:17,058
[Richie] They loved us
so much in Narrowsburg,

397
00:21:17,101 --> 00:21:19,495
they named a hamburger after me!

398
00:21:19,539 --> 00:21:21,541
They had the Castellano Burger.

399
00:21:21,584 --> 00:21:25,936
I actually thought that
they would change the name

400
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:28,765
of Narrowsburg
to Castellanosburg.

401
00:21:28,809 --> 00:21:31,507
Thank you so much. I'm so happy
that you're all here.

402
00:21:31,551 --> 00:21:35,598
Please have a nice night.
God bless everyone
and all my fellow actors.

403
00:21:35,642 --> 00:21:38,949
My wonderful wife who
keeps me on the straight narrow.

404
00:21:38,993 --> 00:21:40,821
My brother chose those words.

405
00:21:40,864 --> 00:21:42,431
So thank you once again.

406
00:21:42,475 --> 00:21:44,825
God bless everybody, okay?
Thank you.

407
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:47,044
[audience cheers]

408
00:21:47,567 --> 00:21:50,613
I have to thank
right out of the gate...

409
00:21:51,614 --> 00:21:54,443
Jocelyne and Richard Castellano.

410
00:21:54,487 --> 00:21:58,099
They told me about
a dream that they had.

411
00:21:58,142 --> 00:22:00,144
[audience cheers]

412
00:22:03,017 --> 00:22:09,284
Believe me, it will be
a Sundance on the East Coast.

413
00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:11,721
[audience cheers]

414
00:22:13,114 --> 00:22:15,812
[sings in foreign language]

415
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:25,387
[Jocelyne] I just wanted
to do a good festival.

416
00:22:25,431 --> 00:22:28,303
I just wanted to do something
good. And I felt that, you know,

417
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:31,262
having this kind of
attention would make him believe

418
00:22:31,306 --> 00:22:33,743
that he can be someone.
He can be somebody.

419
00:22:33,787 --> 00:22:35,571
He can, he can
really change his life

420
00:22:35,615 --> 00:22:39,836
from mob wannabe to, you know,

421
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,795
have a, have a good
Hollywood story.

422
00:22:41,838 --> 00:22:43,362
That's what I wanted for him.

423
00:22:44,667 --> 00:22:47,409
You know, like, like in
the movies, you know? [chuckles]

424
00:22:48,192 --> 00:22:49,672
[sings in foreign language]

425
00:23:08,648 --> 00:23:10,432
[Zac] Soon after the festival,

426
00:23:10,476 --> 00:23:12,086
Richard was always talking about

427
00:23:12,129 --> 00:23:14,480
making the movie
Four Deadly Reasons,

428
00:23:14,523 --> 00:23:16,525
and, "You're all going
to be invited to be in it."

429
00:23:16,569 --> 00:23:20,007
[dark, playful music]

430
00:23:23,097 --> 00:23:25,055
[Tom] I tell you
exactly what he said to me.

431
00:23:25,099 --> 00:23:27,144
"We're making this movie
in Narrowsburg."

432
00:23:27,188 --> 00:23:29,320
And he said, "We're going
to use a lot of local people."

433
00:23:29,364 --> 00:23:31,714
But this came with
more than just making a film.

434
00:23:31,758 --> 00:23:33,760
It came with
putting the town on the map.

435
00:23:34,543 --> 00:23:38,025
[Jocelyne] I've never produced
a film before, before that one.

436
00:23:38,068 --> 00:23:39,983
Richard is no organizer.

437
00:23:40,027 --> 00:23:45,554
[chuckles] And so, uh, he said,
"Organize it, make it happen,

438
00:23:45,598 --> 00:23:48,122
and I will
find the finance for it."

439
00:23:49,863 --> 00:23:52,474
I asked, "Do you
want to be in the movie?
Come and audition."

440
00:23:52,518 --> 00:23:55,129
"You want to invest
in the movie? Let me know."

441
00:23:55,172 --> 00:23:57,305
"You want to invest?
Yeah, I'll take 5,000."

442
00:23:59,525 --> 00:24:01,352
[Dr. Paul] I saw the movie
Analyze This.

443
00:24:01,396 --> 00:24:03,180
I was very impressed by it.

444
00:24:03,224 --> 00:24:05,182
He wanted to
know if I'd be interested

445
00:24:05,226 --> 00:24:08,272
in giving him some money
for this venture.

446
00:24:08,316 --> 00:24:10,666
"Hey, Doc, how are you?
We need your help.

447
00:24:10,710 --> 00:24:13,495
You're a good guy,
let's get it together, come on!"

448
00:24:15,366 --> 00:24:18,761
Richie used to go down here
every day, telling people,
"Come over, come over,

449
00:24:18,805 --> 00:24:21,024
and, you know, do some acting.
I'll get you in a movie."

450
00:24:21,068 --> 00:24:23,636
He said people are
going to be movie stars.

451
00:24:26,116 --> 00:24:29,032
Everybody wants to be
a part of that Hollywood
glitz and glamor.

452
00:24:31,034 --> 00:24:34,298
People began to talk,
and I think they were lining up
to give Richie money.

453
00:24:35,299 --> 00:24:36,692
[soft chatter]

454
00:24:36,736 --> 00:24:37,867
[woman] Yeah, bring everything.

455
00:24:39,303 --> 00:24:42,393
Great, once you
go into the camp and, uh...

456
00:24:43,307 --> 00:24:45,005
[Zac] He held
a very large audition,

457
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:46,833
and everybody I knew
probably was there.

458
00:24:46,876 --> 00:24:48,008
I mean, it was packed.

459
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:53,579
Do you wanted me to fill
this out, but what does
this stuff mean?

460
00:24:53,622 --> 00:24:55,319
Social Security number.

461
00:24:55,363 --> 00:24:57,800
Over here put question mark.

462
00:24:57,844 --> 00:24:59,410
You're playing Dominic.

463
00:24:59,454 --> 00:25:01,238
Okay, I don't know
my Social Security number.

464
00:25:01,282 --> 00:25:04,024
Okay, just put--
I don't know [laughs].

465
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,896
[audience cheers]

466
00:25:18,734 --> 00:25:20,127
[whistles]

467
00:25:21,781 --> 00:25:24,435
[Paul] Cut. Okay, good.
Okay, that was really good.

468
00:25:25,654 --> 00:25:27,917
Guys, I know
it doesn't look natural.

469
00:25:27,961 --> 00:25:30,877
Background action,
everybody here starts cheering

470
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,748
and doing your thing.
Cheerleaders start cheering.

471
00:25:32,792 --> 00:25:35,011
And then we call action.

472
00:25:35,055 --> 00:25:37,057
Then we kind of look to you.

473
00:25:37,666 --> 00:25:39,146
Okay, one more rehearsal.

474
00:25:39,189 --> 00:25:41,496
[dark, playful music]

475
00:25:41,975 --> 00:25:44,194
[Zac] I was cast as his son.

476
00:25:44,238 --> 00:25:47,633
I'm Dominic, I'm this,
like, basketball star.

477
00:25:47,676 --> 00:25:51,462
And I was really
excited to have this opportunity

478
00:25:51,506 --> 00:25:53,943
that was seemingly
like once in a lifetime.

479
00:25:55,771 --> 00:25:58,339
That's when I smoked
my first cigarette

480
00:25:58,382 --> 00:26:01,385
and that's when
I had my first beer.

481
00:26:03,518 --> 00:26:04,867
It was really happening.

482
00:26:04,911 --> 00:26:06,477
I mean, there's big trucks there

483
00:26:06,521 --> 00:26:10,177
with real professionals
and gangsters.

484
00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:14,573
All of them had been in, like,
Analyze Thisor Casino.

485
00:26:16,923 --> 00:26:21,231
Richie was taking it very
seriously. He loved that movie.

486
00:26:21,275 --> 00:26:24,713
I want you four guys
to start sticking together.

487
00:26:24,757 --> 00:26:27,150
I want you to start creating
a little bit of attitude.

488
00:26:27,194 --> 00:26:29,631
And I want you to start feeling
like the Four Deadly Reasons.

489
00:26:31,459 --> 00:26:33,461
[Paul] I had submitted
a documentary

490
00:26:33,504 --> 00:26:35,115
to the Narrowsburg
Film Festival.

491
00:26:36,116 --> 00:26:39,336
Jocelyne, said,
"Well, I love your documentary.

492
00:26:39,380 --> 00:26:41,164
Would you be
interested in directing this?"

493
00:26:41,774 --> 00:26:43,689
Okay, so, so Zac.

494
00:26:44,341 --> 00:26:46,648
[Joe] My friend,
Paul Borghese, great director,

495
00:26:46,692 --> 00:26:49,129
he says, "I want to
shoot this movie

496
00:26:49,172 --> 00:26:50,609
in Narrowsburg, New York."

497
00:26:51,522 --> 00:26:54,395
When I had the opportunity
to write, uh, a mob film

498
00:26:54,438 --> 00:26:55,831
with, you know,
it's in my blood.

499
00:26:55,875 --> 00:26:57,485
I wanted to prove
that I could write more

500
00:26:57,528 --> 00:26:59,705
than what people
thought I was capable.

501
00:26:59,748 --> 00:27:01,620
That I could
see everything coming

502
00:27:01,663 --> 00:27:03,622
if I got involved in Hollywood.

503
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:05,580
[Paul] All right, I'm going to,

504
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:06,886
go through this with
you guys a little bit.

505
00:27:06,929 --> 00:27:08,017
[man 2] All right,
do it, shall we?

506
00:27:08,061 --> 00:27:09,497
Yeah, yeah, dog face.

507
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:11,151
Why don't you
get another tattoo?

508
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,980
Mad dog, mad dog face.

509
00:27:14,023 --> 00:27:15,503
When are you going
to get it right, Tommy?

510
00:27:16,156 --> 00:27:19,333
Yo, Jesus Christ,
we're trying to talk over here.

511
00:27:20,073 --> 00:27:22,031
Yeah, asshole,
I'm trying to read.

512
00:27:23,511 --> 00:27:26,296
So you guys are
a little funny almost.

513
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:29,038
Like you talk, I mean,
you're a little funny.
A little bit of, okay?

514
00:27:30,997 --> 00:27:34,914
[Paul] We were making what
was supposed to be mob comedy,

515
00:27:34,957 --> 00:27:36,959
and the funny thing
was that almost everybody
that went up there,

516
00:27:37,003 --> 00:27:38,526
Richie would go, "Yeah.

517
00:27:38,569 --> 00:27:40,006
You're good,
you're good, yeah, I like you.

518
00:27:40,049 --> 00:27:41,572
I got something
for you in this movie.

519
00:27:41,616 --> 00:27:42,922
I got something for you
in this movie.

520
00:27:42,965 --> 00:27:44,010
You're going to be in my movie."

521
00:27:44,053 --> 00:27:45,185
[laugh]

522
00:27:45,228 --> 00:27:46,969
In all honesty, in all honesty,

523
00:27:47,013 --> 00:27:49,276
I wish everybody had this man's
heart, because I know,

524
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:51,582
if it was up to him,
everybody in this county
will be working on this film,

525
00:27:51,626 --> 00:27:53,889
including, including my parents,
their parents,

526
00:27:53,933 --> 00:27:56,675
my cousins, my cousins' cousins.

527
00:27:56,718 --> 00:27:57,719
-That's right.
-He's a good man.

528
00:27:57,763 --> 00:27:59,460
And that-- I mean that.

529
00:27:59,503 --> 00:28:01,114
Uh, Chris, can you make sure
we aren't,

530
00:28:01,157 --> 00:28:03,072
the officers' communication
with someone, yeah.

531
00:28:03,116 --> 00:28:04,857
-[Chris] They're doing it
right now.
-[Jocelyne] Okay.

532
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,598
You're going to be in a cop car,
in the passenger side.

533
00:28:07,642 --> 00:28:09,949
Hey, Richie, you see this bank?

534
00:28:09,992 --> 00:28:11,341
-Right.
-We talked about this before.

535
00:28:11,385 --> 00:28:12,952
Okay, make sure you're hitting.

536
00:28:12,995 --> 00:28:14,127
Roll sound!

537
00:28:14,170 --> 00:28:15,041
[woman] Sounds rolling.

538
00:28:15,606 --> 00:28:16,477
[man] Action!

539
00:28:19,349 --> 00:28:20,307
[Paul] Action caught.

540
00:28:30,012 --> 00:28:32,536
Trooper,
Bobby Venuti just escaped.

541
00:28:32,580 --> 00:28:33,929
I want the bridge blocked.

542
00:28:36,845 --> 00:28:40,588
[man] All right, we're in the
set here for two excellent
characters

543
00:28:40,631 --> 00:28:42,503
-in Four Deadly Reasons.
-Thank you.

544
00:28:42,546 --> 00:28:44,287
[man] How do you like
the people on the shoot here?

545
00:28:44,766 --> 00:28:47,682
-Everyone's excellent. Yeah.
-It's a great
filmy atmosphere here.

546
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:50,729
You know, you have a cast
from other, other,
other movies we did,

547
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:54,210
Analyze This,and this
and that, or whatever it is.

548
00:28:54,254 --> 00:28:56,125
Analyze there, here, anywhere.

549
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:58,345
-[man] Hey, little Vitti.
-[Joe] Say hello, Vitti.

550
00:28:58,388 --> 00:28:59,694
[man] You were in Analyze This,
weren't you?

551
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:01,217
-Yeah.
-What did you play?

552
00:29:01,261 --> 00:29:02,305
The little son.

553
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:05,700
We'd like to say hello
Mister and Missis Castellano

554
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,223
for bringing
this whole thing together.

555
00:29:07,267 --> 00:29:08,921
[man] All right, where are they?

556
00:29:08,964 --> 00:29:10,313
-We don't know where they are.
-Richie and Jocelyne

557
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:11,619
but they're around--

558
00:29:11,662 --> 00:29:12,925
[man] I have to
go find them too.

559
00:29:14,448 --> 00:29:15,405
[man] Chris, what part are
you planning in the picture?

560
00:29:15,449 --> 00:29:16,667
Right now
I'm playing a minor role

561
00:29:16,711 --> 00:29:19,409
as, uh, a patron
at a coffee shop.

562
00:29:20,541 --> 00:29:23,022
[man] And, uh, you like
the people on the set?

563
00:29:23,065 --> 00:29:24,806
The people on the set
are really great,

564
00:29:24,850 --> 00:29:26,808
especially Rich--
Richard Castellano.

565
00:29:26,852 --> 00:29:28,462
He does a great job
with everybody.

566
00:29:28,505 --> 00:29:30,333
And I think it's going
to really be a good movie.

567
00:29:30,986 --> 00:29:33,336
I'm staying here
from, uh, New York City.

568
00:29:33,380 --> 00:29:37,210
I came up to, uh, Narrowsburg.

569
00:29:37,253 --> 00:29:38,820
You know, it's a pretty nice
town up here.

570
00:29:38,864 --> 00:29:40,430
You know, it's a little quiet,
you know?

571
00:29:41,301 --> 00:29:44,043
You know, I thought, uh,
I thought it was a ghost town

572
00:29:44,086 --> 00:29:46,393
but there are, there are really
people living here, you know?

573
00:29:48,569 --> 00:29:50,789
And what do people
do up here, actually do?

574
00:29:51,441 --> 00:29:52,965
[man] They canoe down
at Delaware.

575
00:29:53,008 --> 00:29:55,576
They canoe down--
I knew a few guys that canoed.

576
00:29:55,619 --> 00:29:58,622
But that-- Those were guys that,
you know, uh,

577
00:29:58,666 --> 00:30:00,886
like, escaped from prisons
that were near the water.

578
00:30:04,498 --> 00:30:05,629
It's scripted.

579
00:30:06,065 --> 00:30:07,631
We're going to have to, I, I, I,

580
00:30:07,675 --> 00:30:10,373
I wrote the scenes,
uh, yesterday,

581
00:30:10,417 --> 00:30:11,505
and she's
typing it this morning.

582
00:30:13,115 --> 00:30:14,421
Do you have a light that you
put, like one of those lights

583
00:30:14,464 --> 00:30:16,031
that people put
on their unmarked cars?

584
00:30:16,075 --> 00:30:17,598
-No.
-No?

585
00:30:17,641 --> 00:30:19,078
I wanted but, you know what,

586
00:30:19,121 --> 00:30:20,209
we're going to lose the light.

587
00:30:21,036 --> 00:30:22,603
And they go
down at the same time?

588
00:30:22,646 --> 00:30:24,344
-[Larry] I don't know, Paul.
-Where's Richie?

589
00:30:24,387 --> 00:30:25,780
I have no idea.

590
00:30:27,434 --> 00:30:29,175
Things started to go bad
while we were shooting
that movie.

591
00:30:29,784 --> 00:30:31,873
You know, Richie
was constantly missing.

592
00:30:31,917 --> 00:30:33,527
Nobody knew where he was.

593
00:30:34,745 --> 00:30:37,879
[Larry] Where the problem
started to show up,

594
00:30:37,923 --> 00:30:40,403
people were
showing up constantly saying,

595
00:30:40,926 --> 00:30:42,710
"Richie told me
I could be in the film,"

596
00:30:43,232 --> 00:30:47,280
and the production manager
had the job of saying to them,

597
00:30:47,323 --> 00:30:49,673
uh, "I'm really sorry."

598
00:30:49,717 --> 00:30:52,676
Richie told everybody
they could be in the film.

599
00:30:54,940 --> 00:30:58,639
And then after the first week,
all the checks bounced.

600
00:30:58,682 --> 00:31:00,946
[eerie music]

601
00:31:02,382 --> 00:31:05,428
I called Richie and said,
"Richie, you know,
the check bounced.

602
00:31:05,472 --> 00:31:07,343
I'm going to go to the police."
He said, "You go to the police,

603
00:31:07,387 --> 00:31:09,519
I'm-- you're going
to the morgue."

604
00:31:09,563 --> 00:31:10,912
Fucking you, wasn't it?

605
00:31:10,956 --> 00:31:12,871
You're a fucking dead man,
Paulie!

606
00:31:13,567 --> 00:31:15,351
[eerie music]

607
00:31:17,701 --> 00:31:20,661
Practically, everybody
who was employed by them

608
00:31:20,704 --> 00:31:23,969
knew, phew, this is not
going well.

609
00:31:24,012 --> 00:31:27,015
And my understanding is a couple
of them threatened to quit,

610
00:31:27,059 --> 00:31:30,236
and he threatened them
with bodily harm [chuckles]

611
00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:31,367
if they quit.

612
00:31:33,935 --> 00:31:36,677
This is the file that
I started keeping on Castellano

613
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,549
when things started
going south [chuckles],

614
00:31:39,593 --> 00:31:41,464
when we started
hearing all these rumors

615
00:31:41,508 --> 00:31:44,163
that maybe, that this guy
wasn't all he was
supposed to be.

616
00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:49,255
[Steve] I remember
he needed cash,

617
00:31:49,298 --> 00:31:51,387
and that's when
he started to sweat.

618
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:54,347
I don't know what
he needed it for

619
00:31:54,390 --> 00:31:56,044
but he'd come out to my clinic,

620
00:31:56,088 --> 00:31:58,394
and I remember we had to
throw him out a couple times,

621
00:31:58,438 --> 00:32:00,222
because he just wanted cash.

622
00:32:00,266 --> 00:32:02,050
You know, he just
wanted a loan, a loan.

623
00:32:02,964 --> 00:32:04,705
Cash was his drug.

624
00:32:05,227 --> 00:32:09,144
[Zac] A lot of it was like,
I got this shipment of sneakers

625
00:32:09,188 --> 00:32:11,059
that I'm going to buy
for this amount of money

626
00:32:11,103 --> 00:32:12,713
and sell it
for this amount of money,

627
00:32:12,756 --> 00:32:14,106
and if you give
me this amount of money,

628
00:32:14,149 --> 00:32:15,368
I'll give you
this amount of money.

629
00:32:16,847 --> 00:32:19,938
[John Conway] He said he
had a truckload of VCRs,

630
00:32:19,981 --> 00:32:22,331
and that if I would invest
a certain amount of money,

631
00:32:22,375 --> 00:32:25,552
he said he would double the,
the money in 48 hours.

632
00:32:28,207 --> 00:32:31,210
I know he's a very good talker,
because when I first met him,

633
00:32:31,253 --> 00:32:34,126
he got money from me,
so... [chuckles]

634
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:37,651
He told me that
he was going to go to jail

635
00:32:37,694 --> 00:32:41,002
if he didn't have
money to pay his probation.

636
00:32:42,221 --> 00:32:44,353
And, of course,
I found out way later

637
00:32:44,397 --> 00:32:48,140
that that was a total
made up story, you know?

638
00:32:48,183 --> 00:32:50,098
[dark, playful music]

639
00:32:51,143 --> 00:32:52,753
I think he was not in control

640
00:32:52,796 --> 00:32:55,930
of a little bit of stardom
that he was getting,

641
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,801
and that fed his ego,

642
00:32:57,845 --> 00:33:00,065
and then I think
it got out of control.

643
00:33:01,544 --> 00:33:05,200
[Richard] As time passed,
people began to question

644
00:33:05,244 --> 00:33:06,985
just what was going on.

645
00:33:07,768 --> 00:33:10,118
And there were so many
rumors around Castellano

646
00:33:10,162 --> 00:33:12,468
that you couldn't
separate fact from fiction.

647
00:33:15,906 --> 00:33:19,519
At that point, there was, uh,
essentially a work stoppage.

648
00:33:20,302 --> 00:33:25,090
Most of the crew did not want to
continue working.

649
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,831
[Paul] So the crew's
waiting around,

650
00:33:27,875 --> 00:33:29,181
and all of a sudden, you know,

651
00:33:29,224 --> 00:33:31,661
here comes Richard
on a golf cart.

652
00:33:31,705 --> 00:33:34,360
Ta-tara-tara,
it was almost like Caddyshack.

653
00:33:34,403 --> 00:33:36,231
So he comes out,
he gets off the cart

654
00:33:36,275 --> 00:33:38,538
with a, with a,
with a brown paper bag.

655
00:33:39,234 --> 00:33:41,671
[Richie] I came there
with 300,000 cash.

656
00:33:42,107 --> 00:33:44,848
"How many hours you worked?
Here, here's your money."

657
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:47,329
And I paid
everybody down the line.

658
00:33:47,373 --> 00:33:52,943
Like, kind of, you know, mobster
kind of payday. [chuckles]

659
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:57,644
But I didn't knew where
his money was coming from.

660
00:33:57,687 --> 00:34:00,734
And my, my mistake was
not to try to find out.

661
00:34:01,169 --> 00:34:03,780
[dark, playful music]

662
00:34:16,576 --> 00:34:19,100
[Zac] Even after
everything just fell apart,

663
00:34:19,579 --> 00:34:22,582
a lot of the people
were still hanging on.

664
00:34:23,452 --> 00:34:25,846
And I was definitely,
like, in the hanging on camp.

665
00:34:26,325 --> 00:34:29,023
I kept going
to the acting classes,

666
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:33,506
and I kept doing all
these things with the hope of,

667
00:34:33,549 --> 00:34:37,075
the movie's going to come out,
and I'm going to have
this movie that I was in.

668
00:34:38,511 --> 00:34:42,863
It wasn't until they
started the second film festival

669
00:34:42,906 --> 00:34:46,040
where you started seeing
the headline stories shifted.

670
00:34:49,043 --> 00:34:51,698
I had two movies in
the Narrowsburg Film Festival.

671
00:34:51,741 --> 00:34:54,179
One of them opened the festival,

672
00:34:54,222 --> 00:34:56,094
and the other one
closed the festival.

673
00:34:57,660 --> 00:35:00,141
You know, closing night movie,
it was Blue Moon.

674
00:35:01,751 --> 00:35:04,319
I do love you.
You know I love you.

675
00:35:04,885 --> 00:35:06,147
It's the end of the world.

676
00:35:07,192 --> 00:35:09,237
It must be the end the world.

677
00:35:09,281 --> 00:35:11,500
[Brian] And the other was
in the opening night movie,

678
00:35:11,544 --> 00:35:13,023
that's Under Hellgate Bridge.

679
00:35:14,808 --> 00:35:16,636
Brian, I knew you're
going to be here, man.

680
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:18,638
Hey! [chuckles]

681
00:35:19,769 --> 00:35:23,686
[Brian] I called my agent, uh,
Sarah Fargo at Paradigm,

682
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:28,038
and I said, "I've got
two movies in this festival."

683
00:35:28,082 --> 00:35:30,519
And she's like, "Oh, that's
great! What is it?"

684
00:35:30,563 --> 00:35:34,393
And I said,
"It's called Narrowsburg
International Film Festival."

685
00:35:35,002 --> 00:35:38,005
And she said, "Well,
when you find out what that is,

686
00:35:38,048 --> 00:35:40,007
let me know." [laughs]

687
00:35:43,228 --> 00:35:46,883
I remember
that I had written down

688
00:35:46,927 --> 00:35:48,450
what had happened to me there.

689
00:35:48,494 --> 00:35:53,151
And in here is
the Narrowsburg Film Festival

690
00:35:53,194 --> 00:35:55,936
as it happened to me.
I was there every day.

691
00:35:55,979 --> 00:35:58,895
And some of this is actually
written down in dialogue

692
00:35:58,939 --> 00:36:02,072
because when I hear
really good dialogue,
I like to write it down.

693
00:36:02,116 --> 00:36:04,336
[dark, whimsical music]

694
00:36:06,251 --> 00:36:08,296
When we got into town,

695
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:11,517
the town was not
what I expected at all.

696
00:36:11,995 --> 00:36:14,824
It was kind of
like a scary movie set.

697
00:36:14,868 --> 00:36:16,130
There wasn't one banner

698
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:19,873
over a little tiny theater.

699
00:36:19,916 --> 00:36:23,703
In the theater, it was
kind of a little sad auditorium.

700
00:36:23,746 --> 00:36:26,401
Even the screen was askew.

701
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:31,624
I saw Richie, and Richie
goes, "Hey, Brian Vincent,

702
00:36:31,667 --> 00:36:34,192
welcome to the Sundance
of the East."

703
00:36:34,714 --> 00:36:37,499
Then there
was like a blur of motion

704
00:36:37,543 --> 00:36:40,720
of like this guy right
behind him came up suddenly,

705
00:36:40,763 --> 00:36:45,246
and he turned around
and grabbed this guy

706
00:36:45,986 --> 00:36:49,468
by the lapel of his shirt
and dragged him into an alley,

707
00:36:50,077 --> 00:36:51,557
and he start beating him.

708
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,559
And it was like, [puffs]

709
00:36:53,602 --> 00:36:55,474
the guy was like, "No, no!"

710
00:36:55,517 --> 00:36:57,824
And Richie goes, "Motherfucker!"

711
00:36:57,867 --> 00:37:00,870
And Jocelyne
ushered me into the office

712
00:37:00,914 --> 00:37:02,307
while all that was happening.

713
00:37:02,872 --> 00:37:05,223
She just acted
like it didn't happen.

714
00:37:06,354 --> 00:37:08,182
I think she'd make
a great poker player.

715
00:37:09,183 --> 00:37:11,968
Then Richie comes back,
and he's shaking out his hands,

716
00:37:12,012 --> 00:37:15,058
and he goes, "We can't
have any bums in this town.

717
00:37:15,102 --> 00:37:16,582
We got a festival to run here."

718
00:37:17,887 --> 00:37:19,541
He looked very worried actually.

719
00:37:21,717 --> 00:37:24,590
Pretty quickly after,
somebody took me aside

720
00:37:24,633 --> 00:37:27,506
and they said,
"I gave some money,

721
00:37:27,549 --> 00:37:33,425
quite a lot of money to
this guy Richie Castellano
for my SAG card.

722
00:37:33,468 --> 00:37:36,471
Did you ever do that before
or did you go to the union?"

723
00:37:38,168 --> 00:37:39,996
That was a very odd question.

724
00:37:41,302 --> 00:37:43,522
It was like what else
could possibly go wrong?

725
00:37:43,565 --> 00:37:47,221
Because it probably is
going to. I mean, the food
was late for the dinner,

726
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:51,356
and so and so didn't show up
and this person's going to walk
if they don't get their money,

727
00:37:51,399 --> 00:37:54,228
and, I mean,
it just became a total--

728
00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:56,056
it was total train wreck.

729
00:37:57,144 --> 00:37:58,537
And now let's have some fun.

730
00:38:00,147 --> 00:38:02,541
And I would like to call on
the stage someone, uh, someone

731
00:38:02,584 --> 00:38:04,586
that everybody
is expecting tonight.

732
00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:06,719
Pat, where are you?

733
00:38:06,762 --> 00:38:07,763
Pat Cooper.

734
00:38:07,807 --> 00:38:09,678
[audience cheers]

735
00:38:14,814 --> 00:38:17,904
Ladies and gentlemen,
I have never been
so bored in my life.

736
00:38:17,947 --> 00:38:20,515
[audience laughs]

737
00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:24,650
I have never,
never saw actors give themselves

738
00:38:24,693 --> 00:38:26,869
accolades that
nobody gives a goddamn.

739
00:38:28,654 --> 00:38:31,918
I wound up going to this goddamn
small town, Narrowsville,

740
00:38:31,961 --> 00:38:34,921
Narrowscot, and I don't know
how they call the goddamn place.

741
00:38:34,964 --> 00:38:36,923
I said hello to
Richie Castellani.

742
00:38:36,966 --> 00:38:39,926
We talk about a man that
said he make movie after movie.

743
00:38:40,492 --> 00:38:42,624
I only seen him
in one goddamn movie,

744
00:38:42,668 --> 00:38:44,800
but the way he talked,
it's like Gone with the Wind.

745
00:38:44,844 --> 00:38:46,106
[audience laughs]

746
00:38:46,149 --> 00:38:48,064
Little Rosalyn, Jocelyne,
Jeesalyn,

747
00:38:48,108 --> 00:38:51,633
or what her goddamn name is,
who spoke here for ten minutes,

748
00:38:51,677 --> 00:38:54,244
and I swear to Christ
nobody knew what she said.

749
00:38:54,288 --> 00:38:55,724
[audience laughs]

750
00:38:55,768 --> 00:38:57,900
Moving on, ladies and gentlemen,

751
00:38:57,944 --> 00:39:00,512
standing on a stage
with actors that nobody knows.

752
00:39:00,555 --> 00:39:02,514
[audience laughs]

753
00:39:03,558 --> 00:39:06,866
Richard Castellano, you
dear man, ladies and gentlemen,

754
00:39:06,909 --> 00:39:08,998
who tries to
give lessons on acting.

755
00:39:09,042 --> 00:39:10,391
[audience laughs]

756
00:39:10,435 --> 00:39:11,523
What a joke.

757
00:39:11,566 --> 00:39:13,220
[audience laughs]

758
00:39:13,263 --> 00:39:14,613
I made a movie with him.

759
00:39:14,656 --> 00:39:16,266
This guy couldn't
find the fucking door.

760
00:39:16,310 --> 00:39:18,138
[audience laughs]

761
00:39:18,181 --> 00:39:21,533
But I love him, and I
love this kind of situation

762
00:39:21,576 --> 00:39:23,796
because nobody cares.

763
00:39:23,839 --> 00:39:24,971
[audience laughs]

764
00:39:25,014 --> 00:39:26,886
What are you making, a movie?

765
00:39:26,929 --> 00:39:28,714
No! Get away, no more.

766
00:39:28,757 --> 00:39:30,455
That's it, stop. Stop!

767
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:33,980
Stop, that's it,
no more, no more.

768
00:39:34,023 --> 00:39:35,808
-Oh.
-[man] Close-up.

769
00:39:35,851 --> 00:39:37,070
-Stop.
-Close-up.

770
00:39:37,113 --> 00:39:38,550
-Stop. Stop.
-Are you serious?

771
00:39:38,593 --> 00:39:40,639
[uneasy music]

772
00:39:47,123 --> 00:39:49,648
[Brian] So on Sunday was when
they showed Blue Moon.

773
00:39:49,691 --> 00:39:52,477
And then they were going
to give out all the awards.

774
00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:57,525
And I won the dubious honor
of the Rising Star Award

775
00:39:57,569 --> 00:40:00,615
at the Narrowsburg
International Film Festival.

776
00:40:01,790 --> 00:40:03,749
And I got caught up in it.

777
00:40:04,750 --> 00:40:08,057
It made me cry,
and I realize as I was crying

778
00:40:08,101 --> 00:40:09,842
how ridiculous it was,

779
00:40:09,885 --> 00:40:13,889
because I knew that
the festival was a sch-- sham,

780
00:40:13,933 --> 00:40:17,458
and I'm crying over... a sham.

781
00:40:17,502 --> 00:40:19,808
[uneasy music]

782
00:40:20,722 --> 00:40:24,117
The next day, they were
showing Four Deadly Reasons.

783
00:40:24,770 --> 00:40:28,034
What I had heard was that
the town had produced the movie,

784
00:40:28,077 --> 00:40:30,166
which sounded kind of
intriguing to me, actually.

785
00:40:30,210 --> 00:40:31,951
Like, could a town
produce a whole movie

786
00:40:31,994 --> 00:40:34,170
and it'd be a hit?
Yeah, of course, they could.

787
00:40:34,214 --> 00:40:35,215
It's a great story. [chuckles]

788
00:40:38,087 --> 00:40:40,307
[Zac] We had heard about it
through the premier

789
00:40:40,350 --> 00:40:41,961
for weeks and weeks and weeks.

790
00:40:42,004 --> 00:40:44,267
It was going to be
like a Hollywood premier.

791
00:40:44,311 --> 00:40:47,270
I expected to see a great movie
with local people in it.

792
00:40:47,314 --> 00:40:50,709
Some famous actors
mixing with the local people.

793
00:40:50,752 --> 00:40:53,276
Putting the small town
of Narrowsburg on the map.

794
00:40:55,148 --> 00:40:56,454
I bought a suit.

795
00:40:56,497 --> 00:40:58,673
I was going to, like, roll up

796
00:40:58,717 --> 00:41:01,763
and make a grand entrance
in a town car.

797
00:41:01,807 --> 00:41:03,809
I mean, I had a big plan.

798
00:41:04,287 --> 00:41:05,680
It was the film festival,
you know?

799
00:41:05,724 --> 00:41:07,421
I was counting down the days.

800
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:09,989
I was so excited.
Tickets sold out immediately.

801
00:41:10,032 --> 00:41:12,557
Everyone wanted to see
what this movie was going to be.

802
00:41:15,168 --> 00:41:17,910
[Brian] When we got there,
the town was all dressed up.

803
00:41:17,953 --> 00:41:20,390
And they were so happy.

804
00:41:20,434 --> 00:41:21,957
They all felt like
professional actors.

805
00:41:22,741 --> 00:41:25,700
But [stutters] what was amazing
to me was that Richie,

806
00:41:25,744 --> 00:41:28,224
he was still
on a throne, you know,

807
00:41:28,268 --> 00:41:31,837
and people were
just, they loved him.

808
00:41:32,315 --> 00:41:34,579
I set up my camera in the back.
I was standing in the back.

809
00:41:34,622 --> 00:41:36,929
I was going to
capture this moment.

810
00:41:36,972 --> 00:41:39,540
And, uh, Joe Dinki
gets up there.

811
00:41:39,584 --> 00:41:41,324
[audience applauds]

812
00:41:41,368 --> 00:41:44,414
All right, um, I, um...

813
00:41:45,285 --> 00:41:48,549
wrote the screenplay
for Four Deadly Reasons
from an original story

814
00:41:48,593 --> 00:41:51,683
by, uh, Richard's son
and another person.

815
00:41:51,726 --> 00:41:54,207
And, uh, we took it
and we made it into a--

816
00:41:54,250 --> 00:41:57,689
I think a very viable, very
sellable, very fun mob film.

817
00:41:58,385 --> 00:42:01,388
So let's all applaud Narrowsburg
for their participation.

818
00:42:01,431 --> 00:42:03,999
-Thank you.
-[audience cheers]

819
00:42:10,266 --> 00:42:12,573
Now, uh, the hard part.

820
00:42:14,096 --> 00:42:18,187
Um, halfway,
we started the, um, editing,

821
00:42:18,231 --> 00:42:21,016
post-production
on this film in July.

822
00:42:21,060 --> 00:42:24,280
And, uh, lo and behold,
we hit a few problems.

823
00:42:24,324 --> 00:42:28,110
And, uh, sadly, we don't
have the whole film here today.

824
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:33,681
And I really do apologize.
But what you will see is
15 minutes,

825
00:42:33,725 --> 00:42:37,946
sorry, of the film that shows
exactly what we were doing

826
00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:41,733
and how much fun it is
and how great your area looks

827
00:42:41,776 --> 00:42:44,605
and all the people
that were in this film.

828
00:42:44,649 --> 00:42:47,608
Uh, I don't want to belay to
the point and keep apologizing

829
00:42:47,652 --> 00:42:49,392
because you guys are great
and I think it's a fun film

830
00:42:49,436 --> 00:42:51,699
and I know it's
going to go places.

831
00:42:51,743 --> 00:42:53,962
And I'm having one of those
really bad summers, so...

832
00:42:54,876 --> 00:42:58,793
and I apologize.
If I was more energetic,
I could've made this happen.

833
00:42:59,664 --> 00:43:02,536
But, um, I'm going to turn it
over to, uh, to see it, right?

834
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:03,972
And then if
you have any questions,

835
00:43:04,016 --> 00:43:05,713
I'd be glad to
answer those afterwards

836
00:43:05,757 --> 00:43:08,281
about where this is
going and what happened to it

837
00:43:08,324 --> 00:43:09,587

[Tom] It was chopped up pieces
of movie that I couldn't
make no sense of.

849
00:43:54,066 --> 00:43:55,589
I don't know if
it was to be deceitful

850
00:43:55,633 --> 00:43:57,678
or just to put
something in front of you,

851
00:43:57,722 --> 00:43:59,332
but there was nothing there.

852
00:44:00,986 --> 00:44:03,815
[Zac] I had invited a bunch
of people, my family was there.

853

I'm just watching
these scenes go by,

waiting to catch
a glimpse of myself.

855
00:44:13,476 --> 00:44:15,261
And it was like nothing.

856
00:44:15,304 --> 00:44:16,784
No shots of me.

No shots of Narrowsburg at all.

858
00:44:19,134 --> 00:44:22,398
Just these terrible scenes
with these gangsters.

[Jocelyne] I was
feeling so ashamed,

862
00:44:29,362 --> 00:44:31,103
and I think I left the theater.

863
00:44:31,146 --> 00:44:35,368
Everyone was
so furious about it.

the lights came up

869

and then they
were like, "That's it.

870
00:44:53,647 --> 00:44:56,737
Okay, you know, you can
get out of here or whatever."

871
00:44:58,478 --> 00:45:00,872
[Tom] There was that, uh,
horrific silence

872
00:45:01,829 --> 00:45:03,570
that nobody says nothing.

873
00:45:03,613 --> 00:45:05,485
Some people in the crowd gasped.

874
00:45:05,528 --> 00:45:07,705
And I said to myself,
"They're the investors."

875
00:45:08,967 --> 00:45:11,447
It hit me, I said,
"If it ain't a scam,

876
00:45:11,491 --> 00:45:13,798
it's something that
went really, really wrong."

[Joe] The kid, Zac,
he's almost in tears.

878
00:45:19,107 --> 00:45:21,762
I had no idea
the amount of money

879
00:45:21,806 --> 00:45:25,287
or the amount of emotion that
his family put into this movie.

880
00:45:25,331 --> 00:45:26,419
I felt horrible.

881
00:45:26,941 --> 00:45:28,726
And his father,
he's got like this,

882
00:45:28,769 --> 00:45:30,510
yeah, I can tell with his face,
his face is all tense,

883
00:45:30,553 --> 00:45:32,381
and he's drawing
these steel eyes at me,

884
00:45:32,425 --> 00:45:34,775
and he just wanted, he want--

885
00:45:34,819 --> 00:45:36,646
he wanted to take
his anger out on me.

and his wife and Jocelyne

887
00:45:40,607 --> 00:45:42,478
and Richard,
go, complain to them.

888
00:45:42,522 --> 00:45:44,872
I was trying to save that movie.

889
00:45:44,916 --> 00:45:46,482
And I was trying to get it done

890
00:45:46,526 --> 00:45:47,788
so those people
would have something

891
00:45:47,832 --> 00:45:48,963
and I would have something.

892
00:45:50,225 --> 00:45:53,838
What was
overarching was the fact

893
00:45:53,881 --> 00:45:57,015
that I was not going to do this.

894
00:45:57,755 --> 00:46:01,976
I was not, I wasn't going
to be an actor, that was it.

895
00:46:02,890 --> 00:46:06,676
I could not deal
with that... sort of thing

896
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:07,895
happening to me again.

897
00:46:10,071 --> 00:46:12,508
[Brian] We all went out
on the street

898
00:46:12,552 --> 00:46:15,076
and there
were people just, like,

899
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,036
running like, "Look, where--
what the hell? Where is Richie?

900
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:21,561
Where is Jo, where are they?"
And that's when the town...

901
00:46:22,605 --> 00:46:24,912
went from "We love you"
to "We hate you."

902
00:46:26,131 --> 00:46:28,742
And that, you know, there
was real violence in the air.

903
00:46:31,092 --> 00:46:34,617

every crevice,

904
00:46:34,661 --> 00:46:36,706

knocking on the office door
after the film.

Never anybody there.

911

It's like they,
in the middle of the night--

912
00:47:04,822 --> 00:47:05,953
They disappeared.

913
00:47:05,997 --> 00:47:07,041
So then I knew,

914
00:47:07,085 --> 00:47:09,087
I says, "The jig is up."

915
00:47:09,130 --> 00:47:11,872

knows something's wrong
with this whole picture.

in the morning,

922
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,149
we drove to the main office,

923
00:47:28,193 --> 00:47:31,239
and there
was nobody in the office,

924
00:47:31,283 --> 00:47:33,328
the computers, they were gone.

925
00:47:33,372 --> 00:47:36,070
There was nothing left there.

926
00:47:36,114 --> 00:47:38,116
There was
someone there that said,

927
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:41,336
the police
were looking for Jocelyne

928
00:47:41,380 --> 00:47:43,904
or maybe they
were just saying Richie.

929
00:47:43,948 --> 00:47:46,864
But they-- they had found
a passport with the picture

930
00:47:46,907 --> 00:47:49,649
that had been
cut out. [chuckles]

931

I don't know
what to make of that.

932
00:47:51,303 --> 00:47:54,045
They found a passport
with a picture cut out.

933
00:47:55,133 --> 00:47:56,830
[Cecilia] I think
there was one in here...

934
00:47:57,962 --> 00:48:00,007
when the story
first broke, right?

935
00:48:00,051 --> 00:48:01,356
In The Times Herald-Record.

936
00:48:01,966 --> 00:48:04,707

uh, Times Herald-Record.

937

I think this was
the front page, headline.

938
00:48:11,671 --> 00:48:13,847
Then it started snowballing.

939
00:48:13,891 --> 00:48:15,980
[Cecilia] It grows
quickly in a small town.

940
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,939
[Tom] Everybody said
they were con artists.

941
00:48:20,245 --> 00:48:22,421
Every couple of days
you see somebody else

942
00:48:22,464 --> 00:48:23,596
came out of the woodwork.

943
00:48:25,206 --> 00:48:26,816

of dollars

944
00:48:26,860 --> 00:48:28,601
that he had gotten from people,

945
00:48:28,644 --> 00:48:29,994
where did all this money go?

00:48:31,082 --> 00:48:33,780

damn thing, top to bottom.

948
00:48:39,003 --> 00:48:41,788
I mean, come on.
They did a couple
little scenes on Main Street,

949
00:48:41,831 --> 00:48:43,311
a cop car go up and down.

950
00:48:43,355 --> 00:48:45,748
I think he gave everybody
a big fucking farce.

951
00:48:46,227 --> 00:48:48,664
And he came up here
deliberately to fuck everybody.

952
00:48:51,450 --> 00:48:53,931
Things started to come
out about him, you know.

953
00:48:53,974 --> 00:48:55,671
It wasn't a bank that he robbed.

954
00:48:55,715 --> 00:48:57,456
It was like a shoe store.

955
00:48:57,499 --> 00:48:59,719
It was, like, the story shifted,

956
00:48:59,762 --> 00:49:01,895
and it was no longer glamorous.

957
00:49:01,939 --> 00:49:05,116
It was, like,
he was, he had been lying.

958
00:49:05,159 --> 00:49:06,508
My name is Detective Wyatt.

959
00:49:06,552 --> 00:49:08,293
[Larry] His real name
is Castaldo,

960
00:49:08,336 --> 00:49:11,252
okay? The key there
with Richie was

961
00:49:11,296 --> 00:49:13,994
that he used Castellano
as the name.

962
00:49:14,038 --> 00:49:17,867
Paul Castellano was
head of the Gambinos, you know.

963
00:49:18,390 --> 00:49:19,652
But he had been dead for years,

964
00:49:19,695 --> 00:49:21,480
so what's he going to do,
you know?

965
00:49:22,133 --> 00:49:23,482
Say, "You can't use my name?"

966
00:49:24,613 --> 00:49:26,746
[slow relaxed music]

967
00:49:28,182 --> 00:49:30,358
[Brian] After the festival,

968
00:49:30,402 --> 00:49:32,708
I saw there was
a newspaper article,

969
00:49:32,752 --> 00:49:35,233
and on the front page
was Richie.

970
00:49:35,885 --> 00:49:39,977
And it says,
"Fallen Star's Film Fiasco."

971
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:45,373
Finally, Richie showed
up in the town and he goes,

972
00:49:45,417 --> 00:49:49,029
"Hey, did you see I
made the papers' front page?

973
00:49:49,073 --> 00:49:54,556
They call me a star, a fallen
star, but a star, right?"

974
00:49:56,254 --> 00:49:58,691
[Zac] He was on Main Street,
wasted.

975
00:49:58,734 --> 00:50:03,000
He's not in his suit anymore,
he's in, like, sweatpants
and like a wifebeater,

976
00:50:03,043 --> 00:50:05,524
and, like, he's just
chain smoking and screaming.

977
00:50:05,567 --> 00:50:08,353
"I'm a fallen star, star, star."

978
00:50:09,963 --> 00:50:12,879
He was, like, at the end
of his rope, you know.

979
00:50:13,662 --> 00:50:15,577
And he's been in a fight.

980
00:50:15,621 --> 00:50:18,145
[tense music]

981
00:50:25,935 --> 00:50:27,459
Get the fuck, get the fuck off,

982
00:50:27,502 --> 00:50:29,983
get the fucking [mumbles].

[dramatic opera music]

986
00:50:50,395 --> 00:50:52,658
[Zac] I think he knew it
was over at that point.

987
00:50:53,572 --> 00:50:55,008
I don't think
there was much to do

988
00:50:55,052 --> 00:50:58,229
besides get drunk and just wait

989
00:50:58,272 --> 00:51:00,579
for all the bad stuff
that was about to come.

990
00:51:00,622 --> 00:51:02,885
I mean, I think he knew
it was going to crash down.

991
00:51:04,409 --> 00:51:06,063
[Bobby] Officer, what are
you doing, officer?

992
00:51:06,715 --> 00:51:08,021
Wait a second [mumbles].

-[Bobby] Go inside!
-[police officer] Shut up,
Bobby.

994
00:51:15,420 --> 00:51:16,986

to shut up!

[Tracy] I'll be in sight to
the Richard Castellano story

999
00:51:29,782 --> 00:51:32,219
-in Sullivan County.
-It does appear
to be on its way.

1000
00:51:32,263 --> 00:51:35,135
The actor featured in
the movie Analyze This,

1001
00:51:35,179 --> 00:51:38,051
Richard Castellano, who
was brought to the county jail

1002
00:51:38,095 --> 00:51:42,099
last night, face Judge
Frank LaBuda in court today.

1003
00:51:42,142 --> 00:51:44,362
Castellano was
charged with grand larceny

1004
00:51:44,405 --> 00:51:47,016
after promising people
Screen Actors Guild cards.

1005
00:51:47,452 --> 00:51:50,542
Sentencing and restitution
will be discussed tomorrow.

1006
00:51:51,673 --> 00:51:54,023
There were many charges
pending against Richard.

1007
00:51:54,067 --> 00:51:56,374
But the charges
that ultimately appeared

1008
00:51:56,417 --> 00:51:59,333
in an indictment
were several felony charges

1009
00:51:59,377 --> 00:52:02,597
for taking money
from would-be actors

1010
00:52:02,641 --> 00:52:05,165
and promising them a union card,

1011
00:52:05,209 --> 00:52:08,168
and a fraud charge
where he obtained

1012
00:52:08,212 --> 00:52:10,997
substantial money
from a local farmer.

1013
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,174
I could say when he appeared
in court, he was an actor.

1014
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,004
[Ralph] When he tried to
convince the court of something,

1015
00:52:18,047 --> 00:52:21,050
he acted like he
was starring in a movie,

1016
00:52:21,094 --> 00:52:22,878
and he's always
looking around to make sure

1017
00:52:22,922 --> 00:52:24,010
that he had the audience.

1018
00:52:24,706 --> 00:52:26,882
I believe at times, he

1019
00:52:26,926 --> 00:52:29,929
could not tell the difference
between reality...

1020
00:52:30,451 --> 00:52:33,280
uh, and, and a movie that
he was creating in his own mind.

1021
00:52:34,455 --> 00:52:36,283
On his judgment day,
so to speak,

1022
00:52:36,327 --> 00:52:39,721
case was called and
there was no Richard Castellano.

1023
00:52:39,765 --> 00:52:43,551
The attorney stated that, uh, he
had had a psychiatric breakdown.

1024
00:52:43,595 --> 00:52:46,206
He made a good faith
effort to repay the money,

1025
00:52:46,250 --> 00:52:48,513
but he hasn't paid
it all yet, um,

1026
00:52:48,556 --> 00:52:51,124
mostly because of
his medical problems.
He's been in the hospital.

1027
00:52:51,168 --> 00:52:54,345
Victims should be made whole
because of the scam he pulled.

1028
00:52:54,388 --> 00:52:57,043
[Ralph] There was one time where
he tried to feint a heart
attack.

1029
00:52:57,086 --> 00:52:59,393
He stands up and he
starts to say something,

1030
00:52:59,437 --> 00:53:03,354
then he goes into one of his,
"Oh, something's wrong,

1031
00:53:03,397 --> 00:53:06,705
something's wrong, I,
oh, I feel, oh, I feel weak.

1032
00:53:06,748 --> 00:53:10,491
I can't see.
Oh, oh, something's,
oh, something's awful wrong."

1033
00:53:10,535 --> 00:53:12,711
And he gropes around,
found the chair.

1034
00:53:12,754 --> 00:53:14,365
I looked at
the deputy and he said,

1035
00:53:15,192 --> 00:53:16,932
"He does this
all the time in the jail."

1036
00:53:16,976 --> 00:53:18,499
[Dawn] Aside of a plea deal,

1037
00:53:18,543 --> 00:53:20,545
Castellano
promised to pay them back,

1038
00:53:20,588 --> 00:53:23,156
and would be sentenced to a year behind bars.

1039
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,463
This morning,
Castellano apologized.

1040
00:53:25,506 --> 00:53:27,291
You've been
very respectable judge.

1041
00:53:27,334 --> 00:53:29,510
I appreciate that,
it's almost good to [mumbles]

1042
00:53:29,554 --> 00:53:32,252
so, I, I have no, no complaints,

1043
00:53:32,296 --> 00:53:34,733
and I'm sorry for what happened.

1044
00:53:35,516 --> 00:53:39,085
[Dawn] Judge LaBuda says
Jeffrey Schwartz,
Castellano's attorney,

1045
00:53:39,128 --> 00:53:41,609
doesn't want to
represent his client anymore.

1046
00:53:41,653 --> 00:53:43,350
LaBuda says that is
still long with the...

1047
00:53:43,394 --> 00:53:44,917
Bang, they locked me up.

1048
00:53:46,614 --> 00:53:49,704
And I wind up in
mother effing jail.

1049
00:53:52,054 --> 00:53:54,318
Like, they were saying
we had no film in the camera.

1050
00:53:55,101 --> 00:53:58,191
There were people saying
we had no film in the camera!

1051
00:53:58,713 --> 00:54:00,802
I get mad when I think of it,

1052
00:54:00,846 --> 00:54:02,326
because they were
trying to hurt me so bad.

1053
00:54:03,849 --> 00:54:06,721
The DA, he thought
he had a big fish

1054
00:54:06,765 --> 00:54:09,507
in a small pond, you know?

1055
00:54:09,550 --> 00:54:12,553
Richie Castellano,
the ex-mobster-turned-actor.

1056
00:54:13,032 --> 00:54:14,990
They thought
they had the big one.

1057
00:54:16,209 --> 00:54:18,298
Well, open your eyes.

1058
00:54:18,342 --> 00:54:19,691
You got nobody!

1059
00:54:21,170 --> 00:54:23,956
That you got nobody
but a regular innocent actor.

1060
00:54:24,957 --> 00:54:27,612
I'll see you guys, try to
snap up my cell before I leave,
all right?

1061
00:54:27,655 --> 00:54:29,788
-Of course.
-Be good and remember, write me.

1062
00:54:30,832 --> 00:54:32,094
Take care, Bobby.

1063
00:54:33,052 --> 00:54:35,184
To me, it's nothing
to hold people money,

1064
00:54:35,228 --> 00:54:37,839
so that's why maybe I
don't get excited like kids do.

1065
00:54:38,884 --> 00:54:41,974
You think it's a good story,
I think it's a fucking boring
story.

1066
00:54:43,236 --> 00:54:45,020
Maybe I'm interesting.

1067
00:54:45,456 --> 00:54:46,892
The story sucks.

1068
00:54:48,502 --> 00:54:49,634
That's all I can say.

1069
00:54:50,591 --> 00:54:52,724
[producer] Can you tell me
about, um, uh,

1070
00:54:52,767 --> 00:54:54,769
the premiere of the--

1071
00:54:54,813 --> 00:54:58,077
what was supposed to
be the premier
of Four Deadly Reasons...

1072
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,340
-Yeah.
-...and, but the editor had only

1073
00:55:00,384 --> 00:55:02,560
been able to edit
maybe ten minutes of footage?

1074
00:55:02,603 --> 00:55:04,823
We had to-- we had to,
uh, what do you call that?

1075
00:55:05,519 --> 00:55:06,868
A premiere, yeah.

1076
00:55:07,391 --> 00:55:09,567
Where you got dressed
with tuxedos and everything.

1077
00:55:10,394 --> 00:55:13,353
[producer] But then I have,
like, only ten minutes
of footage was,

1078
00:55:13,397 --> 00:55:16,835
was ready? Do you remember that?

1079
00:55:16,878 --> 00:55:19,272
No, I don't remember that.
I remember seeing
the whole movie.

1080
00:55:19,316 --> 00:55:20,665
What are you talking about?

1081
00:55:22,275 --> 00:55:24,277
Are you sure you know
what you're talking about?

1082
00:55:24,799 --> 00:55:27,106
When I went there,
I watched the whole movie.

1083
00:55:27,149 --> 00:55:29,935
I don't know
which fence you went to.

1084
00:55:32,851 --> 00:55:33,808
Never heard of that.

1085
00:55:33,852 --> 00:55:35,332
Ten minutes of the movie?

1086
00:55:36,463 --> 00:55:37,638
Are you sure?

1087
00:55:39,988 --> 00:55:41,990
I really can't answer that,
I don't know what that--

1088
00:55:42,034 --> 00:55:43,905
what happened
with that ten minutes.

1089
00:55:44,776 --> 00:55:46,125
I don't remember that.

1090
00:55:50,608 --> 00:55:52,436
[projector whirs]

1091
00:55:57,702 --> 00:56:02,315
[somber, whimsical music]

1092
00:56:15,110 --> 00:56:17,199
[John Conway] To read
about some of these people

1093
00:56:17,243 --> 00:56:19,550
who had given
their life savings to this man,

1094
00:56:19,593 --> 00:56:21,900
and just ended up
with absolutely nothing

1095
00:56:21,943 --> 00:56:24,424
to show for, um,
I can only imagine

1096
00:56:24,468 --> 00:56:26,861
what it must have done to them.

1097
00:56:37,350 --> 00:56:39,352
I lent him a lot of money.

1098
00:56:39,396 --> 00:56:42,311
I think I lent
him close to 15-20,000.

1099
00:56:44,792 --> 00:56:48,579
It probably was
not more than 50,000.

1100
00:56:51,059 --> 00:56:53,279
[Steve] I remember
going to the bank,

1101
00:56:53,322 --> 00:56:57,326
I used a couple of
Visa cards to get the cash.

1102
00:56:57,370 --> 00:57:00,547
I walked out the door
and I gave it to him,

1103
00:57:00,591 --> 00:57:04,551
and I just remember
the smile he had on his,
his, uh, you know,

1104
00:57:04,595 --> 00:57:06,727
"Oh, you're amazing, Doc,"
you know.

1105
00:57:07,293 --> 00:57:09,600
To give someone money like that,

1106
00:57:09,643 --> 00:57:12,124
you have to hope
and then dream or believe.

1107
00:57:12,559 --> 00:57:14,866
He said, "You're going
to get a part in the movie,"

1108
00:57:14,909 --> 00:57:16,258
and that was the hook.

1109
00:57:17,346 --> 00:57:21,133
He made me feel like I
was going to go some place.

1110
00:57:30,229 --> 00:57:33,145
[Dr. Paul] It was like
a very fast thing, like,
they needed cash.

1111
00:57:33,798 --> 00:57:35,582
I said, "I, I'm not going
to give you that amount."

1112
00:57:35,626 --> 00:57:37,976
He said, "You have to,
we really need it."

1113
00:57:38,019 --> 00:57:40,021
"Okay, I'll give you a check."

1114
00:57:40,065 --> 00:57:41,719
But when I
went to cash the check,

1115
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,591
there was no money
in the account.

1116
00:57:45,549 --> 00:57:46,985
I felt at that point

1117
00:57:47,551 --> 00:57:50,336
that I was had, and that
these people were swindlers.

1118
00:57:51,206 --> 00:57:54,383
[uneasy music]

1119
00:57:58,387 --> 00:58:00,738
[pensive string music]

1120
00:58:02,435 --> 00:58:05,090
-[man] We're making
a documentary over here.
-[woman] There we go.

1121
00:58:05,133 --> 00:58:07,658
-This is the man.
-[man] All right.

1122
00:58:07,701 --> 00:58:09,529
I respect him,
I love him like a father,

1123
00:58:09,573 --> 00:58:11,575
This guys never wannabe--

1124
00:58:12,576 --> 00:58:14,621
[Tom] Now, I don't know
everybody that gave him money.

1125
00:58:14,665 --> 00:58:16,667
The only guy I know
for sure was John Borg.

1126
00:58:18,103 --> 00:58:20,409
And, uh, he thought he was
going to be in the movie.

1127
00:58:21,062 --> 00:58:23,500
[Lurch] That was, that was
over a $100,000.

1128
00:58:23,543 --> 00:58:25,763
He was having a heart attack,
"Oh, my God,

1129
00:58:25,806 --> 00:58:28,896
I gave him almost my entire
fucking life savings."

1130
00:58:28,940 --> 00:58:31,856
And he died, he died
a few months right after that.
That was it.

1131
00:58:33,771 --> 00:58:35,903
Gloria is
a retired music teacher.

1132
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:40,821
Whether he knew that there
were dementia issues going on,

1133
00:58:40,865 --> 00:58:44,521
I don't know, but she
gave him over a $120,000.

1134
00:58:46,871 --> 00:58:50,918
This note says, "Keep it quiet
because I'll go to jail.

1135
00:58:50,962 --> 00:58:53,530
We don't need
their investigating you."

1136
00:58:54,618 --> 00:58:56,402
I think as she
got deeper and deeper,

1137
00:58:57,142 --> 00:58:58,883
it just became,
like, her little secret

1138
00:58:58,926 --> 00:59:00,928
because she didn't, she didn't
share with her husband,

1139
00:59:00,972 --> 00:59:02,277
she didn't share with anybody.

1140
00:59:05,193 --> 00:59:07,065
[birds chirp]

1141
00:59:12,984 --> 00:59:15,595
[John Marchese] I'm a writer
and journalist,

1142
00:59:15,639 --> 00:59:18,946
and I thought this
has to be written about.

1143
00:59:18,990 --> 00:59:20,731
Uh, I went in to see Richie,

1144
00:59:20,774 --> 00:59:23,734
and he was feeling,

1145
00:59:23,777 --> 00:59:26,954
obviously, that he had been
caught and trapped
at that point.

1146
00:59:27,433 --> 00:59:29,609
And I remember
he showed me, I think,

1147
00:59:29,653 --> 00:59:31,568
this notebook
he had been keeping,

1148
00:59:31,611 --> 00:59:32,960
or something
like kind of legal pad

1149
00:59:33,004 --> 00:59:34,919
where he had been writing stuff.

1150
00:59:34,962 --> 00:59:37,443
And on that pad, he had written,

1151
00:59:38,139 --> 00:59:41,665
"I'm Richie Castellano,
a fallen star."

1152
00:59:44,493 --> 00:59:48,193
So I have to admit that there
was something charming
about him.

1153
00:59:48,236 --> 00:59:51,065
And I don't think that his charm

1154
00:59:51,109 --> 00:59:53,415
was completely based on fraud.

1155
00:59:56,331 --> 00:59:58,159
[man] So what are you
going to do if you get out?

1156
00:59:58,203 --> 01:00:00,640
[Richie] Make love to my wife,
Jocelyne, the whole day.

1157
01:00:00,684 --> 01:00:03,469
-[man] All right.[chuckles]
-[Richie] But--
and what's funny is

1158
01:00:03,512 --> 01:00:06,690
as long as I've been here,
I miss her more and more,
and I love her more and more.

1159
01:00:06,733 --> 01:00:10,171
It took me three months,
uh, two and a half months
to get this girl in bed.

1160
01:00:10,215 --> 01:00:13,044
-[man] Wow!
-[Richie] And that's why
I love her, Sam and Joe,

1161
01:00:13,087 --> 01:00:16,221
a lot of guys, they were
thinking, "I don't worry
about that with my wife."

1162
01:00:16,264 --> 01:00:18,832
When I said that, "You're not
going to run away on me,
are you?"

1163
01:00:18,876 --> 01:00:23,750
"Are you crazy?
Because again, I'm your wife,
why would I leave you now?"

1164
01:00:23,794 --> 01:00:25,752
I don't think she's
ever run away from me.

1165
01:00:28,712 --> 01:00:31,323
[John Marchese] Jocelyne
was being hounded, too,

1166
01:00:31,366 --> 01:00:33,455
but I was trying to find her.

1167
01:00:34,152 --> 01:00:37,590
All I knew was that
she had gone into hiding.

1168
01:00:37,634 --> 01:00:39,940
She was just
the mystery woman all along.

1169
01:00:40,419 --> 01:00:42,726
Everybody could
talk about Richie.

1170
01:00:43,683 --> 01:00:45,642
No one really
could talk about Jocelyne.

1171
01:00:46,599 --> 01:00:49,689
I, I don't think his wife
was involved with the schemes

1172
01:00:49,733 --> 01:00:53,693
and she was never, uh,
charged at any level

1173
01:00:53,737 --> 01:00:55,869
with being involved
in the schemes to defraud.

1174
01:00:56,783 --> 01:00:59,307
I think a lot of people thought
she was just along for the ride.

1175
01:00:59,830 --> 01:01:01,266
You know, what people told me?

1176
01:01:01,309 --> 01:01:03,485
That she was the brains
of the operation.

1177
01:01:03,529 --> 01:01:04,661
He was along for the ride.

1178
01:01:06,053 --> 01:01:07,925
I don't know
if that's true or not,

1179
01:01:07,968 --> 01:01:09,230
but that's what I heard.

1180
01:01:11,929 --> 01:01:15,367
I do recall having
a conversation with,
with Jocelyne,

1181
01:01:15,410 --> 01:01:20,502
where she, uh, told me
that she was a descendant
of the Habsburg dynasty,

1182
01:01:20,546 --> 01:01:23,070
and, uh, how she escaped
in the middle of the night

1183
01:01:23,114 --> 01:01:24,898
with, with some
of their fortune.

1184
01:01:26,291 --> 01:01:27,684
Some of the things that she said

1185
01:01:27,727 --> 01:01:28,989
didn't historically add up.

1186
01:01:31,252 --> 01:01:33,341
[Dr. Paul] I do remember
something like Jocelyne

1187
01:01:33,385 --> 01:01:37,215
having some royalty in her,
like royalty in France

1188
01:01:37,258 --> 01:01:38,738
or in one of those countries.

1189
01:01:41,001 --> 01:01:43,090
[Rich] She told me that
her family owned an island,

1190
01:01:43,134 --> 01:01:45,092
her family was
like billionaires.

1191
01:01:45,136 --> 01:01:46,877
She said she owned Mustang Films

1192
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,661
and it was a big film company.

1193
01:01:50,402 --> 01:01:51,969
[Zac] I'm organizing
some of her files.

1194
01:01:52,012 --> 01:01:53,710
I remember pamphlets of movies

1195
01:01:53,753 --> 01:01:55,146
that she had supposedly produced

1196
01:01:55,189 --> 01:01:56,887
without her name on them.

1197
01:01:56,930 --> 01:02:00,281
She was a lot harder
to pin down than he was.

1198
01:02:02,762 --> 01:02:05,809
[Brian] I think Richie had
dreams of making a movie.

1199
01:02:06,287 --> 01:02:09,421
I think Richie wanted
to be the center of attention

1200
01:02:09,464 --> 01:02:12,467
at a film festival,
and Jocelyne probably being

1201
01:02:12,511 --> 01:02:14,252
the much more intelligent,

1202
01:02:14,295 --> 01:02:17,429
knew the reality of it
would just be so much easier

1203
01:02:17,472 --> 01:02:18,952
to just take the money and run.

1204
01:02:18,996 --> 01:02:21,999
[somber music]

1205
01:02:31,051 --> 01:02:33,837
I know I do not leave men,
uh, indifferent

1206
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,577
one way or another,

1207
01:02:35,621 --> 01:02:37,928
and I think this has been
my curse a little, you know.

1208
01:02:39,059 --> 01:02:41,540
I was not involved,
really I was,

1209
01:02:41,583 --> 01:02:43,629
you know, you can
be guilty by association

1210
01:02:43,672 --> 01:02:45,370
but you need to prove that.

1211
01:02:45,413 --> 01:02:48,329
I was not accused of anything
in Narrowsburg, you know.

1212
01:02:48,373 --> 01:02:52,769
And believe me, the DA
was looking, he was looking.

1213
01:02:56,729 --> 01:02:58,949
In Narrowsburg I did not
understand

1214
01:02:58,992 --> 01:03:00,733
where did all this money go?

1215
01:03:01,603 --> 01:03:04,519
And, you know, one day
did my own detective work,

1216
01:03:04,563 --> 01:03:07,696
you know, and I found out
Richard had problem
with gambling.

1217
01:03:09,829 --> 01:03:12,049
I did confront,
I did confront Richard

1218
01:03:12,092 --> 01:03:15,530
regarding horse's affairs
and horse's money issues,

1219
01:03:16,357 --> 01:03:18,707
but Richard
is a very smooth talker,

1220
01:03:18,751 --> 01:03:21,014
and he would
always say that was crazy,

1221
01:03:21,058 --> 01:03:22,755
you know, just kind of answers

1222
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:25,410
that men sometimes
can say to woman, you know.

1223
01:03:26,193 --> 01:03:28,456
I had a hunch, I thought
we could turn this dollar

1224
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:30,937
into some real money,
pay off Sapiro

1225
01:03:30,981 --> 01:03:33,113
and have some left
for ourselves and the kid.

1226
01:03:35,768 --> 01:03:37,770
Nobody's coming
looking for us, okay?

1227
01:03:38,684 --> 01:03:40,991
[Jocelyne] You are in a corner
and where do you go from there?

1228
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,689
There is a lion
in front of you and, you know,

1229
01:03:43,732 --> 01:03:45,343
and you can't move, you know.

1230
01:03:46,170 --> 01:03:49,042
That's how
I was feeling at that time,

1231
01:03:49,086 --> 01:03:50,870
most of the time
I was with Richard.

1232
01:03:51,871 --> 01:03:54,787
[uneasy music]

1233
01:03:57,834 --> 01:04:01,054
I mean, after leaving
that drama in Narrowsburg

1234
01:04:01,098 --> 01:04:03,535
and everything else
that goes with it,

1235
01:04:03,578 --> 01:04:08,409
the DA, the police,
um, the shame.

1236
01:04:11,325 --> 01:04:14,241
I think I was
at my lowest. [laughs]

1237
01:04:14,285 --> 01:04:18,028
And, um, I think I cried.

1238
01:04:20,117 --> 01:04:21,814
I cried for months.

1239
01:04:22,728 --> 01:04:25,862
I didn't want to exist
anymore either, you know.

1240
01:04:27,951 --> 01:04:30,692
[somber music]

1241
01:04:52,758 --> 01:04:55,239
[rails clatter]

1242
01:05:00,984 --> 01:05:03,464
[siren wails]

1243
01:05:06,076 --> 01:05:08,643
[Isil] We went to
the Narrowsburg Film Festival

1244
01:05:08,687 --> 01:05:10,602
with our film
Under Hellgate Bridge,

1245
01:05:10,645 --> 01:05:13,344
and that's how we met Jocelyne.

1246
01:05:13,387 --> 01:05:17,087
After that festival,
uh, some years went by,

1247
01:05:17,130 --> 01:05:18,958
I don't remember
exactly how many years,

1248
01:05:19,002 --> 01:05:21,961
but we did
hear from her via email

1249
01:05:22,005 --> 01:05:24,398
when she started
the Queens Film Festival.

1250
01:05:25,443 --> 01:05:26,923
I thought, "Hey, you know,

1251
01:05:26,966 --> 01:05:28,968
maybe this is a new
fresh beginning for her.

1252
01:05:30,448 --> 01:05:33,233
And I want to thank
all of our filmmakers,

1253
01:05:33,277 --> 01:05:37,150
our sponsors and
member of the advisory board

1254
01:05:37,194 --> 01:05:40,110
in making this film festival
the best

1255
01:05:40,153 --> 01:05:43,156
I hope that we
have broken new ground

1256
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,637
and set the tone
for another five years

1257
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,292
of the best of independent film.

1258
01:05:48,945 --> 01:05:51,730
[Larry] I didn't know
about the Queens Festival,

1259
01:05:52,383 --> 01:05:55,125
until I saw a friend
from the movie.

1260
01:05:55,168 --> 01:05:58,215
He said, um, "You want
to hear something funny?"

1261
01:05:58,258 --> 01:06:02,697
He said, "Jocelyne is running
the Queens Film Festival now."

1262
01:06:02,741 --> 01:06:06,919
Festival has not only
grown in size but in depth.

1263
01:06:06,963 --> 01:06:10,531
We were just like,
"Wow, you know,
she pulled herself together.

1264
01:06:10,575 --> 01:06:13,317
She survived that
whole Narrowsburg fiasco.

1265
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,624
Maybe this is, you know,
a new beginning for her."

1266
01:06:16,668 --> 01:06:19,671
But what was so odd
was when I saw her

1267
01:06:19,714 --> 01:06:23,153
for the first time,
her name was no longer Jocelyne,

1268
01:06:23,196 --> 01:06:24,502
her name was now Marie.

1269
01:06:25,982 --> 01:06:27,244
[Larry] He said, "Yeah,
she's using the same picture

1270
01:06:27,287 --> 01:06:28,767
that she used in Narrowsburg,

1271
01:06:30,682 --> 01:06:33,032
but she's using a different
name under the same picture."
[chuckles]

1272
01:06:33,076 --> 01:06:35,774
[Isil] We were standing
in the lobby of the festival

1273
01:06:35,817 --> 01:06:38,516
and that's when
somebody came up to us and said,

1274
01:06:38,559 --> 01:06:41,780
you know, they got conned by her
and that she owed them money.

1275
01:06:44,565 --> 01:06:46,350
I always felt
like there's something

1276
01:06:46,393 --> 01:06:48,308
not a hundred percent
with Jocelyne.

1277
01:06:49,092 --> 01:06:50,658
I kind of started Googling her,

1278
01:06:50,702 --> 01:06:53,618
and, and then I found out
something in California

1279
01:06:53,661 --> 01:06:55,620
about a check being bounced

1280
01:06:55,663 --> 01:06:57,143
for like a large
amount of money.

1281
01:06:57,187 --> 01:06:58,884
And I started
putting two and two together

1282
01:06:58,927 --> 01:07:02,714
and was like, "Wow, Jocelyne
wasn't this big producer.

1283
01:07:02,757 --> 01:07:06,370
That Jocelyne has,
you know, a criminal past."

1284
01:07:07,501 --> 01:07:09,242
It was surprising,
I couldn't believe it.

1285
01:07:11,679 --> 01:07:15,292
Isn't that also the festival
where that "Shame on you, guys,
shame, shame."

1286
01:07:15,335 --> 01:07:16,641
-Chases her down the street.
-Yes.

1287
01:07:18,164 --> 01:07:19,905
[news reporter] Marie Castaldo
is the founder

1288
01:07:19,948 --> 01:07:22,299
and director of the Queens
International Film Festival

1289
01:07:22,342 --> 01:07:24,518
but some say she's a con artist.

1290
01:07:24,562 --> 01:07:28,479
[man] They're ripping off, uh,
four vendors of some $14,000.

1291
01:07:28,522 --> 01:07:30,524
You had the Narrowsburg
Film Festival.

1292
01:07:30,568 --> 01:07:33,136
-You left a trail
of bad debts there?
-No, that's not me.

1293
01:07:33,179 --> 01:07:34,789
[news reporter]
And before Narrowsburg

1294
01:07:34,833 --> 01:07:37,314
she was in California
calling herself

1295
01:07:37,357 --> 01:07:40,404
Marie Rousseau,
and Marie Jocelyne Plante.

1296
01:07:40,447 --> 01:07:44,538
She left owing
$40,000 in unpaid judgments

1297
01:07:44,582 --> 01:07:46,323
at the Hollywood Film Festival.

1298
01:07:46,366 --> 01:07:47,846
Actually, can I
tell you something?

1299
01:07:47,889 --> 01:07:49,021
-Yes.
-You do not know much,

1300
01:07:49,065 --> 01:07:50,631
uh, and I'm really sorry to see

1301
01:07:50,675 --> 01:07:51,589
that you're a reporter.

1302
01:07:52,155 --> 01:07:55,201
She has zeroed in
on the fact that

1303
01:07:55,245 --> 01:07:59,640
filmmakers want to show
their films and they're even
willing to pay.

1304
01:08:00,163 --> 01:08:02,339
-We bought, uh, the C package.
I figured that--
-How much--

1305
01:08:02,382 --> 01:08:04,515
-How much is it?
-It was like $200
for the C package.

1306
01:08:04,558 --> 01:08:05,951
-200 dollars?
-Yeah.

1307
01:08:05,994 --> 01:08:08,301
Okay, to see your own film?

1308
01:08:08,345 --> 01:08:10,129
-To see our own film!
-[both laughs]

1309
01:08:10,173 --> 01:08:11,609
If you get good enough people

1310
01:08:11,652 --> 01:08:13,350
that are willing to
pay to show their films,

1311
01:08:13,393 --> 01:08:16,440
you can have a festival
and if you have a festival,

1312
01:08:16,483 --> 01:08:18,137
then you can get sponsors.

1313
01:08:18,181 --> 01:08:19,617
And if you've got sponsors,

1314
01:08:19,660 --> 01:08:21,793
then you can
charge ticket admission,

1315
01:08:21,836 --> 01:08:23,882
and the money
just keeps coming in.

1316
01:08:23,925 --> 01:08:25,623
This is her specialty.

1317
01:08:27,712 --> 01:08:29,888
[Michael] I think
she had a genuine wish

1318
01:08:29,931 --> 01:08:32,020
of wanting to be
important in the film world.

1319
01:08:32,978 --> 01:08:35,807
I don't think she did
film festivals to con people.

1320
01:08:35,850 --> 01:08:38,157
I think she
wound up conning people

1321
01:08:38,201 --> 01:08:40,333
because, you know,
we're in the indie film world.

1322
01:08:41,291 --> 01:08:43,423
There's always
dreams out of more and bigger

1323
01:08:43,467 --> 01:08:45,382
than there is
reality of making it happen.

1324
01:08:46,034 --> 01:08:48,080
[dark whimsical music]

1325
01:08:55,740 --> 01:08:59,396
I can honestly say,
you fooled me.

1326
01:09:00,005 --> 01:09:02,529
Everybody invested,
I gave her the money.

1327
01:09:03,922 --> 01:09:07,534
It's gone, I can't say
how she did it.

1328
01:09:08,318 --> 01:09:10,885
[somber music]

1329
01:09:11,538 --> 01:09:14,498
[producer] Do you feel like you
actively deceived anyone?

1330
01:09:14,541 --> 01:09:17,153
That I actively
deceived anyone? No.

1331
01:09:18,154 --> 01:09:22,767
So I understand that, you know,

1332
01:09:22,810 --> 01:09:25,813
there is all this money,
or there is a pattern

1333
01:09:26,466 --> 01:09:31,558
but do not try to make me feel
like I am the evil person.

1334
01:09:31,602 --> 01:09:34,213
Mistake
were made from all party,

1335
01:09:34,257 --> 01:09:38,174
so everyone needs to
take their responsibility.

1336
01:09:38,652 --> 01:09:40,915
These people
call themself my friends

1337
01:09:40,959 --> 01:09:43,527
when the wind was
shifting the wrong way,

1338
01:09:43,570 --> 01:09:47,879
they were gone but then
when the wind was
shifting back the good way,

1339
01:09:47,922 --> 01:09:49,576
then they were back.

1340
01:09:49,620 --> 01:09:51,622
I am sorry, I prefer myself...

1341
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,583
even so all of these
look bad, I prefer myself,

1342
01:09:56,627 --> 01:09:59,195
I do not shift winds, okay?

1343
01:09:59,238 --> 01:10:03,024
And stop saying
that I am that evil person

1344
01:10:03,068 --> 01:10:05,418
because I can say a lot more

1345
01:10:05,462 --> 01:10:07,290
about each and
every one of them.

1346
01:10:07,333 --> 01:10:08,987
I am a nice person.

1347
01:10:09,596 --> 01:10:11,337
I'm just going to stop at that.

1348
01:10:13,470 --> 01:10:15,994
[light music]

1349
01:10:22,957 --> 01:10:26,918
We want to think that if
a disaster happen, you know,

1350
01:10:26,961 --> 01:10:29,268
we will help on each other

1351
01:10:29,312 --> 01:10:33,098
but I do not believe,
I think everyone just
run for themself, you know.

1352
01:10:34,969 --> 01:10:38,973
Coming from Africa,
doesn't surprise me at all,

1353
01:10:39,017 --> 01:10:42,629
the strong eats the weak,
uh, you know, lion, uh,

1354
01:10:42,673 --> 01:10:46,242
you know, zebra that is wounded
and you will go for it.

1355
01:10:47,808 --> 01:10:49,375
That's how I see people,
you know.

1356
01:10:50,071 --> 01:10:51,899
When you're strong,
people go with you,

1357
01:10:51,943 --> 01:10:53,945
and when you're weak,
they go against you.

1358
01:10:53,988 --> 01:10:56,817
[soft, dark music]

1359
01:11:04,825 --> 01:11:06,479
[birds chirp]

1360
01:11:23,366 --> 01:11:28,066
The first time I saw
Four Deadly Reasons
was long after we had shot it.

1361
01:11:28,675 --> 01:11:30,808
It was screening at
the Tribeca Screening Room.

1362
01:11:31,678 --> 01:11:33,811
It was above
the Tribeca Bar and Grill.

1363
01:11:35,465 --> 01:11:37,684
[dreamy chorus music]

1364
01:11:47,085 --> 01:11:49,435
[uneasy music]

1365
01:11:56,399 --> 01:11:59,750
The life, you know
what I'm talking about.

1366
01:12:01,186 --> 01:12:04,842
Sooner or later,
it either puts you behind a wall

1367
01:12:05,843 --> 01:12:07,192
or under the ground.

1368
01:12:08,715 --> 01:12:11,239
[Paul] So I called up the
Tribeca Screening Room and said,

1369
01:12:11,283 --> 01:12:13,067
"Hey, I'd like to
book such and such date and,

1370
01:12:13,111 --> 01:12:14,939
you know, 7:00 p.m.
or whatever it was."

1371
01:12:15,679 --> 01:12:17,898
It was the opening night
of the Tribeca Film Festival.

1372
01:12:19,726 --> 01:12:22,120
I never told anybody that it was

1373
01:12:22,163 --> 01:12:24,296
part of the Tribeca Film
Festival, I never lied,

1374
01:12:24,340 --> 01:12:27,647
I just said
we're having a premiere
at the Tribeca Film Center.

1375
01:12:27,691 --> 01:12:29,301
It's opening night
of the Tribeca Film Festival.

1376
01:12:31,825 --> 01:12:36,830
I paid, I think,
$200 for an actual red carpet.

1377
01:12:39,485 --> 01:12:42,140
And we played it for a packed
audience, 300 people.

1378
01:12:42,923 --> 01:12:45,578
[uneasy, whimsical music]

1379
01:12:46,579 --> 01:12:49,234
I just wanted to be
a filmmaker and get a movie made

1380
01:12:49,277 --> 01:12:51,802
but it got so much more complex.

1381
01:12:52,368 --> 01:12:54,239
Richie, he was in jail.

1382
01:12:55,458 --> 01:12:56,894
So I made a deal with
the Castellanos,

1383
01:12:56,937 --> 01:12:58,678
where Joe Dinki
and I did some rewrites

1384
01:12:58,722 --> 01:13:00,288
without him
in order to make it work.

1385
01:13:01,855 --> 01:13:05,076
Plans, they
never seem to work out.

1386
01:13:07,034 --> 01:13:10,298
Paul and I both
put our own money in it,
trying to save that movie.

1387
01:13:10,342 --> 01:13:12,388
But I said, "No,
I want to get this finished,
we're going to do it,

1388
01:13:12,431 --> 01:13:13,737
we're going to do
the right thing by everybody."

1389
01:13:15,042 --> 01:13:17,262
And it has five scenes
that I'm very proud of.

1390
01:13:18,176 --> 01:13:20,483
Bank robbery, there's strippers,

1391
01:13:20,526 --> 01:13:22,572
there's mob actors
eating ice cream.

1392
01:13:22,615 --> 01:13:23,964
Shit!

1393
01:13:24,443 --> 01:13:26,663
[Paul] And I had this whole
thing about palindromes.

1394
01:13:26,706 --> 01:13:29,492
[Bobby] You're named Otto?
That's a palindrome.

1395
01:13:29,535 --> 01:13:30,928
You call me a fucking what?

1396
01:13:31,537 --> 01:13:33,191
[Bobby] You figure it out
for yourself.

1397
01:13:33,234 --> 01:13:35,541
A pa-- a palindrome?

1398
01:13:36,890 --> 01:13:40,590
You don't walk away after
calling me a fucking palindrome!

1399
01:13:41,721 --> 01:13:42,679
Hey!

1400
01:13:44,202 --> 01:13:46,117
[Zac] Oh, I was, um, the only
person from Narrowsburg

1401
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:47,074
at the screening.

1402
01:13:48,946 --> 01:13:51,818
Richie and Jocelyne weren't
there. Richie might--
I don't think--

1403
01:13:51,862 --> 01:13:54,952
I think Richie was out of jail
at that point, but he was
definitely not showing his face,

1404
01:13:54,995 --> 01:13:57,476
or-- where the-- you know,
in, in this crowd.

1405
01:13:58,521 --> 01:14:00,610
And then the last thing
I heard about Richie,

1406
01:14:00,653 --> 01:14:03,917
he called me and
said he was thinking about,

1407
01:14:03,961 --> 01:14:06,833
like, starting another
acting school

1408
01:14:06,877 --> 01:14:10,315
and, and whether or not
I would be interested

1409
01:14:10,358 --> 01:14:13,536
in, like, helping him
out and doing it with him.

1410
01:14:15,363 --> 01:14:19,193
I mean, had I been like,
"Yeah, man, that would be
awesome, let's do it!"

1411
01:14:19,237 --> 01:14:22,458
I mean, I think that maybe
there would be another sort
of chapter in this story.

1412
01:14:22,936 --> 01:14:24,329
[chuckles]

1413
01:14:25,548 --> 01:14:28,159
[pensive, whimsical music]

1414
01:14:30,466 --> 01:14:32,163
I don't think it was malicious

1415
01:14:32,206 --> 01:14:34,905
when he told me that
I was going to be a movie star.

1416
01:14:34,948 --> 01:14:36,994
I mean, I think it was
to try to make me feel good.

1417
01:14:37,908 --> 01:14:41,041
And I think he,
he liked conning people.

1418
01:14:41,085 --> 01:14:44,044
I mean, he-- to trick
somebody is, is addicting

1419
01:14:44,088 --> 01:14:46,743
and he was
certainly like a trickster

1420
01:14:46,786 --> 01:14:49,485
and a con artist,
that is absolutely true.

1421
01:14:49,528 --> 01:14:53,358
But that's different
than the excitement

1422
01:14:53,401 --> 01:14:55,403
that he got from telling people

1423
01:14:55,447 --> 01:14:57,275
that he was going
to put them in a movie.

1424
01:14:59,495 --> 01:15:02,193
Richie and Jocelyne
awakened this thing

1425
01:15:02,236 --> 01:15:03,847
and this love for making movies.

1426
01:15:04,412 --> 01:15:06,066
-Is this where we are?
-Right here, okay?

1427
01:15:06,110 --> 01:15:07,590
-We're right here, we're good?
-Okay.

1428
01:15:07,633 --> 01:15:09,417
That I believe that
these things are possible

1429
01:15:09,461 --> 01:15:11,463
is something
that Richie taught me.

1430
01:15:16,773 --> 01:15:19,515
[slow, pensive music]

1431
01:15:33,006 --> 01:15:35,095
[engine rumbles]

1432
01:15:52,678 --> 01:15:55,246
[Joe] The blur
between fantasy and reality,

1433
01:15:55,899 --> 01:15:57,335
we all fall prey to it.

1434
01:15:58,641 --> 01:16:01,992
There's a little bit of
Richard Castellano in all of us.

1435
01:16:03,167 --> 01:16:04,603
There's a little bit
of flimflam,

1436
01:16:04,647 --> 01:16:06,431
there's a little bit of wanting

1437
01:16:06,474 --> 01:16:09,956
so much and not
knowing how to get it...

1438
01:16:11,349 --> 01:16:15,135
and there's a little
bit of, of all this chicanery

1439
01:16:15,179 --> 01:16:18,225
that we all pull
from time to time.

1440
01:16:22,534 --> 01:16:25,232
[Brian] Had it been ready,
Four Deadly Reasons,

1441
01:16:25,842 --> 01:16:29,715
would he have been
arrested and put in prison?

1442
01:16:30,934 --> 01:16:31,935
I don't think so.

1443
01:16:33,763 --> 01:16:36,635
Sometimes,
people dream something

1444
01:16:36,679 --> 01:16:39,246
and because they're dream,
they just keep saying it,

1445
01:16:39,290 --> 01:16:41,379
and it suddenly
starts to become true.

1446
01:16:42,946 --> 01:16:44,774
So when is it a lie,

1447
01:16:45,731 --> 01:16:51,737
and when does the lie become
a real movie, a real thing?

1448
01:16:51,781 --> 01:16:54,218
[slow, pensive music]

1449
01:16:58,309 --> 01:17:01,181
[Zac] I often describe it
as, like, The Music Man

1450
01:17:01,225 --> 01:17:02,879
without the magical
happy ending.

1451
01:17:05,185 --> 01:17:06,970
Suddenly,
there were things to do

1452
01:17:07,753 --> 01:17:09,799
and things to be proud of.

1453
01:17:10,321 --> 01:17:11,975
Surely some
of you can be grateful

1454
01:17:12,018 --> 01:17:13,890
for what this man
has brought to us.

1455
01:17:15,805 --> 01:17:17,197
[Zac] The truth didn't matter.

1456
01:17:18,416 --> 01:17:21,549
It was just the possibility.

1457
01:17:23,029 --> 01:17:25,815
Possibility that
these things could happen.

1458
01:17:27,904 --> 01:17:30,646
[slow, pensive music]

1459
01:17:33,866 --> 01:17:35,912
[John Marchese] I mean,
I really have this theory that

1460
01:17:35,955 --> 01:17:39,567
the entire film business
is built on a scam.

1461
01:17:40,743 --> 01:17:42,658
There's still
people who are going to say,

1462
01:17:42,701 --> 01:17:45,530
"We lost money,
we were embarrassed,

1463
01:17:45,573 --> 01:17:47,706
yet we'll be able to
tell this story

1464
01:17:47,750 --> 01:17:49,099
for the rest of our lives.

1465
01:17:49,577 --> 01:17:53,712
We were ripped off in such
a bizarre and unusual way

1466
01:17:53,756 --> 01:17:55,366
that it was worth it."

1467
01:17:56,497 --> 01:17:58,674
How often do you get
to tell a story like that?

1468
01:18:02,373 --> 01:18:04,854
[Richie] Narrowsburg is
a sleepy, beautiful town,

1469
01:18:04,897 --> 01:18:06,377
I love, I still love it.

1470
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,293
And there's still people
want me to come back,

1471
01:18:09,336 --> 01:18:12,209
they said, "We wish Castellano,
Richie was back up here.

1472
01:18:13,166 --> 01:18:15,125
He made the place alive."

1473
01:18:17,214 --> 01:18:19,564
Like people say, "Rich,
how many people in this world

1474
01:18:19,607 --> 01:18:22,349
can say they've
done what you've done?"

1475
01:18:23,263 --> 01:18:27,833
You know, if I should
die walking out this door,

1476
01:18:27,877 --> 01:18:29,443
I'd die with a smile on my face,

1477
01:18:29,487 --> 01:18:30,880
I'm not afraid of death.

1478
01:18:32,098 --> 01:18:35,058
You make movies and
they live on, and on, and on,

1479
01:18:35,101 --> 01:18:38,061
so when you do pass on,
you go hang out with God,

1480
01:18:38,931 --> 01:18:40,454
you're still alive down here.

1481
01:18:43,501 --> 01:18:45,895
[slow, pensive music]

1482
01:18:53,380 --> 01:18:56,122
[upbeat orchestral music]

1483
01:19:30,548 --> 01:19:33,943
[upbeat, playful music]

1484
01:19:34,595 --> 01:19:36,380
The story is so fascinating

1485
01:19:36,423 --> 01:19:39,818
that there were like
a jillion different ways

1486
01:19:39,862 --> 01:19:42,255
that it could be told. And I...

1487
01:20:45,928 --> 01:20:48,191
Feeling fucking
lucky now, Sapiro?

1488
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,541
Dad, stop, please don't do this.

1489
01:20:50,584 --> 01:20:53,022
I got four
fucking reasons for you.

1490
01:20:54,327 --> 01:20:56,329
Four fucking deadly reasons.

1491
01:20:56,373 --> 01:20:59,028
[dark, playful music]
