As Vinny Paz Epic Wraps Up, EG Film Company Sets Sights on Taiwan

East Greenwich Verdi Productions announced Friday that their current project about the remarkable career of champion boxer and Rhode Island Icon Vinny Paz, ”Bleed for This,” has wrapped.

A passion project five years in the making, Chad and Michelle Verdi thanked everyone involved in the effort behind the film.

“I want to thank all the people that were involved and helped make this film happen. Especially the thousands of extras that came out and supported us for the three fight scenes. Without them, this film was not possible. All the major oversea territories for the film are already sold to a major distributor and I expect the domestic rights to sell in early 2015.”

Verdi Productions’ next project is Silence and is already in pre-production. It stars Liam Neeson, Andrew Garfield, and Adam Driver with Martin Scorsese directing. Silence is being filmed in Taiwan. The story takes place during the seventeenth century where two Jesuit priests face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to locate their mentor and to spread the gospel of Christianity. Chad and Michelle Verdi who are executive producers on the film plan to be on set in early March 2015.
