As you might have guessed, Tony is the father of Quentin Tarantino, a producer and director known well in the entertainment industry (and beyond) not only for his films, but, also, for his controversial opinions. Quentin is in no way associated with Tarantino Productions LLC. While there is a bit of a story on why that is the case, you can refer back to the first paragraph and understand that there is no harmony in political or social views between father and son. It’s important to know this because Tony’s current project is focused on and supported by the law enforcement community; in contrast to the reported comments and actions of his son. That project is Tony’s new labor of love.
This awarded and accomplished musician/composer/producer/director/screenwriter has been working hard on his most expansive, important, and courageous work. PRISM, is a screenplay inspired by true events highlighting the infiltration by a multi-agency task force detective into the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most notorious drug cartels in the world, but, also, the inner sanctum of El Chapo Guzman, who, in 2013, was named “public enemy #1” by the Chicago Crime Commission.
PRISM will bring to the forefront the cartel’s crimes of human trafficking, drug smuggling, and money laundering, as well as the targeting of border patrol agents and other law enforcement officers. Notable talent has already signed on to work on the production, but, the cast will also include seven real law enforcement officers from Texas. PRISM was slated to begin production late 2016, but, filming has been delayed due to funding hurdles. Undaunted, and endorsed by a multitude of United States law enforcement organizations, Tony continues working to get production underway, as soon as possible..
