Mr. Rossi,

What is this about you moving back to Italy by this summer? I thought you just opened up a studio in Vegas.

You can call me KETCH, and yes I did just opened a studio in Vegas, but also will open one in Italy and one in New Zealand, I hope :) it is just that I will be moving back to Italy permanently, as to take better care of my health, this will not mean that I can not keep the Studio in Vegas or that I will never return to America.

America is my Country as much as Italy is, so I'll always return for short trips, for Business or Pleasure!

ciao



 
Ketch,

Ahh I see. N.Z. is wonderful. Nice polite folks (unlike those Aussies) lol Only kidding. Been to both countries a couple of times and want to go back to both someday.
Heal up and hold the mayo.

Yes I did fallen in LOve with NZ ever since TLOTR, done much research, but nothing is for sure, as My health will be the one deciding for much of what my life will be form now on.

And don't worry, I don't use MAYO, only Extra virgin Olive oil:)

Thank you so much for your words and kind offer Imran, the Donation Page will be up soon, Tony is working on it, please keep checking the Main page on post #1-2 and 3 on the PERSEVERANCE thread as I will updating info regularly. BUT as far as Donation goes, I don't want money from my fellow REDUSERS, I like for you guys to help spreaad the word and raise the awarness of this project, and help in any way you can with your time, gear and knowledge of the art, when I'm shoting in a location near you.

Thank you again Imran.

Corrado, Bello, Lindirizzo e' qquello sulla pagina web.

Ti ringrazio per il pensiero.

I will take care of my self I promise, we have a lot of work to do for years to come once I'm back to Italy.

ciao,


 
Ketch, get well soon and take good care of yourself!
 
Go on, get well!
 
OMG, Ketch! You're an animal!!!

Seriously though, keep well. The world needs Ketch Rossi.
 
Ketch,

Why do you need to move back to Italy? Having lived in both countries for many years, I can tell you that the easiest place to find nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle advice and partners is the US. Good prosciutto, salami, formaggio and cheese are hard to find here but not impossible and every gym and care center is very advanced in the art of health and fitness even if Americans, as a whole, are the the fattest and unfittest people on earth :-) I have been a trainer for many years, so trust me, if you want to live healthy in good old USA, it is quite possible. Of course, you may just be missing la bella Italia, and who can blame you for that? Anyway, when Perseverance comes to Miami, you can count on me to donate my time as field producer, AD, or any other position you may have a need for.

Be strong, fight bravely, stay well,
 
Ketch,

Slow down take it easy....and no chasing girls for a while!

Get well Soon!

Thank you Rudi for your kind offer, will be posting a shoot list on #2 in the main Thread at Cinematography for PERSEVERANCE and start taking down locations and name of crew and cast for each.

The main reasons to go back to Italy, are:

I'm completely alone here, and every one in Italy has been trying hard to make me go back and or stay since the Kidney transplant four years ago, I can't continue to make those that care for me CRY.

I have and can't get any insurance and now including the new medications for the heart, I have about two thousand dollar of medication expenses per month, not counting the Doctors visits tests etc. that I will have to do every single month, on top I still need two important surgeries, one to have my left knee amputated and replaced with a knee implant, and the second to extract the bullet still imbedded in my back, all very costly, in Italy they will be completely free, as I'm handicap and I'm covered 100%, of course their will be also family to take care of the aftermath.

Food is definitely a big thing for me, especially now that my diet will have to be even more rigorous and strict, I have been suffering for food here for the past twenty years,m and never got accustom to it!

I love America, always did, and always will, I'll be missing this country more then you know, but I have no longer a choice, I must return home for good, even so this is also been my home for nearly half my life, and I will no doubt encounter new challenges moving back home, as I will be a Stranger in my own home after so many years away.

Thank you again for your offer Rudi, please posted in the PERSEVERANCE thread so to make a proper note of it.

Thanks Dave, but the real problem is exactly the opposite, the Doctor said that I need to let go of so many things that have been stressing me out and go CHASE SOME GIRLS ON THE STRIP!! :)


ciao



 
damn ketch, those strippers I sent over for new years were just suppose to excite you :w00t: Be well. Keep on pimpin.

Ketch, you do realize that trying to rush a feature film through production is so stressful that it could endanger you further?

Relax. Big time.
Click to expand...

Yes I do, but filmmaking to me, and just been working on my life long dream, will never stress me out, I will not let it, I want this to be the most enjoyable experience of my life, and will not allow for anything but to be a great work environment, fortunately I'm in charge of everything, and things will have to move forward at my pace :)

There is something abut been on set that is magical to me and brings peace in my heart, I just hope that the heart will last long in off to let me finished.

Thank you for your concern and support Joe, I appreciate that.
