I wish you all the best for your stay in the hospital! Hope it will go over quick and smooth!

Do you have any information to share already on how the KR studios you want them to be set up?
Or what you plan to do with having your own studios? - other than shoot in them yourself of course :)
Sounds like a big plan....

Good luck on partnering up with the others!

take care and be well!

Thanks Patrick, it should be very short, just tests mostly to re-arrange the medications.

All I can say right now, not to derail this thread out of EPIC M, is that KETCH ROSSi STUDiOS will be first opened in its HQ facility in Northern ITALY,
will be intended to be the most revolutionizing Studios ever created, State of the Art will get to a new level and this is by no joke or exaggeration
a NEW ERA type of facility, which will also serve as a FREE Cinema and Photography School for Global attendee's, Hundreds of them per year,
and that we will have various location across the Globe with various Partners, will be most likely 90% a facility that will operate on RED Cameras,
and most importantly, by donating 50% of all its yearly profits, it will support its Sister Non Profit Organization, KETCH ROSSi HUMANiTAS.


For anything else, it wil have to wait for the info to be fully disclosed on our company's site. KETCH ROSSi STUDiOS

Curious about this Ketch -- is it because Milan and other Northern cities are closer to all the high fashion that takes place in Italy ... which I
could understand since still/motion photography of models is a big part of what you do?

I also ask because it seems the more Southern parts of Italy have nicer climates (like Rome, Tuscany, etc) .... but maybe you are tried of the "always warm" weather of California with no season changes ;)

Either way, I cant wait to see it and visit ...

Partly yes Anthony, but when I say Northern Italy I mean from Rome up, so it will likely be in between Rome and Florence.
 
Your story is truly inspiring Ketch, best of wishes on the rest of your journey

I've lived in a few different places in Italy, and if I could choose, I'd pick Tuscany (though I'm totally in love with Rome). From what I understand about your plans/ideas, Tuscany sounds like the best choice, both professionally and for quality of life, and the countryside near Siena would be my #1 choice. But that's me.... :-)

Ha ha, so funny Francesco, I have in fact taken Siena in serious consideration, and was just mentioning that to Jarred couple days ago at RED Studios Hollywood... we'll see... ;)

Dai che ci vediamo presto in Italia.. ;)

For life style quality certainly, but professionaly I'm not convince, I'm around Siena since 1997, it is really the country side here.
Anyway I'll be happy to see some serious player coming into my area.
Salve
 
Thing is that the Studios will demand that all interested in working with us, come to us, we will not go to any one,
so what will be most important is life style presented and offered to the people that will leave and work at the studios facilities,
as well as of course make sure that this location is set in such a place that it is easy to get in meaning of transportation.
Not too far from Airport, Train station, main freeway access etc.

Let me know, I got some good contacts in the area, I lived there for almost 10 years, before moving to Rome.

Brice, I don't know who you usually work with or what's your market, but the area around Siena is VERY lively when it comes to moving pictures and photo shoots. Every once in a while you get the medium/big Hollywood movie, but the amount of commercials shot in that area is pretty big. Granted, there are no real sound stages (after all, Cinecittà is 2 hours aways, and there are some smaller ones in Florence, 50 minutes away from Siena), or big rental houses (again, most gear is rented in Rome, Florence or Bologna), but there's a pretty good production infrastructure. I've worked in Tuscany many times, and before moving to Rome I worked on many commercials and 4 feature films in 3 years.

While I know nothing about Siena, I think Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Warm, lush, close to mountains and water, reasonable driving distance to both Rome and Florence. It's on my dream list of places to live.

Eager to see what you find out Ketch :)

Anthony
 
Thing is that since we will also be serving the entire European community, and not just for our Studios offerings, as far as Motion Pictures,
High End Commercials etc. but also few surprise announcement that will be made later on, so for this we look to be some were in a favorable position to that as well,
and Tuscany is in deed number one Region in my list... ;)

Ha ha, this time I only started taking pictures, but as son as I opened the Laser Custom Cut Foam Pelican case, that was it,
I never picked up the Photo camera to take other shots, especially once I sow the new build and a 1fps Option!!!

I immediately went to set up the cam and test for the next Fashion Shoot.

So only 3 pictures were taken, he he.

Ketch, have you spent much time in Milan before? What are your feelings about it?

Anthony, you should definitely put Siena on your "to visit" list next time you're anywhere near Tuscany (or even Rome). It's truly breathtaking. As much as I love Rome, I try to go back to Siena any chance I get, whether it's for fun or work.
I've attached 2 pictures I've taken a while ago: first one is "downtown" Siena, with the main piazza, the second is the backyard of a farm owned by a friend of mine, 15 minutes ride from the town :-)


(I apologize for posting off-topic stuff, Ketch) ;-)

Main goal for our Studios, is a very large facility, to host not only the:
Cyclorama Rooms
Sound stages
Lighting department
Grip department
Editing suits
Coloring suits
Make Up and Air
Wardrobe
Machine Shop
4K 3D Imax Theater
Restaurant
Pizzeria
Cappuccino Bar
Bad and Breakfast logging facility for 100

.... and the list goes on, but also needs to have a large in off room for the Monthly Charity Grand Gala events, so the search will not be an easy one
and even so I am definitely looking at possibly existing structures and historic buildings i the various Cities, this might only temporary accommodate our Studios needs,
and a brand new Building might be built form scratch, once the location has been chosen ... ;)
