Pray with a Bullet Budget: $30M+ | Thriller In the midst of a bloody New York gang war, a love triangle develops between two cops and a mysterious, art loving assassin; "PRAY WITH A BULLET" is an opera sung to bullets instead of music; imagine the style (and violence) of John Woo's "The Killer" or Luc Besson’s “Leon: the Professional.”

The Lost Treasure of the Mayans Budget: $30M+ | Action ⋄ Adventure A comic-action-adventure film in the vein of Indiana Jones, the treasure hunting game had gotten very sour (and black & blue) for Mick, but nonetheless, he’s back in Mexico, helping an idealistic yet very feisty woman return a sacred object to the indigenous Mayans; the humans who want to stop them are very bad indeed, but nothing compared to the evil Jaguar War Goddess and her minions.

All Things Chicken (
2014 )
Film (short) by Julius Galacki (Comedy and Drama) Director, Writer, Producer, Actor, Camera and Electrical Department, Miscellaneous Crew In a modern wasteland of diner divers, apartment stoops and bedroom floors, two guys are stuck, so they pass the time by talking about profound things in profoundly foolish ways. (It is in essence, my version of 'Waiting for Godot.') '...CHICKEN' is both a comedy drama about how NOT to live one's life yet also a paean to the saving grace of friendship. Written by Anonymous -
First Night (
2010 )
Film (short) by Julius Galacki (Comedy and Romance) Director, Writer, Producer, Set decorator "First Night", based on the short play of the same name also by Julius Galacki, is a neurotic comedy finding Thomas and Sarah in bed, after having sex for the first time with less than stellar results. Nonetheless, they fumble in and out toward a positive degree of post-coital communication - enough to find out that the second time is always better... well, at least a little bit.
