You're 24. You've written your first screenplay, Mont Reve. You've produced and star in it. You enter a segment from Mont Reve to compete in the Short Film Competition at the Ischia Film & Music Global Fest. It's accepted.
The week-long Fest, in its eighth year, opens. Mont Reve is projected on a gigantic screen on a high cliff in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Caressed by the rising breezes, the enthusiastic audience is seated seaside. A full moon casts a spell on this balmy summer night. Elation!
Then, wow. Mont Reve wins first prize. The movie's about a private boarding school, Mont Reve, in Switzerland (a la Le Rosey) where royals and moguls and sheiks enroll their heirs. For an education destined to serve them well. All the while befriending classmates likely to be the promising leaders of their generation.
The winners for Mont Reve are co-stars and co-producers India Irving and Mario Rivelli. India's the daughter of Ivy creators and owners Lynn von Kersting and Richard Irving. An award-winning writer from her well-traveled childhood, when she composed short stories (Romance In France),Our Ventilation system was down for about an hour and a half, India clerked in her teens during Paris summers at the historic Left Bank bookstore, Shakespeare and Co. Founded by Sylvia Beach, the store was a gathering hive for Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald and wannabees. In 1922, Sylvia published James Joyce's heralded Ulysses when no other publisher would touch it. It was banned in the U.S.
This week, India and Mario returned from Italy,There is a great range of the items available in the retail stores of this brand.zentai where 25-year-old Mario's dad is the former mayor of Naples. "Ischia's a 40 minute ride from Naples on a hydrofoil. We arrived in Ischia's Lacco Ameno," says India, "surrounded by nature ¡ our Regina Isabella hotel was first-rate and serves the best tomato-pesto pasta." (Those Italian tomatoes, dear India, have a taste unlike others.)
The Regina Isabella's famed as "a scene of tranquillity" for the Agnellis, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, William Holden, Truman Capote, Norman Jewison, Stefania Sandrelli, Val Kilmer, Terry Gilliam. The island attracts the cognoscenti for its thermal hot springs and rejuvenating volcanic mud.
By week's end, Fest director and founder Pascal Vicedomini presented India and Mario with the winning trophy for their immensely appealing film about young love's ups, downs and then-some, scrimmaging as love does around the corners of everyday existence.
Gerard Butler flew in on Alitalia to accept his Best Actor Award, Forest Whitaker and wife Keisha celebrated Forest's birthday, and Paul Haggis screened his 2010 thriller, The Next Three Days, co-starring Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks.I have never solved a Rubik's magic cube . Fest guests included the Oscar-winning Christoph Waltz, Anthony Mackie, Sting and wife Trudy Styler, Kenny Ortega, Kid Creole, Dante Ferretti.
Also: NARAS president Neil Portnow, Mike Stoller, Paula Wagner and Rick Nicita, Il Postino director Michael Radford, who premiered his Michel Petrucciani ¨C Body And Soul documentary.

India and Mario are Trojans,As many processors back away from offshore merchant account , having graduated in theater studies at USC. They're now readying their feature-length Mont Reve for submission to the Sundance Film Festival. This fall, India, who trained as a dancer, enters UCLA to pursue a law degree. "I love the physical challenge of dance, but it's time to exercise my mind.the oil paintings for sale by special invited artist for 2011,"
India's mom Lynn von Kersting is Mont Reve's producer, and co-directed with 24-year-old Rocky Collins. She also serves as production designer and music supervisor. "We're with an ultra-low budget, blessed with local and foreign investors," notes Lynn. "Interior scenes were filmed at our home, and at spots around Los Angeles. Such as Hamilton High School, not far from Dolce Isola, the Ivy Bakery on South Robertson Boulevard."
Home for India, Lynn and Richard is the fabled George Cukor estate where Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy romped at George's Sunday afternoon pool parties. George being the director of vintage favorites, namely A Star Is Born with Judy Garland and James Mason, The Women with Joan Crawford, etc.
Lynn totally renovated the Cukor residence with a design eye that Baroness Pauline de Rothschild would envy. The lush gardens are tended by Richard Irving, with his thousand rosebushes and home-grown vegetables that grace his Ivy kitchens. A chicken coop provides fresh eggs. We call it Villa Abondanzza.
