ICYMI: Producers Chad A. Verdi and Peter Facinelli Film "Loosies" Sells Big at Toronto and AFM

Team Will Head to Berlin and Cannes in Early 2012 to Sell Final Territories; American Idol Finalist Paul McDonald's Music Rocks as "Loosies" Hits Theaters Jan 11, 2012 and Expands to Over 50 Million Households Through VOD

EAST GREENWICH, RI, Dec 08, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Verdi Productions (VP) announced today that its film "Loosies" has locked up over 24 overseas territories and the VP team will head to the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals in early 2012 for the film's final sales. Loosies is being released in theaters on Jan 11, 2012 through IFC Films and will expand to over 50 million homes on Video on Demand through major US cable distributors, as well as iTunes and the SundanceNow website.

"Loosies" tells the story of Bobby (Peter Facinelli, "Twilight"), a NYC pickpocket, who roams the city disguised as a stockbroker. He's handsome and charming, fitting in perfectly with the Wall Street types on the subway and downtown, but with no father and a mother who does not work, Bobby is forced to live a life of crime in order to make ends meet. The original soundtrack is composed and performed by American Idol alumnus Paul McDonald with an original score by Chad Fischer ("Garden State") with Michael Corrente directing.

Producer and CEO of Verdi Productions, Chad A. Verdi, stated, "In three months we will have locked up more than 24 overseas territories through CMG, have a VOD release that reaches over 50 million homes with the film hitting theaters Jan 11th through IFC films, this is as good as it gets." Verdi added, "Everyone at VP has worked very hard to make this all happen and the hard work is paying off. Peter and Jaimie were brilliant along with the rest of the cast and the film came to life with the music of American Idol star Paul McDonald."
