It takes a long time to make a movie, and I am not exaggerating when I write these words.

It was back in October 2020 when we started making plans to shoot our pilot film. Then in November 2021, we were greenlighted to make the feature film.

Last February, we were knee-deep in preproduction meetings and listening to the table reads with our amazing cast members. It’s been a heck of an experience to see my novel transformed into a full-length 105-minute film.

Of course, none of what has happened would have been possible without so many talented filmmakers involved with the project.

Andrew Arguello, our cinematographer, and co-director is nothing short of a film editing genius.

MJ Palo is a phenomenally talented, award-winning screenwriter and director. I am so fortunate she agreed to be the engine and driving force behind Target List. What can I say other than sometimes you get lucky, and things fall into place?

So, I wanted to give everyone here at NoFakeNews an update on where we sit on February 20, 2023, concerning the movie.

The film is finally complete! I never thought I would be able to say that sentence. But I can and I will; Target List is out of the studios and headed to distribution. In fact, as I am writing this post, the film’s files are en route to US distribution channels, and the US release of our film will be taking place between March and April of this year.

The foreign distribution rights for the film are currently being worked out. I hope to be able to share a firm release date for the US platforms within the next couple of weeks. The foreign release dates will be announced here as soon as we have that information.

Once again, I wanted to thank all of the visitors frequenting NoFakeNews for their emotional and, in some cases, financial support of this enormous project.

Making Target List has been the highlight of my creative writing career. The fact that the story also shines a light on the dirty machinations of big pharma is the icing on the cake for me.
