If you get a chance to catch this film, you will be glad you did.” – VideoViews.org “This is precisely the sort of movie people who no longer go to movies often complain “they just don’t make anymore.”…The Village Barbershop is just as warm, humorous and ingratiating as it means to be, with solid work by all principal cast.” - Variety “With outstanding outings from Ratzenberger and Cole, The Village Barbershop lathers up a poignant piece of first-time filmmaking.” – Moving Pictures Magazine “Most of the time, The Village Barbershop is the little boutique movie at its finest; other times it’s the little boutique movie at its most crowd-pleasing.” – San Jose Metro “The cinematography is spot on…the editing is often quite remarkable…John Ratzenberger and Shelly Cole embody their characters and give the film all its charm.” – Film Threat “The Village Barbershop is a testament to under-appreciated star power; a wish for a world in which everybody knew John Ratzenberger’s name.” – The Warren Report “3 Stars. Recommended.” – Video Librarian monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP SHORT AND LONG SYNOPSIS GETTIN’ TO THE POINT (short) Art Leroldi is a fading Reno barber stuck in a rut of haircuts and horse books suddenly faced with a difficult decision. Give up the one thing he’s got left —his “man’s man” barbershop—or hire the last person on earth he’d ever want working there—a woman. TAKIN’ A LI’L MORE TIME (long) Art Leroldi is terminal. Terminally irritable, that is. A small-time Reno barber stuck in a rut of haircuts, hot dogs and horse books, he lives every day like a warmed-over version of the last. Hit with the unexpected death of his long-time business partner and last apparent friend, he’s faced with losing the only thing in life he’s got left—his “man’s man” barbershop. To keep it, he’ll be forced to hire the last person on earth he’d ever want working there —a woman, more specifically, Gloria MacIntyre, a spitfire young girl who suddenly finds herself unable to take Art’s "no" for an answer. This is the humorous, sweet story of a fading old man who’s lost his way and a determined young woman looking to find hers. Two unlikely people offered a second chance in one unlikely place— The Village Barbershop. monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT This film should still be in my desk drawer right now, a script shoved underneath a bunch of man junk and a Zip-lock™ bag full of dark chocolate that I keep hidden from my wife. But it’s not. It’s a film. So how did that happen? What defining feature of my personality allowed it to get out? To escape the drawer? Umm…I was naïve. Yep. Naïve. Completely clueless. Utterly unaware. A dope. Seriously. It’s funny. You read all these how-to books about making your first film—books that want to fill you up and tell you everything, but nowhere in any of them does anyone mention the substantial benefits of not knowing anything. And for me, it was the not knowing of filmmaking that made the not possible, possible. So where did this journey of blissful ignorance start? Specifically, in the summer of 2004. At the time I was a copywriter for a San Francisco advertising agency and we were shooting some commercials with a guy by the name of Ed Burns. Ed, or Eddy as everyone seems to refer to him, makes independent films, knows everyone at Peter Lugar’s Steak House in Brooklyn, and is married to a supermodel. In other words, for an ad guy, or anyone else for that matter, shooting commercials with Ed Burns is pretty cool. Now, commercial shoots aren’t like independent film shoots. Instead of looking to shoot five, six and seven pages a day, commercial guys are looking to shoot one. And usually it’s a short one. And on top of that, the money spent on a single thirty-second commercial could often fund a single, ninety-minute feature film. Long story short, there was plenty of money, and plenty of money means lots of time, and lots of time means lots of sitting around. Sitting around in casting. Sitting around on the set. Sitting around at restaurants and on park benches and in hotel lobbies. And when you sit, you talk, and when you talk, you talk about your wife and your kids and maybe after a few drinks you even talk about a script you have in your desk drawer shoved underneath a bunch of man junk and a Zip-lock™ bag full of dark chocolate that you keep hidden from your wife. “What’s it about?” someone asks. “This fading old barber,” I answer.“What happens?” someone else says. “His partner dies and he has to hire this crazy young woman to help him save his man’s man barbershop.” Lots of polite chit chat. More drinks. Not right for the studios. Not a script anyone would ever buy. Lots of me feeling stupid for bringing up movies to real movie guys. And then somebody, specifically Ed’s producer, Aaron Lubin, tosses off something like, “Why don’t you just shoot it yourself?” Now personally, I don’t know what the heck Lubin was thinking. The guy doesn’t really drink and he’s super grounded and seems to have everything under control, so as much as I wanted to, I couldn’t toss off the comment as completely crazy. I had to actually think about it and consider it and mull it over just long enough for it to get under my skin. And it stuck. It stuck hard. It had occurred to me to write the script. It had occurred to me to put it down to try and write something that was more “sellable.” But it had certainly never occurred to me to “Just shoot it myself.” But once Lubin said it, I knew that’s what I had to do. And luckily, I had no idea how to do it, where I would start, how long it would take or how hard it would be. Because, luckily, I possessed the single most important personality trait a first-time filmmaker can have: I was naïve. THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP FILMMAKER BIOS CHRIS FORD writer/director/producer This is my first feature film and the first thing I’ve directed. Aside from that, there are few things you need to know about me from a biographical standpoint. I was born in California, but grew up in Reno. My mom was a nurse and my father was in law enforcement. I graduated from Hunter Lake Elementary School, Swope Middle School, Reno High School and the University of Nevada, Reno, in that order. I am a group creative director at the advertising agency of Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco. My last name is neither Goodby nor Silverstein nor am I a partner, but I’ve been here for quite some time and it’s fun. I began writing The Village Barbershop in 1998 in response to overhearing a co-worker much older than I say, “Some day I’m going to write a script.” I decided to figure out how to make The Village Barbershop while shooting some commercials with Ed Burns and his producing partner, Aaron Lubin, who casually, over drinks of some kind, insisted it wasn’t that hard for a first-time director to make his first feature film. Principal photography for said barbershop movie began seven days after Laddie Richardson Construction cut the back half of my home off to begin what would become a nine-month remodel. This home, sans rear wall, is where my wife, Leslie, and our two children, Cole and Cameran, lived while I spent our summer vacation from said advertising agency going over budget on said “not that hard to make” first feature film. My favorite color is blue. I like Peet’s coffee. I have 67 pairs of tennis shoes. I’m 39 years old. I can’t dunk. I’m right-handed. I like pranks. I’m bad at sports with the exceptions of golf and snowboarding. I’ve probably misspelled a word somewhere in this bio. And after the whole home remodel/indie film summer vacation, I am, unbelievably, still married. monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP FILMMAKER BIOS JASON NEWMARK co-producer In June of 2004, Jason Newmark received a call from Chris Ford. Chris said he thought they should make the movie about the barbershop because some jokers from New York who he just shot some commercials with said it wouldn’t be that hard. Chris said Jason should help him produce it. At the time Jason wasn’t a producer. Jason was an editor. Nonetheless, he said yes. And though he worked hard raising money and worked hard during preproduction and hard during the shoot, it was that simple, effortless “yes” he uttered that really had the biggest impact on the film. Because what you need more than anything when you’re making your first movie, even more than money, is a guy who is willing to saddle up and ride into Comanche country with you. Technically speaking, Jason has been involved in film and television for over ten years. He got his start in community television in Reno, Nevada, in the early 90s directing live and taped shows, editing film and running studio and field cameras. He then moved on to Boston where he was a production assistant on two feature films— The Proposition (1998) and the indie hit Next Stop Wonderland—and later moved on to Los Angeles where he worked as a production assistant on Waking Up in Reno (ironically shot mostly in LA) with Billy Bob Thornton and Charlize Theron, and then as the second 2nd Assistant Director on The Deep End, with Tilda Swinton, which filmed in Lake Tahoe. Inbetween his work on these films, Jason pursued his true love —editing. So when he isn’t busy producing The Village Barbershop, that’s what he does. He lives Reno with his conservation biologist wife, Jen, and their two boys, Zach and Zander. monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP FILMMAKER BIOS CLIFF TRAIMAN director of photography Cliff Traiman has been involved with The Village Barbershop since October 2006 when he and his crack team traveled to Reno to shoot the investor trailer. What you won’t learn from his bio is the guy is as fast as he is fearless—not only will he put his camera anywhere, he’ll move it six ways to Sunday while lighting on the fly in order to get a director some crucial coverage, even with the AD yelling to move on. Beyond The Village Barbershop, Cliff works as a Director of Photography on commercial, industrial and narrative productions and has shot several feature-length films, including Broken Arrows (2005), Apartment 202 (2004), and Kung Phooey (2003), as well as the 2004 season of the nationally syndicated TV show, Ultimate Living. Before becoming a professional cinematographer, Cliff was the Chief Lighting Tech on Groove (2001) and Speakeasy (Project Greenlight 2, 2002). He has been part of the lighting and grip crew on films such as The Matrix II & III, The Game, What Dreams May Come, Sphere, The Rainmaker, Ed TV, The Wedding Planner and True Crimes. He lives in Northern California and is a partner in the world famous Little Giant Lighting & Grip Company. monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP FILMMAKER BIOS IAN MONTGOMERY editor Ian Montgomery cut The Village Barbershop. He cut it at his kitchen table. He cut it at work. And he cut it in a small closet that an unscrupulous real estate agent might refer to as a home office. He also cut it on Saturday and he cut it on Sunday; he cut it at Barbary Post and he cut it in hotel rooms at night while Chris was in L.A. shooting some commercials. He is also Australian. Which is worth mentioning only because, like most Australians, Ian seems to always have a proper perspective on life, which is quite good for brooding directors who tend to worry too much about stupid crap. Technically speaking, Ian has a Masters Degree in Film from the Australian Film School, one of the world’s most highly regarded film schools. He has edited over 20 short films, with screenings at festivals in Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Palm Springs, New York, Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco. He currently pays the bills and keeps a roof over his family’s head by cutting commercially for clients such as EA Games, Sega, Comcast, Nationwide, Adobe, and specs for Nike and Coke. He lives in San Francisco with his wife Steph and their two dogs. monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP FILMMAKER BIOS MICHAEL TREMANTE composer Michael Tremante began his film-scoring career working with Academy Award-winning composer Howard Shore. Michael’s credits with Mr. Shore include Associate Music Producer on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), which won the Academy Award for Best Original Score and won a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack Album. During his three-year tenure with Mr. Shore, Michael also worked as Music Co-Producer on David Fincher’s Panic Room (2002) and David Cronenberg’s Spider (2002) and assisted on Frank Oz’s The Score (2001), Tarsem’s The Cell (2000), James Gray’s The Yards (2000) and Arnaud Desplechin’s Esther Kahn (2000). As a producer, Michael has had the opportunity to record with orchestras around the world, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra as well as top session orchestras in Paris, New York and Los Angeles.

Michael’s educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from Union College and a Master’s Degree in Music Performance from the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College. monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP FILMMAKER BIOS NATALIE SANFILIPPO production designer Natalie grew up in Wisconsin. No, she never wore a cheese hat, unless that was the extent of her attire. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, the former Badger decided to broaden her horizons by wasting several months traveling around Europe. Soon after exhausting her funds and half the male population of Portugal, Natalie returned to the United States, where a chance meeting with Francis Ford Coppola fueled her fledgling design career and led to a feature on the cover of the New York Times Sunday Travel Section. Soon after, Natalie moved to Southern California where she began work as a production designer on several independent features, including The Still Life, Expired, Fool Me Once, A Beautiful Life, and, of course, The Village Barbershop. In between features, Natalie works on commercials and short films. She continues to travel internationally as much as possible, especially Portugal. JIHYUN KIM costume design/makeup The Village Barbershop had close to 50 speaking parts. That’s 50 people who needed to be brought to life, dressed, styled and made up. And you know what? Ji always got it right. Always. Each and every character she created makeup and wardrobe for was spot on. From Art’s uniform for life, to Gloria’s funky thrift store chic and Jacobi’s 70s slim-fitting suits, every character was better than the last. For a first-time director shooting six, seven and eight pages a day, it was an amazing gift I will never forget. In a past life, Jihyun studied Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. Today she looks for projects with tight scripts and opportunities to develop character roles. She relishes the research involved in breathing life into these two-dimensional characters. “They become real people to me with their own unique past, present and future. It’s my job to bring someone else’s vision to life and I pour my heart and soul into doing so.” monterey media… a uniquely independent studio THE VILLAGE BARBERSHOP CAST BIOS JOHN RATZENBERGER art An accomplished author, screenwriter, director, producer and two-time-Emmy-nominated actor, along with well-earned credentials as an entrepreneur and humanitarian, John Ratzenberger is known to international audiences as the host and producer of the hit Travel Channel show, John Ratzenberger’s Made in America, the know-it-all postman Cliff Clavin on Cheers, and as the only actor to voice a character in every film from the Oscar-winning Pixar animation team.
