On the Said with us I wrote a series of drafts of “Party Here” and they rushed in like champs to produce it and then, like a shining beacon of light, @jormataccone said he really wanted to direct said film and I was soaring into the sky “His enthusiasm for our team is like nothing else I’ve ever written and Jorma will make it so special and when the time is right, I can’t wait to tell you more.”

DNA will be released through Searchlight Pictures. A release date has not been set yet.
