La Sorsa commenced Tuesday, October 19, 8:00 PM at the Norwood private club, New York. A special Q&A session with cast members Mario Cantone, Kevin Corrigan, and Chris Lynn preceded the CMJ 2010 Film Festival Opening Night Party with live performances by Paul & the Patients, and Your Vegas.

CIRCUS MAXIMUS is a comedy set in New York City about a well-known screenwriter/filmmaker Cal Neros (Julian McCullough) and his challenge to complete a major Hollywood screenplay “Circus Maximus” deadline over the weekend. As Murphy’s law goes on to say, anything that can possibly go wrong does in this dark comedy!
