In&#xD;<br \/>\nthe 1950&#x2019;s, the Salton Sea was a thriving resort destination, designed with the hope that it would one day rival Palm Springs. Today, rotting fish, abandoned motels, and retirees still holding onto the past are the only evidence of what had once been. A sea that once held promise, a relationship that once felt love and a country whose fate is yet to be determined; these are the characters of this contemporary western.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nA year ago, Michael Stevantoni (BFA\/Film Production &#x2019;18), began working on his first feature&#xD;<br \/>\nfilm script. The idea for the film was inspired by a trip to the Salton Sea in his freshman year. Soon after, he fell in love with the book<br \/>\n<em>Salton Sea<\/em><br \/>\n by George McCormick. He, along with&#xD;<br \/>\nproducer Gia Rigoli (BFA\/Creative Producing &#x2019;18), reached out to McCormick and acquired the&#xD;<br \/>\nrights to the book.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8517\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Salton-Sea-Poster-Art-by-Michele-Rosenthal.jpg\" alt=\"salton-sea-poster-art-by-michele-rosenthal\" width=\"580\" height=\"870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Salton-Sea-Poster-Art-by-Michele-Rosenthal.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Salton-Sea-Poster-Art-by-Michele-Rosenthal-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Salton-Sea-Poster-Art-by-Michele-Rosenthal-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Salton-Sea-Poster-Art-by-Michele-Rosenthal-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Salton-Sea-Poster-Art-by-Michele-Rosenthal-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Salton-Sea-Poster-Art-by-Michele-Rosenthal-1365x2048.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;In McCormick&#x2019;s work, the landscape becomes the main character and those who inhabit it are&#xD;<br \/>\nmere pieces of it; pieces of something far greater,&#8221; said Stevantoni. &#8220;It was unlike anything I had read before and I knew that I wanted to translate this to the screen.There&#x2019;s a clear parallel between the protagonist&#8217;s story and the state of America as a whole.&#x201D;&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\nWith plans to shoot in August 2016, the crew is well into pre-production.<br \/>\n<em>Salton Sea<\/em><br \/>\n will be&#xD;<br \/>\nfilmed in and around Yucca Valley, the Salton Sea, and Los Angeles, CA. Earlier this year, the&#xD;<br \/>\ncrew gathered in Mojave, CA and shot the opening scene of the feature film which takes place&#xD;<br \/>\nat a 1970&#x2019;s space shuttle landing. The enthusiasm and passion the entire cast and crew showed&#xD;<br \/>\nhas been integral in making the film and trying to secure the last of the financing.<br \/>\n<em>Salton Sea<\/em><br \/>\n will be the feature film debut for most of the crew.&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<br \/>\n&#x201C;With this film, I want to show the people and places Hollywood cowers from exploring, and&#xD;<br \/>\ncapture this location before it gives way to time completely,&#8221; said Stevantoni. &#8220;With few films having been shot out there, I will have full creative liberty to introduce audiences to the enchantment and heartbeat I know the Sea holds.&#x201D;&#xD;<br \/>\n&#xD;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8518\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/dodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2016\/05\/Jack-G.-Davis-Giovanni-Herrera-Photo-by-Ariana-Victor.jpg\" alt=\"Jack G.
