SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED ONE SHOT
LaLa Land was a snapshot of a girl hoping to get a shot at stardom: “an actress pursues her Hollywood dreams for a few years.”
Whiskey will be the movie: getting her shot took three decades; a woman ages gracefully as she survives 25 years of Hollywood sexism, heartbreak and loss. But judgment day comes shockingly in an epic climax as WHISKEY finally gets her shot.
In perfect harmony with the zeitgeist, like Tarantino’s instaclassic, Whiskey mixes and matches real events and fiction. Auto- biopic vignettes of Leo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jared Leto create period piece slices of mid 90’s Hollywood, which lead up to
a present day industry insider story.
Whiskey will go down as the perfect chaser to these film masterpieces.
It's been 24 years at this writing (July 2019) since Matt Damon suggested to CeCe the idea of writing an autobiopic about her life as a struggling actress in Hollywood.
Yeah, the movie could have been made years ago but perhaps, like a good Scotch Whiskey, it needed to age a bit.

WHISKEY IN THE TIME OF COVID19
- ChristianVistaStudios has signed a 2-month option and script purchase agreement with KentuckyFilms, to produce, WHISKEY in 2020.
- Christian's vision, -to make mainstream Oscar winning films from a faith friendly foundation like Walt Disney’s vision, is on track with the latest news about this dynamic film project.
- Like Disney, Christian began as a talented sketch artist and has toiled in the background of almost 200 Hollywood film, TV and commercial productions where he learned how to make feature films fromgreats like Clint Eastwood, Sam Mendes, Cameron Crowe, Christopher Nolan and Tom Shadyac.
- Christian comes from a long line of Hollywood film professionals, starting with his grandfather who worked at Warner Brothers during the silent film era. Christian‘s Uncle worked for top Hollywood stunt flyers Paul Mantz and Frank Tallman, finally ending up as Walt Disney’s private pilot until Disney passed.
- It is this childhood inspiration/connection inspires Christian‘s dream of re-imagining what has grown into the most successful entertainment venture of all time but is not consistent with the founder original vision.
