Anthony Stella Productions is the production company started by writer, producer, and director John Martoccia. As an abstract expressionist painter, he came upon the realization that God had blessed him with the gift of creative arts, and that he should use his talent to spread the message of God and bring people to connect with their spiritual side and understand the true meaning of life. He is a religious person who attends daily mass, regular confession, scripture reading, and prayer. He was inspired to make films when he attended a film festival at a museum with his son.
Vito Bonafacci, which is the maiden venture of Anthony Stella Productions is made for the intelligent movie watcher. The film is very close to John because it is a reflection of his personal life experiences. It is largely about the conversion that took place within him. He believes that as humans we accumulate material possessions of the world to fill a spiritual void. We get so caught up in the little superficial things in life that we forget what the true purpose is. Vito Bonafacci is a character that everyone can relate to. John who has no technical skills realized during the making of this film how much of a collaborative process this is.
He admits that one of the most difficult things has been finding the cast for this film. Selecting the right actors to portray the characters was one of the most crucial aspects of making the film. They were important in passing on the particular message that the movie was trying to send to the audience. The story of Vito Bonafacci is that of a businessman who has accumulated much wealth and is leading a prosperous yet superficial life. One day he has a dream in which he has a heart attack, and this forces him to search deeper and look beyond the veil of materialism in which the rest of the world seems to exist.
Director John Martoccia believes that although his films are Catholic, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, and all other religions will be able to relate to them. If you are looking for Family Christian movies, or just good Christian movies, be sure to check out Vito Bonafacci and Death of a Tree by Anthony Stella Productions.
