Who is Blood Cinema Entertainment?

In March of 2001 Louis Grimaldo and Vito Trabucco formed Grimaldo/Trabucco Productions in Bellaire, Florida.  The duo started pre-production for their first feature film called South Florida.  Production started late June and wrapped in November 2001.  The D.V. feature was shot primarily on the weekends and is currently making the film festival run.

Vito Trabucco then formed Blood Cinema to concentrate on his first love.  Bloody, Gory, (very marketable) Horror movies.   Listed below are the individuals that make the Blood Cinema experience happen.


Vito Trabucco

Vito has always been a huge film buff.  I would put him against anyone in a movie trivia contest.  During the early 1990s, Vito was approached by his brother to not just know about movies but to make them.  To Vito it seemed
like something too far from his reach living in Pittsburgh, PA.  He decided to make the move and immersed himself in the Florida indie film scene. 

When Vito arrived in Florida he was not involved with film right away.  He did a cable access variety show which was considered to be one of the best in the state by local television critics.  His time on the show was well
spent.  Vito learned quickly getting a hands on experience.  At the same time he read every respectable book about the technical side of the industry.

In 1999, Vito left television to create the international cult hit
Larry's Revenge.  This short film about a killer pickle was shot solely as a satire poking fun at the excess of garbage made today by many film makers.
    

During early 2001 Vito met Louis Grimaldo and started producing their first feature, South Florida.  Realizing there can be only one director, Vito took the responsibility of cinematography where he also got a chance to
master his skills on the stead cam.  Vito just wrapped up shooting on Blood Cinema's current project B Movie. 

Mark Terry

"The Symbol of Excellence" is the affectionate term to describe Mark Terry by his friends.  He has been renowned at the most active 23-year-old in the Florida film industry.

Mark started his film career in 1996 with a short he directed called Fists of Hope.  He went on to do a few other shorts until he started attending college at St. Leo University.  At St. Leo Mark managed to juggle his acting schedule while playing for the Monarch's basketball team.  

During 1999 a season ending knee injury left Mark not much left to do while he was in school.  He decided to involve himself with Theatre Playhouse 90 where he got the chance to act in nine plays in a three and a half years span.  His roles ranged from supporting to leads, and he even got the chance to play Norman Bates in TP90's on stage rendition of Psycho.

At this time if Mark wasn't acting in plays he was involving himself anywhere in the industry he could.  He worked at just about anywhere that had a camera from Home Shopping Network to the school's television show.
    

In the year 2000 Mark decided to try for a double major adding theatre to his already existing writing track.  Everything seemed to be going as well as it could for the young actor until his banner year of 2001 hit.  Mark took his talents outside Theatre Playhouse 90 involving himself in six projects outside. 

One of these projects was South Florida where he met Louis Grimaldo and Vito Trabucco and was cast in the lead role of Carlo.  Throughout the project mark helped as much behind the scenes as he did with his acting earning him a
producing credit on the film.

Mark recently graduated from St. Leo University with his double major in theatre and writing.  He is currently helping produce  Blood Cinema's next project and is slated to act once again.

Joe Trabucco 
contact

Joe graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in communications.  He was the anchorperson for IUP's television show for a number of years.   
    

He is much like the utility man on a football team he does just about everything and everything he does he excels at.  Joe got involved with South Florida to help fill a much-needed gap.  At the time Grimaldo/Trabucco Productions was struggling to find a reliable sound guy.  Joe read a few books on audio and took on the thankless job.  He also made few appearances in the film itself and all of them are very memorable.

Blood Cinema's next feature Ultimate Sin is co-authored by Joe and he will undoubtedly help somewhere in the production
