ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Salvatore Stabile (Writer/Director/Producer) completed his first feature film, Gravesend,
when he was 19 years old, which went on to attract the attention of Oliver Stone and
Steven Spielberg. Since then, the Brooklyn native has worked on several award
winning television shows, including The Sopranos and Rescue Me. His second
feature, Where God Left His Shoes stars John Leguizamo and was produced by Paul
Allen’s Vulcan Productions. The film will premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.
His inspiration for the film came from his own childhood family experiences.
Raised in an Italian-American working class family, Stabile cites Italian
neo-realism as his main influence as a filmmaker and is dedicated to making
films about the challenges of everyday life and people faced with difficult,
life changing, economic and moral decisions. Sal is currently in pre-production
with his third feature, which will be filming in New York this Fall.
