TORONTO – DEC 13, 2006 - Platinum Image Film is proud to announce that Looking for Angelina, directed by Sergio Navarretta and filmed entirely in Sault Ste. Marie, will be available for purchase for the Christmas Season at Algoma's Water Tower Inn starting Saturday December 16th for $25.

The DVD includes a behind-the-scenes documentary, Angelina Found that reveals new discoveries on what happened to Angelina!

The director, Sergio Navarretta, will be at the Water Tower to autograph copies of the film on Saturday December 16 between 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., and 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Keeping with their mandate to produce socially conscious product, Platinum Image Film will donate ten percent of all sales towards assisting local domestic violence agencies.

Algoma's Water Tower Inn has generously agreed to match this donation.

In the past year Looking for Angelina has won three awards, and has been in official selection at several film festivals around the globe, including the Montreal World Film Festival, the International Film Festival of India and Cimameriche Film Festival in Genova, Italy, and has enjoyed a successful theatrical release in numerous Canadian cities.

Looking for Angelina has also been utilized by a number of social organizations, police forces, universities, associations and unions to facilitate discussions around important social issues.

Continuing this journey, a portion of all proceeds from DVD sales will go back into the community to help stop domestic violence.

Looking for Angelina is based on the true story of Angelina Napolitano (Lina Giornofelice), a 28-year-old Italian immigrant and mother of four, who killed her abusive husband Pietro (Alvaro D'Antonio) in Sault Ste. Marie's "Little Italy."

Shot in 14 days entirely on location in Sault Ste. Marie, and with the help of hundreds of local talent, this period piece film is in half English and half Italian (authentic Neapolitan dialect) with English subtitles and marks the first time the story is being told on screen.

Looking for Angelina was made possible with a number of in-kind sponsorships and funding from the OMNI/Rogers Media Independent Producers Initiative.
