| The 'Garbo' Teasers |
|
| INTRODUCTION |
In 2008, two little teasers for a possible ‘Garbo' feature-film were made by actress Yelena Popovic and producer Alexandros Potter. The first teaser was directed by Geoff Browne and produced by Francis Testa and Jorge Berlanga for Simeon Entertainment Production and it shows Yelena Popovic as Garbo aswell as real Garbo footage mixed together into one little film.
The second teaser was directed by Italian director, writer and photographer Ketch Rossi. The director was asked to do this little piece of art for the Popovic/Poter team. Rossi's teaser was much appreciated by the producers. The truly wonderful piece of work is Rossi's directorial debut and was shot in one day with a mini budget, on a beautiful Downtown LA penthouse hotel set in the twenties.
It is unknown if the film will be made one day. The production may be was put on hold until they find a more known director, to give their project some weight in Hollywood.

SYNOPSIS |
The story depicts Garbo's time in Hollywood, from being nurtured by Swedish director Mauritz Stiller to her eventual decision to leave for good. It is a doomed romance, a love triangle, a saga of the various men who tried to control her. It is a battle between art and studio system, battle of talented people that reached fame and were crushed, a battle of a soul whose eyes were set on higher things who had no choice but to break free from vanity and fame.
