Synopsis: Jason, a charismatic Jewish/Italian New Yorker, appears to be just another successful entrepreneur, owning a chain of bustling tanning salons. However, there’s more to Jason than meets the eye. While the salons are a front for his legitimate business, it is the hidden world behind the back door that truly defines him.

In the depths of each salon lies a secret doorway, leading to a clandestine nightlife where high-stakes players gather to unleash their inner demons. This hidden realm attracts a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique set of vices and secrets.

Jason, known as “The Tan Man,” is the mastermind behind this underground operation. With his sharp wit and street smarts, he navigates the treacherous world of high-stakes gambling, where fortunes are won and lost with every turn of a card. As the players come and go, Jason's true power lies in his ability to read people, exploiting their weaknesses for his gain.

But as the stakes rise, so do the risks. Jason finds himself entangled in a web of deceit and danger, as his past demons threaten to resurface. With the line between his two worlds blurring, Jason must confront his inner darkness and make choices that will determine his fate.

“The Tan Man” is a gripping tale of ambition, temptation, and redemption. It explores the complexities of human nature and the lengths one man will go to protect his empire. As Vinny’s worlds collide, the film delves into the consequences of leading a double life and the sacrifices one must make to find redemption.

With its compelling characters, thrilling plot twists, and a unique blend of light and darkness, “The Tan Man” promises to be a captivating cinematic experience that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats until the final reveal.

Every actor needs a demo reel, but they also need IMDB work credits.  At Sound Tree Entertainment, we produce award-winning films developed and brought through demo reels.

How does it work? 
An actor sees a film concept we are developing and commits to a demo reel.  With the director and writers, we then meet with the actors and develop the characters together.  Then we film the scenes.  The actor gets their demo reel, but the producers compile each of the scenes together and finish the entire story, then release it to festivals for potential awards for the film and the lead actors. 

Will I earn an IMDB credit by working on this project?
Absolutely, each actor who participates in the project will earn an IMDB credit. 

Once released, will I be invited to film festivals and screenings?
Yes, once the film is completed, the producers will submit the project to festivals around the world.  The cast & crew are invited to attend, at their own expense, the festivals that the producers attend. 

How successful is this concept?
So far, we have produced four projects and all four (4) have won multiple awards including Best Short Film, Best Director, Best Producer, Best Film Poster, Best Actor, and Best Original Song.
