Private Project

Casanoir

"Casanoir" is a parody of the 1942 classic movie, "Casablanca". It features NYC detectives Trillo & Suede - a ventriloquist and his wooden partner. Written and created by real-life ventriloquist Jonathan Geffner, who is also the lead actor and executive producer.

Please note: Crediting and correspondence should be to Jonathan Geffner: Writer/Creator/Executive Producer/Lead Actor/ Copyright Owner/Submitter

Attention Producers: I seek funding to produce a Trillo & Suede feature film that I wrote, While the Village Sleeps.
