Not only is the new movie featuring General Hospital’s Giovanni Maza (Gio) headed for the big screen, but it’s also making its way to the prestigious Sundance Film Festival!
“I’m excited to announce that the film I’m in, Sunfish, is going to Sundance 2025 to compete in the U.S. Dramatic category,” Maza shared on Instagram, along with some photos from the time he spent making the movie.
“I’m so honored and grateful to have worked with the amazing Sierra Falconer and everyone in the cast and crew of this beautiful feature film. What a great experience to be part of. Can’t wait for the world premiere—it’s truly one of a kind!”
Sunfish and Other Stories on Green Lake, the debut feature from writer/director Sierra Falconer, was shot on location at Green Lake in Interlocken, Michigan. It centers around the lives of the residents of a small town and the lake that brings them together:
- A girl learns to sail.
- A boy fights for first chair.
- Two sisters operate a bed and breakfast.
- A fisherman goes for the catch of his life.
The U.S. Dramatic Competition features the premieres of groundbreaking new voices in American independent film, and Sunfish is one of 10 movies competing in that category.
The cast also includes Jonathan Stoddard, Wayne Deval, Adam Lefver, Michaela Lucy, and Brooke Butler. Maza is playing the character Enzo, though there are no details yet as to which of the many intertwining storylines he will be featured in.
However, given the actor’s real-life skill with the violin, we would think he’d be part of the storyline with the boy competing for first chair.
Sunfish and Other Stories on Green Lake will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, which runs from Thursday, January 23, through Sunday, February 2.
