This is a new product available from Pennylane Productions, where the bride and groom are cast in a real motion picture written by us. (no acting experience required) – THIS IS NOT ONE OF OUR WEDDING FILMS. THIS IS A CONCEPT FILM OPTION STARTING AT $25,000
The Key” was written by Adam Forgione, Bobby Shortle, and RJ Weyant. This concept film began as a vision from the moment Adam met with his wedding client Linda and Mark Spencer. The were up for something different and the light bulb went off for Adam after recently watching his friend Kevin Shahinian’s feature film “Sno.”
The screenplay was written from scratch three times. The last one (this one) was conceptualized and finished days before the first scheduled shoot which was a good way to start off the stressful adventure.
Everyone involved was amazing and inspirational. We hope you enjoy!

Fabulous! Congratulations!
Very nice Adam, very nice. You were smart to have Kevin look at your script & suggest you re-write it. Every great script could use a re-write. My wife, Laura once wrote “Story is the momentum that draws viewers outside of themselves and into the experiences of others.”
Your story drew me into the characters – great job
Wow, love it, love it, love it! I especially like the way you have left in the out takes, makes you appreciate the movie even more. Well done to you and the team. Beats the normal type of pre-wedding shoot by far! Congratulations.
dude. what an upgrade from the SDE…!!! That was cool. That camera is sick, awesome shots. Especially the one above the city looking down. I think you are starting a new trend for Pennylane! Best of luck to the groom and bride. Welcome to the Pennylane Family.
WOW! That’s all I have to say.
Journeyman effort all around!!!!! Well written, well directed, well produced.
“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed. The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.” Stanley Kubrick
That’s what you do. And do very well. Great concept and best wishes for continued success!
You guys are simply AMAZING!!! The couple is truly lucky to have such a unique piece of art to call their own.
Hey Adam… Awesome brotha! I enjoyed the story and am always amazed at the level of sincerity that comes thru with actors who are clients. You do some amazing work and this is nothing short of what I would expect from you! Thanks so much for sharing.
I loved this concept, idea and its creativity – its original. It’s something I believe Mark and Kinda will look back on all their lives, especially family and friends. Adam, job will done. I love to Mark and Linda, also.
