About me: Based in Los Angeles, CA, Accredited Producer Lisa Willice originating from the outskirsts of Buffalo, NY and myself, Writer/Director Daryl C. Silva originating from the outskirts of Boston, MA own the Award Winning Multi Media production company "The Silva Screen." Daryl C. Silva's credits include filming talents such as Metallica, Mastamindz, Kid Rock, Gene Simmons, System of a Down, Travis etc. Lisa Willice's credits include working for talents such as Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) and Andy Tennant (Sweet Home Alabama, Hitch) amongst many others. We are one of the fastest growing multi talented Indie Film companies of today with offices on both coasts shooting Films, Music Videos & Top notch commercials for national companies/products such as Sal's Pizza, Tower Records, Doritos & many more! If you haven't already, take a moment now to enjoy our films/videos below. First you'll find the trailer for our intense dark dramatic feature film shot on Super 16 entitled "Second Wind" which is set to be released on DVD soon, of course stay tuned for the exciting details! Below the "Second Wind" trailer you'll find the Dramatic Short Film "Footprints." Below that, in no particular order you'll find the trailers for our outrageous comedy sitcom pilots along with our dramatic short films. And last but not least, you'll find the hilarious "MILF" music video along with Inscape Records "Who Dat" Music video and the Samantha Korbey Music Video "The One" all for which along with many other awesome videos will be featured in the exciting & upcoming network reality series "The Silva Slam!" - Yes, we're very busy these days! Not to mention we recently wrapped production in New England on our upcoming Mob related feature film entitled "Boys" set to be released in Fall 2008! Well of course once you've hopefully been entertained by the film/video material on this page, take a moment to leave us a message and let us know what you think, we'd love to hear from you. Also, take a moment now and sneak a peek at what one of our dearest friends in the industry recently had to say about us:
"I've known Daryl Silva for many years now. He is an original exciting artist with a terrific work ethic whose vision and craft are remarkable." "I have also known Lisa Willice for twenty years. She is by far one of the most dependable, bright and faithful people it has ever been my pleasure to know. She is hard working, organized, efficient and creative." -
Joel Zwick - Director - Number one Independent Film of all time "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and both of the recent films "Elvis has left the building" starring Kim Bassinger and "Fat Albert" Produced by Bill Cosby.
Who I'd like to meet: Between both Lisa and I combined, we've been blessed to have met many of the celebrities that have helped to both inspire and mold our career, so not sure who we'd list for meeting purposes, though if you asked us "who would we like to work with," then the list would be quite long, though for starters, we'd have to say probably "Steven Spielberg" simply because knowledge is so important in this business and he's definitely one person that could pass that gift along. I mean one day by his side to just watch him work along with asking questions would probably make up for a year's tuition in film school... Oprah Winfrey would be another person for whom we'd like to joint up with for one of her missions. Imagine the inspiration a filmmaker would receive from participating in some of the heart wrenching missions she's been on...
okay man thats good to hear. Im lookin forward to it, its marked in my calendar. Are you showing bloopers after the show? I need to see the whipe-out between me and Derek on the bikes, i have been dying to see that. But yeah dude stop by some time.
