Jim Morrison-inspired film in the offing

MUMBAI: Writer-director Robert Saitzyk will write and direct The Last Beat a drama inspired by the last days of Jim Morrison, for Zero Gravity Management.

Shawn Andrews, who starred in Saitzyk‘s After the Flood will star in the film produced by Mark Holder and Christine Holder. The film will go on the floors in Paris in October.

A non-traditional biopic, Beat will track the final days of Jay Douglas, a famous American rock star in the early ‘70s, as he navigates his relationships with two women in Paris — a glamorous French Countess named Clemence and his California “soulmate,” Valerie Eason.

Saitzyk has also written and directed White of Winter and Godspeed.

Zero Gravity recently produced The Canyon and Malice in Wonderland that will premiere on DVD later this month.
