Actor pals set out to make a movie with no money, no script and no cash; they end up with an Academy Award nomination.
Billy Zabka packs his suitcase and tells his parents he’s getting on a plane to go make a movie in Europe.
Where in Europe?
Not sure.
Well, where are you going to get the money to make it?
Haven’t figured that out.
Do you have a script?
Not yet.
Who’s going to be in it?
No clue.
But none of this matters to Billy Zabka. What matters is that he is sure that the movie he has in mind needs to be made, has to be seen.
It will all work out, he tells his worried mother as he boards a plane at LAX just weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
And unexpectedly, it does.
The movie is not only made, it is celebrated, with film festival awards and an Oscar nomination.
On Saturday night, Zabka and co-writer/director Bobby Garabedian will show their film “Most,” at an Aliso Viejo church and talk about the leap of faith that took them on an unlikely journey to Eastern Europe where not even the Polish mafia, a 100-year flood and an empty bank account could stop them.
