About Me

We don't believe it's coincidence when peoples' paths cross. Shelly Ryan is a writer in Atlanta, Georgia, whose passion is to write scripts for the independent film market. She began with sketch comedy, but she's diversified into several genres.
Shelly connected with a musician, Federico Fasce, who lives in Genoa, Italy. He has a diverse background both composing and providing musical accompaniment for numerous theatrical projects, including a tribute to the prolific Swiss artist Paul Klee.
In a short time we've achieved much through our collaboration. Two artists from different disciplines have formed an amazing alliance based on many common beliefs; the most important one being that when we create, we communicate a universal message.
We've discovered that time & space does not limit our creative endeavors. Fede introduced himself to Shelly to experience his music. Then he read her humor pieces to learn better English...which inspired him to write songs! The result of this interaction?
The release of the first of many projects. Momentum Productions, in partnership with Indie Music for Life announces The Hopeful Princess: a read-along story CD with bonus music tracks. PLEASE VISIT OUR PROFILE and help us give hope to children who battle the bad dragon of cancer!
Next in the line-up is the filming a series of Shelly's haunting scripts: a trilogy of tales about obsessed artists. We can't wait for you to see our shorts! And the musical score? It's to DIE for! There are many other incredible projects in the works...
Including an adventurous and humorous tale of what some lesser-known knights can conquer with the right attitude! We invite you to join us on this fantastic and hilarious journey by checking out the profile that is devoted to our movie: Donkeylot!

I'd like to meet:

We'd like to meet filmmakers who have the desire to bring unique short or feature films to audiences that crave something different. Momentum Productions provides you with a compelling script AND a soundtrack that breathes life into the story.

The independent film industry is making tremendous strides as it enlightens audiences throughout the world with movies that people don't just watch...that they can FEEL. Our mission is to partner with others who share this passion.

Music:

We enjoy all types of music depending on our mood. We like soothing, ambient songs when we're feeling stressed and conversely crave the energy of progressive rock when we're in the mood to celebrate. Fede's influences range from classical to YES and Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Movies:

We both adore comedies, especially Monty Python films! We also are intrigued by science fiction. Fede enjoys horror movies, but Shelly stopped watching them when the special effects became TOO realistic. She's more of a "ketchup packet squirting to simulate flesh wounds" kind of person.

But Fede challenged Shelly to write something in the horror genre. The screenwriter immediately began creating, becoming so obsessed that she's already written several haunting tales. The composer immediately became obsessed by the scripts and began writing thrilling music...

Proof of BOTH artists' belief that they were "born to do the movies".

Television:

Shelly's inspiration for her humor comes from vintage Saturday Night Live and Monty Python's Flying Circus. In addition to reading samples of her sketch comedy scripts on this profile's blogs, visit Shelly Ryan Comedy for more info and to listen to audio clips of her unique comedy stylings.

Books:

We enjoy books and other resources that help us grow and evolve as artists.

Heroes:

Ordinary people behind the scenes...the ones who work very hard but don't necessarily get the recognition they deserve. Anyone who puts their entire heart and soul into everything they create. People who aren't afraid to take risks to follow their dreams.
