Ketch Rossi, arrives in Hollywood California as a very young man, where he spends “Three Decades” of unwavered dedication to the mesmerizing Art of Filmmaking, fully developing his own distinctive Filmmaking creative methodology as Screen-Writer, Film Producer, Film Director and Director of Photography. He’s a truly passionate Filmmaker and ever persevering Oceanist with the love for the water in his blood, like the true Islander that he is, a native of the breathtakingly beautiful Sardinia, his beloved Italian Island. He nurtures an unstoppable drive and Love for Filmmaking and our Ocean, in a combined vision trough the imperative Global Call to Action to Safeguard our Ocean ever present within the main narrative contained in all of it’s Film & Series Projects. Now set to “Literally Embark” in the largest Supporting and Educational Campaign ever within the colossal Original Event Series THE FILMMAKER for the protection of what is most preciously vital to our Planet’s & all leaving creatures, including Humans… Our OCEAN.

In 2020, Ketch Rossi founded AFRODITE FILMS, a U.S.A. Film Production Company, in a decisive move to brake away from the Hollywood grip on Indie Filmmakers, and to empower the independent Production of his Original Films & Series with unconditional creative freedom, while retaining “Final Cut” and the legal rights to fairly engage directly in proposing “Brand & Product Placement Integration Agreements” with Global Brands, as well as signing “Exclusive Partnership Agreements” with Streaming Platforms.

The name AFRODITE, in its Italian translation of the Greek Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Passion, was chosen by Ketch Rossi because of all of its original Stories narrate about Love, Beauty and Passion, but also because she has a powerful connection to our Ocean, where in either, the earlier version of poet Hesiod, Aphrodite was born from sea foam when Titan Cronus cut off the sky god Uranus and threw him into the sea, or the version of poet Homer, Aphrodite, daughter of Zeus and Water-Goddess Dion, that connects her to our Ocean, to which Ketch Rossi is also deeply connected.

Aspiring to give true meaning to his motto: “To Entertain and Inspire the World” trough his original Film projects, Ketch Rossi, is setting out in his unwavering quest to unapologetically & provocatively bring to the Screen his original IP with a deep respect for his Characters, touching arguments with societal impactful messages, unfiltered in his creativity, with undeterred passion driving the Storytelling, free from any Artistic fear.

Talks in Hollywood inner circles amongst Rising Studios, Indie Studio Development Executives, Talent Agents, and Content Acquisition Officers, evaluating Emerging Filmmakers, are speculating on what is fast becoming the most sough after IP in Hollywood, discussed as either the most absurdly impossible Show that will never be brought to the Screen, or the most cleverly and brilliantly orchestrated idea for a Show of such gargantuan scale and expected Celebrity presence. The project? The colossal Original Event Series THE FILMMAKER with its unprecedented “$1 Billion” Mega-Budget per 8-Episodes Season, by far, the most expensive and biggest most sensationally ambitious project ever to be created in the history of Television.

None of the main Content Acquisition Managers & Licensing Executives internally discussing it will admit to it, almost as if each of them is dead set on either have it for themselves or keep it from any one else having it. But agreed representation time frames have come to their expiration, and pulled out of the grip of powerful NDA’s, and Ketch Rossi has completely lost any interest in seeking new representation and instead looks to find a way to land the Show in the right desk, ring in the right ears and be passed on to the right hands of that Streaming Platform led by some one not only brave and bold enough to Sign the most ambitious project ever to be created, but with a vision to what this project can truly become.

When this will happen, LAND of JANAS, Ketch Rossi’s second most expensive Show ever to be produced in history with an announced $800,000,000 (Eight-Hundred Million US Dollars) Budget per each 8-Episodes Season, will be immediately taking center stage. Because of his expected 10% payout on his 100% owned IP, incoming Producer Fees, and Brand Agreement & Merchandising Residuals, Ketch Rossi, is set to become one of the most influential and wealthiest Filmmakers in the world. His estimated total Purse on paper? “$2.8+ Billion” Unofficially placing him in Third Place, while entering as the Sixth Filmmaker in to such exclusive and very short list of Billionaire Filmmakers in the world. Which currently include: James Cameron “$1.1 Billion”, Tyler Perry “$1.4 Billion”, Peter Jackson “$1.7 Billion”, George Lucas “$5.3 Billion”, and Steven Spielberg “$7.1 Billion”.

Of course before Ketch Rossi would be able to spend any of it, such Purse would need to be deposited, and for that to happen it would need to wait till “Exclusive Partnership Agreements” with a Streaming Platform, are signed for and paid out, and such calculations are currently made in the positive spirit of assumption that both THE FILMMAKER and LAND of JANAS Series, get each their planned 8 Seasons Run.

However, various sources have internally reported, and Ketch Rossi has confirmed so, that he’s unwilling to accept any compromises for the Creation of his IP library, but especially so for THE FILMMAKER, stopping any Deal to move forward. The unacceptable compromises stopping a deal? Well, the first big one is that Ketch Rossi refuses to take any Pay-Outs no matter how large, if to be taken in exchange to forfeit his right to such project and give away the helm to a well known Producer & Director, remaining on board only as a Co-Producer, Script Adviser and Assistant Director. The second big one, is that Ketch Rossi refused to create a direct PROOF of CONCEP-PILOT EPISODE of THE FILMMAKER, as the entirety of the prospected Budget is needed upfront. His reasoning? Without the full budget upfront, he will not have the proper resources needed to create the world of THE FILMMAKER. Vital to properly present the scale of such world that resonates with the Audience as intended.

This two impossible compromises are the main cause that have delayed such an agreement to take place. And because, while all major Streaming Platforms are indeed at war with each other fighting for Content Acquisition and outbidding each other at any opportunity, they all have the same thing in common, none of them will risk such gargantuan budget on a new and upcoming Filmmaker like Ketch Rossi, that while well known in the industry for his vast knowledge and experiences around the world with some great Private and Corporate projects in the can, he has had no commercial projects screened to gauge his capacity & success.

But this is where it gets interesting… Hollywood Acquisition & Distribution system, where all doors seems purposely hidden so that a greater number of entities can take financial advantage of any Up and Coming Filmmaker, put Ketch Rossi against a wall, but he refused to be stopped in his continued dedication to what once had him depart for Hollywood, leaving behind all he ever new and any one he ever loved in the pursuit of the American dream. Instead to brake out of such grip, he decided to leave Hollywood behind, permanently. Setting out to literally Embark in a new phase in his life in which his dream is to be realized.

A decision carefully calculated within this last years, as recent extreme changes brought upon Hollywood made it much less desirable to be in, and do to Ketch Rossi’s wish for a different place to call home to leave and work for the rest of his life. A place offering Safety, Healthy Lifestyle, Sea Access for a Yachting, Strategically Favorable to his Productions, and with a friendly Financial Environment. The pick? The stunning “Principality of Monaco”.

This decision could ultimately not have come to be at a better time, as the current Streaming Platforms led Mega-Deals for Highly Desirable Original Content, with an absolutely staggering $250,000,000,000+ ( A Quarter Trillion+ Dollars) combined yearly Spending power, are truly revolutionizing not just Hollywood, but the entire Global Film & Television Industry, braking the centennial grip the Hollywood Studios had. Now Ketch Rossi readies to conquer his life’s biggest challenge and endeavor as a Film Entrepreneur with the Self-Financed Independent Production, without a Pre-Distribution Agreement, of the highly curated “Original Limited Event SPEC Series” ORGASTIC, a BACKDOOR-PILOT Show to the FILMMAKER.

ORGASTIC was in fact conceived in a bold move no doubt, as an intrepid “Proof of Capacity” Show. Designed specifically to carry tenfolds the Production Value of his intended Budget, to truly showcase Ketch Rossi’s fearless drive and commitment to his IP, but mostly his Capacity to do so in such a way that will earn him the indisputable trust of Streaming Platforms as to let him helm THE FILMMAKER.

In current Content Market, it is with a large degree of confidence that this decision was made, as the Demand for Original Content far exceeds the current Production slates available. This is what created the Streaming Platforms Content War to begin with, and remains the weakest link in their chain. Streaming Platforms need to keep current Subscribers and get New ones to stay on top, and to do so they must absolutely offer a continuously refreshed Content library, especially Original Content. For this Ketch Rossi remains most confident not only that ORGASTIC will be extremely well received at Film Festivals, but that it will be Piked-Up by a major Streaming Platform that will sign the “Exclusive Partnership Agreement” to bring THE FILMMAKER to the Screen as intended, a project that will become Ketch Rossi’s highest life achievement in the Arts and his Legacy.

Ketch Rossi’s work will be showcased with the Docuseries “Chronicles Of Ketch Rossi” in a very intimate way, as he blends his Personal & Professional life in his Films endeavors.
