No Restrictions Studios www.NoRestrictionsEnt.com is in production of its 7th feature.
Producer John Paul Rice needs YOUR HELP to tell a powerful and personal film entitled GAME DAY! the coming-of-age story about a 50 year old father of an Italian-American sports-fanatic family who gather to watch their annual football rivalry game - Philadelphia vs Dallas. Soon the rivalries within the family become wilder than the game... WHO WILL WIN?
THE STORY:
Game Day is a feature film about a family seeking answers when faced with uncomfortable truths that reveal deep cracks in the foundation.
Game Day tells the story of the Forte's, an Italian-American family from Philadelphia who gather in their home to fanatically cheer the Eagles during the last NFL football game of the season. Food, fights and bitter realizations arise from within the family throughout each nerve-wracking quarter of the game, leading to a final accounting of where their lives are headed when the game clock reaches zero.
WHO WE ARE:
John Paul Rice along with Edgar Michael Bravo formed No Restrictions Studios http://www.NoRestrictionsEnt.com to create bold, authentic and compelling feature films that humanize issues rarely addressed in today's Hollywood movies. All 6 of their previous films tell rich, real-life stories of survival in the face of uncertainty with a hope and love for a better world.
WHY WE WANT TO TELL THIS STORY:
All of us come from different family backgrounds. Some have close families, others broken. Some have mended, others not. GAME DAY! is about the glue coming undone and yet there is care, love and truth that liberates each family member to finally do what they have always wanted to do, but not at the expense of others. Hollywood has not done a film like this in decades (since Ordinary People) - a story about deep family bonds with honest expressions of truth that help each person to heal, let go of the past and move forward.
This is a very timely story in our divisive world. We see this film as an opening to a greater opportunity for all with honest conversations, true forgiveness and togetherness.
WHERE THE MONEY $$$ WILL BE SPENT:
- Daily Meals, Food for the Production Crew
- Weekly Rentals of Lights, Camera and Sound Equipment
- Weekly Pay of the Editor (Film Cutting), Colorist (Picture Look), Composer (Songs, Music), Sound Mixer (Sound Effects, Music, Dialogue, etc.)

Los Angeles production company No Restrictions Entertainment has completed filming for the newest in a series of seven social issue films. "Mother's Red Dress" is a feature-length film that includes scenes shot in Upland and Riverside. Filmmakers hope it will bring awareness to the issue of domestic abuse.
The film tells the story of a young man who struggles to leave a broken home plagued by alcohol and domestic abuse. He ends up meeting and falling in love with a young woman who has also had a difficult past. Several scenes from the film were shot at UC Riverside and a Brockton Avenue home. Riverside was identified as a "small town outside of Los Angeles," said Edgar Michael Bravo, the film's director and writer.
The company is producing one social issue film every year for a total of seven. "One Hour Fantasy Girl" was produced in 2008 and tells the story of a young runaway who struggles to support herself in Los Angeles. "The Magic Stone" was produced in 2009 to highlight the issue of homelessness and includes scenes that were filmed in Upland and Ontario areas.
Bravo wrote and directed all three films which he said he usually bases on people he knows or his own experiences.

Having always struggled for money, Becky becomes business partners with Chi Trang, an aspiring musician, who convinces her to work as a fantasy girl, acting out any fantasy a guy wants as long as there is no sex, no nudity and is 100% legal. She immediately gains two frequent customers, Roger and Bobby, who change her life forever.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - For 50 years the Urban League of the Upstate has empowered communities most at risk.
The list includes health and wellness, education and work force development, but now it’s adding film making.
Do you know the name Dr. Edward E. McClaren? He was a medical pioneer in a racially segregated Greenville well known for prenatal care. If you still don’t know who he is. There’s a new partnership that says people living in 70 countries soon will.
Traffic at the intersection of Wardlaw Street and Academy in Greenville is steady. But amid the high rises is a unique piece of property.
“If you didn’t need the services of Dr. McClaren in the Jim Crow era of the 1950′s – you wouldn’t know,” said Dr. Gail Wilson Awan, Urban League of the Upstate president and CEO.
Fox Carolina went to the main Greenville Public Library to scour the books, microfilm and biography files looking for answers.
“You can’t say it didn’t happen. And this building says that it happened that in spite of the fact that he was living in and working (certain conditions) – look what Dr. McClaren was able to accomplish,” Awan said.
Awan is detailing how McClaren, a Howard Medical School educated doctor relocated to Greenville County to provide high quality medical care to Black patients who either couldn’t afford it – or wouldn’t be treated elsewhere.
“He didn’t turn people away,” Awan said.
He also built and opened the McClaren Medical Shelter right next door to his home in 1949.
“There was a clinic built in Spartanburg for Blacks and it fire bombed twice. So, this was not an easy decision that this gentleman made,” said Edgar Michael Bravo, No Restrictions Entertainment writer and director.
And this is just part of a layered story that inspires the seven-time film writer and director.
“When courage was needed White doctors came to help at the clinic who were specialists in areas that Dr. McClaren did not have specialty in. They helped in surgeries – they helped in many things,” Bravo said.
Bravo calls it a significant cross-racial approach to medical ethics.
“In spite of the dangers to the White doctors also, there was a unity and respect to the doctors’ professionalism and a human heart that said no we’re not going to be intimidated by a small group of people who spread fear,” Bravo said.
And it’s the humanity that brings the former Los Angeles based writer and director and the urban league together, they’ve united to work on a film centered on the life of the doctor, his wife and parents.
“It’s not about the bricks and mortar. The bricks and mortar is there and that’s important, but it’s about the person,” Awan said.
Cinema Bravo International in association with No Restrictions Entertainment says the film will be able to unite and inspire throughout the 70 different countries where it’ll play. The film should be in post-production in 2023.
This is a story of a universal issue of not giving up on your dreams no matter what. No matter what,” Bravo said. “No matter how difficult it can be.”
Casting discussions are being done already in the Upstate and Atlanta. Ten percent of the film’s profits will be donated to the Dr. McClaren Medical Preservation and Education Fund which is managed by the Urban League of the Upstate.
