Allen Schwalb dives into the NEW 3D marketplace!
"As I see it, and many other agree, 3D will dominate the future of movies as well as TV. And my first foray into this amazing genera, is sort of a Mafia/Rambo type 3D thriller, Named "The Italy Boys".
–Allen Schwalb
So Mr Schwalb is now the Executive Producer of this major 3D film, that could very well take it's place as one of the most exciting and violent mafia movies ever made! This is a film laden with well known Italian movie stars.

Allen is also working with Springtree Studios for their up and coming movie, "RUBY McCOLLUM".
"RUBY McCOLLUM" is the sensational 1952 true story of the wealthy, educated Ruby McCollum who took a stance to defend herself from a prominent physician/senator elect in the racist practice of “paramour rights,” a white man’s right to any Black woman’s body -while he was planning for the Florida Governor's seat with the support of Al Capone's Outfit. Ruby’s stance, and her suffering, resulted in the final abolition of paramour rights in the segregated South – and saved Florida from a bloody future of corruption. RUBY McCOLLUM is based on the 1956 bestselling book “RUBY McCOLLUM: WOMAN IN SUWANNEE COUNTY JAIL", by the award winning author William Bradford Huie, a story that shook the foundations of the segregated South and remains, to this day, a shocking story of greed, power, love, deceit and racial inequity that paved the way for the Civil Rights Movement.
Allen is woking on another movie titled “Vision”, an unprecedented film about a blind football star, is inspired by and based upon the true story of Michael Chastain, who, still to this day, is the only one hundred percent blind person to ever start in a varsity high school football game. Michael not only starred in, but also became an integral part of a victory in the most important game in his school’s history.
But this is not just a story about a man playing football blind. It is a story about people: A friendship of epic proportions, a coach who endures both ridicule and frustration, teammates in turmoil, a family who stands behind their child, and teenagers falling in love - all surrounded by a society that refuses to accept. This is a story about human emotions – about the challenges, victories and defeats in a spectacular journey that takes Michael from the light of his early youth, through the darkness and despair of his tragedy, and then back to the light again. We will laugh, cry and love with him. We will jump, run and tackle with him. We will feel every collision on the field, and every emotion off the field. For the first time in the history of the Motion Picture Industry, through a unique use of sound, we, the audience, will see through the eyes of a blind man. We will share his goals, his defeats and his triumphs. We will feel his rage, his pain, his fear, his frustration, and even his love for a woman. In the end we will truly understand, that yes, it is possible for a blind man to play football – and - yes, it is possible for a blind man to see.
Unknown Media is working with Mr. Schwalb on their movie " ‘95" which is a coming of age comedy in the vain of “Superbad” and “Clerks”, set in 1995 told in the found footage/cinéma vérité style of genre films like “Cloverfield” and “The Blair Witch Project.”
As long as his family has owned an RCA VHS Camcorder, Bruce has documented all of his summers with his friends. “95” is the last three tapes from the summer of 1995. It was a crucial summer, as he and his friends were being pushed into growing up and facing responsibility and adulthood. In the final days of their summer, they realize that it doesn’t smell like teen spirit when you’re well into your 20s.
