Mr Schwalb is now the Executive Producer of "The Italy Boys", a 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 with well known Italian movie stars.

"The Italy Boys" pits the Italian Mafia of Detroit against the Taliban in a war to settle the score… once and for all. The biggest lie that was ever told was that the devil does not exist. The second one is: there is no such thing as the Mafia. This amazing action packed film, is sort of a Mafia/Rambo action thriller, named "The Italy Boys".

"I've been involved in many action movies in my day and this ranks with the best of them" –Allen Schwalb

Allen is woking with CINEMA ISLAND PRODUCTIONS, LLC on two new film projects:

The first film titled “Vision”, is 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.

The second film titled" The Flatwoods Monster" is really based upon a true story. It is based upon the only documented account of hundreds of people seeing a UFO crash land.

It happened in Flatwoods West Virginia in 1952. There exists to this day, footage of the news reports of the crash landing, the subsequent search, a dog dying and the children being hospitalized after fleeing the Monster.

Although the town of Flatwoods has exploited its legend, there was never a thorough investigation of the site, the results of the one day investigation by authorities was either covered up or lost, and there is no known credible documentation of a person who ever saw the UFO leave the swamps of the forest where it reportedly crashed.
