About Tommy:
Tommy was born in northern California on June 10, 1966. He started playing keyboards at age 4 and co-wrote his first song with Carlos Santana at age 11. By the time he was 12 he had received his first gold record for his work on Santana's Moonflower album. At age 19 he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for 2 years majoring in Jazz Composition. He moved to Los Angeles in 1992 and continued his career as a studio musician and composer. In 1999 he began working with Dr. Dre, and at the age of 33 he had conceptualized and co-written one of the biggest songs in the history of Hip Hop, Eminem's, "The Real Slim Shady". Tommy went on to win 2 Grammys, sell over 70 Million records and receive RIAA's Diamond Award, in which only 140 projects in the history of music have ever received this award.

Casting Call - Community Movie Project
Love Stuck is a film created by the community for the community. This musical comedy is a fun project that stars members of the community and help the NCM summer program teach filmmaking. We will be recording the “Prom Flashback” scene from the movie this summer. We will be having several casting call dates in preparation for this. Simply show up to NCM at the designated date & time. We will have some easy dialog for you to read. We want to see your idea of the character.
Today we are casting for:
Young Jerry - a 17ish year-professed nerd enchanted by the worlds of video games and comic books. Firmly convinced of a generational curse casting shadows on his luck.
There are two main characters in this movie and many supporting characters. For this casting we are looking for the perfect Young Jerry. Jerry’s character DOES NOT have to sing or dance but it would be nice if he could. This is a volunteer role.
Visit our Community Movie page for all the details on this project
___________
"Love-Struck" unfolds the story of Jerry, a 30ish-year-old self-professed nerd enchanted by the worlds of video games and comic books. Firmly convinced of a generational curse casting shadows on his luck, Jerry's life takes a tuneful twist when he encounters Emily, a mysteriously carefree woman seemingly immune to his string of misfortunes.
Drawn together by the whimsical notes of destiny, Jerry and Emily find themselves dancing to a unique rhythm that challenges Jerry's belief in the family curse. As their bond deepens, they navigate the harmonious complexities of love, fate, and laughter.
In a surprising turn, "Love-Struck" infuses elements of musical comedy into Jerry's journey. Together with Emily, they embark on a musical odyssey and comedic interludes to challenge the seriousness of their predicament. As they face challenges and embrace the lighthearted side of life, Jerry begins to question not just the generational curse, but the very nature of his fears. The film, with its whimsical blend of romance and musical comedy, celebrates the transformative power of love and laughter.
"Love-Struck" is a delightful tale that underscores the importance of embracing one's true self while singing to the melody of love and laughter. Will Jerry break free from the curse, or will he discover that the true magic lies in the harmony created by two destined hearts? The film promises a symphony of emotions, laughter, and love, proving that sometimes the best way to change one's luck is to dance to a different beat.
