Pia is a light that was given to the world, born October 14th, 1988, in Howard Beach, Queens New York. Her little heart that beautiful face and a treasure to her family she held the greatest gift in the world. To think such an incredible woman had this little dream to be a Super Star Music Artist. Her family didn't even know what that little treasure, and the light she held inside of her, and how big it would go on to be. Don't ignore for one second that this light didn't go out in her past, several times, but this girl showed perseverance, resilience and stood vigilant in what she believed, Pia was an angelic and beautiful soul, with a nostalgic personality, an intellectual woman filled with so much strength, who was built like machine, but she broke like any machine would. Pia learned how to take the hits, the punishment, like other Artists did and never let it discourage her enough to give up. Even though she was challenged to do so, she went back into the ring and kept on swinging. Her love for her dream would build her into the fortress she is today.
I would say Pia is a Rolls Royce, a Mercedes Maybeck, and Ferrari all in one. She can turn up the speed, just like the exhilaration you would get on a race track, reaching speeds of 230 mph, or 0 to 100 in 2.1 seconds; as that was what it was like for, her stepping out onto the Stage, filled with enough octane fuel, a burning flame in her gut, to put a Stella Performance on, one that would astound millions and millions of people, one she would go and repeat again and again for all her fans. Her tenacious character would set the bar to a higher standard, so high, she challenged herself several times, with an overall determination to succeed, she push herself, hard enough that many others wouldn't dare challenge themselves, let alone go. Pia is the Rolls Royce full of grace and beauty. She has the body like a Bugatti Veyron, so elegant, able to take on anything thrown at her. She's the Lamborghini, the Ferrari, a true female version of an Italian Stallion, combined with immense horsepower, she stands ready to take on anything, that once threatened to take away the things that belonged to her, but was wrongfully given away, despite the circumstances. She's ready and waiting for the fight, if need be, ready to face the challenges that once stood in her way. "Although this is just a part of what she once went through in her past, not really who she is today", just an Artist who believes in other's values.
Pia is about to embark on something new and is so happy to share this with her fans and loved ones, as she is making a Motion Picture, where she would Write, Produce, and Direct, with Creative End Productions. Studying Feature Films is something Pia now stands prominent with a man Daniel Truisi, where she has added another notch to her belt, stepping in as CEO and Executive Producer to Creative End Productions, LLC and Titanium Studio Pictures, LLC.
The Movie, based on a True Story is about Pia, a Love Story and Musical. Here Pia takes you from her childhood, through the heartaches, the pain, the emotions and obstacles she faced reaching to the top. From American Idol, which she couldn't be more grateful having the opportunity, she was able to set boundaries she couldn't do without this. Meeting people who loved her, from the Judges that formed life long relationships, to a support team like Jennifer Lopez, Stephen Tyler, Randy Jackson and even Ryan Seacrest, who was an endearing gentleman, as they all were wonderful inspirational coaches through her journey. Leaving a show you loved so much and a family who loved you, she couldn't imagine having to leave the Idol Stage. With the love she had, it was her beginning and long road as a Professional Music Artist. Pia would now go on many, many years later in her Career and become the Recording Artist and Actress she always dreamed of, like her mentor Jennifer Lopez and so many others she looked up to, who became icons on stage, like Whitney Huston and Celine Dion. The countless Actors and Actresses that made monumental Motion Pictures, who left impressions that changed millions and millions of people's lives, who would inspire them to also follow in their careers, as it has made a new path for them.
Pat Toscano born in Naples, Italy. A man as beautiful and loving to his family, stood by Pia’s side her whole life. Her father was her encouragement, her rock, her supporter as he would be there to give Pia constructive criticism when needed, but was also there when Pia needed a shoulder to cry on. Pia's father first notice Pia was extremely special. At the age of 4 Pia took the microphone and never looked back. She had her sights on being a star and family was behind her all the way, especially her Grandfather Jay who loved her more than life itself and she loved him even more. They were kindred spirits and he believed in Pia and wanted to see her on the stage. If I may say this man is very dear to the many hearts in his family as he was to Pia, and I wish I met him. I never had a grandfather so I would have loved him so much too. A man who stood for everything he believed in. He served our country as a Marine, wearing 2 purple hearts as his medal of honor, being a hero of world war ll. He was and will always be remembered like the many veterans who served our country so proudly.
Along this journey we will take you in the Movie you will see everyone and everything that Pia encountered along the way. Pia’s incredibly beautiful mother, Jane Toscano; who is every part of a woman as she is enchanting, as a Mom. She would give Pia the tools she needed to be a woman and when you see how special Pia absolutely is, how loving, caring and giving, a true woman of God. It is all the more reason why this love came from her family, who was as adoring to her, as they were nurturing and the reason why Pia is the woman we all know and love today.
Pat told her to be the girl she wished and dreamed of being at 4 years old, she needed to study the Artists she loved so much, and not only sing the song, but become them. Learn the music, learn them, their style and learn how to sing like a Diva. Though her father knew it took more, a lot more, he encouraged her to study. Pia got older and matured so much more along the way. She studied with many amazing people and went to the LA Guardia School of Music and Performing Arts in New York City, studying the Art of Music, working with vocal coaches and learning from the most ivy league professors, who would tune that vocal instrument beautifully, like that of the orchestra, who she is on Stage with and Andrea Bocelli.
So at 4 years old Pia put on her high shoes, did her makeup, let down her hair, put on a dress and stood before the world and said I am coming. In a dream she slept that night, her little heart pounding, full of excitement and love. She would dream of one day being a Music Artist just like Whitney Huston and Celine Dion. With that dream she held in her heart she grew and grew, wanting it so much. While others didn't like who she wanted to be, they made her feel unloved,
but that never stopped Pia, it only made her stronger and gave her strength to be the radiant light she always was.
Her values on life and making the world a better place is because of both her Mom and Dad. Let me move on and say there isn't enough words to place into this autobiography about how loving and how amazing her family is, but I will say it as much as I can in this article and everything else will be left to see in her life story. I will go back to a few people in Pia's life, her Dad as I said made her a fortress and gave her the perseverance she needs to be in this Industry. Her Mother and father were a great inspiration to her. Pia's older sister Kim Toscano was another inspiration filled with so much love. With a love for Music also, she would become a brilliant Music Composer, with a gift for playing Instruments, one love in particular, the Piano. Kim being a strong influence in her sisters life, gave Pia a shoulder to cry on when she needed one, as she would be her best friend growing up and still is today.
Though there is a good chance in Pia's life story, we won't see her real family playing their real characters, due to the intensity of the roles, the emotion on screen this needs to be given to a Professional Actor or Actress. I will promise they will be in it, you will see everyone of them, as it would make Pia so happy to know her family, who was there through it all, during the most pivotal moments of her life and the emotion too, be very much a part of this.
Pia went through many obstacles and kicked down many doors and with me she will knock down the walls that are around her today. I am so grateful and blessed to be apart of this breathtaking woman's life, who is the greatest gift in the world to me, as she will always be my gift and the greatest thing to ever happen to me.
Creative End Productions was established in 1998. I began my career as a Hollywood Screenwriter and I soon learned I would have an appetite for so much more. Writing my first Feature Screenplay quickly went to 4 Hollywood Motion Pictures and 2 of them would become Studio Feature Films. Writing for me was the beginning to an extraordinary and an amazing gift that opened a whole new world in Hollywood. One that gave me an opportunity, one I always felt that being in Hollywood was like you were in the Major Leagues. To be on the same field with Hollywood Professionals. You suddenly realize your life is about to change when HBO, Silver Cup Studios and Universal all have interest in your work.
My career would come head on like a freight train and it challenged me several times. It took me further than I could ever imagine, more inquisitive, enabling me to be someone I always dreamed of being. It prepares you for something that is truly gratifying. Although you believe your there, you made it, it's just the beginning. There is still a long road and knowledge you will ascertain along the way. It happen that fast and it will happen for you, if you believe in everything that you do, you will see just how great you are. Being able to work with these Companies would define not only who you are, but who you will become as a Professional, knowing that one day you will be able to see your name up there in the Bright Lights of Hollywood.
The advantages were endless. I wanted to do more, taking the Camera into my own hands, but it was now the Director’s Chair I was shooting for. I realized my heart wanted more. So, becoming a Producer was another stepping stone. Everything you want in life comes with work, you must see it through to the finish line. Today things are becoming more accessible for us and that is great, the real challenge is taking your great idea and making a masterpiece from your mind. The tools are there for us to use, but the ability to be become a Professional is another thing completely. I am no different than you because I did these things. You can do it, don't find the easy way. Take the time to lay your film down and prepare it like you were story-boarding the project. From Scene to Scene from page to page the film should come to life off the Script. Writing is an Art and you have to see yourself as the Artist. You are the one making the Film remember that. Take the time to find yourself. Don't try and force your Career, learn as much as you can and be happy doing what you love. Take in everything and everyone around you, the answer to what you need is out there and the right person will be standing there right in front of you. Have Faith and believe that your knowledge was given to you as a gift from God so the world can see who you are and the person you are meant to be.
Today there are many resources to make video, but there is only one that is real Feature Film. Whether you film on digital or real tape, the image quality is staggering, it stands in a class by itself. You need to go the distance, find the tools you need to make the film worth everything it can be. There are many Actors who rely on this to better their performances. They are there to do their best and it’s up to you to make them look the best. A Film characterization is distinguished by character and I am not speaking of a role. I am speaking about the character of the Production and its value. There are many moving parts in the making of a Movie. If you don’t know how, it’s ok to pass the baton to the person who knows how. In the interim you must learn. Hollywood is made up of a conglomerate group of people, who are incredible Artists. They all started where you are right now and they walked the same road, always keep that in mind. The only thing you must do is be willing to go the same distance. I was told nothing is easy, if it was everyone would do it. That doesn’t mean it won’t become easier the more you learn. Production Studios are deeming a greater image. Digital has come and went to a much higher standard. When you’re going to make a film check every box. Taking shortcuts only brings you to a lower standard, and the project sacrifices in the long run. Be in demand, do the best you can and others will follow you. If you don’t know all the answers its ok, because you have to crawl before you can walk and walk before you can run. This theory is prominent across the board in any profession. Everyone wants to be a star and that is YOU! Take the steps to find your way. Motion Pictures is an Art, just like lyrics to a beautiful song, a song that will go on for decades and decades, where people are still moved by the music. Motion Pictures is like a symphony controlled by an orchestra. You can’t get the sound out of a Cathedral without the entire Choir. Motion Pictures is every piece coming together to tell the story, from the Production comprised of thousands people that run the Cameras, Sound, Lighting, Visual Effects, and Editing, to name a few, but don’t forget there is one person who has the biggest part; the Actor. With them their performance tells the story, and brings it to life. From the first word in the Script to the Production, it all comes together and goes to the Big Screen, where it takes you to a magical place and immerses you into an imaginary world of Motion Pictures.

Having a dream goes much further then wishing. It takes time patients and your commitment to pursuing what you want. Becoming a Filmmaker is a very exhilarating, but could be a very challenging role. Being the Director of Photography allows you to to work hand in hand with the Director of the Film. Being the DP on the project is very critical to the perfection of the film. You are the one behind the Camera calling all the shots to other Cameramen. But if its just you, its your eye in that lens and its you who is creating what would become your masterpiece. A Director and Director of Photography are the most important title to a Movie. A Writer has their part to create the Story and then it's up to you to bring those words to life. If your that serious about becoming a Filmmaker then remember one word and keep repeating it "Discipline". You are the one everyone will turn to during the entire Production. As you develop yourself into the person you want to become, it is most likely you will hold the title of a Producer. That comes with everything related to the entire Production. It is the most powerful position on the set. You are not the only one who makes the Film, remember that. There are many people who bring their own creativity together with yours. Some become the most valuable asset to the project. Understand first what the Film will need and then find the people to fill that position. It isn't the role of an Actor. Before you even begin thinking who is perfect for a certain Character, pull in your entire Production Crew. You can't wear every hat. You must allow others to help you. Being a Producer on a Film is the most demanding and exciting part, yet the most weight baring.
Find out who you are to the picture and go from there. There isn't any rush to being Top Gun. Start at the bottom and work your way up. One thing you should always remember. Every great Producer and Director started where you are. They didn't have all the answers and neither will you. So don't get frustrated and skip things during the making of a Film and don't cut corners. If you take that road in the beginning you will learn real fast that perfection is something we were all inspired by. There are sometimes thousands of people who each play a role in the making a Film. Many Filmmakers go on to become brilliant Directors, who put so much heart into making a Motion Picture. They immerse themselves into each and every element of the Film. These masterful Directors have set the bar in Hollywood so high that these Movies are impossible to top. Think of yourself being this person. The inspiration is there.
Let's say you start with an idea and you write this idea into a story. One that you will need to develop into a major Hollywood Script. This is the most incredible moment when you have written something larger than anything you have ever did in your life. This is an extreme accomplishment and you should be proud and very happy that you have achieved such a goal. Always be grateful and realize that this is a gift and be willing to help others, as they have did for you. Take the time, help them find their way, like you found yours.
One thing you need is a lot of support and you need a lot of interest in your Story. This is the beginning, you still have options. You can sell your Story and you can go on to become a successful Screenwriter. The thing you need to know is this is your Story. Make sure you find the proper way to protect your Screenplay and get it Registered at the Writers Guild of America, West if your in LA or East if your in NY. Contact them first and ask for instructions. I advise you to also Copyright your Script. The First and your Final version. Every time you do a rewrite you only need to Register it. This is something the Industry wants to see. If you are ready to take this to full Production then find out everything you need to know. Read anything and everything you can even the legal legalities you need to take. If you don't know about real Hollywood Cameras you need to learn, its where you start, like everyone else who had the same dream as you. Depending on the type of Film your looking to make will determine the type of Camera you will need. That is up to the Director of Photography and the Director on the Film. This is why it is important to have the right people on board. You need to learn before you can play on the same Field as these Hollywood Professionals. Enroll yourself in courses that will teach you the right way of Film making.
Sometimes a Story becomes larger than you intended. These changes could make or break your Film. Think of your Script like a car depreciates it's value. Your Script starts out strong with a great impact. Along the way you feel it might cost to much to shoot a Scene so you start changing it and cutting Scenes to make the Story more affordable to buyers. These Studios aren't there to look for bargains. Your Script is going up against other Writers who are in it to win and they have both guns firing at one time. That means they are coming to the table heavily armed. You have to think your a Power House and what you have is a Power House Script worth Millions. Think Millions because your not here to hand over anything less. Your about to rub elbows with biggest Hollywood's Elite Professionals that have went to Film School and have 20 30 40 more years experience. This is the Major Leagues you are about to step into. Many people take another road and then Film their Story into a Movie and than dress it up at the Festivals. The Film takes flight and wins all kinds of awards and your standing there watching them win best picture in every Festival they enter.
Now, a deal will take place and that person would then sell the Film. The point is they started at one place and are working their way up. There are learning as they go or they already have all the tools they need at this step. On the other hand if your trying to get your Script picked up and you want a Company to buy it, then you come to a table ready to make an impression that will leave them wanting more. Let them know what your worth by the Story it tells. That is where you start as a Writer and if decide you want to go bigger and you want to be a Producer or make your own Independent Film then go the distance and learn.
I am here to help you, to help guide you, so please reach out to me and I will be more then willing to show you, even steer you into the right direction.
Now.... shall we begin?
