General Movie Information
“In Your Face” is the first full-length Hollywood
feature film production based on the game of paintball.
John Hornburg, the film’s Executive Producer, became
interested in the sport of paintball when it was suggested as a plot
element for another film he was developing called “The Shortcut”.
After doing much in-depth research over a period of six months, Mr.
Hornburg decided that a film specifically for the paintball community of
five million current and past players would be potentially well received.
The script is a collaborative effort between Mr.
Hornburg, his wife Kristin, and two new, young writers; Valerie Hiatt, who
had written a quirky comedy entitled “Obsess Much”, and Aaron
Christopher, a long time paintball player who was introduced to Hornburg
by Bud Orr, founder of WORR Game Products. Aaron’s game and technical
experience, combined with his excellent writing ability, brought a much
needed element to the writing team as Hornburg insisted that the film
portray paintball authentically.
Hornburg has hired Benjamin Sacks as the film Producer.
Having been involved in the production of some twenty-three films over the
past four years, in capacities ranging from Production Coordinator to Unit
Production Manager to Producer, Mr. Sacks brings the necessary management
skills to what Hornburg understood was going to be a somewhat difficult
film to make.
The final ingredient, the director, was actually chosen
quite some time before in the person of Tim Tommasino. Mr. Tommasino,
feature film editor and current Senior Editor on NBC television’s
“ER”, for the past four years, is an old friend of Hornburg’s. The
two met when Tommasino edited the Hornburg’s documentary film about a
small country circus, called “Small Top”. Mr. Tommasino, a long time
extreme biker, motobiker and paintballer himself, jumped at the chance to
direct. With his very considerable skills, Mr. Tommasino brings great
story telling abilities to “In Your Face”.
