My thanks to the Spindletop Cavaliers for sending me this item...

Kansas City, MO (Sept. 4) - CARUSO AND THE SWORD, a feature film in development, has been accepted as a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, producer and writer Paula Smith announced today.

"CARUSO AND THE SWORD is about a teen, who improves his grades and self-esteem, when he discovers the sport of fencing.", says Paula Smith, producer and writer. "My goal is to produce an artistic film and to inform the public about the sport of fencing."

Fractured Atlas is a non-profit arts service organization headquartered in New York. CARUSO AND THE SWORD is currently the only project in Kansas under Fractured Atlas fiscal sponsorship. There are many benefits to being under Fractured Atlas fiscal sponsorship. Fractured Atlas allows projects to solicit donations. Currently CARUSO AND THE SWORD is seeking contributions to the project.

Contributions in behalf of CARUSO AND THE SWORD may be made payable to Fractured Atlas and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. As a sponsored project, the film production will also be able to utilize the many resources of Fractured Atlas such as health and liability insurance and discounts on products and services.

For more information about CARUSO AND THE SWORD please contact Paula Smith or go to http://www.carusoandthesword.com

Thank you so much for listing this. Feel free to stop by the site and read the script.

If you aren't on our mailing list, please add your name and email. Our first goal is to build a database of people who would like to see this film made and want updates. You won't be spammed and will only receive an email if something really important happens.

Once we start production we will rely on our Twitter and Facebook accounts which are not currently active.

Thank you again for posting this. I've had a lot of positive comments from people who would like to see a "Karate Kid with Swords."

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I will.

BTW, having read the synopsis, I would like to offer a word of advice.

No matter how good a fencer is, the rest of don't give them nicknames, especially something like "the Sword." We refer to even a 2x Olympic gold medalist, like Mariel Zagunis as... Mariel Zagunis.

Maybe that's what's wrong with the sport....

Well, maybe in certain target drills.

Swimming also doesn't employ a ball and enjoys much more airtime than fencing. They do have such greats as Michael "The Albatross" Gross and Michael "The Torpedo" Thorpe.

On further consideration, perhaps we should all just change our name to Michael...

Cycling has also gotten fair exposure of late, thanks in large part to Lance Armstrong.

There's a nickname there, but good taste precludes mention....
