About The Film

Story Synopsis

In this quick paced romantic-action-comedy, Rosella Wu (Elizabeth Bond, Nip/Tuck, CSI: Miami) is convinced by her mother to kill her mobster husband Danny (Ron Yuan, Fast & Furious, Prison Break, Pushing Daisies, Entourage). But when Danny quits the mob and cleans up his act, she tries to cancel the hit. Except she's too late - the hitman (Camden Toy, buffy the vampire slayer) crashes into the house, guns blazing! Now Rosella must stop the hitman, prevent Danny from finding out it was her, and stand up to her over-bearing mother (Georja Umano) who still wants Danny dead!

Director's Statement

The idea behind "The Godmother" was to bring together all the things I love in movies: comedy, action... and some romance of course! The script evolved from an idea about a couple resolving their marital problems in unorthodox ways, involving lots of guns and martial arts... because unlike in the real world, guns, violence and destruction in movies are so much fun!

But I wanted to go deeper: the heart of this film is the human relationships. This is a story about people being dishonest, capricious and quirky. If they want true happiness, they will have to fight, harder than they ever have before, for the things that are most important to them.

I would like to thank all the people that worked on the film - it could have never be done without you.
