An interview with screenwriter Robert Bruzio, Part 1

Screenwriter Robert Bruzio details his familial inspiration behind the film Bottom of the Ninth (starring Joe Mangienello and Sofia Vergara) with Raymond De Felitta, who directed the film. Robert and Raymond discuss a host of topics including how the script gained traction after submission to a renowned screenplay contest, agenting, and how Robert himself convinced the director of Rocky, John Avildsen, to work on the film with him. Part 1 of 2.

Sometimes it takes people a while to realize you don’t have to get an agent
and sit back and wait for things to happen, you have to do it yourself.
— Robert Bruzio
