Pistachio & the Magic Cat of Istanbul

This is a story of Pinocchio's cousin Pistachio and his quest for an encounter with a magic cat who will make his dreams come true. It is shot entirely in Istanbul and Bitez, Turkey and stars a feisty little marionette along with the personable citizens of the ancient City and its multitude of street felines.
Algis, a veteran of the visual arts with a long history of photographic exhibitions in some of the best international venues (O.K.Harris in New York; Piramal Gallery in Mumbai, India), years as a photo-journalist (NOW in Toronto; The Gazette in Montreal), and several prize-winning short and feature lengths films (Mimetoliths; Master Class with Walter Lassally; Shapeshifter) variously shown in film festivals, television and the Web, brings years of experience, a finely tuned eye, and a child-like wonder to this new project.

"Charming" Walter Lassally Oscar winning Cinematographer for Zorba the Greek.

Is Pistachio going to have any new adventures soon ? Tell him if he visits Northern Ireland you can now buy Efes here, so he will be happy ! :-) :-)
