Family Retains TransMedia Group to Publicize Movie About the Disappearance of Jennifer Marteliz 25 Years Ago in Tampa
10/22/2007
A close-knit family's fierce
determination to solve a heartbreaking mystery has propelled them to
produce, direct and act in a feature film about the disappearance of a
seven-year-old loved one 25 years ago. The family has retained TransMedia
Group to publicize its theatrical release later this year
(http://www.transmediagroup.com).
The movie titled "She Could Be You" dramatically depicts the
disappearance of seven-year-old Jennifer Marteliz, who 25 years later is
still missing. The child was last seen walking home alone from school one
day and has not been heard from since.
"This unsolved case continues to both torment and inspire this united
and determined family who will never give up searching for Jennifer," said
TransMedia's Chairman Thomas J. Madden, a former programming vice president
of NBC.
The feature film is all the more remarkable as it was produced and
directed by Jennifer's aunt, Nancy Tunstall, and financed by her uncle
Gordon Tunstall, both newcomers to moviemaking.
Jennifer's mother, Kathy Longo, and sister, Toni-Lisa, not only
supervised production and facilitated the location shots but played parts
in the film, along with other members of the family who support
professional actors in lead roles. Cousins of the victim wrote the score
and worked in the production, which was shot in just four weeks on location
here, "it is amazing the family managed to bring such a quality film and
complex production in on time," added Madden.
"We selected TransMedia Group to do the publicity for our film because
we liked their promotional ideas and their sensitivity to the emotional
content in what was a true labor of love and dedication that involved our
entire family," said the film's director Nancy Tunstall, who together with
her husband Gordon run Tunstall Consulting Inc., a corporate financial
planning firm based here.
