Anthony C. Ferrante, who used to write for Fangoria magazine back in the day, has directed twenty feature films over the course of his directing career – and he sure seems to love making shark thrillers. Ferrante was the director behind the over-the-top shark action of Sharknado, and when that movie turned out to be a pop culture sensation he returned to direct all five of the increasingly over-the-top sequels. The franchise wrapped up in 2018… and five years later, Ferrante directed his seventh shark movie, an Asylum production called Blind Waters that was released through the Tubi streaming service. Now, Ferrante has made another shark movie: Great White Waters, which is set to be released by Tubi on July 4th.

Leonard's play Unconditional. Leonard who made the little seen film Jailbait, will also write the screenplay. Playbill describes the play about nine characters and nine New York stories "as a racially and sexually charged tale of rage, love, justice and betrayal." Leonard gravitates toward the unsung and unrecognized and unappreciated in the American social system.
