THEIR MODELS WARS

ENTERTAINED US

THEIR MODELS

SEDUCED US

AND WHAT THEY UNLEASHED

HAUNTS US STILL

​

This is the insightful and important story of the most iconic women in American fashion history Eileen Ford and the man from Paris who´s upstart agency Elite first betrayed her and then challenged her for supremacy in the modeling world 

 

 We are very blessed to have the last filmed conversations with both Eileen Ford from her grand house in New Jersey, and John Casablanca who we filmed with in Villars Switzerland only weeks before he passed away  

 

Gracious, polite, insightful, that´s what they both were, accept in John´s case he was even endearing in his reflections on his and Eileens story, her not totally so much, but even in her feisty take no prisoners style, she was still always elogant.  We believe that these interviews will give the world a lasting and truly warm impression of one of the perhaps misunderstood men, a man with a reputation that was the perfect foil for Eileen and her image as the strict matriarch of the modeling world, and of Eileen as well, although her last words to us were, ¨You better not just make me look good in this film, you better tell the truth¨.  

​

The truth is her story (and his) with all their color and narrative is equally about us, about our obssessions and deceptions, and in many ways the damages of it all in a world that sells its children for sex. â€‹

In the coming months i will be going through the close to 45 hours of footage we collected when we created ´The Life and Times of Eileen Ford´ for the Omni Broadcast company in Canada. 

That film, 47 minutes long, was meant as a pure biography to support the broadcast of the MODEL OF THE YEAR competition which never came to fruition.  The consequence was that Omni had no reason to broadcast our 47 minute biography and then upon their bankruptcy abandoned their commitment to us.

But we filmed far more than a simple biography.  We honestly have one hell of a story to tell and fun, poignant, honest, never before seen content to tell that story. 

The dust has settled, the world could use a story like this one right now, and somehow the message of this film, the thoughts of Eileen and John, feel even more relevant now than when we first filmed our content. 

Stay Tuned

sincerely

Katie Ford, Eileen and Jerry´s daughter, sold the Ford agency in 2007 and since then has put all her resources and energy to help end human trafficking.

​

It is our sincere goal to afford Katie a good percentage of the licencing we may attract for this project to help her continue on her fight.
