LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 3, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — To his knowledge, it hasn\u2019t been done before, but that doesn\u2019t scare Zak Lee Guarnaccia, actor\/stuntman, and executive producer at LightRow Pictures, a subsidiary of Light Row Ranch, LLC (https:\/\/www.lightrowranch.com\/<\/a>). In fact, it excites him. Audiences are hungry for something new and he\u2019s ready to deliver with \u201cThe Next Big Hit,\u201d a martial arts musical comedy, set to come out fighting in 2022.<\/p>\n

With its dark, comedy-crime underworld storyline, this offbeat buddy flick pairs up a fabulously gay movie producer on the run from a loan shark with his very straight cousin, a\u00a0martial-arts stuntman. An outlandish plot about making a martial\u00a0arts musical ensues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Next Big Hit,\u201d directed by Renata Green Gaber; created and written by Zak Lee Guarnaccia; and screenplay by Pat Battistini and Cerina Vincent (\u201cStuck in the Middle\u201d Disney Channel), is slated to co-star with Guarnaccia and comedic talent, Perry Anzilotti. Currently in its pre-production phase, Guarnaccia is confident that \u201cThe Next Big Hit\u201d will be worthy of Screen Actors Guild and Academy Awards consideration.<\/p>\n

To generate a buzz and movie support, Guarnaccia will repeat a fitness challenge he completed in 2012 where he climbed 189 steps at the \u201cSanta Monica Stairs\u201d in California for a non-stop 24 hours. This time he\u2019s inviting others to join him in the \u201cExtreme Fitness Challenge, which will also benefit \u201cThe Heart of Los Angeles\u201d (HOLA), a non-profit organization that gives underserved young musicians a chance to spotlight their work in \u201cThe Next Big Hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Zak Lee Guarnaccia<\/strong><\/p>\n

A self-described \u201cunderdog,\u201d Guarnaccia says passion drives him. He moved to the U.S. from Italy in 1989 with $400 and a dream to compete as a professional martial artist and to establish a career as an actor and stuntman. He\u2019s always been enamored by martial-arts themed movies and comedies and the growing popularity of \u201cLGBTQ-themed\u201d shows featuring predominantly LGBTQ and minority cast lineups. Recent feature films he\u2019s worked on include: \u201cJudas and the Black Messiah;\u201d \u201cRed Notice\u201d with Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson; and \u201cThe Morning Show\u201d with Steve Carell and Jennifer Aniston.<\/p>\n
