The Middle East, Filmed in New Mexico
(PRWEB) October 09, 2018 -- Debrianna Mansini plays disaster survivor Sandy McGreevy in a new Netflix series shot in New Mexico, Messiah. This uniquely 21st Century political thriller chronicles the world’s reaction to a man who emerges from the Middle East, creating a groundswell of followers who claim he is sent from God. Is he what they say he is or is he a dangerous fraud bent on dismantling the world’s geopolitical order, causing civil havoc as he beguiles the world’s media and its audience?
The answer to that question, unfolds across ten episodes told from multiple character viewpoints (including a US Intelligence agent, a Palestinian refugee, an Israeli Shin Bet officer and a Latino preacher and his Daughter.) At its core, Messiah is a series that challenges us to examine what we believe and who we are. Messiah is created by Michael Petroni, and executive producers include Michael Petroni, Mark Burnett, Roma Downey, James McTeigue, and Andrew Deane.
Known recently for her acting roles in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, Mansini’s career has spanned decades to include radio, film, TV and theater. She is now gaining recognition as a playwright for her solo show, The Meatball Chronicles. The transcendent play recounts an Italian-American family’s meatball recipe, passed down through generations of women. Each ingredient has a story attached to it, and Mansini shares universal life lessons that come together as the meatball is formed. The show partners with local chefs to deliver a sensory experience for audiences, and each performance benefits charitable causes. The Meatball Chronicles will begin touring again in 2019.
Constant throughout Mansini’s work has been the belief that storytelling highlights the human condition, causing us to reflect on ourselves and how we interact with others. Her activism includes supporting Project Angel Food and working to end “lunch shaming” by making sure all school children receive equal treatment regardless of whether their parents can pay for lunches, as she spoke about as a recent guest on The Bob Cesca Show. Mansini is drawn to entertaining as a vehicle for teaching, healing and helping us understand what it means to be human.
