Producer and Actor Val Tasso of the Feature Film DYSFUNKTION Guests on Eye on Entertainment

Dawna Lee Heising of Eye on Entertainment interviewed David Bianchi and Val Tasso of the feature film “Dysfunktion”. Bianchi is the writer and executive producer, and Tasso is the producer of “Dysfunktion”. They both also star in the film. “Dysfunktion” is the story of one day in the life of nine odd Hollywood types that all live in the same run-down, oversized mansion - each with their own character defects driven to pursue their dreams.  “Dysfunktion” is what happens when personality defects collide, everything goes wrong, and life-changing decisions are made. “Dysfunktion” is a dark comedy revealing the best and the worst of the Hollywood type and the Hollywood human condition.
