Casey is an independent film that weaves the trials and tribulations of miscarriages, with the psychological trauma of child abuse and alcoholism.

(Oakland, CA) American jazz singer, actress, and filmmaker, Tamela D'Amico, has attached to Made U Look Production's first, feature film, Casey.

As one of the top 24 finalists on FOX's reality show, On The Lot, Tamela has gone on to form La Strega Entertainment, the banner for her sultry, jazz album, "Got A Little Story," executive produced by Peter Krause (Parenthood, Six Feet Under, Dirty Sexy Money) and Grammy Award winner, Jimmy Hoyson at Capital Records Studios. The album was released by LML Records/Allegro distribution in April 2009 and has since been distributed worldwide.

A character-driven drama, "Casey," centers on Teresa, (Noureen DeWulf of The Backup Plan and Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past) as a guilt-ridden wife suffering through her miscarriages, her broken marriage with Paul, and her conflicted love for Casey, a seventeen-year old, daydreamer, being abused by his alcoholic mother, Norma.

Tamela will portray the character Jan, a mutual friend, who must side with either Teresa and her illicit affair with Casey, or with Paul, tormented by his separation from Teresa and her taboo affair.

Along with Noureen DeWulf, and Tamela D'Amico, Casey, features attachments from Joan Severance (Wiseguy, Lethal Weapon, Black Scorpian), Lisa Pescia (Body Chemistry), Silvia Spross (Giallo, The Art Of Travel) and Robert Miano (Donnie Brasco, Fast & Furious, Dungeons and Dragons).

Made U Look Productions was formed in 2009, by Dane Terrell, with the aim of producing mid level, independent films, featuring strong, female protagonists.
