Wakefield Pictures Inks Duo for Debut, Squatters

Veteran film producers Julius R. Nasso and Todd Moyer have partnered in a new film financing and production entity, Wakefield International Pictures LLC. With offices in both Los Angeles and New York, the company plans to package, finance and produce as many as four to six films per year.

First up for Wakefield will be Squatters, directed by Martin Weisz. Nasso, Moyer and Cordula Weisz will produce the film, which begins shooting in Los Angeles next month. Starring Thomas Dekker (Angels Crest) and Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers), the movie tells the story of a young homeless couple in Venice Beach who move into a mansion in the Pacific Palisades while the owners are on vacation. When the owners come home early, things get complicated, in ways presumably not involving housewarming gifts from Pier One and gift cards to Bed Bath & Beyond.
