Michael is an extraordinarily talented writer of stage, screen and print. He's a vibrant, intense acting coach who gets the best from his students and gives the same in return. An actor himself, he knows the importance of strong direction and is as inventive technically as he is adept in helping to elicit an actor's best and most honest performance. I recommend him highly.” January 26, 2008

was with another company when working with Michael at Gravity Wave Productions
“I've known Michael Dinelli for more than 20 years and am very familiar with his creative work. He's a singularly talented playwright and screenwriter and has directed several extraordinary teleplays. I've also audited his acting classes know him to be a superb teacher. Michael has a formidable acting resume (acting alongside Al Pacino in a Raab play at the Public Theater and playing the male lead in a theater production opposite Farah Fawcett, for example) and performed brilliantly in a number of plays I wrote & staged at the Writers Unit of Actors Studio West. He's an extremely bright, funny, personable mensch----a naturalborn storyteller in both theater and film. I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation. Anyone who hires this singularly talented man will be rewarded 10X over.” January 24, 2008

Mike,
I received "Cash Deal" today and, of course, watched it as soon as I could. This is Frankie's best acting I have seen from him. The language is of course not for all ears but, great acting just the same. It seemed too short. Great work on this movie and all involved.
Thank you for alerting everyone on this short.

Cash Deal", a video short starring Frankie Valli. This is Valli's best dramatic performance to date. Frankie Valli plays Harry "The Wolf", a brilliant salesman and con-artist, on the road with a young man who worships him. This is a story of dreams unfulfilled, and the emotions brought forth when thinking back about what could have been. Valli has a powerful emotional scene when he looks back upon his lost dream. Harry is ready to give up the road but he has one last con left before doing so.
FRANK ROVELLO
President of Frankie Valli Fan Club
Dear Mr. Dinelli,
Hello, My name is Anna Samanamu and I was the person who send you the money order for the movie "Cash Deal" starring Frankie Valli and Michael Tumino. I would just like to say that I received the movie today (January 22, 2007) and I saw it. I loved it. I loved Frankie's dramatic performance and I loved the way you directed it. So, I'm sending you this e-mail just to let you know that I received it and just wnting to congratulate you for the successful movie. Also, if you ever talk to Frankie sometime, tell him that a fan (me: Anna) says that she loves his performance and hopes to meet him sometime. (If that's possible.) Well, thank you for sending me this movie and thank you for directing it.
Sincerely,
Anna Samanamu
