Scott Stamper – Executive Producer & Screenwriter

Scott Stamper – Executive Producer & Screenwriter

 Scott Stamper was born in Seattle, Washington and raised in Tennessee. While Scott was a child his father worked his way through law school as a Memphis city police officer. In just two years after graduating law school, his father was the youngest Judge to sit on the bench of Montgomery County just outside of Nashville.

Like his father, Scott was always an overachiever. At the age of 12, he set a world's record in marksmanship, chartered his first corporation at 14, earned a private pilot's license at 16, started college at 17, and purchased his first house at 19.

Shortly after arriving in Atlanta Scott started a lucrative computer programming company. In 1995 his firm was developing some of the first application software for the internet, before most people had even heard of the world wide web. By focusing on digital and streaming media he was able to combine his love of filmmaking and editing with his career.

For the past eight years, Scott Stamper has been assisting independent filmmakers in the Southeast in bringing their visions to the screen. From writing and directing, to props and editing, he has worked in virtually every aspect of film/video production.

In 2003 Scott directed the short film entitled "Performance Anxiety". He co-wrote, produced and directed this comedy, which starred Randall Carlton, one of the leads from Reign of Fire, and Dave the Dwarf, from the nationally syndicated MJ Morning Show. This ambitious short, had a cast of 30 and a crew of over 25.

With a desire to jump from independent shorts to feature films, Scott Stamper and John J. Cornetta formed First Cinema Productions and immediately began planning and pre-production for their first feature film Lynch Mob.

Lynch Mob stars Tony Darrow (HBO's Sopranos and Goodfellas), John J. Cornntta, Michael Cole, and Paul Borghese. It will be released in theaters on September 18th, 2009.

Scott is married to Rachel Stamper, an award winning writer who has studied under several best selling writers and collaborates on most of his screenplays. Scott lives in Brookstone Country Club in Cobb County, Georgia with his wife, two sons and two black labs.

Scott is active in several local charities and helps coach handicap children for the Equestrian Special Olympics.

In his spare time, Scott developed the popular website AtlantaFilms.com, a free resource for Atlanta area filmmakers with over 20,000 registered members. Scott is also very active in the local independent film community and is a member I.M.A.G.E. (Independent Media Artist of Georgia etc.) and the Atlanta Screenwriters Group.

Paul Borghese Rocks!

Paul Borghese Rocks!

Paul, from the bottom of my heart I say THANK YOU! Paul already knows this but is too humble, and too much of a gentleman to brag or boast so I will do it for him. Lynch Mob simply could not have been made without him! I mean Paul from the start you ...were there for me, took it serious when many others would not have. You have treated me like a brother and have added so much value to the project I am unsure that I could ever repay you.

However more than your skills, connections and wise advice on acting and the creation and completion of a film, the renewed friendship and genuine care for me is what I value most.

If I lost or end up losing my life's savings on this project (which there no way cause you and Tony ROCKED!) but if I lost every penny, I would still say that Lynch Mob was the best thing that happened to me because of our relationship today.

Much love

Johnny Cornetta

Actors Tony Darrow (GoodFellas, The Sopranos) and Paul Borghese (Julie & Julia, The Sopranos) lead a stellar cast of characters. Darrow, who was injured during the shoot, insisted the cameras keep rolling to capture his wound saying, “Hold the doctors. It’ll look more realistic with my blood. Let’s keep shooting.”

Biography of Johnny Ramano

Biography of Johnny Ramano played by John J. Cornetta in Lynch Mob in theaters September 18, 2009

This Biography and many other fun filled facts about John J. Cornetta and the movie Lynch Mob can be found at I.M.D.B. The official Internet Movie Database.

He first appears in the 2009 mafia horror film Lynch Mob as Captain of the Giovanni crime family. He is the nephew to the family's boss Anthony Giovanni [ Tony Darrow] who is more like a father to Johnny since Johnny's father disappeared and was assumed dead or in Witness Protection Program when Johnny was only 8 years old. That was the same time that Johnny, his younger sister Maria and Johnny's Mother Marutzi were all brutalized by a young gang of thugs in an alley way just outside of the city in Pearl River

New York. The gang raped both Johnny's mother Marutzi and his kid sister Maria, killing her and forcing Johnny to watch it all. Johnny's mother killed herself a few days later and Johnny was raised by Anthony Giovanni and his wife, Johnny's Aunt Philomene whom Johnny affectionately calls Nanny

Johnny is the son of would be family Don Ferdinando DiMayo and Marutzi Luciano.

Johnny has a chip on his shoulder for anyone who would even dare touch or hurt a woman. The death of his sister and mother marked in his brain forever. This noble trait is not so noble in an underground crime family and throughout the film it puts Johnny at odds with the family and himself.

John J. Cornetta who portrays Johnny Ramano worked closely with business partner and writer Scott Stamper when creating the character. Part of the influence on Johnny's overly protective tendencies is based on Cornetta's own youth. Cornetta, born and raised in Piermont N.Y. was the youngest of four children to Joseph and Patricia Cornetta. Cornetta had three older sisters, Pattie, Anita and Lisa but no brothers. His fathers sister Adel Cornetta tragically lost her husband John Post to an auto accident just months before John was born. John J. Cornetta, who was set to be named Joseph Anthony Cornetta, was named after his deceased uncle. His now widowed aunt was now left to raise their two little girls Debbie and Lynne with John's father Joseph assuming the father role John now had five older sisters and no brother. Unbelievably counting John's sisters and first cousins only, he had more than 20 female relatives and just two boys. John J. Cornetta learned how to respect and protect woman at an early age.



Part of the influence for this film can be seen in the opening scene which takes place in a bar with many gangsters. Again Cornetta was raised in his parents Restaurant in Piermont N.Y. Cornetta's Seafood Restaurant where not only were drinks and food served but his mother Patricia worked as a waitress and where real life mobsters from New York in the 70's and 80's would frequent this New York landmark.

John J. Cornetta plays this protecting gangster and falls in love with Lynchberg, yes you guessed it, waitress Sarah, portrayed by actress Kristyn Sammons.



Johnny's rival for family power Michael Giovanni is played by none other than actor Paul Borghese who grew up in the neighboring town of Blauvelt New York and Paul and John and their families have been friends for more than 50 years!

Johnny Ramano is the first Gangster to visit Lynchberg Georgia and with the help of two woman is the only one to leave there alive and move back to N.Y.

The twist of all twists is that in the end it is those same two woman Sarah and her daughter (hidden for most of the film) who end up killing and eating Johnny. As a piece of flesh is sliced away from Johnny the first person to eat him is a 140 year old infant! Yes a one hundred and forty year old baby, the nucleolus of the family and of the Lynchberg curse. So is Johnny dead or is he now the one cursed?

Only the release of Lynch Mob China Town (now in production) will answer that question!

S.A.G. Film Ratings Lynch Mob IMDB MPAA

INTERVIEW: SCOTT STAMPER, Writer/Producer Lynch Mob

CinemATL: What inspired you to write this script?

SS: We were looking to do a film in the horror film genre and we were trying to think of something that hasn’t been done. Since we had access to a lot of Mob-type characters, like some actors from the Sopranos, we tried to write a Mob-based horror film. But since we were filming in Georgia, it had to be based in the south.

CinemATL: Which Soprano’s cast members were you able to secure?

SS: Paul Borghese and Tony Darrow. Tony is best known from his role on Goodfellas as the restaurant owner, but also plays Larry Boy Barese on the Sopranos. Tony’s character on the Sopranos gets arrested next season and becomes a series regular so we happened to get him at just the right time.
We were also able to get Dexter Tucker, Chris Tucker’s brother, to do a cameo for one of the film’s final scenes.

CinemATL: How did you target these two actors?

SS: One of the producers, John Cornetta, has been friends with Paul Borghese since childhood. Paul has done some work on the Sopranos and is a series regular on several NBC shows including Third Watch and Law & Order. From there, Paul contacted Tony.

CinemATL: Did you shoot under a SAG contract?

SS: Yes, we are on the Ultra Low Budget SAG agreement. We have to pay SAG actors a minimum of $100 dollars a day. We were going to go non-SAG until we secured the name talent actors.

CinemATL: How did you go about getting financing?

SS: Part of it is self-financing, but we also have some investors. We had an investor’s reading of the script, but everyone who invested was someone we already knew.

CinemATL: What are you shooting on?

SS: We are using the HVX200 HD camera and running it to the P2 card, which captures true HD.

CinemATL: How long have you been shooting?

SS: We started in late July. We did most of it in two months. We did about 80% during the first month and now, because of the more complex shoots with special effects and working with everyone’s schedule, we have to do one day here and one day there.
We were planning on doing an 18-day shoot, but about halfway through we realized we would either have to lower the quality of what we were shooting or extend the days. So we decided to go for a longer shoot. It went from an 18-day shoot to about a 28-day shoot.
Extending the days brought about new complications when the crew, planning on only shooting for 18 days, signed onto another production. We then had to work around the schedule of the other movie, which became very difficult when the film’s schedule would constantly change at the last minute.

CinemATL: Where have you shot in Georgia?

SS: Rome, Marietta, Lawrenceville, Alpharetta, all over Atlanta and now Douglasville.

Welcome to Lynchburg

On Set: "Lynch Mob"
Written by Dave R. Watkins
Thursday, 19 October 2006


The sign created for 'Lynch Mob.' (photo: Dave R. Watkins)On September 17, 2006 I traveled out to Dacula Georgia to observe one of Lynch Mob’s final shooting days. The film deals with a mob informant, Weasel, who is put in the witness protection program after turning over evidence to the FBI. He relocates to the town of Lynchburg where it is soon revealed that the townspeople suffer from a curse placed on them during the civil war that forces them to eat human flesh to survive, but makes them immortal. Soon the mob sends their people after Weasel and carnage ensues.

While on set, I observed the minimal crew on hand and was impressed as they functioned in an efficient and synergistic manner. While most of the crew focused on shooting several car scenes that involved adhering an HD camera and light to the hood of the car, others worked on creating an impressive “Welcome to Lynchburg” sign to be used for a few of the films’ key scenes scheduled later that day.

The main crewmembers were extremely busy most of the day, but I was eventually able to get on-set interviews with both writer/producer Scott Stamper and director Byron Erwin.
