by Ian Minicuci, Product Specialist, VPG
For those of you that do not know me my name is
Ian Minicuci. I am currently employed as a Product Specialist for
VPG Autos, makers of the VERY COOL MV-1. When not working for VPG I am employed as a Product Specialist for GM and have been since 2003. When not doing either of those I �dabble� in the acting world, which brings me to the point (yes, finally) of this blog. The president of the company I contract for with General Motors to do the �autoshow circuit� is the author of a book called
Sirens of Chrome. This book has been turned into "a docudrama-styled motion picture that focuses on how the ingenious pairing of beautiful women and cars has influenced five generations of global fashion, commerce, romance and status." (Executive Producer Margery Krevsky, Producer/Director John P. Lauri)
Now, I can hear some of you saying, �Ian, what do
you have to do with beautiful women?" The answer - I work with them, as a Product Specialist, and if you recall, I �dabble� in acting. More importantly, like the old saying goes, �it�s not what you know but who you know that counts� and I know the director. This is how I was able to secure VPG and the MV-1 a part in this film.
Saturday, January 19th, was the opening of the
NAIAS here in Detroit and after speaking with the director about VPG and the MV-1 he was very interested in filming myself and, more importantly, the MV-1. Knowing this, I spoke with Leo Darocha from VPG and he was able to secure the MV-1 for us to use for filming. On Saturday (with the help of Jerod Chockley), I met with John P. Lauri at Cobo Hall in Detroit where he filmed me �working the floor� as a Product Specialist and then we had the ability (thank you Jerod) to film the MV-1 on the streets of Detroit.
All in all, a great day to bring awareness to VPG and the MV-1. Happy Motoring!
