Family Retains TransMedia Group to Publicize Movie About the Disappearance of Jennifer Marteliz 25 Years Ago in Tampa

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- A close-knit family's fierce determination to solve a heartbreaking mystery has propelled them to produce, direct and act in a feature film about the disappearance of a seven-year-old loved one 25 years ago. The family has retained TransMedia Group to publicize its theatrical release later this year (http://www.transmediagroup.com/).

The movie titled "She Could Be You" dramatically depicts the disappearance of seven-year-old Jennifer Marteliz, who 25 years later is still missing. The child was last seen walking home alone from school one day and has not been heard from since.

"This unsolved case continues to both torment and inspire this united and determined family who will never give up searching for Jennifer," said TransMedia's Chairman Thomas J. Madden, a former programming vice president of NBC.

The feature film is all the more remarkable as it was produced and directed by Jennifer's aunt, Nancy Tunstall, and financed by her uncle Gordon Tunstall, both newcomers to moviemaking.

Jennifer's mother, Kathy Longo, and sister, Toni-Lisa, not only supervised production and facilitated the location shots but played parts in the film, along with other members of the family who support professional actors in lead roles. Cousins of the victim wrote the score and worked in the production, which was shot in just four weeks on location here, "it is amazing the family managed to bring such a quality film and complex production in on time," added Madden.

"We selected TransMedia Group to do the publicity for our film because we liked their promotional ideas and their sensitivity to the emotional content in what was a true labor of love and dedication that involved our entire family," said the film's director Nancy Tunstall, who together with her husband Gordon run Tunstall Consulting Inc., a corporate financial planning firm based here.
