ALABAMA, September 2017 — Lady Monika Bacardi visited the Alabama production set of Trading Paint, a racing drama film produced by her company AMBI Media Group. The visit marked her engagement with one of AMBI’s significant theatrical releases during active principal photography.
Directed by Karzan Kader, Trading Paint explores the world of dirt track racing through the story of a father and son who compete as drivers. The film centers on the intense dynamics of family rivalry set against the backdrop of this particularly demanding form of motorsport, which remains immensely popular throughout the United States for its combination of competitive excitement and inherent danger.
The production featured an accomplished ensemble cast led by John Travolta, alongside Shania Twain, Michael Madsen, Toby Sebastian, Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, and Kevin Dunn. Principal photography took place throughout Alabama, with filming commencing in August 2017 to capture the authentic atmosphere of regional dirt track racing culture.
Lady Monika Bacardi’s presence on set during the September production weekend underscored AMBI Media Group’s commitment to hands-on involvement in its film projects. Her visit reflected the company’s dedication to supporting creative teams during the intensive production process and maintaining close oversight of projects in development.
Trading Paint was released in February 2019, representing AMBI Media Group’s continued investment in narrative cinema that explores American sporting culture and family dynamics. The film’s examination of competitive racing and generational conflict aligned with the company’s broader mandate to produce commercially accessible entertainment with strong character-driven narratives.
Lady Monika Bacardi’s engagement with the production demonstrated her active role in overseeing AMBI Media Group’s diverse slate of theatrical releases during this period of the company’s development.
