Cleveland, OH-i71productions announces the worldwide premiere of their =
digital feature film renaissance. The film will be shown at the Cedar =
Lee Theatre (2163 Lee Rd.) on Sunday, 05 October 2003 at 7:00 PM. The =
premiere is a benefit for the film's impending launch on the film =
festival circuit as well as i71productions future projects. A =
post-premiere party will take place at Halite located at 2800 Clinton =
Ave. in Ohio City. The admission fee is $25 per person to attend both =
events.

There are a limited number of tickets still available.  If you are =
interested in attending this premiere, please call Bernard Bunye at =
440/623-9092.

The film, shot entirely on location in Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, was =
created by two people: Bernard F. Bunye, who directed the film and =
Nicholas j. Peterka who acted in the film and served as director of =
photography. "Oh yeah and we wrote it and produced it together too," =
Bunye quickly points out. "The sheer honesty which Nick and Bernard =
bring to a project inspires those around them to go above and beyond =
what is merely possible into what is inspiring," beams executive =
producer Derek Walden. When asked to comment as to why she wanted to =
participate in renaissance, Kelly Lozan, the film's other executive =
producer states, "When you get the chance to work with a group of people =
who are not only intelligent, creative and committed, but passionate and =
selflessly giving, some part of you automatically realizes on a =
subconscious level that you are involved in a project that will prove to =
be extraordinary." What was truly amazing was that the film's two =
creative personalities are only 24 (Peterka) and 25 (Bunye) =
respectively. "But I can play 23," asserts Peterka as Bunye laughs. =
Being young though had its downfalls. The two found out that funding was =
difficult to come by. Peterka notes, "There were a lot of times where =
we'd go to set and it would be Bernard, myself and the actors. That's =
it. This film operated unlike any film. There was almost no crew." But =
Bunye and Peterka remained unfazed. "This film was totally funded by =
Nick and I. We couldn't afford any of the frills that you'd expect with =
a feature film. In fact no one on this project got paid. But we had a =
script we really wanted to see filmed and that was what drove us," Bunye =
explains. "Everyone involved wanted to be there because of the script."=20

The script centers around the character of Maggie Easton and her journey =
towards self-discovery. Cara Kay, the actor who played Maggie, had this =
to say, "The script instantly grabbed me with its ability to pinpoint =
the confusion facing today's generation."  When asked what the film is =
about Bunye remarks, "It'll be different for everyone who watches. But =
for me, renaissance is about the choices people make and how they make =
them."=20
