Cleveland, Ohio-The official presentation of Independent
Pictures' Ohio Indie Awards, presented to the winning films from
the 2003 Ohio Independent Film Festival, will add to the festivities 
at Cleveland's own Academy-sanctioned Oscar Night(R) America
party. The Cleveland party is one of 46 official parties that will be 
held across the country when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and 
Sciences stages its 76th Academy Awards(R) Presentation on Sunday, 
February 29, 2004.

Benefiting the Ohio Independent Film Festival, and hosted by 
filmmaker Robert C. Banks, Jr. and Donald C. Shingler, D.D.S. (who 
was just highlighted this past December in the Plain Dealer's
Sunday Magazine for his attention to worthy causes), the Cleveland 
Oscar Night celebration will be held, complete with spectacular views 
of Cleveland and Lake Erie, in the Tower at the Tower Press Building, 
1900 Superior Avenue, beginning at 7 pm.  Tickets ($25) are now on 
sale by calling Nina Yancer at (440) 323-2032.  Call now to get 
tickets; space is limited and the event is expected to sell out.

The Cleveland audience will feel like stars themselves, dressed in 
fashion-forward black tie optional attire, as they witness WEWS-TV 5 
News Anchor Tonya Strong awarding the Ohio Indie Awards, watch the 
Academy Awards telecast, and sustain themselves with wine and 
appetizers.  The Academy will make available to party guests in 
Cleveland the same official program distributed to guests seated at 
the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland in Hollywood, California.  
Copies of the 76th Academy Awards commemorative poster, designed by 
Burton Morris, will also be available in Cleveland.  

Says host Donald C. Shingler, DDS, "We are excited about this 
incredible venue.  We have secured the 5-Story Tower of the Tower 
Press Building.  It may be the only time that some Clevelanders can 
see the Tower with its spectacular views of Cleveland and Lake
Erie."
