Review of "44 Plays for 44 Presidents" at Cleveland Public Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

CPT’s ‘44 Plays for 44 Presidents’ offers playful perspective Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics The just released documentary “Michael Moore in TrumpLand” is a last-minute attempt by the liberal-leaning filmmaker to change the hearts and minds of Donald devotees, disenchanted Bernie followers, those leaning toward third-party candidates, and people who simply intend to sit out the election rather than vote for Hilary. This adds yet another loud and high-profile voice to the multi-media sturm und drang of political persuasion that has surrounded the 2016 Presidential election. How refreshing that “44 Plays for 44 Presidents” – a sketch comedy production written by Andy Bayiates, Sean Benjamin, Genevra Gallo-Bayiates, Chloe Johnson and Karen Weinberg – is not only nonpartisan but downright playful.

AUDITION for Film and Video Actors
by B.R. Tatalovic, producer via NEohioPAL 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Audition for Student Film and Video Projects - produced by Cuyahoga Comm College students (details below)... Where: Tri-C Campus in Parma, Ohio When: FRI, Oct 21, from 9:15am to 1:15pm Visit our facebook event page for details; if you have questions - post it on facebook page (below)... Do NOT reply to this email. Thanks. FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/events/1100323086727718/ This is our 6th year of working together with local talent! Cuyahoga Community College's beginner level film and video students are creating several short projects (experimental videos, music videos, commercials, short docs, and super short narrative films), and need local talent. This is an "Intro to Filmmaking" class, taught by Prof. Bruno Tatalovic. Several students who completed this course in previous years – are now established local film artists, and they won... first filmmaking awards at local festivals and Cleveland’s 48-Hour-Film contests (Anthony Taylor). Some former students are already working on indie feature films (Thomas Matheis, Chris Arthur)… This type of collaboration is perfect for beginner level actors who need more footage for their first demo-reel. Each of these projects feature 1-2 actors only, and gives you a lot of screen time and dialogue or monologue lines. These are unpaid (volunteer / collaborate) productions. Get your first credit, your acting demo, and establish new relationships with like-minded content creators. As we know – it’s very difficult to start up in film industry and (if you’re an actor) to get an agent. So, if you REALLY want to become an actor - join local indie film artists and students now, and create content! Don't just be an INVISIBLE and UNCREDITED “extra” in big out-of-town films. ACT in local student projects! Also, if you have NO screen acting experience, but you truly BELIEVE that you have what it takes - COME and try out! These projects are 1 day (half a day) productions, sometimes in late October/November (based on actors' availability). This is “walk-in” audition (cold read or short personal monologue - if desired). If you wish to attend this audition, bring the following: -- 8x10 headshot or any decent picture of yourself; -- acting resume (even if it’s very minimal); -- if you don’t have a resume, make sure to have personal contact info (or business card); HEADSHOT PHOTO SPECIAL OFFER: Beachwood based Discovery Photo studio (operated by photographer Scott T. Morrison) is giving special discount coupon to all who attend student audition – HALF-PRICE HEADSHOTS ! Come to audition to get your special offer coupon, and meet Cleveland’s “movie photographer” Scott in person. Feel free to invite your actor friends. Join us! Only actors who ATTEND this audition in person will be considered. If students don't find appropriate talent at this audition - they might consider additional talent (but the preference will be given to those who show up). SAG-AFTRA members are welcome, but they must prepare and coordinate union paperwork themselves. The beginner level students are not fully prepared (at this level) to handle advanced professional level producing duties, such as union contracts. Plus, the union requires paperwork well in advance. MINORS: if you're under 18 years of age, your parent must give you permission to audition and act. Bring your parent, or have him/her sign a form - giving you permission. ACTORS-WRITERS: If you are screenwriter-actor, or if you have an amazing location that student can use - feel free to pitch your own idea or short script, BUT it must follow our educational rules and guidelines. Stop by and chat with students. MUSICIANS: want to make an entry-level music video? Come and pitch your original song! SAMPLE PROJECTS (see former students' work): -- SHORT FILMS: “3-2-1 Short Film Projects” are beginner level film productions featuring 3 pages of scripted narrative, 2 actors, and shot on 1 location only. See samples on Vimeo (link below). https://vimeo.com/album/3233443 -- SHORT VIDEOS: 30 second ads, PSAs, and more… Click on Vimeo link below... https://vimeo.com/album/3215203 <https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Falbum%2F3215203&…> Visit our facebook event page for details; if you have questions - post it on facebook page (below)... Do NOT reply to this email. Thanks. FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE: https://www.facebook.com/events/1100323086727718/
