Local Set Designer and Artists: Help Willy Wonka!
by Shonna Nitzel via NEohioPAL 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Aspiring set designers/artists are encouraged to submit their own designs for the next Twinsburg Community Theatre musical *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Willy Wonka*. We need your help to bring Roald Dahl’s famous story of Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka and the Oopa-Loompas to life. Feel free to submit set designs for any of the scenes from the musical, along with an explanation of how they work. Ambitious designs for moving sets and special effects are welcomed – Dahl’s story features a flowing chocolate river and waterfall and a flying glass elevator, among many other fantastical elements in the candy factory. Creating something out of nothing for the stage is nothing short of miraculous! "At the start of this show, Charlie Bucket's world is grey and cold, but he uses his imagination to transform the world into something wonderful. And Willy Wonka and his factory are the embodiment of the power of imagination.” Drawings, descriptions, photos and videos will all be accepted on a volunteer basis. Credit for designs used, or artistic painting will be given in the show program, as well as free tickets to the show. Don't worry about what seems possible or not possible, just give it a whirl. Please submit all ideas to www.tburgtheatre@gmail.com OR drop off at the Twinsburg Community Center attn: Derek Schroeder before August 31st, 2017. Be Creative! Shonna Nitzel Artistic Director Twinsburg Community Theatre 330-571-8099 -- Shonna

Brand New Songwriter for Movie/Film
by Eric O'Connell via NEohioPAL 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

BRAND NEW SONGWRITER FOR MOVIE/FILM I want to win music awards as much as you want to win movie/film awards. My first movie competition was last month (48 Hour Film Fest) where I wrote/recorded a song in 2 days for a short film. That song "Dr. Robbins" in the movie "Killing Time" was nominated- beat out only by the "musical" genre category. The music video can be previewed here: https://youtu.be/h82IBKkdFjc I also wrote a beautiful, powerful, inspiring piece called "Knock Me Down" that is being featured in both "In Guns We Trust" (Mikhail Tot) and "All In Her Head" (Buddy Candela) premiering in the coming months. The song is great for any conflict or personal victory scene. You can check it out here: https://youtu.be/wsDWVCg7OwI Please let me know what emotion you need to capture for your project and I'll create a gripping score for your film. Or check out my website for a complete catalog of my work. One day I want a yacht, but today I just want to get some exposure and film credits doing what I love. I want you to be able to say I knew Eric O'Connell before anyone knew him. Let's win some competitions together!
