Doug - Male - 20's-40's - Any Ethnicity - Clay Stilts neighbor, who's dog can't be curbed is the obsession & victim of Clay. Verbally Sassy & highly comedic. About the Script: How far would YOU go to defend your family? Clay Stilts desires to fortify his house in preparation for both a new baby and the apocalypse he's convinced is just around the corner. His obsessions are sidetracked when a slowly escalating battle with a neighbor who refuses to curb his dog explodes in an impulsive act of violence. In one reckless moment, Clay's world spins out of control, becoming a microcosm for a global struggle against threats to our security, both real and imagined. "Pelfrey is undeniably talented ... a gripping, funny play." -Los Angeles Times "Matt Pelfrey's galvanizing black comedy resembles those nightmares that nag at one's psyche the following day - too off-kilter to accept as reality, yet infused with imagery too haunting to dismiss ... Pelfrey's thought-provoking work is mesmeric from the first moment to the last." -Backstage "Pelfrey has a gift for oddball concepts and sardonic dialogue." -Variety "A brilliant little bulletin from the paranoia frontier." -L A City Beat Audition Details: Show: Last of the Boys by Steven Dietz (Serio-Comedy) Director: Sean Derry Performance Dates: September 15th - September 30th (10 Performances) Rehearsal Dates: August 14th - September 14th(Sun., Mon.,Tues. & Thursdays) $$$$: AEA Special Appearance Contract Available / Non-AEA = $500 Stipend Already Cast Roles: Ben - Robert Branch Salyer - Rachel Lee Kolis Lorraine - Anne McEvoy Young Soldier - Nate Homolka Needed Role: Jeeter - Male - 50's - White - Ben's friend & Salyer's boyfriend. About the Script: Ben and Jeeter fought in Vietnam, and for thirty years they have remained united by a war that divided the nation. Joined by Jeeter's new girlfriend and her off-the-grid whiskey-drinking mother, these friends gather at Ben's remote trailer for one final hurrah at the turn of the New Millennium. As the night deepens, the past makes a return appearance, and its many ghosts come flickering to life. This is a fierce, funny, haunting play about a friendship that ends and a war that does not. "Last of the Boys is to the Vietnam war what Angels In America was to the AIDS crisis." —Talkin' Broadway. "Dietz has conjured the 1960s and the war in Vietnam better than any playwright has managed to date. Ghosts appear and disappear in this play…and these ghosts are in many ways permanent residents in the bodies and psyches of those who fought in the war, as well as those who became its indirect casualties. Their presence creates a restless, burning, grief-stricken quality—but it doesn't prevent the eruption of great bursts of pitch black humor; comic explosions that detonate from time to time as if someone had just tripped over a forgotten hand grenade." —Chicago Sun-Times. "Last of the Boys is shattering, and its careful revelations and haunting imagery stick with you long after you leave the theater." —Windy City Times. "Steven Dietz's new play is passionate, funny, altogether a knockout. The indictment of the war in Vietnam is intense and deeply personal…but the play is not a soapbox rant. LAST OF THE BOYS is about the way the past creates the present and the present repeats the past. The final image of Ben ironing an American flag is wrenching. If only we could get the wrinkles out." —Philadelphia City Paper.

He’s a hard workin’ American, out of work for a year. He’s been trying everything but there’s only days left until the foreclosure process starts. His wife is pregnant with their first baby and they love this little house in this working class neighborhood. How far would you go to save your house? To make things right for your family? Jerry chases his last hope into an upscale neighborhood. He ends up somewhere he never dreamed, doing something he doesn’t want to. Is there a safety net for Jerry? For any of us these days? Is there any way to recover the fading American Dream of homeownership? Our team of filmmakers, actors, social activists and community agencies are working to make this short film about a part of the American Dream that has become increasingly difficult for many Americans to imagine -- holding onto a home. Official Site: http://cantonfilm.us14.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=c16f29f02ccff6f6d8534… Andrew Rudd Andrew Rudd completed his Ph.D. in Communication at Bowling Green State University. His academic training focused upon the intersection of culture, media and rhetoric. His current research and scholarly writing focuses upon the rhetoric of popular film. He is interested in community-based storytelling and has a passion for local film. Romeo is Bleeding A fatal turf war between neighborhoods haunts the city of Richmond, CA. Donté Clark transcends the violence in his hometown by writing poetry about his experiences. Using his voice to inspire those around him, he and the like-minded youth of the city mount an urban adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, with the hope of starting a real dialogue about violence in the city. Will Richmond force Donté to compromise his idealistic ambitions? Or will Donté end Richmond’s cycle of trauma? Donté Clark’s poetry captures the violence and heartbreak that haunt certain neighborhoods of Richmond, CA. The turf war between North and Central Richmond has raged for decades, with each generation having their own folkloric stories of how the war began. Donté was born in the heart of North Richmond, but found self-empowerment by writing about his experiences there. Now as a young man, Donté offers that same opportunity to Richmond’s youth, through an arts organization called RAW Talent. “Romeo is Bleeding” is structured around one year in the RAW Talent classroom, as Donté leads a cast of high school students in an effort to mount an urban adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet”. As Montague vs. Capulet transforms into North vs. Central, the students of RAW Talent delve deeper into the socio- economic issues that drive the violence in their city. As the play comes together on the stage, real life begins to parallel the Shakespearean tragedy. Pushed to his limits, Donté must decide if he is capable of being the leader that Richmond’s youth wants and needs him to be. The film is set in Richmond, CA, but it captures the complexities of systematic injustices which play out in inner cities across the country. As the nation wrestles with proper policing methods and curbing the gun violence epidemic, Donté reminds us that a major piece of the puzzle is the arts, and creating safe spaces for healthy expression in every community. Official Movie Site: http://cantonfilm.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c16f29f02ccff6f6d85342… Donté Clark Donté Clark is a poet, emcee, educator and activist from Richmond, California. As a founding member and artistic director of the RAW Talent Creative Arts Program, Donté wears many hats- coordinating shows and field trips, teaching poetry and theater workshops to low-income youth in his community and coaching his students to find their voices through performance and publication. Donté is a well-known spoken word poet and emcee in the Bay Area- he is asked to perform at schools, conferences, poetry readings and hip hop shows on a regular basis. He was accepted to the VONA program, a prestigious week-long conference for writers of color. Donté’s primary focus is ending the violence that has plagued his community and impacted him deeply- he uses his art and curriculum as a call to action. In the last few years, Donté hosted a town hall on violence in Richmond and took the lead with planning and writing the majority of the script for “Té’s Harmony”. This year he wrote and directed a new play, “Po’Boys Kitchen”, which premiered in March 2014. He continues to spark such critical dialogue and encourages his students to do the same. Jason Zeldes Jason is a documentary director and editor, best known for editing the 2013 Academy Award ® winning film, “Twenty Feet From Stardom”. The film earned Zeldes an ACE Award for Best Edited Documentary Feature, and led to other exciting collaborations, including work with the Oceanic Preservation Society on “Racing Extinction” which premiered at Sundance 2015. Prior to his editing career, Jason worked as an assistant to acclaimed filmmakers such as Doug Blush, Kirby Dick, and Patrick Creadon. “Romeo is Bleeding” is Jason’s directorial debut. Traficant: The Congressman of Crimetown Jim Traficant was a legendary quarterback turned mob busting Walking Tall Sheriff who rose to power on a platform of “honesty in politics”. He quickly ascended to the hallowed halls of Congress, becoming its most outspoken member. "Jimbo" as his die-hard supporters called him, was known for his polyester thrift store suits, shock top wigs, vulgar humor and profanity laced rhetoric against the FBI, IRS, and every president since Reagan. His one minute speeches made C-SPAN must see programming, as he signed off with his patented “Beam Me Up!” In his post-industrial hometown of Youngstown, Ohio -- dubbed Crimetown, USA for being the most mobbed up city in America -- "Jimbo" was a living legend, once garnering more than 90% of the vote. However, the eccentric maverick also had a dark side, becoming only the second Member of Congress expelled since the Civil War, eventually spending over seven years in federal prison on bribery and tax evasion charges. After serving seven years in federal prison, Traficant re-emerged in the public eye trumpeting his innocence – like a king returning from exile. In 2010, he ran against Congressman Tim Ryan and finished last, but did garner 30,000 votes! From the Rust Belt to the Tech Belt -- Youngstown is enjoying a comeback that’s earned worldwide media recognition and global investment. In fact, President Obama stated “A once-shuttered warehouse is now a state-of-the art lab where new workers are mastering 3D printing that has the potential to revolutionize everything.” Official Movie Site: http://cantonfilm.us14.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=c16f29f02ccff6f6d8534… Eric Murphy Eric Murphy is a filmmaker, and television writer/producer - with credits including History, CBS Sports, and Travel.

Since then, he has been collaborating with the group to regularly challenge the format of how the band interacts and engages their audience. The last two years have been busy: directing, editing, and shooting 2 feature films, and over 65 short films for various commercial, non-profit, and music clients in the region. In addition, Motion 117 produced a 4-part documentary series called "Stories from the Road” which tells stories of Cloud Cult fans who have overcome immense adversity and come out the other side. 2016 brings with it his first Narrative Feature that he wrote, directed, shot and edited titled, “The Seeker” which stars Josh Radnor of (How I Met Your Mother) and Alex McKenna (What Women Want). “The Seeker" has already won accolades and awards and is set to appear at various national and international film festivals. A More Civil War For four days in July 2016 the Republican National Convention convened in Cleveland, Ohio, bringing with it an estimated 50,000+ people including delegates, politicians, journalists, protestors and police. Amid growing security concerns, the secret service along with local authorities created an area dubbed “The Event Zone”– a city within the City of Cleveland inside which limited martial law applied. Geoff Yaw, a Director at Cleveland’s Think Media Studios using multiple crews trains his lens on characters emblematic of America’s deepest divisions. The compressed time of the four days of the convention and the compressed place of the Event Zone were used as a space in which to create an intimate and authentic snapshot of this turbulent moment in American history. The Trump phenomenon and America's current and most controversial divides are explored as they attempt to make sense of this complicated moment in American history. But rather than providing answers to the problems of our nation, A More Civil War, instead paints a picture for the audience to confront on its own. The message of the film is borrowed from the words of a popular activist chant: This Is What Democracy Looks Like.

BOSCH Free Passes

07 Apr '17

Be among the first to watch the new season of the hit Amazon Prime series, BOSCH! To attend a special (2) episode screening event of BOSCH on Wednesday, April 12 at 7pm at Cinemark Valley View, go to: http://www.gofobo.com/BOSCHGCFC Each pass admits 2. Available while supplies last. Seating is first-come, first-served and not guaranteed. ABOUT THE SHOW: LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch investigated his mother's murder for years, but was unable to bring the killer to justice in the end. Bosch remains tenacious cop who struggles to attain justice in an imperfect system; a system in which the guilty sometimes go free, and marginalized and forgotten victims become anonymous statistics. Based on Michael Connelly's best-selling novels The Black Echo and A Darkness More than Night, stories that pit Harry against ruthless opponents who threaten to ensnare him, the third season of Amazon Prime Video's streaming hit Bosch promises to be the most compelling yet. Starring: Titus Welliver (Lost), Jamie Hector (The Wire), Amy Aquino (Being Human), Madison Lintz (The Walking Dead) and Lance Reddick (The Wire) [Allied Integrated Marketing]<http://www.alliedim.com> Andi Barnett Allied Integrated Marketing 3601 Green Road, Suite 316 Cleveland, OH 44122 D: 216-325-6525<tel:+1-216-325-6525> Email<mailto:ABarnett@alliedim.com> | Website<http://www.alliedim.com> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/alliedim?_rdr=p> | LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/allied-integrated-marketing>
