Hello,
As you may know many Ohioans are struggling to be actors, crew
members, directors, and producers. They can only imagine having more
opportunities to work in movies, television, or web series without having to
uproot their families searching for jobs. They dream of having a viable career
in the cinema industry while residing here in Northeast Ohio.
With the amount of creative talent here, a wealth of film
festivals such as the recently completed Cleveland International Film Festival,
our area is begging for a sustainable Cinema Industry that will create
productions for TV, movie theaters, and the Internet. Prelude2Cinema is
currently building a database of these local filmmakers, actors and
crewmembers - https://cinemaindustrydatabase.wordpress.com/. This
database is the hub of our Cinema Industry in Northeast Ohio,
bringing together the abilities and resources of individuals to
create something much stronger.
Prelude2Cinema is planning on using many of these individuals in
its productions. Currently Prelude2Cinema is working on four productions:
“de la Oscuridad”, a sci-fi crime drama and its companion pieces, the
video blog “Bring Crime 2 Cleaveland” which will be featured to promote
real life victims of crime as well as the series “de la Oscuridad",
"Cleveland Breaking News", a fictional news program that will also be
used to promote the show. The first “episodes” of “de la Oscuridad” will be a
90 minute movie titled “que, sera, sera.” “De la Oscuridad” will be a SAG-AFTRA
production – using both union and non-union actors. In addition, we are producing “Secret
Agent Sofia”, a kid's spy program.
Prelude2Cinema believes artists should be paid, but they should
also remember that it is not called “Show Business” for nothing. Our tagline is
"Subtle, Honest, Entertaining, Advertisement.” Only by benefiting the
business community, can one create a new industry here.
Currently we have 5 incredible sponsors:
Lucy’s Sweet Surrender - Lucy’s was our first sponsor and we are glad they are returning.
We will get a chance to shoot in their brand new place on Chagrin. 20314
Chagrin Blvd. Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122. Prelude2Cinema Love’s Lucy’s
Pastries. Country Couture & Co.: They
specialize in rustic and shabby chic flower girl dresses adding burlap,
flowers, pearls, buttons and choices in different bows or custom sashes. Ashlin Jewels: Creative
hand-made jewelry items from Ashlin Jewels. United Gymnastics: All levels
of Gymnastics training as well as a new Intro to Parkour class.
We are continuously on the lookout for ideas, people and
businesses wanting to build with us. We hope that by building the cinema
industry with bricks of the business community and mortar of community
involvement we will have a strong foundation for many projects to be designed
and created here in the NEO. If you are interested in being involved in
our productions or becoming a sponsor, contact Alex Michaels, the Studio chief,
at 408-203-6981. Filming for "Secret Agent Sofia" and
"Bring Crime to Cleaveland" is already underway. Shoots for “de
la Oscuridad" and "Cleveland Breaking News" will begin May
15, 2015.
