*Dramatic comedy film, #50Fathers to screen in Akron* Independent motion picture studio Triangle Park Entertainment LLC and its Chicago-based production partner, Madwerkz Studios LLC announced that their motion picture, “*#50Fathers*” will be screened at the Akron Summit County Public Library Auditorium (60 S. High St., Akron, OH 44326) on Friday, June 12, 2015 at 6 pm. *#50Fathers* is a dramatic comedy written and directed by Joddy Eric Matthews *(Seeing Tomorrow, The Deadly Return Project, The Bubble)* and filmed in Northeast Ohio. *#50Fathers* will also be made available June 5th to viewers around the world through video-on-demand (VOD) on Reelhouse (www.reelhouse.org) and other prominent streaming platforms. The story follows Dominique ‘Nique’ Hathaway, a blue-chip high school athlete (Johnathon L. Jackson) as he prepares to sign a lucrative professional sports contract to play football or baseball. He seemingly has the world at his fingertips except for the one thing he desires most…a father. He and a group of friends launch a social media campaign to attract candidates to serve as a father to his younger brother, Tyree and himself. Fifty prospects will be screened and the one selected will be paid $10,000 per month once Nique signs his pro contract. “This isn’t a sports film; it’s not about teams, touchdowns or baskets. It’s about what’s really important in life... family,” says Matthews. “The focus is on the values of fatherhood and the importance of family,” he adds. “We believe the timing is perfect for a film of this nature.” The *#50Fathers* soundtrack was constructed by the film’s Music Supervisor Maurice of Akron and award winning Director Joddy Eric Matthews. Maurice collaborated on the movie’s title track, “Cold, Cold World” with Grammy Award winning guitarist Michael J. Calhoun, a founding member of the group Dazz Band. Maurice, who doubles as Associate Producer, states, “When this project started, I never dreamed we would have such an incredible array of talent contributing to it. We are featuring some of Ohio’s top musical talent and multiple international artists on the soundtrack as well. Great stories with great acting call for great music.” Also adding 4 original songs to the film’s musical compilation was Akron native musician/producer Eriq Troi (George Clinton, George Duke), international actress turned musician DJ Coco Brown, NYC singer/songwriter Peter Kelly, and more. "I'm incredibly proud to be a part of this project,” says Maurice. “It's been life changing in many ways and I'm just excited to bring it to my city (Akron).” *#50Fathers* stars Johnathon L. Jackson and Kyle Carthens with Joseph Primes, Mikel Mahoney, Tati Ana, Giovanni Castiglione, Latecia D. Wilson, Sonia Bishop and Denny Castiglione.
