MY UPCOMING FILM PROJECT
"THE UN-SUNG HERO"
A 63 minute Docu/Drama about Nashville's "Street Musicians"- talk of needing a smoke,a hit, a drink, a savior, a smile, a tender word. They are the Homeless, the born again, the old-time giggers, the musical hopefuls and, on rare occasion, the aspiring classical musician. They plant themselves in front of some of Nashville's most notable merchant shops - no license required - hoping tourists will toss loose bills and change into their tip cans and instrument cases.One on One interviews on how they came to Nashville with a dream, only to end up on the streets taken by an "IdolMaker" shattered dreams,or getting their priorities on life itself mixed up living on the Streets.I will be submitting it in The 2009 Nashville Film Festival.
Still looking for other"Film-Anthropists" for funding/ involvement on re- shooting and adding more b-roll..and distribution for an updated version..go to my IMDb resume
