About this project
UPDATE 1/10/11:
Hey there, prospective new backers! We are still COLLECTING FUNDS and GIVING OUT GIFTS; and every cent will go to the production and album of 35mm. THANKS!
OUR ORIGINAL PROFILE:
Hey musical theater aficionados, art connoisseurs, and fans of RSO, Matthew Murphy, or the incredible actors and musicians of 35MM:
On behalf of the 35MM team (Composer-Lyricist Ryan Scott Oliver and Photographer Matthew Murphy), we're trying to raise the necessary funds to produce both
- An original cast recording and
- The world premiere production in NYC!
But we need your help! The cost of the album alone is well over $20,000, and any additional funds will go to subsidize the production. The elements for which the money will be used include:
- The cast, crew, and instrumentalists of the production and CD
- A full color booklet of photos on the CD
- The technical aspects of supporting a projection-heavy production
- And more...
Check out some samples of the show below!
