Photo-main

35MM is a musical theatre exhibition by composer-lyricist Ryan Scott Oliver based on the photographs of Matthew Murphy.

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!
