CHOIR NEEDED TO MAKE JOYFUL NOISE IN NEW INDEPENDENT FILM
Gospel Singers Sought for Award-Winning Writer/Director’s Latest Project
(MURFREESBORO) –Local gospel choirs who want to reach a wider audience are invited to try out for a role in a new independent movie, “The New, True Charlie Wu,” written and directed by Dr. Bob Pondillo, professor of electronic media communication at MTSU. Auditions are slated for Monday, Oct. 20, Wednesday, Oct. 22, and Friday, Oct. 24 from 6-10 p.m. each evening in Studio C on the first floor of the John Bragg Mass Communication Building. Pondillo is the creative force behind three independent award-winning short films—“Would You Cry If I Died?,” “My Name is Wallace,” and “Wait …”. Two of those films, “Wallace” and “Wait …,” were accepted at the internationally prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for your group to get more exposure,” says Pondillo. “We’re looking for exciting, uptempo, soulful singers who can project a lot of positive energy.” Each choir will have about 15 minutes to perform, and choirs may choose their own audition material. To make an appointment for an audition, or for more information, contact Veronica Privett at 615-752-7024.
