 MASTERPIECE: illumination  

(the curtain called mentioned in the body of this information is represented in the video at the bottom)  
 Here is a brief overview of the vision. I am making this short because I have days to finalize the booking for the venue. I think its important for you to understand the basis and background of the project in order to understand the opportunity
 Background:   In February of 2013, someone posted on Facebook that they were having their film shown at a festival in Baldwin Hills California. At the time, all you had to do is post that you were having a premiere or a play and my body was in the audience. I understood the importance of being in the 'seats' for your fellow thespians so I would go to everyone's public project often bringing in a group to support.
 In December of the same year, I went to another film fest in Hollywood at Raleigh Studios. The same film I witnessed in February was playing in that showing. After it was over, I wanted to figure out a way to have these films reach success and a bigger audience in a faster manner.  Going through the pipeline of a film fest seemed like a long, arduous process that ended up with your film sitting on the shelf. I went home that night and thought of a plan...a strategy. By the next morning I created something called THE REVOLUTION. It would be a multimedia situation aimed at launching the next superstars. I wanted to create a platform that looks like what you see with Netflix, Apple TV and Amazon Prime. A home where you could stream original content. In 2014, the superstars had not taken to the idea of being part of the streaming world or doing limited series, so it was a wonderful breaking ground for rising talent. Of course things have changed now with the biggest celebrities taking to the streaming and changing the landscape for new talent.   

 I held a meeting in Hollywood and invited every actor who would listen to come and hear the pitch.  I sat in the middle of the theater and explained my vision. Everyone was on board and I was ready to work hard on creating something big and powerful. I hired photographers, film crews and booked one of the biggest venues in LA. A classy classic venue that has held stars such as Art Garfunkel, Melissa Manchester, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Sheena Easton, Bea Arthur and Spike Lee. I wanted the REVOLUTION debut to be dazzling and spectacular. I wanted visual representation in the promotions so a photographer was in place to capture various images of the actors. I had shirts made with the REVOLUTION logo.  I went all in. It was a 20k plus project out of my pocket. I even sold a villa I owned in Redondo Beach California to fund the future of the show as well.  I was doing it for the  love of the art and the love of the actor.  I was immediately met with ego, attitude and privilege. I had to scrap the first group of actors and hold a second meeting.  In this second meeting  I let them know to check your ego at the door and that this was a fun and happy endeavor.
 For the second group, hanging around them for only a small amount of time studying their movement, cadence and rhythm allowed me to create characters embodied their movement and sheen. The show was scheduled for September and incredible invitations were sent out to the 'whose who' of Hollywood. Sony, BET, Warner brothers and numerous production companies accepted our invite. We had talent agents and managers in the building, It was really a night of Hollywood.

   
 The show was a spectacle, touching on comedy drama and multimedia. IT wasn't a political themed show, just a true night of escapism. As the actors took their bow, I knew I had created diverse production for the record books. The applause were thunderous. The audience leapt to their feet honoring the production and actors with a standing ovation! In the aftermath of the event,  there were offers from several Hollywood entities that were in the audience. There were investor offers that topped out at 300 thousand dollars!!!  .   Sadly drama found its way back in by way of one of the actors who told a lie and spread the drama to his co stars.  I remember walking on the trails of Palos Verdes with my best friend after the show and he told me that it was not worth the stress. I had recently encountered a stress issue that almost cost me my life and my buddy was pleading with me to move on from that platform if I 'wanted to live'. I listened and stopped any advancement of the project and turned down any investments offers. Lots of lessons learned

.
 Now, 12 years later, I am in a key year of creating. My final year in a platform of illuminating the actor. A few actors from that original era came to me recently apologizing for that bad time period. When the theater recently called saying they had a cancellation for April 25th 2026, I thought hard about creating another major multi media project in the name of illuminating the actor. I'm older, wiser and stronger than I was in 2014 and I decided to book it. My temporary hold ends on January 29. I am checking to see who would be interested in being part of a spectacle as mentioned in this story. 

 Basics: April 25 would be a preview night. All short stories would be a pathway to expansion. In other words lets say your story line is called  'The Accused'. We would preview the story in the show and we would then expand it to its own short film series. We would also create a Series Bible and tie you into the pitch.  This is just an example, but the moral is that this is a project to illuminate the actor in a major way launching with a SPECTACULAR, heavily promoted once in a lifetime Los Angeles event. None of the projects have minor characters. Every character is prominent and created using your essence. Doesn't mean a villain is created cause you are a villain. Just means that your rhythm is infused into the character
 Final Understanding: After the 10 minute industry preview spectacle, the projects that expand from there will be on the daily payment compensation mentioned in the casting notice.   This is an opportunity so I am just checking to see the interest. 

  If you are in fact interested, send an email to
 revolutionmasterpiece@gmail.com In the email heading put 'review me for Illumination'  In the body of the email put any scenes or reels you have. If you have none, we will send you a scene to film on something as simple as a cell phone
