We’re getting closer as Shuler records the songs for Tradition.  It was so exciting to hear him bring life to the character and lift the words off the page as “Rupert”.  Stay tuned for a sneak peak into the recording session…

Joyful Noise starring Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah and Keke Palmer grossed $11.2 million dollars opening weekend.  Tradition writer John Kabashinski, is pictured here with Joyful Noise writer/director Todd Graff and producer Michelle Kabashinski, who is also featured in Joyful Noise.

After volunteering on the Communications and Fundraising committee with Oz Magazine and Georgia Film Book’s Tia Powell for the Georgia Production Partnership, Michelle was voted on their board.  

The Georgia Production Partnership (GPP) is a not-for-profit coalition of companies and individuals who are active in the state’s film, video, music, and interactive game industries.The GPP has worked to help form and pass the Georgia tax incentives bill, officially The Georgia Entertainment Industry Investment Act of 2008. Providing research, resources and support to the Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Office, GPP members celebrated the passage of, what has been called by numerous media and network executives as, “one of the best state tax incentives bills in America.” 

John and Michelle attended Big Mike’s annual Christmas performance, benefitting Toys For Tots.  One of the burlesque dancers from the show, Jessica Pack, a former NYC Rockette, will be performing in Tradition.   Stay tuned…. for her high kicks!

I am so grateful to all who have contributed and continue to do so. We absolutely cannot do this film without these donations. Thank you!

Day three for auditions.  Atlanta really has A LOT of talent.  Lance has a tough job.  I’m glad I’m not directing.  80% of the film is the right cast.  And tonight, Dancer auditions.  Yippie!  Can’t wait to see what Dustin, our beautiful choreographer created.

So much talent coming on board.  So excited to have Ken Blakey as our DP and Dustin Lewis as our choreographer.  This is really coming together.  Lights, Camera … MONEY!  Oh yeah.  Money.  I have to pay for all of this, somehow.
