"Tell 'Em About the Dream" Video
Timothy Reed & Avery Njau performing, “Tell ‘Em About the Dream”
Hello everyone,
Check out the new music video of the song "Tell 'Em About the Dream". It features Avery Njau and I recording the piano/voice demo version of the song. It's one of 12 songs I've written for the movie/musical Childrenopolis. Duane Busick filmed at Airtime Studios, while Chip Reardin was recording the audio.
Here is a link to the YouTube video.
In the actual movie this song will feature kids singing and dancing in Temptations style, in the city of children called Childrenopolis, as Mahalia Jackson recalls when she helped Martin Luther King with his I Have a Dream speech, at the March for Jobs and Freedom, in Washington D.C, in 1963.
"A goodwill ambassador is sent from a city of children to help some people fulfill dreams they've given up on" is the tagline for the Childrenopolis movie. I have co-written the screenplay with David Heavener.
I've entered the screenplay in 4 competitions so far: The Screencraft Comedy Screenwriting Competition, The Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition, The Launchpad Feature Competition, and the Genre Screenplay Competition.
Childrenopolis is a big budget film similar in scope to the 2017 Beauty and the Beast. It also is similar in some ways to La La Land, and In the Heights. The makers of these movies might be interested in Childrenopolis. So if you have any contacts at Walt Disney Pictures, Mandeville Films, Summit Entertainment, Gilbert Films, Marc Platt Productions, Black Label Media, Lionsgate Films, or Warner Bros. Pictures, we would be most appreciative and thankful if you would connect us!
Also, we would like to consider Meryl Streep for one of the supporting lead roles. If anybody has connections with her, please let us know.
And for one of the lead roles we are considering either Dustin Hoffman or Johnny Depp. So please let us know if you have connections with either of these actors!
