Have your music featured in Michigan made Film!!!

Michigan -Made Feature Film offers local bands & musicians a chance to compete for inclusion in the film’s soundtrack-
Submissions now through July 20th.

The producers for the Michigan-made feature film, Annabelle & Bear, are pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for Michigan bands and musicians, to compete for a chance to be featured on the film's soundtrack, with one lucky band or musician winning a cameo in the film.

Written and directed by Amy Weber, Annabelle & Bear will be shot locally and around the state of Michigan. But what really makes this production stand out from all other films being shot here is this: Annabelle & Bear will have a 100% Michigan cast and crew. So it’s only fitting that the soundtrack features Michigan talent as well.

The producers are only looking for original music that is owned exclusively by the band or Musician for this competition. Please do not submit music or songs that you
do not have exclusive ownership of. Send us anything and everything you
have that fits the emotional tone of the film.

The producers are looking for original local Rock compositions to use in the soundtrack. Stylistically, the prospective music should be in a Classic Rock vein- (ie: Seger, Springsteen, Clapton, Steve Miller Band) ranging from ballads to full out jams, lyrical AND instrumental. The prospective submissions can be melancholic, tying lyrically to the film’s emotional arcs, such as a disconnected and lost soul, a wounded spirit, an innocent love, love that heals, believing in someone, being saved by love. While not having to be specifically written about the narrative, the overall feeling of the song should be emotional.

The producers are also looking for a single thematic piece of music to use throughout the movie. We would like simple, emotional acoustic melodies (ie: Brokeback Mountain) that we could build on during transitions and montages, as well as original songs that help capture the film's story of love and redemption.

Visit http://www.annabelleandbear.com/ and click on MUSIC to read more about the rules of competition and to submit songs and music.

Selected pieces will be posted on the http://www.annabelleandbear.com/ website for
visitors to vote for their favorite piece of music. All songs will be selected by the producers for the soundtrack, and one lucky band or musician with the most votes, will win a cameo in the movie.

Competition begins on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009, (10:00am) and ends Monday, July 20th, 2009. (6:00pm)

The producers are excited to spotlight the musical talent, from here in Michigan and encourages everyone to submit your best.

The Story:
Annabelle & Bear is the dramatic, tender story of a man who suddenly finds himself thrust into fatherhood, and the unexpected journey that leads him to discover the life-altering love found in the heart of his little girl.
