Hi Atty Martin. I'm from New Orleans and this sounds like it will be a very evocative film. I live in Los Angeles but it would be great to be apart of a project like this. Can't wait to see the finished product.

We're hoping to hear from classical musicians: vocalists, instrumentalists and composers with performance reels available here on Stage32. We'll soon release lines for online audition reel submissions here on Stage32 as well.
