The Unknown Artists Set for LA Professional Premiere of 35MM: A MUSICAL EXHIBITION Starting Today

The Unknown Artists open the Los Angeles professional premiere of 35MM: A MUSICAL EXHIBITION on Friday, February 26, 2016 at 8 PM at the Dorie Theatre at The Complex, 6476 Santa Monica Blvd, Hollywood 90038.

35MM is scheduled for a four week run on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM. The production features actors Jeff Scot Carey, Cody Clark, Emily Clark, Nate Parker, Vincent Perez, Dana Shaw, and Katherine Washington.

Musical Direction by Brigham Freeth. Music and lyrics by RYAN SCOTT OLIVER, based on photographs by MATTHEW MURPHY.

Direction for this eighteen selection song cycle is shared by directors drawn from the Unknown Artists stable; including Lucas Alifano, Meghan Allison, Amy Bartlett, Jeff Scot Carey, Emily Clark, John Ross Clark, Allie Costa, and Kate Purnell. Each director will work with one or more stories from 35mm, as each selection stands alone in the song cycle varying structurally, tonally, and emotionally.

Representing a collision of artistic disciplines as disparate as musical theatre, photography, and pop/rock music, 35mm, according to press notes, "pushes the limits of self-expression to create an art form utterly its own. A collection of 'snapshot stories' are woven together as each of the evening's original songs is performed - with gusto and musical virtuosity - while the audience is immersed in stunning projections of the photography that inspired it. 35mm brings the connection between pleasures visual and aural into razor-sharp focus, creating a singular, multi-sensory emotional journey."
