New Soundtrack Artist & Next Steps

We are very excited to announce another addition to the Silent Lucidity soundtrack. She is Brianna Lane, an incredibly talented musician who currently resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is described as the chick who puts the word "singer" in singer/songwriter. Brianna grew up in Minnesota so you can blame her sweetness on her roots, but this girl has been on the road non-stop for two years so you can hear her experiences in every note she sings. She has a voice and a presence beyond her years. She strums an acoustic guitar with the same sweetness and power in which she sings. Brianna is currently touring nationally in support of her newest release "Radiator". Others say Brianna's songs are beautiful and cathartic, almost telling us that it's OK to feel down, but not to let it get us down at the same time. Her acoustic guitar gently weeps through almost a dozen indie-rock tunes, wandering through an introspective depression while maintaining a brave face all the same (Mish Mash). The soundtrack will feature Brianna's single "When I Get There". An introspective and dramatic song that has the heart and feel to fit well in a specifically chosen scene by producer Matthew Nichols. Brianna is the seventh artist to be added to the soundtrack and adds a unique sound to the great variety and style of the other artists. You can find her songs, touring schedule, and biography at: www.myspace.com/briannalane or briannalanemusic.com. We are very excited to have Brianna with us and think she is a wonderful addition to the Silent Lucidity project (Matthew Nichols).

July will mark the beginning of a very crucial step of the pre-production process. Anytime you have an independent film, obviously one of the main and key factors is attaining the remaining funds to complete the production. Producers Matthew Nichols, Dan Kattman, and Drew Maxwell will be focusing on specific groups in the mental health and medical community. Initial interest in the project is very strong and individual investors are also showing a significant interest in the project. Kattman and Maxwell's previous experience in the independent film industry has indicated consistently that investors in smaller projects are more likely to invest for the creative and unique development of a project. Founding and original investors Mike and Joanne Roberson said they believed the film has great potential and wanted to be part of a project that started from the ground - up, and could be brought to fruition through Nichols' passion and vision for sharing his story of having bipolar disorder. July will also mark the next stages of completing the casting for the lead, female role of Leah Brooks. Several actresses have shown interest and casting will continue following the Fourth of July holiday week. Stay tuned!
