NEW SCRIPT CLEARS APPROVALS FOR "GOOD NEWS BLUES"
Ma Rainey's Band with Dorsey on the piano in 1924
The multi-million dollar story owned by MPC, "GOOD NEWS BLUES©", has cleared several approvals and is set for production. The new production and writing teams spent countless hours in researching an accurate portrayal of the evolution of Gospel Music through the life paths of Dr. Thomas A. Dorsey (known as the Father of Gospel Music) and several high profile prolific artists of the 20th Century.

The new script was delivered and received with very positive comments from well known Gospel enthusiasts and modern day artist. MPC is encouraged by the comments given, which were embraced by those who read the new script. The dynamic story with an outline of camera blocking was endorsed and approved by the entire group.

Location shooting for "GOOD NEWS BLUES"© is scheduled to take place in Detroit and surrounding areas. Detroit has been very aggressive in preserving many building and original facades of that period, 1920's. After attending a panel discussion hosted by "Film Detroit" at the WGA Theater in Beverly Hills, the MPC team went away with three additional locations they had not been aware of in past meetings with "Film Detroit".

The financial support team are excited about the new script praising it as a motion picture that will live on for a long run. In addition, the feature film will be shot in 3-D Stereoscope, which will increase the shelf life as more demand for 3-D content is broadening in Hollywood circles. MPC will incorporate the new AEDE technique in the approach to camera movement. These techniques perfected by MPC will add an unprecedented look and feel to the project.

"GOOD NEWS BLUES" is one of several stories MPC is producing about people who throughout history have made and contributed positive impacts to society. Films will be available for Theatrical release, as well as Pay-TV and Home Video sales in 2011-2012. A stage play adaptation of the feature film script in now in the process of completion.

MPC SIGNS DEAL DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH

BURBANK: As the nation celebrates Black History Month, MPC inked a deal with Author Joann Sanneh and Nocturnal Sun Press, Inc. to develop the story of Colonel Charles Young for the screen.

Charles Young was the first commissioned African-American United States Army Colonel. A graduate of West Point during emotional civil rights unrest in the late 1800's.

Colonel Young led a battalion and fought bravely leading his men in combat during the Philippine War. Col. Young was wounded in the jungles of Liberia marching to rescue his soldiers and under his command led the historic Buffalo Soldiers protecting the Sequoia National Parks. Colonel Charles Young became a decorated American soldier during the civil rights era in America.

Col. Charles Young
This true and well researched story, penned by Author Joann Sanneh, dives into a time of major change from slavery to equality in America. Colonel Young excelled past the indifference and bridged the attitudes in spite of the unjustified indignities this American hero endured.

The working title: "HERO OF THE RACE" is in script form. MPC has agreed to develop the project for international audiences. The project is a period piece, the second period feature film project MPC has contracted to undertake.

MPC Chairman John Cummings said, "these are the kind of projects we at MPC get excited about...American hero's...we need to know more about great people who paved a path in history for future generations and the story of Colonel Young is an example of the hardships a generation endured to bring us to this time in the world".

MPC has started the process to bring this story to a production level. Cummings added, "the passion Ms. Sanneh has for this project and the in depth research she has done for over three decades will bring a truly historic and compelling story to audiences, we're honored to be included and bring the adventure to life".
