Please join Rhode Island native and renowned Director/Producer Michael Corrente and representatives from the Rhode Island Film & TV Office and the Providence Mayor's Dept. of Art, Culture and Tourism at 3PM on Thursday, June 12, 2008 at the Soldier's and Sailor's Monument in Kennedy Plaza facing Providence City Hall, as Mr. Corrente announces plans for filming his long-awaited political biopic THE PRINCE OF PROVIDENCE.

The cast includes Dermot Mulroney, Adam Goldberg, Bradley Cooper, Ed Burns and Oliver Platt, who will portray former Providence Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci in the David Mamet adapted screenplay of Michael Stanton's 2003 book about one of America's longest-serving mayors. Robin Williams is currently in negotiations to join this talented group of actors.

"The passion I have for THE PRINCE OF PROVIDENCE is stronger then any film I've made to date. Through much scrutiny and speculation, I've spent six long years preparing for this picture. I have painstakingly taken the necessary time to make sure that all my ducks are in a row. This is my home state, and I have an obligation to ensure that the quality of the production matches the brilliance of the material. At the end of the day, and every day does end, nobody ever cares about how long it takes to make a movie; they only care if it's good", stated Mr. Corrente.

DATE: Thursday, June 12, 2008
TIME: 3PM

This year it will be hosted by local comedians Melissa Bowler and John Ring! This is an event where professional producers and directors can seek out talent for their projects, performers can see what other performers are doing, and 48 hour teams can cast and crew up for the big upcoming film project.

Beginning at 7pm, performers will each have up to two minutes to perform a monologue, comedy routine, or other type of performance to impress the audience of filmmakers, casting agents, theatre directors and other local entertainers. The order will be decided on a first come first served basis (Ahtspot members have a chance to pre-register, see below for more details). If we cannot get to everyone on the list in time, some people may not be able to perform. If your name is called at the event and you do not come up, you are immediately moved to the back of the list, so make sure you are there and ready to go at 7pm.
