    Music by America's Veterans We are proud to announce the release of Unsung Heroes, a collaboration between America’s combat veterans and APM songwriters. Unsung Heroes was born out of the experiences of veteran Richard Casper whose moving story led him to dedicate his life to helping other wounded veterans through the healing power of music through an organization he co-founded, (www.creativets.org). Working together, an American veteran and an APM songwriter write a song inspired by the veteran’s wartime experience and they share songwriting credit and reve- nues from licensing of their music by APM. This first release includes nine powerful songs with both vocal and non-vocal versions. We hope you will be inspired to find a place for these songs in your productions. A percentage of APM’s profits are donated to CreatiVets.

  • Hannah Wells Designated Survivor
    Hannah wells designated survivor Continue © 2020 ABC Entertainment's Margaret quigley (Maggie) FBI Agent (previously terminated) Presidential Emissary CIA Analyst First Appearance Pilot #identity/crisis Hannah Wells was a former FBI agent who investigated the U.S. Capitol during the President of the Richmond State Of the Union Address. She was played by Maggie Kew. Under the leadership of Tom Kirkman, Hannah became the lead investigator in the case of the terrorist attack that killed everyone present in the Capitol (except Peter McLeish, as it was later discovered). During the events of the first season, Hannah was the one who eventually found that Peter McLeish, the survivor of the Capitol bombing, was hiding in a bomb shelter near the Capitol and that he was connected to the conspirators responsible. She also discovered the identity of another conspirator named Catalan. Eventually, she was able to expose the conspirators who called themselves true believers and thus led to their downfall. She was working on an investigation into the murder of Eric Little, who was bribed by Alex Kirkman's mother. Which in the end, Alex Kirkman won, but then died in a car accident. She was working on an investigation against Andrea Frost, whom she believed to be a hacker known as Gamin, who was responsible for hacking NASA, the Washington, D.C.-based power grid, the president of Kirkmans Tape Therapy, and other hacks, resulting in several deaths, including Damian Renneth. She publicly humiliated Andrea Frost, accusing her of doing so and sabotaging President Kirkman after the president told her to find concrete evidence, and Frost admitted in a private conversation at a cabinet hearing against Kirkmans' ability to remain in office.

  • Directed By: Josephine Decker Written By: Sarah Gubbins Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman
    SHIRLEY Directed by: Josephine Decker Written by: Sarah Gubbins Starring: Elisabeth Moss, Odessa Young, Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman Running Time: 107 Minutes CORNERSTONE FILMS CONTACTS: Publicity: Anna Bohlin/ [email protected] Marketing: Joanne Michael/ [email protected] SYNPOSIS Fred and Rose move to a small Vermont college town in pursuit of a job for Fred as an assistant professor of literature. The young couple receives an offer for free room and board from professor Stanley Hyman, as long as Rose agrees to spend time cleaning up the home and looking after his wife, acclaimed horror author Shirley Jackson. At first Fred and Rose detest the rocky household of the eccentric couple, but they eventually establish deep bonds with their counterparts, which will test the limits of their young love. Director Josephine Decker makes an exciting return with a biographical portrait brought alive with energy and imagination, based on a novel by Susan Merrill and screenplay by Sarah Gubbins. Shirley is a fresh take on the period drama, full of contemporary intrigue and dynamic in style. It features a stellar lead cast—Elisabeth Moss, Michael Stuhlbarg, Odessa Young, and Logan Lerman—who all return to the Festival to give another memorable performance. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Shirley Jackson was a wildly unorthodox human and storyteller. Encountering her work was like finding a map towards becoming the kind of artist I would like to be. Daring. Intimate. Structured yet dreamlike.
