YOUTUBE SENSATION SUSAN BOYLE OFFERED MOVIE ROLE
For Immediate Release April 17, 2009
Contact: Jennifer Wilde at (303) 883-6000
Award winning Colorado filmmaker Darla Rae has reached out to
offer “Britain’s Got Talent” contestant and overnight Internet
sensation Susan Boyle, a part in the feature film SECTION B.
SECTION B (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1008037/)
is now in pre-production with a cast and crew including music
icon Cyndi Lauper, award winning actress Tippi Hedren,
actress/model Marla Maples, Maples daughter Tiffany Trump (in
her acting debut), ‘America’s Got Talent’ finalist Queen Emily
David, Steven Parker (ER, Juno) and legendary cinematographer
William ”Billy” Fraker (Tombstone, Rosemary’s Baby).
SECTION B is a dramatic comedy about Baby Boomers who put
their lives on hold to chase their dreams. In the film, a group
of “over the hill’ wannabe actors give up everything to realize
their dreams and attend a prestigious acting academy. Once
there, they meet their biggest nemesis – youth. It is a family
feature film appealing to all generations and encourages viewers
of all ages to never give up on their dream. It’s based on the
real life story of producer Darla Rae’s experience at The
American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in Los Angeles.
Rae says “Susan Boyle’s real life story is exactly what the
movie Section B is about - chasing your dream no matter what.
And I understand her completely, because our stories are almost
identical. I promised my ill mother who passed away that I
wouldn’t give up my dream of making films. So at age 47 I wrote,
directed, and produced my first feature film, The Goal. We went
on to win awards, and now we’re getting ready to shoot Section B
with some amazing talent. When Susan stepped onto the stage and
began to sing, tears welled up in my eyes. As I watched her, I
felt a connection and realized she’d be perfect for one of the
roles in Section B. We have an original song titled “Don’t Lose
the Vision” that would be a perfect duet for Susan and her
American counterpart, Queen Emily David from “America’s Got
Talent”. Susan studied at Edinburgh Acting School in the early
'90s but was forced to leave and care for her sick mother. I’d
love to help her finally fulfill her dream of being an actress!
We’ve even sent offers through the local Pub manager where Susan
Boyle sings Karaoke. Hopefully our offer will reach her and
you’ll see her on the silver screen soon.”
