Monday, 16 March 2009 06:29
Big Screen Entertainment Group (PINKSHEETS: BSEG) is pleased to announce that the Nashville Film Festival has just confirmed that one of country music's most popular artists, Brad Paisley, will attend the world premiere of Big Screen Entertainment Group's new documentary, "William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet" co-produced with Five Star Productions and Special Entertainment. Paisley joins fellow musician Ben Folds and Shatner himself at the star studded event. He will also introduce "Gonzo Ballet" to the anticipated sold-out crowd.
Brad Paisley was named 2008's "Male Vocalist of the Year' at the Country Music Awards, and has charted an impressive 22 singles on the Billboard Country charts, with 13 reaching number one.
The festival has scheduled "Gonzo Ballet" for the coveted Friday night slot, April 17th at 7:30 pm, due to the intense interest in the film. The festival expects a virtual "who's who" from the worlds of entertainment and sports to attend, and has already had inquiries from as far away as Toronto from people hoping to come, according to festival Artistic Director Brian Owens.
Virtually every major television, radio and print outlet in the Nashville area has expressed their intention to cover the event, as have several national outlets. Interest in William Shatner has never been so great, thanks to his recent best selling autobiography, his starring role on ABC's "Boston Legal," his "Raw Nerve" talk show on A&E and of course, his ubiquitous Priceline "Negotiator" television spots.
"William Shatner's Gonzo Ballet" is a compelling mix of popular music and dance, and chronicles famed choreographer Margo Sappington's attempt to create a new, modern ballet set to the music of Shatner and Ben Folds, from their critically acclaimed album, "Has Been." As stated by musician Henry Rollins, "It's unlike anything I've seen before."
The producers are currently in talks with a major network for a national television premiere of "Gonzo Ballet" for the near future.
