American Harmony - The Single Biggest Public Relations & Membership Recruitment Opportunity Ever Presented To Chapters of the Barbershop Harmony Society

 

American Harmony, the documentary, had a very exciting and      

successful  screening at the Barbershop Harmony Society’s 2008  

International Convention in Nashville. Now the producers, Aengus

James (who is also the writer/director) and Colin Miller, want to take it

beyond the barbershop devotees. The film, which is a tribute to the 

human musical spirit, is more than three years in the making and was

edited by Kate Amend, the editor of two Oscar-winning documentaries.

The movie is an in-depth look at the amazingly rich subculture of a true 

American art form. It follows the lives of some of the biggest names to

emerge from international competition in the Society’s history, as well as 

interviews with rank-and-file members, called “Joe Barbershoppers.” The film features four prominent Society quartets – OC Times, Max Q, Vocal Spectrum, and Reveille – over a span of years, on stage and at home, in their personal quests for international recognition as they experience the thrill of victory, and the agony of not quite making it. American Harmony received an enthusiastic reception from film distributors and other non-Society audiences.

“The film is a mixture of obsession, singing, zany comedy and nail-biting competition,” says James on the website. “This is the story of several dreamers who journey from their ‘ordinary’ lives to the world stage in the hopes of winning the gold.”

 

American Harmony was filmed by James and his camera crews during the Society’s last three international conventions and is interspersed with footage and other graphic elements provided by the Barbershop Harmony Society. These elements combine to tell a very compelling story:

The goal is to get the film into theaters across North America so that everyone will have the opportunity to see it on the big screen. A major player who has experience in distributing independent films is very interested in American Harmony. This company has a great deal of experience marketing niche films by leveraging the built in fan base for a project at the grass roots level. The method by which this person will commit resources to promote the film depends upon the Society's level of support.

 

Don’t miss this chance to help showcase barbershop to a wide audience through the most thorough and flattering view of barbershop harmony ever created.
