Local Film Production Adopts Theater in Need

While raising money for their upcoming feature film, “Untouched,” the

producers decided to donate a portion of their proceeds to a mutually relevant organization; The Tybee Post Theater.

 

First City Films, LLC wants every aspect of the production to highlight the community’s beauty and historic value. “As we raise money for the budget, we also want to show our support by giving back to the community the film is portraying,” said co-producer Angelique Harville. “It is our honor and privilege to aid in the revival of a piece of entertainment history and give back to the community which has given so much,” stated Chip Lane, writer and producer of the film.

 

Built in 1930, The Tybee Post Theater was utilized by the post soldiers and their wives

until Fort Screven was decommissioned. The theater fell into disarray after being used as the local entertainment hub for 15 years. “We are grateful they’ve chosen us,” said SarahJones of Save the Post Theater, Inc. First City Films is donating portions of all funds raised to the restoration of the theater. Save the Post Theater is currently working to bring the building up to code in order to utilize the facility.

 

The first fund raising event will be a Battle of the Bands, on April 17th at 2pm at LiveWire Music Hall, followed by Battle of the Artists on May 1st at 5pm. The winner of the Untouched Battle of the Bands and Untouched Artists will work with the producers on the soundtrack, as well as, have a music video produced by First City Films, LLC and make a cameo appearance in the film. Interested bands and artists should visit www.TheFilmUntouched.com for more information and to register. Registration has begun

and will end on March 20th.

 

Filming of “Untouched” is scheduled to begin late summer 2010.

 

Please contact Angelique Harville at 912-656-4927 for more information.
