Two Orange County and New York film production companies, C. Lee Productions LLC of Middletown and Willy-Gilly Productions Inc. of Goshen, have worked together to produce the pilot for an upcoming TV show titled “Black Poetry.” Written by local author Stewart Thomas of Middletown, the show highlights the struggles and difficult choices of a black family as they work all angles to bring some accountability, dignity and purpose to their lives in their small urban environment.
The show stars Tray Chaney and co-stars Misha G, a new local talent trained by The Academy of Film, Television, Stage and Performing Arts in Goshen. Other Academy grads cast in prominent roles include Chandler Mac of C. Lee Productions, David Mosca and Fabienne Justin.
For all interested in pursuing a career in acting, The Academy is offering a one-hour workshop on July 23 at 11 a.m. at CoLab, 45 St. John St., Goshen. For reservations, call 845-294-7500. The Academy of Film, Television, Stage and Performing Arts is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation.
