Are you familiar with "The Big Read"? This is an on-going program put on by the National Endowment For The Arts, designed to get people reading again. Organizations around the US sign up to be part of the program. They select a specific book they will use as part of the Big Read promotion.

A local library, having selected F451 as their theme book, hired me to perform at one of their events. I committed to writing two songs about reading. One of them is entitled, "Fire On The River", and is about a life in which people have lost their right to read.

The reason for this message is shameless, at best. As you have heard, there is remake of F451 being developed at this time. I would like the opportunity to present these songs to the producers for possible inclusion in the movie, but I haven't got a clue where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your time.

Just about all that is known about the proposed film is that it has been written by Frank Darabont, who will also direct it. I would think your best bet would be to find out who Mr Darabont's agent is.

I can't imagine you will succeed in getting your songs into the movie, but I wish you the very best of luck!

Thanks for the reply, Phil. I know several local singer/songwriters who have their songs in movies. One thing for sure; I'll never have a chance if I don't try.
