THE POLYGLOTS: A MUSICAL ODySSEY
REQUEST FOR MUSIC (RFM)
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JULY 15, 2011
Afropolitan Legacy Theatre (ALT) is seeking original music submissions to compose a soundtrack for its next project, a short film entitled “My Mother’s Tongue”. This narrative follows a teenage boy as he learns the value of his mother tongue when his mother loses her ability to speak. The story explores themes of multiculturalism, acceptance, and loss, and thus ALT is seeking musicians who reflect the same in their artistry.
The title of the soundtrack is “THE POLYGLOTS: A MUSICAL ODYSSEY”. Tracks selected for this project will be uploaded to a Bandcamp page (www.bandcamp.com) and cross- linked to the film’s website. The album will be sold as a collective and proceeds will benefit both the artists and the film’s production costs. Two songs will be shared every week,
in random rotation, to promote the sale of the music.
Artists will be paid once every month beginning September 1, 2011 for the duration of the use of their song for our fundraising purposes.
All proceeds will be divided into two:
1) Artist compensation
2) Raise funds for production of the film
All genres of music and spoken word are welcome. Special consideration will be given to artists who sing/rap in more than one language but English-only submissions are welcome as well.
Selected artists will be credited in the end credits of the film as well as on the film’s website.
Please send files in mp3 or jpeg format. Songs should be 3 – 6 minutes in length. Send all material to mymotherstongue@gmail.com
Thank You and Good Luck!
Afropolitan Legacy Theatre is a NYC-based production company that shares the Afropolitan experience through
