SECTION B MOVIE DIRECTOR
CAMPAIGNS FOR SUSAN BOYLE
The
producer/director of the upcoming film SECTION B,
still wants Susan Boyle. Regardless of the outcome of
“Britain’s Got Talent”, director Darla Rae is holding open
the role of “Lucy” in SECTION B for Susan. “We will
campaign for Susan to accept the role.” said Rae. “This is
an opportunity for Susan to get her feet wet with a small
role in an ensemble cast.
Film-it Productions is
absolutely aware of contractual obligations between Susan
and the show “Britain’s Got Talent”; however SECTION B
will shoot after the show’s finale and our offer still
stands. Our offer would not impact Susan other than by
giving her a positive increase financially, and a
professional acting credit under her belt.”
A “Britain’s Got Talent” spokesperson was quoted as saying
“We thought it was odd that they went directly to her.” But
to Darla Rae, it wasn’t an odd move at all. “As a filmmaker
you have to be creative and entrepreneurial.” says Rae. “In
this business, you’ve got to go outside the box. We went to
Susan directly, because we wanted her to know that we
desired to have her join the cast. It has been my experience
that many times talent never even sees your offer. In this
case, we did make contact both with the show and Susan
personally. As a director and producer, it is my job to
field the best cast possible for the production and in the
case of SECTION B; Susan will round it out
beautifully.
The SECTION B cast already includes Cyndi Lauper,
Tippi Hedren, Marla Maples, Ace Young (“American Idol”
Season 5 finalist) and “America’s Got Talent” finalist,
Queen Emily David. SECTION B supervising
cinematographer is William “Billy“ Fraker, whose work has
been nominated 6 times for Academy Awards.

YOUTUBE SENSATION SUSAN
BOYLE OFFERED MOVIE ROLE
Award winning Colorado
filmmaker Darla Rae has reached out to offer “Britain’s Got
Talent” contestant and overnight Internet sensation Susan Boyle,
a part in the feature film SECTION B. SECTION B (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1008037/)
is now in pre-production with a cast and crew including music
icon Cyndi Lauper, award winning actress Tippi Hedren,
actress/model Marla Maples, Maples daughter Tiffany Trump (in
her acting debut), ‘America’s Got Talent’ finalist Queen Emily
David, Steven Parker (ER, Juno) and legendary cinematographer
William ”Billy” Fraker (Tombstone, Rosemary’s Baby).
SECTION B is a dramatic comedy about Baby Boomers who put
their lives on hold to chase their dreams. In the film, a group
of “over the hill’ wannabe actors give up everything to realize
their dreams and attend a prestigious acting academy. Once
there, they meet their biggest nemesis – youth. It is a family
feature film appealing to all generations and encourages viewers
of all ages to never give up on their dream. It’s based on the
real life story of producer Darla Rae’s experience at The
American Academy of Dramatic Arts, in Los Angeles.
Rae says “Susan Boyle’s real life story is exactly what the
movie Section B is about - chasing your dream no matter what.
And I understand her completely, because our stories are almost
identical. I promised my ill mother who passed away that I
wouldn’t give up my dream of making films. So at age 47 I wrote,
directed, and produced my first feature film, The Goal. We went
on to win awards, and now we’re getting ready to shoot Section B
with some amazing talent. When Susan stepped onto the stage and
began to sing, tears welled up in my eyes. As I watched her, I
felt a connection and realized she’d be perfect for one of the
roles in Section B. We have an original song titled “Don’t Lose
the Vision” that would be a perfect duet for Susan and her
American counterpart, Queen Emily David from “America’s Got
Talent”. Susan studied at Edinburgh Acting School in the early
'90s but was forced to leave and care for her sick mother. I’d
love to help her finally fulfill her dream of being an actress!
We’ve even sent offers through the local Pub manager where Susan
Boyle sings Karaoke. Hopefully our offer will reach her and
you’ll see her on the silver screen soon.”
