Thanks to the dozens of people who came out and supported Starlight Productions at the premiere of our first feature film, Light!

The SWFL Business Alliance has announced that the Gulf Coast Symphony will play a free concert in Cape Coral for the first time as a cultural and entertainment experience during tough economic times.
Organized by the SWFL Business Alliance and Terrasi Media, this outdoor event, called “Cape Movie Magic,” will take place on Saturday, Feb. 28, at Cultural Park located at 528 Cultural Park Blvd., with activities starting at 11 a.m.
Presenting unique cultural events that provide some financial relief during the continued economic downturn is more important than ever while also providing an entertainment outlet for Cape Coral and neighboring residents, according to event organizer J.P. Terrasi, marketing director for the SWFL Business Alliance and president of Terrasi Media.
“We started talking with Andrew Kurtz, the Gulf Coast Symphony director, about 10 months ago with the possibility of the musicians coming to perform at the Cape,” Terrasi said. “I knew we (the B.A.), could make it happen because of how involved our members are in the community and with our connections.”
The event will start at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28, at which time the symphony will have a two-hour rehearsal, open to the public. The event will continue with three Cape Coral area high school jazz or pops bands that will each play a short performance. At 5 p.m., the Gulf Coast Symphony will come back on stage to play the actual concert.
Terrasi explains the music chosen are movie themes from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” ‘Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” “Chronicles of Narnia” and even one for the parents with “Schindler’s List.”
“This live concert has developed into a premier event with a lot of great things going on. We are actually taking steps toward branding ‘Cape Movie Magic’ as an annual event for the city of Cape Coral,” Terrasi said.
Aside from the music, there will be retail vendors, food vendors, drawings and even movie-themed dressed characters, brought in by Starlight Productions, which will be walking around and available for pictures.
“There will be another huge surprise at the event that we are not promoting. I guess you’ll just have to attend to see what that is,” Terrasi adds. “The event would not be possible without the support of the sponsors and City staff. The City of Cape Coral and the Parks and Recreation Department, particularly Todd King, has been absolutely incredible, including donating the use of the city’s stage.”

Prest hits the pool
From Director Marty Wisher: What a blast this weekend has been. We spent two full days filming the teen pool party scene. The kids were awesome. The weather was a tad cooler than we’re used to. But they were troopers about removing their jackets before the cameras started rolling.
Big kudos to Seth Billig (who plays Prest) for his willingness to be “knocked” into the pool (An icy 50-55 degrees). Of course, we had several takes. And I think the kids got a kick out of just hanging out after the filming. Munching, video games, and shooting archery with Ray.
Thanks to Sue Rawley for the majority of the photos – shot in “Sports Mode,” so we got all the action!
Marty Explaining a Scene
Well, another very productive day of shooting down. Only a couple more scenes to go and we’ll be hitting the post-production hard. Only minor hitches today, including a little early morning carpet cleaning we had to work around. Excellent work from all of our teen stars, including the Wisher kids. We’ll pick up the rest of the scenes tomorrow. Enjoy the photos posted below:
