ZITZ M E D I A R E L E A S E

 

ZITZ is locally produced feature-length musical film. It is the product of three separate parties:

 

Paul Kooperman is the writer and co-producer of the film. Paul has been a professional playwright since 1993 having had productions on at the Regal Theatre, Effie Crump Theatre, the WA Academy of Performing Arts, Subiaco Theatre Centre, PICA and the Blue Room Theatre as well as a piece filmed at Channel Nine Studios. Paul was also the Katharine Susannah Pritchard Established Writer-in-residence in 1997. ZITZ is his first screenplay.

 

Timothy Brain is the director of the film. Allison Snell is the Director of Photography. Together, they are the founders of FROM THE HIP PRODUCTIONS. They are also co-producers of ZITZ. After also being involved in the ëPerth Theatre Sceneí, Tim and Allison branched out early in their careers to form a production company and make films. ZITZ is a new adventure for the pair, being their first feature-length musical film.

 

Carmel School have provided the resources and funding for the film. The students from the School are the key actors. The show stars Nicky Karro, Monique Rothstein, Romi Gordon and Sarah Levitt. The film has been largely achieved through professional ëindustry peopleí coming in to work with the student actors.

 

Paul, Tim and Allison have been the main inspiration behind ZITZ, which will be screened at the ASTOR CINEMA opening September 2nd.

 

What if a teenage girl decided to live out every kidís fantasy by running away with her three best friends, to live happily ever after?

 

ZITZ is the story of Romy Zitsman, a girl from a broken home, who does just that. It is a romantic idea that all children dream of, all parents fear, and all people (at some point) fantasize about.

 

ZITZ is about a girl who refuses to grow up ñ a modern day Peta Paní. But not everything ends like it does in the movies.

 

A CD of the soundtrack has been released and will be available at the show, when it is screened in September at the Astor.
