Documentary with 'White Noise' Creators Now Online

Acclaimed documentarian James Quinn spent several days with the cast and crew of the 2006 NYMF Musical White Noise, watching rehearsals and interviewing the team. The documentary airs on Channel 4 at 10:30pm on Thursday, June 18th. It may also be viewed online at Channel4.Com.

According to Channel 4 Press Notes, "'Nazi Pop Twins' is a one hour documentary where filmmaker James Quinn investigates the controversial American pop band Prussian Blue, whose teenage twin girl stars have made headlines across the world with their white nationalist music and as poster girls of neo-Nazism."

Sibling Theatricals, Inc. has optioned theatrical and film rights to White Noise. Future production plans have not been announced.

White Noise was conceived by director Ryan J. Davis and features music, lyrics and book by Joe Drymala, with additional songs by Ben Cohn and Sean McDaniel, Rick Crom, Glen Kelly, Laurence O'Keefe, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and Eric Svejcar.

White Noise is described by the authors as follows: "An adorable pair of sisters, Blanche and Eva, lead the teen band White Noise, mixing irresistible harmonies with white power rhetoric and taking the nation by storm. Their message of racial purity resonates with young people across America and the rise of White Noise coincides with a rise in the white supremacist movement which threatens to engulf the country, as Blanche and Eva prove themselves to be masters of the most terrifying and unstoppable form of Fascism in today's culture:  Top Forty pop."

Ryan J. Davis and Joe Drymala met on Gov. Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, where Drymala was Dean's head speechwriter and Davis was a campaign videographer. They teamed up to create the musical White Noise, which played in the 2006 New York Musical Theater Festival and received national media coverage on ABC Primetime and Good Morning America, and in the New York Post'sPage Six Magazine and Radar Magazine. In 2007, Davis and Drymala produced the pilot episode of the satirical backstage sitcom "Breaking In," written by Drymala and directed by Davis. Episodes two and three of "Breaking In" will premiere in the coming weeks, and feature cameos by Broadway stars Robert Cuccioli and Sarah Salzberg and Tony-winning Broadway composer Lisa Lambert.
