"Standing Ovation" Opens, Highlighting Phila. Talent

The pre-teen musical Standing Ovation opens today in movie theatres.  KYW's Steve Nikazy spoke with two of the people behind it.

The upbeat film is about a group of friends entering a national music video contest:

(from film:)  "We're all going to have to make sacrifices..."

Producer James Brolin says it's a message of inspiration:

"I'd like to say that being creative, that we're helping to remodel the youth of America."

Director Stewart Raffill:

"It celebrates the kids of this area, Philadelphia and South Jersey. They're amazingly talented."

And it's fun to watch for local landmarks.  Standing Ovation, in theatres now.
