May 17, 2012 - Producers Lisa Nemzo and Mary Ann Skweres in conjunction with Dream Wild Productions have announced the release of “Arlington” – a music video honoring America’s fallen and injured military servicemen and women.
Directed by Skweres, “Arlington” will premiere June 1 at 2:45 p.m. during the Dances with Films Festival, (Chinese 6 Theatre, Hollywood-Highland Complex). The video recently received the prestigious Merit Award for best music video at the 2012 Accolade Competition held in La Jolla, Calif. Featuring the song of the same name written by Nemzo and now deceased lyricist Artie Colatrella, the story was inspired by the tragic account of one serviceman – Private First Class Michael A. Arciola – who died Feb. 15, 2005 while serving in Iraq.
“I first learned of Michael’s story in the summer of 2011 and was immediately moved to write a powerful song that would memorialize the fallen heroes and the countless families affected by war,” said Nemzo. “As a country, we cannot turn a blind eye and forget what these families have sacrificed and continue to struggle with.”
When Skweres heard the song, it was an easy decision to join in creating the video. “I don’t know of any music videos that make an audience cry,” she commented. “But the emotional resonance of this song goes straight to our most primal feelings – the bond between a mother and a child.” read more>>>
