Maitland, FL (Top40 Charts/ Florida Film Festival) The 2012 Florida Film Festival sponsored by Full Sail University, announced today that rock idol
Rick Springfield will attend the World Premiere of AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART. Emmy® Award-winning filmmaker Sylvia Caminer and mega-fan turned executive producer Melanie Lentz-Janney bring us face-to-face with this Grammy® Award-winning musician, songwriter, actor, and New York Times best-selling author. The music doc spotlights Springfield's most fervent fans as passionate about him today as they were when "
Jessie's Girl" was #1 in the early '80s. The film has garnered a prestigious position as one of 10 competing feature documentaries in a record-breaking year for Festival entries.
"I'm proud to be a part of it," comments Springfield. "They went real deep, and there are some scenes that are pretty amazing… stories that I've never heard before. Some of these fans have been with me for 30 years, so I'm really intertwined in their lives. That's the crux of the film."
The 2012 Festival runs April 13-22 in Central Florida. Springfield will be available for red carpet media interviews on April 19th at 9pm. Fans have the unique opportunity to engage in a private, audience Q&A following
Thursday night's screening. The filmmakers will attend both screenings and answer questions offering behind-the-scenes, exclusive insight into Springfield's life, music, and fans.
