MADISON, NJ — Film lovers and supporters of independent cinema are invited to a special edition of Show Us Your Shorts on Tuesday, May 27 at 7:00 PM, featuring an exciting exclusive first look at the upcoming Mortenveld Productions short film, Back Up.
Held as part of the monthly Show Us Your Shorts showcase, this month’s event will include a premiere screening of the official preview for Back Up, the newest original film from award winning filmmaker Brian Mortensen and Mortenveld Productions.
Back Up is a unique mystery thriller told across three intersecting timelines: one moving forward, one moving in reverse, and one frozen in time. The story follows investigators racing to solve a murder in a quiet community where the only way to uncover the truth is to back up.
Show Us Your Shorts is a monthly gathering that celebrates short films, local filmmakers, and creative storytelling in a welcoming community setting. 
Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy the showcase experience while being among the very first to see what’s coming next from the team behind award winning productions including Company and My Roommate Dan.

Hard Rock Cafe

Fall in Love with Rock All Over Again
Inside the legendary Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, discover an experience where music isn’t just heard… but felt.
Rock Never Dies is a one-of-a-kind immersive theatrical event from American Immersion Theater that is part concert, part love story, and fully a magical journey. This groundbreaking production invites you to dine, drink, and fall headfirst into the soul of rock and roll.
Enjoy a full three-course meal inside the Magical Mystery Museum of Hard Rock, a place where music has power, memories come alive, and one life is changed forever every night. It’s an experience that inspires you to keep dreaming and march to the beat of your own drum.
At the heart of the story is Caroline, a young artist who’s lost hope and heart. As legendary music icons come to life around her, she’s forced to confront love, loss, and the courage to take the stage again. Along the way, you won’t just watch the story, but be part of it.
Created by award-winning, immersive visionary Scott Cramton, often called the Willy Wonka of Immersive Theater, this joyful, high-energy spectacle blends iconic rock anthems with romance, comedy, and electrifying audience interaction.
Whether you're on a date, celebrating something special, or just chasing that feeling music used to give you, this is your night.
All it takes&nbsp;
is one song, one moment, and a second chance
to change everything.

Alexander Kasser Theater

Discover Rhapsody in Blue will be The Discovery Orchestra’s 7th public television production. From Bach to Saint-Saëns, our television programs have reached millions of viewers across the United States and around the world—significantly elevating the profile of The Discovery Orchestra and showcasing our signature approach to helping audiences listen more deeply to classical music.
This year, we turn to George Gershwin’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue, a dazzling fusion of classical tradition and jazz energy that captures the heartbeat of 1920s America. Its rhythmic brilliance, sweeping melodies, and unmistakable spirit continue to resonate with audiences. Join Maestro George Marriner Maull and The Discovery Orchestra as they uncover what makes this masterpiece so timeless—and why it continues to thrill us a century after its debut.
We are thrilled to feature special guest pianist <a href="https://claytonstephenson.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Clayton Stephenson</a>, an internationally-acclaimed virtuoso known for his joyful charisma, expressive depth, and fresh, poetic interpretations. His dynamic artistry brings a powerful new voice to Rhapsody, making this performance especially exciting.
We invite you to the stunning Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University as we film this live Discovery Concert. Experience the electricity of a television production unfolding around you—the cameras, the lights, the behind-the-scenes choreography—and feel the excitement of being part of something created for millions to enjoy. Your presence will add energy and authenticity to the program!
