When I Sing includes cameos from grammy voting artists, celebrities, Astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, and legendary musicians like Jackson Browne, Bernard Purdie, Leland Sklar, and Liberty DeVitto. This film represents the 99% of musicians, who Chorney feels can easily relate to her struggle as an indie artist. “My movie is like cheap therapy for musicians,” said Chorney. “You spend $30 for a ticket, and get a trip through your entire life, and hopefully, find it healing to know that you’re not alone. But I think anyone who has a dream to succeed and belief in themselves, will also relate. Too bad it wasn’t so cheap for me, though. This therapy cost me a shitload to make the movie!” Chorney giggles. Even though she still has to en- dure continued severe backlash and false accusations concerning her nomination, Chorney turned lemon into lemon aid. She stress- es that the motivation of this film is not revenge or sour grapes. She can step out of her shoes, look objectively, and say, “This is a great fucking story. It just so happens to be my life story...and many others. Best of all no one can hurt me when I sing.” w When I Sing June 20, 2018 at 8:00pm Atlantic Cinemas 82 1st Avenue, Atlantic Highlands Click here for tickets NJ STAGE - ISSUE 47 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 94
