MORNING PRAYER FILMS

Annapolis, Maryland: March 22, 2004: Morning Prayer Films, announces principal photography for Morning Prayer Over Chesapeake - A Love Story -, will begin filming in Spring 2005.

Written, produced and directed by Mike Way, Morning Prayer Over Chesapeake has been quoted by Hollywood insiders as the best love story since Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal starred in Love Story in 1970. Below are comments from the studio that considered producing but passed on the script:

"Morning Prayer Over Chesapeake" is a complex and spirited romantic drama in the same vein of Love Story. It's been a while since we've seen a solid, moving drama that features a love plot at the center and not the periphery of the story. There aren't too many straightforward love stories being made today and "Morning" fills the long missing gap.

That studio and others, considered morally based love stories as risky and passed on the project. As such, Mike Way decided  Morning was a story that had to be told and made the choice to go it alone immediately after the release of Cynthia's Dream. Cynthia is a  novel of a family in benign turmoil that comes to the brink of self destruction when self-centered self interest cause the core of the family to implode. Cynthia’s Dream, like Morning, is simply a conversation with the audience’s heart. Both dare to proffer questions we’ve all had but were afraid to ask in world where political correctness inhibits the search for absolute truth.

“Morning Prayer Over Chesapeake - A Love Story -” basically examines the premise of love-at-first-sight and positions the emotion directly next to lust-at-first-sight and the so-called mechanically perfect marriage.  Author/Director Mike Way calls Morning the one chick flick that even guys will want to see.   The poster below says it all.

Mike Way is the principal owner of Morning Prayer Publishing. He is planning his second and third film now, Sentient and The Hunter As the Hunted.

Other notes: MPP is a wholly owned subsidiary of CCS which began operations in 1984. Final casting in processing now.  Any appropriate releases will be submitted to your office.
