Malibu -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Aug 11, 2011 -- 1st Official Screening/Fundraising Event to be Held in Malibu, CA on September 26, 2011 ~ Includes acoustic set by Rick Springfield, Q&A hosted by Martha Quinn - Tickets on sale now! Limited seating!

Yellow Rick Road Productions, an independent production company, presents the first official screening of the new feature documentary, AN AFFAIR OF THE HEART: The Journey of Rick Springfield and his Devoted Fans. The private screening will take place on Monday, September 26, 2011 from 6:30pm – 11:00pm at the Malibu Screening Room (Malibu Jewish Center Complex) in Malibu, CA. A limited number of tickets are available to purchase for this once-in-a-lifetime event, which will include a short acoustic performance by Rick Springfield.

“We decided to expand our regular ‘Cast & Crew’ screening and offer a limited amount of tickets to the general public,” said Melanie Lentz-Janney, Executive Producer of the film. “As independent filmmakers, we are always looking for creative ways to garner funding. To offer an opportunity to watch the film for the very first time along with Rick Springfield and some other celebrity guests in an intimate setting seemed like a win/win scenario for everyone. In fact, we are keeping our attendance list at 165 people.”

The 97-minute film brings viewers face-to-face with Grammy® award-winning musician, songwriter, actor, and best-selling author Rick Springfield shedding light on his life and the lives of a few of his most fervent fans. The film showcases what it is about Rick Springfield that inspires his fans and drives them to be lifelong devotees. On the journey, we meet some of his fans and witness the unique connection he shares with each of them.

Rick Springfield and his management team gave their full cooperation to Yellow Rick Road Productions. The production crew traveled around the world with Rick Springfield and his band, and the featured fans selected for the film throughout 2010.

“We just finished mixing all the live music for it. I am very excited about it,” commented Rick Springfield. "The film crew went with fans back to their homes and talked with people who have had profound issues in their lives. It’s all about our connection, whether I’ve been aware of it or not. Pretty human stuff.”
