Lolita Ritmanis, Michael McCuistion, Kristopher Carter Featured At “PlayFest” Event Starting This Weekend
Lolita Ritmanis, Michael McCuistion & Kristopher Carter – also known as Dynamic Music Partners – travel to Spain this coming Sunday, July 22nd, 2012 to be featured guests at PlayFest – the festival for music for animation and video games. The BSOSpirit Association is organizing the first edition of PlayFest, which will be held in Úbeda from the July 23rd to July 29th, 2012. Ritmanis, McCuistion, and Carter have a full schedule of events scheduled for the festival – including a master class for composers on Tuesday, July 24th, presenting a panel for film music fans on Friday, July 27th, and participating in a panel honoring the late Shirley Walker on Saturday, July 28th. This all culminated with a special concert where fans will hear music from their favorite shows, including special musical suites performed by an 80-piece orchestra and choir. The performance will include pieces from Justice League, Batman Beyond, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, and Justice League Unlimited. Dynamic Music Partners will be posting live updates from the festival on their official website.
Lolita Ritmanis, Michael McCuistion, and Kristopher Carter all took a few moments to share their thoughts on their upcoming appearance on PlayFest, and why this event is not to be missed.
“What a terrific opportunity to connect with the people who are interested in our music!,” says McCuiston. “I’m particularly excited to hear the live orchestral suites, since much of this music has never been performed with live musicians before – It’s going to be awesome!”
“I love to travel and experience different cultures,” adds Ritmanis. “The fact that we will have an opportunity to break bread with fans of our music half way across the world is quite wonderful!”
“The night of the concert we will be paying a musical visit to the scores from some of our favorite projects like dear friends we’ve known for many years – such as Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and Justice League – to more recent companions – such as Ben 10 and Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” Carter says. ” I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share our work in this way and celebrate music for animation and video games with fans of both genres!”
PlayFest, the festival for music for animation and video games, will be held in Úbeda from the July 23rd to July 29th, 2012. Click here for the more details on the PlayFest event.
Additionally, Green Lantern: The Animated Series composer Freddie Wiedmann and series producer Giancarlo Volpe have announced they too will be attending the PlayFest event. A late addition to the line-up, a 15-minute set from Green Lantern the Animated Series will be performed by a 120-piece orchestra on July 28th, 2012.
A recent interview with Lolita Ritmanis, Michael McCuistion, and Kristopher Carter is available to read through the The World’s Finest website.

Actress Molly Quinn Reveals ‘Super’ Role In Upcoming DC Comics Premiere Movie Title
Actress Molly Quinn, currently starring in the procedural television drama Castle, announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 that she will be voicing the character of Supergirl in an upcoming animated feature. The animated feature will be part of the ongoing DC Comics Premiere Movie line released through Warner Home Video. While the studio has yet to make any official announcement on the project, the actress revealed her role will be part of an animated feature adapting the recent Superman: Brainiac story-line published by DC Comics.
As described by DC Comics, Superman: Brainiac is a “hard-hitting story that revitalized one of Superman’s greatest foes – and brought the bottle city of Kandor to Earth.”
This animated feature, currently untitled, joins the 2013 slate of DC Comics Premiere Movie releases scheduled to include Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part Two and a third as-of-yet untitled and unrevealed animated feature. While not confirmed, it has been reported the third 2013 title in the DC Comics Premiere Movie line will be Justice League: Flashpoint, with Kevin Conroy voicing the role of Batman, but Warner Home Video has yet to confirm any upcoming title beyond the two part Batman: The Dark Knight Returns adaptation.
Comic-Con International was held this past weekend at the San Diego Convention Center – from July 12th to 15th, 2012. The annual event focuses on host of different genres and pop culture events, including substantial announcements on theatrical films, animated features, and comic book projects. A break from recent years, Warner Home Video did not present a dedicated panel for the DC Comics Premiere Movie line.
Warner Home Video is expected to announce upcoming titles in the DC Comics Premiere Movie line, including details for the highly-anticipated Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part One home video release. The DC Comics Premiere Movie line is a co-production between Warner Premiere, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation.
