BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, USA (September 18, 2006) - Mariska Hargitay, who portrays Detective Olivia Benson on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, is set to narrate a uniquely animated documentary about a cartoonist's escape from Hungary during the country's bloodiest revolution.

Ms. Hargitay, a 2006 Emmy® Winner, 2005 Golden Globe Winner for Lead Actress in a Draw Series, and a 2004 SAG Nominee for Lead Actress, is the daughter of screen legend Jayne Mansfield and Budapest-born body builder Mickey Hargitay, Mr. Universe 1955. She gained recognition with NBC audiences from her recurring role on ER as Dr. Greene's sometimes scattered girlfriend, desk clerk Cynthia Hooper, in the 1997-98 season of the award-winning drama. Other television credits include starring roles in the television movies The Advocates Devil, Night Sins, and David Lynch's Hotel Room. Additionally, Ms. Hargitay was seen in guest-starring roles on Seinfeld, Ellen, thirtysomething, Wiseguy, and In the Heat of the Night.

Freedom Dance, the animated documentary by Emmy®-nominated filmmaker Steven Fischer and Telly Award Winning animator Craig Herron, retells the story of artist Edward Hilbert who, during his four months on the road to freedom with his newly wedded wife, kept a journal of cartoons detailing an adventure that included having his apartment hit by a blast from a Russian tank; a tense smuggling out of Budapest in a truck of crated apples; the robbery by an opportunistic escort; a dream-like Christmas in Vienna; and a punishing ocean voyage across the January Atlantic.

Mr. Hilbert also designed and illustrated hundreds of pictures used as the basis for the movie's unique 2-and-a-half-'D' animation. Freedom Dance is scheduled for release in November 2006.

Sadly Mr. Hilbert passed away on August 22, 2006 due to complications from lung cancer. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Judy; daughters Rose Crowley and Michelle Batt; and a baby granddaughter. The Hilbert family request that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the documentary's completion.

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, USA (August 29, 2006) - Freedom Dance, the animated documentary by Emmy®-nominated filmmaker Steven Fischer and Telly Award Winning animator Craig Herron, which re-tells the inspiring escape story of a cartoonist from Communist Hungary to the US in 1956, has been making quite an impact on UK audiences. Not bad for a movie whose final cut hasn't yet been released.

Channel 4, UK's leading independent TV network, recently began showcasing a 4-minute version of the 30-minute experimental documentary on their on-line series, FourDocs. Since its first appearance on July 26, Freedom Dance has received many flattering reviews posted on the site, including one from Channel 4 Commissioning Editor Kate Vogel who wrote, "The sound really did bring this film to life for me, making the animation emotional and giving it immediacy."

Reviewers and fellow filmmakers alike running weblogs express an equally excited anticipation in seeing the finished product due out in November. "GraphicQuarters" wrote that Freedom Dance was "a shocking story that somehow has even more grip due to the animated elements." And "Soundmary" reports that the movie is "an amazing film and the animation really made the story come alive." Charlie Philips, Editorial Assistant at FourDocs, summed it up simply and succinctly: Freedom Dance is "a great doc."

On May 29, Frozen Moon Productions in Wrexham, Wales announced that Freedom Dance had made it as Finalist in its Frozen Moon Movie Trailer Showdown, a film festival exclusively for movie trailers. As a result of its Finalist status, the one-minute thirty second Freedom Dance trailer is now being shown in the UK on Propellor TV through Sky Digital Satellite.

Finally, on August 26, Freedom Dance made its appearance at the London International Animation Film Festival thanks to Canadian filmmaker Marie-Josee Saint-Pierre who used a 12-minute excerpt of the movie as an exceptional example in her master class on making an animated documentary.

Freedom Dance retells the story of artist Edward Hilbert who, during his four months on the road to freedom, kept a journal in cartoon form detailing an adventure that included having their apartment hit by a blast from a Russian tank; a tense smuggling out of Budapest in a truck of crated apples; the robbery by an opportunistic escort; a dream-like Christmas in Vienna; and a punishing ocean voyage across the January Atlantic.

Mr. Hilbert also designed and illustrated hundreds of pictures used as the basis for the movie's unique 2-and-a-half-'D' animation. Freedom Dance is scheduled for release in November 2006.

Sadly Mr. Hilbert passed away on August 22 due to complication from lung cancer. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Judy; daughters Rose Crowley and Michelle Batt; and a baby granddaughter.

BALTIMORE, MD, USA (August 22, 2006) - Edward Hilbert, former child actor of such Hungarian classics as A Meseauto (1934) and Az uj foldesur (1935) has died after long battles with ramifications of lung cancer. He was 78-years-old.

At the time of his passing, Mr. Hilbert and his wife, Judy, were the subjects of Freedom Dance, a half-hour animated documentary retelling the adventurous story of the Hilberts' life-changing escape from Communist Hungary to the US during the violent 1956 Hungarian Revolution. During his four months on the road to freedom, Hilbert (a professional artist) kept a journal in cartoon form detailing an adventure that included having their apartment hit by a blast from a Russian tank; a tense smuggling out a Budapest in a truck of crated apples; the robbery by an opportunistic escort; and a horrific ocean voyage across the January Atlantic.

Mr. Hilbert also designed and illustrated hundreds of pictures used as the basis for the movie's unique 2-and-a-half-'D' animation. Freedom Dance is scheduled for release in November 2006, though it has already experienced much popularity in the UK, its trailer and a special 4-minute cut appearing on Channel 4's FourDocs web showcase and Sky Digital Satellite. Freedom Dance is produced by Emmy®-Nominated filmmaker Steven Fischer and Telly-Award winning animator Craig Herron.

"Edward was always generous with his time and talents," Fischer said. "He was a very positive person who easily saw the silver lining around even the darkest cloud, encouraging young people to follow their dreams while they were still young."

Herron added, "Working with Edward has been one of the great experiences of my life. Life may end, but art and cinema continue on and I am hoping that the story of Edward and Judy Hilbert will continue to inspire for many decades to come."

In the past year, Mr. Hilbert bravely battled lung cancer, succumbing to complications in the afternoon of August 22. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Judy; daughters Rose Crowley and Michelle Batt; and a baby granddaughter. The Hilbert family request, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the film's completion.

Baltimore, Maryland USA (Monday, January 2, 2006) - Award-winning writer/producer/director Steven Fischer, who was nominated for an Emmy® Award in 2001 for Silence of Falling Leaves, his art film-looking homage to Polish POWs murdered in the Katyn Forest Massacre during World War Two, and well-known artist Edward Hilbert are scheduled to appear on Baltimore's Fox 45 morning program January 20, 2006 to promote a new documentary produced by Fischer and animator Craig Herron.

During the Fox interview, Fischer and Hilbert will be promoting the Freedom Dance Art Exhibition at the Norman & Sarah Brown Art Gallery located inside the Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore in Pikesville, Maryland. The original artwork from the movie, penned by Hilbert (which are based on the drawings from his 1956 sketchbook) will be exhibited from January 9 to Febraury 10. There will be a special reception on Sunday, January 22 from 3-5 p.m. at the gallery (5700 Park Heights Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21215). In support of the movie, the Ambassador and Cultural Attache from the Hungarian Embassy in Washington, DC are scheduled to speak at the event as well as a representative from the American Hungarian Federation. The filmmakers will be selling the movie's exhibited artwork to raise finishing funds.

Freedom Dance re-tells the dramatic escape of artist Edward Hilbert and his wife, Judy, from Hungary to the United States during the riotous 1956 Hungarian Revolution. During their 4 months as refugees, Edward, a professional cartoonist and animator, kept a journal in cartoon form detailing their escape, an adventure that includes being illegally smuggled out of Budapest; having their apartment fired on by a Russian tank; losing their home; a robbery; Christmas in Vienna; and a punishing boat ride across the raging January Atlantic.

What makes Freedom Dance unique is that the documentary is told using character-driven animation intercut with recorded interviews of the subjects, photos, and historical footage of the Uprising. The animators are bringing the pages of Hilbert's cartoon journal to life on the big screen without sacrifice to the integrity of their subjects or history.

Using cartoon art to re-tell a serious drama is not completely new. Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus and Marjane Satrapi's two volume graphic novel Persepolis each successfully recount dramas using pen & ink.

To date Freedom Dance has been endorsed by the Embassy of Hungary, the Mayor's Office of Baltimore, From the Heart Foundation, and the Center for Strategic & International Studies. Support has also come from the American Hungarian Federation and Advocates for Survivors of Torture and Trauma. Fiscal Sponsorship for the movie is provided by the International Documentary Association in Los Angeles, California.

Baltimore, MD (October 2005) - Steven Fischer and Craig Herron, the multi-award winning producers behind the much talked about animated/live action documentary, Freedom Dance, about an artist's extraordinary escape from Hungary during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, were recently invited by the office of Baltimore mayor Martin O'Malley to deliver the keynote speech (along with their subject and character designer, Edward Hilbert) at the 2nd Annual Baltimore Immigration Summit.

Earlier this year, the Office of Mayor O'Malley endorsed Freedom Dance, stating "...Freedom Dance is an uplifting story which inspires us by the remarkable endurance of the human spirit under the most difficult of circumstances. As a city of immigrants that recognizes the challenges faced by many who came here, and cherishes and encourages cultural diversity, as well as artistic talent, Baltimore is fortunate to count you and the Hilbert's as citizens."

Freedom Dance is a 30-minute experimental documentary that uses character-driven animation to re-tell the escape of Edward and Judy Hilbert from their home in Hungary in 1956. During their 4 months as refugees, Edward, a professional animator and cartoonist, kept a journal of the adventure in cartoon form. Craig Herron is animating the dramatic imagry from the journal, images of tanks blasting at the Hilbert's apartment; their smuggled escape in an apple truck; the robbery by the opportunistic escort who snuck them across the Austrian border; and the violent ocean voyage from Germany to America.

BALTIMORE (July 2005) Award-winning filmmakers Steven Fischer and Craig Herron were recently awarded a rare honor: recording the authentic sounds of the historic Liberty ship, SS John W. Brown.

The filmmakers are recording the distinct sounds of the ship's steam engine along with incidental noises such as whistles, bells, boilers, steam-powered winches and related ambient sound for their new movie, "Freedom Dance", an inventive documentary that uses both live action footage and character-driven animation to chronicle the dramatic escape of a young artist and his wife from the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The couple made passage to America aboard a World War Two-era transport ship.

Out of more than 2,700 Liberty ships built between 1942 and 1945, only 2 are known to be active: the SS Jeremiah O'Brien in San Francisco; and the SS John W. Brown in Baltimore.

Craig Herron, animator, co-producer and co-director of the movie explains, "We wanted the John Brown because it's somewhat similar to the troop transport ship, the USS General Leroy Eltinge, we feature in Freedom Dance. That distinction is important."

Kevin Hill at Studio Unknown, the movie's sound designer, adds his enthusiasm. "The animation (Steven and Craig) have is somewhat realistic, so it's appropriate that the sound track, which has a subconscious sound design, also be somewhat realistic. Real sound adds to the drama and emotion and believability of a scene. I hope we'll have more opportunities to record authentic sounds on location."

Writer, co-producer and co-director Steven Fischer, who was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2001 for "Silence of Falling Leaves", his tribute to Polish POWs murdered in World War Two's tragic Katyn Forest massacre, and Mr. Herron, whose 2003 animated short, "A Fall From the Clouds", was distributed by New York-based Film Movement, began work on their experimental documentary last year. Since then they have gained endorsements and support from the Center for Strategic & International Studies in Washington, DC, the Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore, and the Hungarian and Austrian Embassies.

Capturing the sounds will require careful recording over the course of two days starting this September. The film crew has been granted permission to come aboard one day before the September 3rd cruise as well as the day of the cruise.

"FROM BUDAPEST TO BALTIMORE"

Baltimore, Maryland, USA - Award-winning filmmakers Steven Fischer and Craig Herron have announced the start of production on an independent live action and animated documentary called "Freedom Dance", based on the amazing sketchbook-journal kept by Hungarian-born artist Edward Hilbert while escaping from Hungary during the violent 1956 Hungarian Revolution.

October 1956. University students in Hungary uprise against Communist oppression. Russian tanks quickly appear on the scene and Budapest becomes a bloody riot. Edward and Judy Hilbert (in their mid-twenties and married just 3 months) decide the risks of escaping occupied Hungary are worth it after their apartment is hit by a blast from a Russian tank. Carrying only what they can on their back, the runaways begin their escape by trading their home for a dangerously illegal truck ride to the Austrian border smuggled amongst crates of apples.

Throughout his escape, Edward kept a journal in cartoon form detailing a 4-month adventure filled with near death experiences, a robbery, Christmas in Vienna, and an unforgettable voyage across the raging Atlantic.

"Freedom Dance" is a short documentary (to run about 30 minutes) that tells its story using recorded interviews, photographs, and images from the uprising. But what makes this documentary of notable difference is the filmmakers' creative use of character-driven animation. Using a unique technique dubbed 2-and-a-half 'D' animation, the pages of Mr. Hilbert's cartoon journal come to life on screen to illustrate each episode of the adventure. Mr. Hilbert (http://www.hilbertartstudio.com) is designing the characters and illustrating the backgrounds, adding a personalized touch to a moving and personal yet universal story of survival, the fight for freedom, and the test of human endurance.

"Freedom Dance" is currently scheduled for release independently, September 2005. Web: www.freedomdancethemovie.com

ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS: Mr. Fischer and Mr. Herron first worked together in 2000 on the Emmy-nominated "Silence of Falling Leaves" (a PSA written and directed by Fischer and animated by Herron honoring Polish POWs murdered in World War II). Mr. Fischer is best known for his Steve & Bluey cartoons which aired on radio and cable from 1996-1999. (http://www.steveandbluey.com).

Mr. Herron began his animation career in he mid-1970s. His 2003 short, "A Fall From the Clouds", received a Telly Award, a Gold Aurora, and a Best Animation Award at the Red Bull Independent Film Festival before being picked up for distribution by New York-based Film Movement.
