Wade Robson Wins An Emmy For "So You Think You Can Dance?" - Outstanding Choreography

Ultra-choreographer Wade Robson can now add Emmy winner to his long list of accolades. Robson took home an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography for his work on the hit Fox television show, So You Think You Can Dance. The Emmy comes as no surprise to fans of the show, who routinely rave when dancers perform his pieces.

Robson earned the Emmy for choreographing the piece "Ramalama" from the show's second season. The piece, which was first danced by the top nine dancers, proved to be the most popular among the dancers and fans alike, and was brought back and performed by all 20 dancers in the show's finale to critical acclaim. It's clear that Robson is a talented choreographer. However, Robson's talent has blossomed precisely because he has never limited himself to choreography.

Robson parlayed his talent as a dancer and choreographer into a multi-faceted entertainment career and fame and fortune that eludes typical choreographers. Wade Robson is represented by Los Angeles entertainment attorney Helen Yu. Yu, who has helped Robson secure deals in diverse areas including cinematography, tv and film production, original dance music production, his own MTV show, his own line of shoes, and the coup de grace, a three-picture director deal with Disney. While other choreographers may have stood content choreographing dances, Robson has become a household name by consistently taking advantage of opportunities.

Helen Yu says, "For Wade, choreography is his first love, and this has helped him on a global scale in front of millions of fans on SYTYD. With Robson's talent and his worldwide exposure, I knew it was only a matter of time before he took home an Emmy."

LAMONT DOZIER: An Architect of Modern Music's Pop Sound

(Los Angeles, -- August 28, 2007) A new feature film documentary about hit-songwriter and producer Lamont Dozier, the mastermind behind such milestone smashes as "Stop in the Name of Love," "Baby Love," "I Hear a Symphony," and "Reach Out, I'll Be There," promises to reveal a vital chapter in American music history. While the legendary Motown artists such as The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, and Martha and the Vandellas are well known -- and their songs have been playing on the airwaves virtually non-stop since their creation -- Lamont Dozier, the writer and producer of these songs, has remained largely out of the spotlight.

All of this is about to change with what promises to be an engrossing and revelatory documentary about this prime architect of modern pop music and the creative genius who influenced legends like Babyface, Joss Stone, Lennon/McCartney and countless others. Lamont Dozier has essentially shaped the definitive soundtrack for an essential era in modern American music and culture.

With 54 #1 charting songs, including 13 consecutive #1 hits, Dozier has been named by Billboard magazine as the #2 songwriter of all time and has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Post-Motown, Lamont helped shape the modern 80s UK Pop sound by writing, producing and aligning himself with 80's electronica diva, Alison Moyet (#1 song, "Invisible"), Phil Collins (the Grammy winning/Oscar-nominated #1 hit "Two Hearts"), Simply Red, Boy George, Pete Waterman, Aretha Franklin and many others, who continually kept Dozier at the creative forefront.

The film is directed by visionary indie auteur AJ Schnack who is well-versed in capturing musicians on film, having previously directed a film about the front man of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain: About a Son. About a Son was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award, and debuted at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. About a Son offered piercing insights into the life, music, and times of the troubled rocker. Schnack's first feature film was also a music documentary, about the Brooklyn-based band They Might Be Giants, entitled Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns.)

The documentary is being produced by Helen Yu (who is also a well-known Hollywood entertainment lawyer) for Seattle based Nola's Salon Entertainment. Helen Yu's extensive relationships, both in the major studio and independent film worlds, are a major component as she has envisioned a call sheet of first-class talent to bring this project to the marketplace. The film's line producer, Anne Clements, is an award winning producer. Her prior film, Quinceaera, took the Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and also won an Independent Spirit Award in 2006.

Dozier's on-screen stories are complemented by a series of interviews with such contemporary luminaries as Elton John, Joss Stone, Eric Clapton, John Legend, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Phil Collins, Diane Warren, Pharell Williams, Glen Ballard, Dave Stewart, Alan Warner, Pete Waterman, and Michael Bolton that will underscore Dozier's undeniable role as a key originator in the history of American popular music.
