SHOWTUNED
SHOWTUNED is a weekly podcast about musicals and the craft of storytelling through song, hosted by @BrettBoles (educator to 680K+ followers and 15+ year BMI Workshop veteran) and Josh Shelton (Counterpoint Musicals).
Launched in Spring 2026, we are building community, featuring guests, and sharing deep dives into the layers of ways songs tell stories - from melodies to harmonies, lyrics to dialogue, characters to scenes - and how it all comes together in this unique medium where songs are the engine of the story.
TEMPO RUBATO
A musical, sci-fi love story, TEMPO RUBATO, places us inside a married couple’s attempt to use time-travel to save their relationship.
A musical feature film, designed for indie-film production with minimal locations, 3 characters, and a high concept —no dance numbers, no glitter—this story lives in the music, pulling us into the honest emotion of the characters.
Watch the 9 minute proof-of-concept, filmed in 1 day, 5 person crew, under $5k.
