Thanks again to everyone who came out Saturday night to partake in the magical music of Perl Django. As mentioned several times by the appreciative crowd, the five masters of their crafts put on a magnificent show, virtuoscity flashing from their fingertips like sparklers on the Fourth of July. Even my musician buddies stood in awe of their talent. It was a great eight month series and as we refresh and regroup for the second series, wish me luck in our marketing meeting tomorrow when I propose to extend the series to ten. NOTE: Do you have a favorite local act (or not so local) you think our audience would like to see up on the stage? Call me. 206.451.4336 and share the love.
CIVIL WAR. Where to start? Last night in our post screening exit poll, as I listened intently to a couple search for antonyms and metaphors, it struck me as a perfect comparison, that of four friends sitting at a table enjoying each others company, perhaps on a deck overlooking the water on a summer evening, working on a crossword puzzle. Obviously the puzzle is of secondary concern to the conversation and camaraderie. Hours later, when the sun has set, they finish. But there are four pieces missing. Huge holes in the mosaic. They all frustratingly search for the missing pieces and failing in the attempt, finally give up. Sad, because so much effort was applied only to be ended without the satisfaction of seeing the fruit of their labor. It was fun along the way, but without the complete final product, it feels like they have been wasting time, or cheated somehow. The puzzle of course was the poster of CIVIL WAR. Read this for another interesting POV, one taking a much deeper state of our society approach.
BACK TO BLACK: The extraordinary story of Amy Winehouse's early rise to fame and the making of her groundbreaking album, Back to Black. Told from Amy's perspective and inspired by her deeply personal lyrics, the film follows the remarkable woman behind the phenomenon and the tumultuous relationship at the center of one of the most legendary albums of all time. Here is a review from Variety for you needing a little more depth and detail prior to viewing.
Lastly today folks, I am pleased to introduce another tangential offering in our weekly celebration of the arts by the launch of (not quite sure on what to call this) my read of my screenplay. Not too catchy, I know, but maybe by next week’s Chapter Two I will have something a little more, ah, Hollywood. Although I am happy with Lynwood. Please at your earliest opportunity take a listen to the menu item labeled ONCE AN ENEMY. Chapter One, as will be the format, runs a mere ten minutes, so your commitment is not a big ask. Hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think.
All for today, see you at the HLT.
Kevin
