To whet your appetite here are some stills taken from the film (camera by Benjamin Kasulke) and one picture of the crew and myself taken by my momma.

PSKS Outreach Day

On Wednesday the 19th I spent a delightful afternoon with some of the staff and clients from the non-profit Peace for the Streets by Kids on the Streets (http://www.psks.org/about.html). I showed them "Holding This For You". They had smart and thoughtful questions and comments. And then we made wrisbands together using the props from the film as embellisments. Everyone seemed to have a nice time. One even said, "This is the best art project we've had in a really long time!" YAY! Thanks PSKS!

Vindicated

Last night my first major work showed for the first time. I sat in the theater watching myself full screen and the 20 minute film felt as long as the three years it took me to produce it. I was so excruciatingly nervous. Who am I to think anyone would be the least bit interested in watching my perspective? Finally the credits rolled and APPLAUSE and even a couple of CHEERS. I felt baptized, atoned, smiled upon by grace. So I want to send a thank you out there. Thank you for accepting what I have to offer.

"Holding This For You" Premier at Local Sightings

"Holding This For You" will be premiering at the 11th annual Local Sightings film festival at Northwest Film Forum.
Please join me in FINALLY watching this on the big screen. After over three years of work the film is presented as part of a shorts program "Movement in Place"... "an examination of movement and technique" along with 10 other films, some of which are dance oriented as well.

The show is Sunday, October 5th at 9pm at NwFF, 1515 12th Ave. Tickets are available through www.brownpapertickets.com or from their 24 hour hotline; 1-800-838-3006 and are only $6.12 for members and $9.70 general public.

A lounge is open afterwards where you can either spit in my face or congratulate me depending on how you feel about my work. I am so excited to be able to finally push this baby out into the world and hope you will join me for the occasion.

Photos from "Tracings"

These are photos from my latest film project "Tracings". Photography credit goes to Dave Hanagan. This is a very small peek at the film. There are several other scenes, but the shooting schedule was so tight we didn't get as many stills taken as we would have liked.

Film shot on location in an 1870's house in rural Riverside, UT at the end of July.

The "Tracings" production crew was:
Ben Kasulke: dp, etc.
Dave Hanagan: camera assistant, etc.
Nathan Hadley: sound op
Michelle Henley: pa, etc.
