The year is 1968. Thomas Gumbleton, a young priest, is suddenly appointed an auxiliary bishop in the city of Detroit. As the community reels from the devastating riots of '67 and parishioners' rage against the Archdiocese as it struggles to desegregate the parochial schools spills into his personal life, Thomas must choose whether to follow the demands of leadership or remain silent.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">On April 20th, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded off the Gulf of Mexico taking the lives of 11 workers and sank as millions of barrels of oil poured into the ocean creating one of the worst environmental disasters in history. Dirty Energy tells the personal story of those directly affected by the spill who now struggle to rebuild their lives amidst the economic devastation and long-term health risks. A story too often glossed over by the mainstream media and ignored by those sent to Washington to represent the will of the people, not the corporations.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The fate of the Gulf region and its inhabitants is largely unknown. The systematic failures of BP and the Federal Government to properly confront this environmental calamity with honesty and integrity have had powerful consequences. Sadly the human cost has been greatly underestimated and hidden from the public. Still today, the people of the Gulf are fighting to preserve their endangered way of life. This is their story.</span></span>ST3V3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006206579991550278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420681099062369476.post-12458316137504271982011-12-24T22:21:00.000-05:002011-12-24T22:21:15.709-05:00The video for "The Little Electro Boy" has gone live!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/eN1lPxrCwto?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>ST3V3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006206579991550278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420681099062369476.post-50484830036065100232011-12-14T12:32:00.002-05:002011-12-14T12:32:25.662-05:00Shake your christmas goose with these phat beats.<iframe width="400" height="100" style="position: relative; display: block; width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=4237554411/size=venti/bgcol=FFFFFF/linkcol=4285BB/" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0"><a href="http://thehottestyearonrecord.bandcamp.com/track/the-little-electro-boy">The Little Electro Boy by The Hottest Year On Record</a></iframe>ST3V3!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006206579991550278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420681099062369476.post-11324921840032371422011-11-12T14:48:00.000-05:002011-11-12T14:48:50.249-05:00swamp things3 recent cues from the BP oil spill documentary "Dirty Energy," premiering at the Santa Barbara Int'l Film Festival in February 2012.<br />

When he finds himself lost and unable to find a way home, Jason learns the true consequences of his actions and what it means to tresspass in places he does not belong on Devil's Night.<br />
<br />
The title of the film refers to the legendary Nain Rouge, or Red Dwarf of Detroit. This mythic figure has been a part of Michgian lore for more than 400 years and is said to be a harbinger of doom for the Motor City. Every year on the first day of spring Detroiters participate in the Marche du Nain Rouge, where they burn an effigy of the demon spirit in an effort to drive him away from the city.<br />
<br />
NAIN ROUGE is a short film by director Jasmine Rivera as part of the requirements for completing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Film Directing at Columbia University. Shot in Detroit in the fall of 2010 with a cast and crew comprised entirely of Michigan-based professionals, the film showcases the city's world-class filmmaking talent. This film is her tribute to her hometown, its legendary history, and its resilient people.<br />

Last night I finished the last bit of music (give or take some eventual tweaks here and there) for Jeff Schultz's short film "Certain Essential Elements" in time for it's premiere at this weekend's Detroit Independent Film Festival. Here's the first mix of the opening. Following DIFF I'll be doing further mix and instrument tweaks, as I used this project to upgrade my sample library. I have to say, I'm impressed with how well the Vienna Instruments Special Edition performed. There was a slight learning curve involved, but not at all detrimental to workflow. It's crazy what we can do on just a laptop these days.<br />
<br />
I've spent the day trying to relax after a good 2-3 weeks of being holed up in the studio, but I'm anxious to get back into it - exporting individual lines from preset "full strings" patch sequences into their own isolated instrument performances, which will boost the sense of realism. Someday soon I'll be working with a budget to hire an orchestra (I'm looking at you, feature-length "My Friend Peter"), but until then, the Vienna instruments will have to make do.<br />

being a talented writer and filmmaker ("Starlight & Superfish"<br />
