As expected, Becky Archibald's Mood Swing CD release concert tonight was incredible. While I love her solo piano work, I was happy to see her bring some other musicians and instruments into the mix. I didn't get a chance to shoot any footage of the actual performance as I was "shushed" by some lady behind me as I was getting out my camera. Becky said I should have shot anyway, but I didn't feel like causing a scene. I did get some very brief video after the concert, however. Below is Becky along with her daughter Delaney, David Bellman (clarinet), Richard Graef (French horn), Ingrid Fisher-Bellman (cello), and P.J. Yinger (trumpet).
Bellman, Graef and Bellman all play for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Yinger is actually Art Director for the Bob & Tom Show and performs with Polka Boy. All you filmmakers out there looking for an original score, I can certainly give Becky a glowing recommendation. Check her out at www.beckyarchibald.com.
I headed up the Starbucks on 96th and Allisonville this morning for the Karmic Courage Productions' casting call for FIRST THEY CAME FOR. It's a short film inspired by the poem of the same name by Reverend Martin Niemoller and is being made for Pangea Day. No, I wasn't there to audition, but I did get a chance to talk to director Kate Chaplin and actor Scott Ganyo before the actors went streaming in. Here's what they had to say about the film:
And here's a little teaser for the film:

There was a great turnout at the IMAX theater last night for the premiere of Dan Hall's GHOST STORIES: WALKING WITH THE DEAD. The film is creepy - but I mean that in a good way. Parts of it sent chills up my spine. One of my favorite people in the film was Marilene Isaacs. She's an intuitive and healer that explored the haunted locations with Dan and made contact with the "other side." She's runs the Center of Peace and has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs. Here she is last night after the screening talking a little bit about her gift and how she got involved with the project:
In case you missed the premiere last night, you can catch it again at the IMAX tonight at 7:40. The film will also be screening at Cinema Grill, Georgetown Theatre, Lotus Petal Cinema in Nashville, and the Artcraft Theater in Franklin. Check those website for showtimes and ticket information.

RED HARVEST, directed by Indy resident Dylan Griffith, won Best Horror Short at the 2007 Terror Film Festival in Philadelphia this past weekend.
The film premiered earlier this year at the Indianapolis International Film Festival and has gone on to play at film festivals across the country, including Shockerfest in California. Here's Dylan talking about the film earlier this year at the premiere:

Ryan Gosling is an incredible actor. He's played a Jewish skinhead in THE BELIEVER, a poor man in love with a rich girl in THE NOTEBOOK, and a junior high teacher with a crack habit in HALF NELSON. Now he's back with another "love story." This one's not quite as sob-inducing as THE NOTEBOOK (I did not cry during that movie by the way, but i know many who have...now ask me about OLD YELLER or ET and that's a different story) but it's touching nonetheless.
It's playing as part of the Heartland Film Fest tonight at 9:35, tomorrow at 4:30 and on Thursday at 7 and 9:15. Check out www.heartlandfilmfest.org for locations.
