Michele Vreeland has a super-powerful voice. I’m sure she could sing any genre, but her songwriting is beautiful and full of interesting topics. I was really impressed by the ensemble itself. Her guitarist is great! Check out Timothy Weber (guitarist).

Glen Hansard: from the movie “ONCE”

by admin on May.05, 2009, under Composers, Indie Film, acoustic, drama, film, music, video, youtube

I’d like to thank singer/songwriter/activist Daniel Hawks for telling me about “ONCE” and actor/filmaker/singer/songwriter, Jason Loch from “FLY” and “the elur” for reminding me to watch it.

I love this film and anyone who likes movies about music should see it. I have provided some links here for various people and projects related to this post. See the movie “ONCE” many times and pass the word. I can’t believe it was out in 2005 and I missed it. If anyone hears of showings in any theaters in California, please contact me at: markdoty2@yahoo.com

The Sweell Season is Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. They are the singer/songwriter/actors from the movie “ONCE

How great is life when you are surrounded by creative people who love you and your work? I’m really enjoying this.

Thank You
Mark Doty

Still Green to in theatres May 15th

by admin on Apr.29, 2009, under Acting, Announcements, Events, Indie Film, Uncategorized, acoustic, drama, film, releasing, video

Still Green will have its premiere on May 15th to start off its limited theatrical release. Below is the information about Massachusetts. Stay tuned for Florida dates.
________________________________________

On May 15th – 23rd, producers Doug Lloyd, Georgia Menides, and Andrea Ajemian , and director Jon Artigo will premiere their edgy coming of age independent drama Still Green at Showcase Cinema North in Worcester, MA before starting a limited theatrical tour. Developed and post produced in Worcester Massachusetts, Still Green won Best Narrative Feature at the New England Film/Video Festival, Spirit of Independence- Best Ensemble Cast at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, and was rated Best Film Not Yet Released by popular Boston film critic TC Kirkham (Popcorn and Roses). Still Green recently sold to Osiris Entertainment and will be released on DVD and blue ray later this year. Osiris just made headlines in Variety after acquiring Westlake Entertainment’s library of more than 400 pics and Nelson Madison Films for an additional 40 titles.

Often described as “The Big Chill for teenagers,” Still Green follows the lives of a group of high school graduates who rent a beach house the summer before college. An accident in the ocean tests their friendship, and the teens respond in a way some people find disturbing and others see as a beautiful act of loyalty.

Jon Artigo’s former award winning film, Freedom Park was shot entirely in Massachusetts and became a local sensation in 2004. This past summer, Artigo and Ajemian produced the feature comedy We Got the Beat, (also set and filmed in Worcester, MA) currently in post production.

Still Green stars Sarah Jones (Big Love, The Riches), Ryan Kelley (Mean Creek, Prayers for Bobby), Noah Segan (Brick, What we do is Secret), and Douglas Spain (Band of Brothers, But I’m a Cheerleader). The film has been called the film “Powerful and Poignant” -Larry Richmond (pro-networks.com) “haunting and hypnotic” – Adam Moore – former consultant Miramax Pictures” and “A film with the dramatic strength of a theatrical play with the cinematography and music of a blockbuster film” – Markdoty.com

Writer Georgia Menides is a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and was a student at Doherty memorial high school. The film was inspired by experiences with her high school friends. Other of her scripts have won awards at the Hamptons International Film Festival and the Austin Film Festival.

A wide range of promotional events will accompany the film’s release such as private and open parties, concerts from artists from the film’s soundtrack (including platinum recording artist Kaz Gamble), meet and greets / networking with members of the cast and crew and (film shoot contingent) free acting classes with director Jon Artigo. Following the Worcester screenings, Still Green will screen at Coolidge Corner Theatre in Boston on Wednesday May 27th and Thursday May 28th at 7:00 pm.
