Film & Music News

Hi, Everyone! Last week I sent a DVD with our clip out to a few people and one of them was Michael Blake...who won the Academy Award for writing DANCES WITH WOLVES. We had the opportunity to speak with him a few months ago, at the Smoki Museum in Prescott, AZ, and I was hoping, that he might take a moment to watch our 6 minute clip and respond. Well, I have to tell you he called me yesterday and said, "If the documentary stays with the level of what you have in the clip...I think it will be tremendous." (direct quote) He said his only complaint was that the clip made him want to see more! (yeah!) I spoke with him for almost an hour Monday morning about the movie and he said that he was honored to be a part of it. (I almost fell out of my seat!) Having Mr. Blake's support hopefully may help us get into a few film festivals. In any event, I feel we are on the right track with how we are putting this together and it seems to be hitting a cord with folks. He also told me he would be there to help POISON WIND thru to the very end.
I also met with Dave A. Montour of Clan/Destine on Tuesday and he has a song he wrote awhile ago that he thinks might work for the film. It is AWESOME!! He also showed me a beautiful flute he's carving...so beautiful.
