Today's passion is helping other musicians and bands get some major exposure and promotion and that is happening through the new television/internet program I and my long time film partner Randi Potenzo are creating called AUSTIN ENTERTAINMENT LIVE! . Watch here for lots of information on the show, events surrounding it and more in the coming days and weeks. And for those who don't know this, yes I play on occasion sitting in with others on either guitar, bass, or Hammond organ. Influences: The Band, The Beatles, BB, Allman Bros., Skynard, the Dead, Stones, Dylan, Jimmy Smith, John Sebastian, Willie, Doobies, Asleep at the Wheel, The Texas Playboys, Bach, Beethoven, Ravel, Yo Yo Ma, Stevie Ray, Jimi, Brubeck, Rascals, Billie Holiday, Janis, Joni, David Crosby, Yes, Libby Kirkpatrick, Larry McMurtry, Will Taylor & Strings Attached, Buffalo Springfield, Eliza Gilkyson, ZZ Top, Double Trouble, Mussagorsky, Thelonius, Ray Charles, the Sensational Royal Lights Gospel Singers, Del Castillo, Michael Shay, Grieg, Fleetwood Mac, Django Rinehardt, Hot Tuna, Nat King Cole, Dubussy, Bernstein, Clapton, Joni, Gregg Miner, John Doan, Yes, Queen, Steve Bruden, Robert Johnson, Albert King, Paul Simon, Coldplay, Bernstein, Michael J. Lewis, Todd Rundgren, Joss Stone, the Byrds, CS&N, Booker T & the MGs (with Duck Dunn & Steve Cropper), Slam Stewart (miss you sir, and thank you for the great start & inspiration), Robert Johnson, Archangels, Mozart, Stravinski, Debussy, McCartney, Tom Waites, Gershwin, Carolyn Wonderland, Iko-Iko, David Grisman, Tom Petty, Gatemouth Brown, Les Paul, Fleetwood Mac, John Pointer, Andrew Heller, Eric Paul (producer), Karma Tsutra (David Brewer & Brittney Buckley)...Movies
Almost all of them from the sublime to the wretched. Actively involved in the film industry as a Director (Texas Taliban, Broken (pending) or Director of Photography (too many to list), Production Designer (God Thinks You're a Loser, Bunny & Clydo, The Last Day of Joseph Goebbles) Animator/SXF whiz (God Thinks You're a Loser, Princess Peanut, more) or Actor.
I'm waiting for the exec producers of Archstone Pictures in LA & Austin to announce they've finalized funding on a feature film which I co-authored with Ms. R. Potenzo and on which we (or I, depending on circumstances of the time when the funding comes through) are slated to Direct. The feature film (Broken) is a psychological thriller set in Austin about a set of twins, one who's reaching for musical stardom, the other who's self destructing as a serial murderer stalks the Austin music scene. Fun.
All films hold interest and lessons from the sublime to the wretched. Baby Doll, the Usual Suspects, Shawn of the Dead, the Producers, Star Wars (original), Citizen Kane, everything by Kirasawa, Psycho, Napoleon Dynamite, Edward Scissorhands, Harold & Maude, Monty Python's the Holy Grail, Beetlegeuse, Vertigo, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Maltese Falcon, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Star Wars (1), Fantasia, Chinatown, the Harry Potter series, Jumping Off Bridges, God Thinks You're a Loser (post production), Bunny & Clydo, Rocky Horror Picture Show, American Graffiti, the Wizard of Oz, Idiocracy, Office Space, Apollo 13, Love After Life (in preproduction), Sweet Sister (in preproduction), Resurrection, the Shining, Anything or Nothing, Annie Hall, American Beauty, Jurassic Park, The Time Machine (first version), An Inconvenient Truth, Boys Don't Cry, The General's Daughter, 2001, Good Morning America, ET, Indiana Jones, Hang 'em High, Chinatown, Star Wars, In Search of a Midnight Kiss, coming out soon: Shroud, and Desdemona: A Love Story...in which I play respectively a blind man who sees all, and a murdering Union boss. Fun.Television
Sorry to say it's becoming an overused, underutilized communication trash heap. Almost nothing is compelling enough there to bother punching the on button more than once or twice a month. I will or have turned on Friday Night Lights (Randi & Chris, with whom I worked in the past on film projects, both appear on it) and America's Most Wanted (I appeared on it). Maybe I've become too critical.Books
Island (Huxley), 1984 (Orwell), Huck Finn & Connecticut Yankee (Twain), Michener, Blink, Acoustical Foundations of Music, Hero of a Thousand Faces (Campbell), Touched with Fire: Manic Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament (Kay Jamison)Heroes
