FILM TRAILER – “My Caddy Won’t Let Me”

admin — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 05:06:01 +0000

Noah Engh is a 23 year-old musician who is among the hard-living niche of truly independent, D.I.Y. (“do it yourself”) artists who book, promote, perform, and travel to each of their shows without any outside assistance.

At the time of filming, Engh has been booking shows, promoting and touring almost 365 days a year for three years, averaging approximately 220 shows annually. This is a rare feat for any band, but Engh, a.k.a. The Kid Fantastic, is a one-man-band. While touring bands can divide the day to day tasks and share driving responsibilities, The Kid’s rhythm section consists of one custom-made “electric shoe”, good only for stomping out the lonesome rhythm of the road as he chases his dream across the country.

My Caddy Won’t Let me explores the life of Engh, a colorful character of unique ambition, who presents a candid conversation on the challenges that face independent touring musicians.

This is the life of an independent musician. There is no record label support or corporate sponsorship, but there are a lot of beer-soaked nights that lead to sweat-soaked mornings waking up on unfamiliar floors and couches. My Caddy Won’t Let Me shows the reality of the road to rock stardom and the life that is lived by few, but romanticized by many.

This film will make you appreciate your day job.

Family House

admin — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 18:32:52 +0000

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is one of the global hubs for cutting edge medicine. The metropolitan area itself is home to 24 hospitals, attracting people from all over the world in need of healthcare that can only be provided in Pittsburgh. While traveling great distances, often for extremely long periods of time, or unexpectedly, patients and their families can find themselves either stranded while they wait for medical care, or unable to pay the stratospheric price of a hotel for weeks or months on end. Enter, Family House: a local charity that provides not only affordable long term housing, but the strength of a community, and a sense of inspiration and hope to all who seek refuge under their roof. “Family House” offers a glimpse of this very unique charity, the people that make it special, and the community that makes it possible.

Function v. Emotion

admin — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 15:48:18 +0000

Featured film of the 2011 Donate Life Hollywood Online Film Festival! Pittsburgh’s Bodiography Contemporary Ballet unites the worlds of art and medicine in their full length ballet, “HEART: Function v. Emotion.” Full length theme ballets are rare, but no more than “HEART” which places professional dancers along side real-life cardiologists and transplant patients in perhaps the world’s only ballet focused on raising awareness about organ donation and transplantation, and heart disease. “Function v. Emotion” explores the coming together of the seemingly dissimilar worlds of medical science (function) and dance (emotion), and the unexpected emotional reawakening experienced by the transplant patients involved.
