MEETING DATE: UPCOMING EVENTS

MONDAY

27 July 2009 MEETING


Molly Malone's Irish Pub

Our July meeting will be: Monday 27 July 2009, 1830 EST (6:30 p.m.) at the Molly Mallone's Irish Pub and Restaurant, 933 Baxter Ave Louisville, KY 40204. http://www.mollymalonesirishpub.com/highlands/ We will be meeting in their party room. Their phone number is: 502-473-1222 (in case you all cannot find it while on Baxter Ave) (on East side) in the "Highlands" neighborhood of Louisville, KY.) They have parking in the front and rear of the restaurant.

Guest Speakers

The guest speaker will be: Professional Music Composer and Musician Brian Barnes

Brian's interest in film sound and music goes back to childhood, a dream of being the "sound effects man". A university program later on gave him that chance: a project on the use of music in silent films and its relationship to popular American music allowed Brian to study, and experiment with, concepts of sound as it relates to visual images. Brian used period writings, current research, and the help of scholars like Rick Altman whose work Silent Film Sound revolutionized how silent film sound was considered, resulting in a both scholarly writings and programs of film music. Brian has collaborated on film music and shows with Bob DeFlores, a film archivist and historian who works with the UCLA Film Archives, filmmaker Ken Burns, Kino International and the Smithsonian.

Louisville native Brian Barnes has an incredibly diverse musical biography spanning more than 30 years: world tours as a Bluegrass musician; Country Music concerts and festivals in Eastern Europe; French swing at Lincoln Center; American Swing and Latin music in Vienna. As a core musician on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion in the 1980s he worked with performers such as Garrison Keillor, Minnie Pearl, Chet Atkins and "My Rose of Old Kentucky" - Rose Maddox. As a musician and music director for several dance companies he has toured the U.S. and Europe performing traditional American as well as world music. As a recording artist Brian appears on projects equally as varied, is a producer, and is composer/music director for independent film projects plus his own film music company, MovieVaudeville.

WHAT & WHO

What we do

MovieVaudeville is about live music and vintage film.

We select classics of early cinema, craft new music for the films, and present them in live performance.

Early film makers were innovative, and we feel it is important to continue in that spirit. Each film is approached uniquely, considering the content/time period/.feel. of the film. Many, many hours are devoted to either selecting existing music or creating something new, then timing, placing and practicing. Depending on the film, the music might at any point be classical piano, slide blues guitar, early music counter-tenor, synthesized midi, electronica/loops/theremin/sound effects, or some spontaneously improvised mix of any of the above. Additional musicians are utilized for some films to enhance the musical experience. It is not only one instrument - one voice - from beginning to end.

Who we are:

Brian Barnes is the creator of MovieVaudeville. Brian has traveled internationally over the course of 30 years performing with a number of diverse ensembles in a number of styles. This experience combined with his university studies focused on music and popular culture is the prime reason MovieVaudeville scores are so unique. Brian is the music director for all the scores, and accompanies the films on keyboard, guitar, mandolin, banjo, melodeon, and handles the computer, sound effects, and theremin.

Some films are accompanied by a single musician, others are ensemble efforts. Other musicians include:

Jacquelin Smallman. A classically trained pianist, Jacquelin's extensive knowledge of the piano repertoire is crucial to the creation of many of our scores, and her tremendous skill as a player transforms our live performances into high art.

David Echelard. David is a conservatory trained Early Music counter tenor, as well as electronic music composer, keyboard/accordion/hurdy-gurdy player. His incredible creativity in composing and arranging set our scores apart from all others.

MovieVaudeville is based in Louisville, Kentucky, and will perform film/music programs in locations around the country. We provide the films on DVD, can perform indoors or outdoors, and can provide all projection and sound equipment for either if necessary.

If you are interested in bringing MovieVaudeville to your venue, please contact us. For information about films, rates, available dates, etc, please email to: info@movievaudeville.com

MovieVaudeville welcomes requests for commissioned film music. Please inquire at the email address listed above.

Brian Barnes has a musical biography spanning more than 30 years, and which is perhaps one of the most diverse of any musician's. Today, it's simpler to say that Brian focuses on his love of Jazz guitar and vocals, and performing this great music in the U.S., France, Sweden, and Finland. Still, with his unusual background he is still in demand for projects of all types.

Why not?
He has toured Japan, Holland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland (as well as the U.S. and Canada) as a top Bluegrass musician; performed Country Music at concerts and festivals in eastern Europe; traditional Irish in America and Ireland; blues in Hungary; French music at Lincoln Center; American Swing and Latin music in Vienna. As a core musician on a nationally broadcast radio program, he worked with famous performers such as Garrison Keillor, Minnie Pearl, Rose Maddox and Johnny Gimbel. As a musician and orchestra director for the nationally renowned Ethnic Dance Theatre, he performed Russian, Serbian, Croatian and Bulgarian Music on traditional instruments. He's studied Balalaika with a Russian priest, percussion with drummers from the Ossetian and Uzbeki state orchestras, jazz guitar with a Berkley grad, Bulgarian bagpipes in Sofia, Bulgaria.

As a recording artist Brian appears on projects equally as varied; is a producer; and is composer/music director for independent film projects plus his own film music company, http://www.movievaudeville.com/.

Today, Brian is as busy as ever composing, performing, and recording - bringing his breadth of knowledge and deep love of the world's music to ever more delighted listeners.

Scratched - Prince Hermis, Sam Hirsch, Flying Tom, Floral Park.

View The 1913 Media Guide Chart PDF "Derby Day, Louisville, Ky. Kentucky's famous racing event" This post card was mailed in 1914, so it is highly likely that it had been made in 1913, the year Roscoe won the KY Derby. Roscoe Goose was born and raised in Jeffersontown, Kentucky on 21 January 1891. Roscoe was a jockey, horse trainer, thoroughbred owner, and mentor/trainer of many famous jockeys (e.g. Charles Kurtsinger, Eddie Arcaro, Eugene James, Gilbert Elston, and others). He was one of the first ten men named into the Kentucky Hall of Fame. National Jockeys Hall of Fame in 1968. Roscoe is buried at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky.

RACING RECORDS His 1913 win of the Kentucky Derby set several new records, it was a new track record for that distance, it was the first time that a Louisville native "local boy" won the Derby, it had the largest crowd that year for attendance up to that point, and this Derby was the first to have BOTH a jockey and horse transported in just for the specific race all the way from New York. It set a track speed record 2:04 4/5 for 1 1/4 mile that stood until 1914. He holds the record at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky for having the highest odds (100 to 1) to have ever won the Kentucky Derby.

RESOLUTION WHEREAS Roscoe Goose gained lasting fame by riding Donerail to win the Kentucky Derby of 1913 and to set an all-time record payoff of $184.90, and ...

WHEREAS Mr. Goose graduated from the ranks of the riders to become a highly-respected trainer and owner of Thoroughbreds, and

WHEREAS Mr. Goose, while acting as a trainer and owner, took special interest in young boys wishing to learn the riding profession, even taking them into his home and clothing them and feeding them, and produced such notable riders as Charles Kurtsinger and Eugene James, who rode winners of the Kentucky Derby, and ... Gilbert Elston,

WHEREAS Mr. Goose has for more than 20 years served as an unofficial host to visiting turfwriters covering the Kentucky Derby, has given unsparingly of his time to provide information and help of all kinds to these writers, especially the new and uninitiated, and in all these years has shown himself to be a thorough gentleman and an example of all that's good in racing: be it

RESOLVED, That the National Turfwriters Association recommend to the National Jockeys Hall of Fame, the early election to that honored group of Mr. Roscoe Goose. (Passed unanimously by the National Turfwriters Association in annual meeting at Churchill Downs, Wednesday, May 1, 1968). Roscoe rode his first meet at Churchill in the spring of 1908, and his last in the spring of 1917. After retiring from riding in 1918, Roscoe became a successful trainer. In 1939 and 1940, he won stakes races with the horses: Kings Blue, Lightspur and Blue Delight. He also was active in helping up and coming jockeys, one of which was Charley Kurtsinger who rode 1937 Triple Crown winner War Admiral.

-----------

Carl Seay Goose (Ganz)-b. 1893-d. 15 October 1915 Won 39th. Kentucky Oaks (Grade I), May 1913-Jockey. (horse: Cream) 39th. Kentucky Derby, (NA: place) 10 May 1913-Jockey. (horse:???)(SCRATCHED BEFORE RACE) Won The Tobacco Stakes in 1910 (horse: Longhand) Won Louisville Handicap in 1910 (horse: Ben Double) Won Debutante Stakes (Grade III) in 1912 (horse: Briar Path). His brother Roscoe won this race in 1913 Won Cherokee Handicap in 1912 (horse: Volthorpe). Roscoe won this race in both 1915 & 1916 on (horse: Sleeth).

Carl is the brother of Roscoe T. Goose. Carl Goose was born and raised in Jeffersontown, Kentucky and also in Louisville, Kentucky. He was a jockey and horse trainer. He died in a racing accident. Carl is buried in the same section as his brother Roscoe and other family members, at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky. Carl didn't have a riding helmet and most jockeys didn't at that time. His death served to motivate Roscoe to champion the cause of getting all jockeys to wear helmets, then for those helmets to become a part of the normal equipment worn as a standard requirement for racing. Roscoe also saw that necessary improvements were made for safety standards to increase the quality of the helmets too.

Carl first rode at Churchill in spring of 1910, and his last meet was fall of 1915. He was even scheduled to ride in the 39th Kentucky Derby, against his brother Roscoe in 1913, but for a reason I have yet to learn, Carl's horse was scratched before the race. Carl's fatal accident was at Latonia Race Course in 15 October 1915. He rode at Churchill in 1915 and there is a historical record of the same in their card file. Although Roscoe did champion quality headgear for jockeys as a result of the accident, I found nothing discussing his invention of any type of helmet.

The show is entering into its fourth season and Camille was added to the cast as Thom's protege/design-expert for the show. On camera, Camille works hand-in-hand with Thom, discussing the designs and style-elements which are featured in each episode.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BUNBURY THEATER PRESENTS
SEASCAPE
By Edward Albee
Opens 18 June 2009

1 June 2009 (Louisville, Kentucky) . Bunbury Theater, a staple on the Louisville theatre scene for more than two decades, will launch its summer production of the 2009-2010 season with the opening of Seascape, a drama and winner of the 1975 Pulitzer Prize by Edward Albee. The play, which opens on Thursday, 18 June 2009 showcases the talent of many of Louisville's finest professional and avocational actors, directors and designers.

On a deserted stretch of beach, a middle-aged couple are relaxing after a picnic lunch and talking idly about home, family and their life together. She sketches, he naps, and then, suddenly, they are joined by two sea creatures . LIZARDS, who have decided to leave the ocean depths and come ashore. The lizards, who are at a very advanced stage of evolution, ready to explore, and speak admirable English, become engaged in a fascinating dialogue with the couple who regards life as flat and routine. The play is more than drama and has elements of comedy, fantasy, satire, and/or absurdism. Seascape focuses on communication in interpersonal relationships, in this case between couples.

The cast of SEASCAPE includes Laurene Scalf, Matt Orme, Ted Lesley, and Marcia Miller.
Directed by Steve Woodring

Walden The Ballad of Thoreau Receives AEGIS Award

AEGIS Video and Film Production Awards recognizes "Walden the Ballad of Thoreau" with the 2009 AEGIS Award. AEGIS Awards are the oldest video and film contests in the U.S., recognizing video productions and programs for public television. The competition is judged by fellow producers, directors, cameramen, editors and other industry professionals.

"It was a dream come true, but a privilege with great responsibility, when the chance to reintroduce Thoreau and his work came to me," says playwright Michael Johnathon. "To have thousands of colleges and schools perform the play is a testament, not to my writing, but to Thoreau himself. He is an environmental rock star, and this award - our first for the Walden film - is really an award for how compelling and rich Thoreau's image and words remain to all of us." In addition to premiering online across the globe via Earth Day TV (www.earthdaytv.net), the program will also be broadcast on Public TV, Public Radio and in movie theaters across the U.S. on Earth Day (22 April 2009). The high-definition production will also be released as a two-disc DVD Walden Gift Set. For every package purchased, an additional copy is sent free to a school or library with lesson plans to supplement each gift set.

Walden premiered on Chicago PBS last Thursday, tonight on Ohio PBS and LA.

WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour (Produced in Lexington, KY, but heard all over the world on public radio and seen on Public TV.

WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour

When the "WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour" began, it was broadcast from a small recording studio with room for a band and 18 listeners, most of whom were hand-picked so the show wouldn't be light on applause. Only one college radio station carried it, with nearly 500 radio affiliates, public television, the Internet, podcasts, XM Satellite Radio, the number of potential listeners for "WoodSongs" is in the high tens of millions.

The television version of the show is available to all PBS TV stations nationwide. Not bad for a show that's produced by a volunteer staff and features artists who perform for free. That much, at least, hasn't changed since Johnathon started "WoodSongs" as a showcase for grass-roots musicians who, like him, make their living on a scale much smaller than that of bands filling stadiums.

Michael Johnathon is the writer and producer of Walden: The Ballad of of Thoreau play. It's a documentary film about Thoreau, the main body of the work is the actual high-def production of the Walden play at the Opera House in Lexington. It was filmed by the students at Asbury College. This film will air on Kentucky Educational TV (KET) in April 2009. Check your local listings for times.

Walden Theatrical Play

Somewhere along the line he found time to write a play about his hero, Henry David Thoreau. His theatrical play, "Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau," is being performed in colleges, theaters and schools worldwide, many in recognition of Earth Day. The play is an entertaining mix of creative humor and intellectual war between Thoreau and his mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson. The setting of the play is the final two days Thoreau spent in his cabin before leaving Walden Pond.

Thoreau is considered America's original "tree hugger" and forefather of our environmental movement. He was a gentle naturalist, earth lover, author, pencil-maker ... and is the most quoted American writer in history. Yet, when he passed, he was better known for having helped market the pencil than for a single word he wrote with it.

"In an age of global warming, bio-fuels, hybrid cars and oil wars," says Johnathon from his farmhouse home in Kentucky, "the play can introduce people to Thoreau as well as earth concerns in their own home towns at a time when, frankly, they need it." Over 7,200 schools, theaters and other venues from far away as South Korea, Egypt, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Belgium, Australia, Ireland, Argentina, Syria, England, Germany, Israel, Canada and the across the USA have performed the play. The play has also been produced as a drama in the style of the 1940's and 50's radio plays for broadcast on 600 radio stations, internet broadcasters and XM Satellite Radio. The Walden play is provided free to schools, theaters and public radio and supported by the Earth Day Network, National Environmental Education Week, American Forests, Kentucky Earth Day and EarthCARE Canada.

SHORTS COMPETITON (80-90 U.S. & International Short Films):
All short films are selected to play before features or in one of eight Shorts Programs, and all accepted shorts compete against each other in one single competition. Short Films must have a total running time of 49 minutes or less. Our Shorts Competition does not have any premiere or prior screening restrictions. Shorts may have been released on DVD, broadcast on television or the internet, and/or publicly screened anywhere in the world and still remain eligible for our Shorts Competition.

The following Festival programs are non-competition categories, and the eligibility requirements are not as strict-- films do not need to retain any sort of premiere status, and are allowed to have screened at up to two other film festivals before Sundance:

SPECTRUM (18-24 U.S. & International Feature Films):
This program is a varied selection of out-of-competition dramatic and documentary films from some of the most promising new filmmakers from the U.S. and around the world. Non-competition films do not need to retain any sort of premiere status, and are allowed to have screened at up to two other film festivals prior to Sundance. However, they may not have been otherwise exhibited theatrically to the public, released on DVD, or broadcast on television or the internet in their entirety.

PARK CITY AT MIDNIGHT (8-9 U.S. & International Feature Films):
A treat for true cinephiles and casual filmgoers alike, this non-competition section presents an eclectic mix of horror, sci-fi, over-the-top comedies, surreal tales, explicit animation, and bizarre stories that defy categorization. Films selected for this program do not need to retain any sort of premiere status, and are allowed to have screened at up to two other film festivals before Sundance. However, they may not have been otherwise exhibited theatrically to the public, released on DVD, or broadcast on television or the internet in their entirety.

NEW FRONTIER FEATURES (5-6 U.S. & International Feature Films):
The New Frontier program highlights experimental works that push the boundaries of the traditional aesthetics and narrative structures of filmmaking, both scripted and documentary. Films selected for this non-competition program do not need to retain any sort of premiere status, and are allowed to have screened at up to two other film festivals before Sundance. However, they may not have been otherwise exhibited theatrically to the public, released on DVD, or broadcast on television or the internet in their entirety.

Additionally, we have two Festival categories that are by invitation only. They are non-competition, and you may not submit your film to either of these categories:

PREMIERES (14-18 U.S. & International Feature Films):
To showcase the diversity of contemporary cinema, our Premieres program offers a selection of brand new work from more established American and international directors. In 2008, the latest films from directors such as Michel Gondry, Brad Anderson, Alan Ball, and Barry Levinson had their U.S. or World premieres within this category. Acceptance into this non-competition category is by invitation only, but films that are selected must maintain a U.S. or World Premiere status.

FROM THE COLLECTION (2 U.S. & International Feature Films):
Established as a joint partnership between Sundance Institute and the UCLA Film & Television Archive, the Sundance Collection at UCLA is a groundbreaking archive devoted to the preservation of the history of independent film. Each year, we select two films from this archive (usually newly preserved or restored works) for special screenings at the Festival. Acceptance is by invitation only! Open submissions will not be considered for this program.

The Workshop is being sponsored by Micro Filmmaker Magazine (http://www.microfilmmakermagazine.com).

Sound Design on Independent Films - - As the Sound Designer on Gus Van Sant's films, as well as animated features, network television specials and his own features, Kelley Baker has a unique approach to the Art of Sound Design. Whether you're working with a huge budget, or a non-existent one, sound is the one area of filmmaking that always gets little attention, until the very end. "We'll fix it in the mix..." is an often heard expression, but what does that mean? As a sound designer it usually means you're in trouble. There's never enough money or time to do sound right. So what do you do? Do you mix in digital? Dolby? How many formats are there and which one is going to give you the most options? Kelley will share his insights, and show you creative solutions to many sound problems. He'll also discuss what to do when you have no budget, and how to blow a lot of money when you do have it.

Well last October 20,000 people walked through the halls of one of KY and Indiana's largest and most popular haunts, The Industrial Nightmare... This year when they do so they will see us. As eager haunted house patrons wait in line this year they will be watching our film trailers, clips and promotional material as it plays on the big screen before they enter the haunt. As the exit they will run into our booth where we will be selling copies of our DVD's, posters etc... That my friend is awesome. We have a GUARANTEED audience of 20,000 before we ever promote outside of the haunted house we are filming. That's Industrial Nightmare alone. That doesn't include The Haunted Hotel, Film Festivals, and Wrestling venues and PPVs (which we also have a lock on). By the time all is said and done the WORLD will know who we are and possibly you as well!

Since we now have a guaranteed audience of 20,000 we are now ready to start gathering sponsorships. This program ad will be handed out at the haunted locations and every other venue we get into. Listed on the program is pricing information on ad space. NOTE: Banner ads will also be seen by 20,000+ people.

Now the program ads themselves can be sold to anyone and be anything from: "Break a Leg!" to a business card or coupon... Whatever you want we will do-within reason of course. The website ads, banner ads and main sponsor ads are a bit different and limited. All the info is listed on the pdf document. Our website is under construction but will be up soon.

If you or someone you know is interested in purchasing ad space or a sponsorship please let us know.

If you have any questions feel free to email me or call me at 502-314-2361

Thanks for your help and consideration.

OUTFEST: THE LOS ANGELES
GAY & LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL
Los Angeles, California - USA
9 to 19 July 2009

In the Spotlight this week is the 27th Annual OUTFEST: THE LOS ANGELES GAY & LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL, Los Angeles' oldest film festival, and the only gay and lesbian film festival taking place in the capital of the entertainment industry.

For nearly three decades, Outfest has reflected and affirmed the LGBT community's experiences and also conveyed the rich diversity of gay and lesbian lives to mainstream observers through film. The Festival focuses considerable resources on building bridges between audiences, filmmakers and the industry, and has screened the early works of Todd Haynes, Lisa Cholodenko, John Cameron Mitchell, Jamie Babbitt, Patricia Rozema, Tommy O'Haver, Cheryl Dunye, and Gus Van Sant, whose Outfest testimonial is concise and stunning: "The whole basis of my career comes from this festival."

Outfest screens over 200 features and shorts from around the world at nine LA venues, and its superb program attracts over 55,000 attendees annually. More industry players attend Outfest than any other LGBT film festival, and the Festival's Access LA program offers opportunities for Outfest artists to forge career connections through one-on-one meetings with agents, lawyers, distributors, and executives.

Add to your Watchlist View Listing

MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
Outfest aims to "protect our past, showcase our present and nurture our future by fostering artistic expression of gender, sexuality and LGBTQ culture and its transformative social impact on the world."

MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Outfest presents an extensive awards program, bestowing 17 honors for excellence, including Jury Prizes for US, International, Documentary, and Short Films; The HBO Outstanding First Dramatic Feature Award; and Audience Awards, for which all Los Angeles premieres are eligible.

The Festival boasts an exceptional filmmaker hospitality program - providing accreditation, screening and party tickets, as well as dozens of industry panels - all to ensure that the Outfest experience is fun, productive, and filled with networking and exposure opportunities. Exhibiting filmmakers also have substantial post-screening Q&A sessions, which often produce the most rewarding and provocative festival moments.

As Variety quotes Gregg Araki, a Festival alum and self-described "huge fan of Outfest," the Festival is "a really important showcase for young independent filmmakers, and it was really instrumental in helping launch my career in the early days." Don't miss your chance to be part of this amazing, career-launching LGBT film experience; submit to Outfest today!

WARNING: GOOGLE SPIES ON AMERICANS!!! STOP USING GOOGLE

Katherine Albrecht comments on Google's tracking of flu outbreaks on "Coast to Coast AM" Radio Show Katherine tells everyone about a NEW SEARCH ENGINE website that was written by former Google employees that objected to the unlawful collection of personal data and its sale. START USING http://www.cuil.com/ as CUIL will not sell your data to anyone; INSTEAD OF GOOGLE if you want to protect your privacy.

Article on Boston.com "Google.org to track outbreaks of flu
Web searches might indicate spike in cases
By Miguel Helft
New York Times News Service / 12 November 2008

SAN FRANCISCO - There is a new common symptom of the flu, in addition to the usual aches, coughs, fevers, and sore throats. Turns out a lot of ailing Americans enter phrases like "flu symptoms" into Google and other search engines before they call the doctor. That simple act, multiplied across millions of keyboards in homes around the country, has given rise to a new early-warning system for fast-spreading flu outbreaks called Google Flu Trends.

Tests of the new Web tool from Google.org, the company's philanthropic unit, suggest it may be able to detect regional outbreaks of the flu a week to 10 days before they are reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In early February, for example, the CDC reported the flu had recently spiked in the mid-Atlantic states.

Google says its search data show a spike in queries about flu symptoms two weeks before that report came out.

Its new service at www.google.org/flutrends analyzes those searches as they come in, creating graphs and maps of the country that, ideally, will show where the flu is spreading.

Some public health experts say the data could help accelerate the response of doctors, hospitals, and public health officials to a nasty flu season, reducing the spread of the disease and, potentially, saving lives.

"The earlier the warning, the earlier prevention and control measures can be put in place, and this could prevent cases of influenza," said Lyn Finelli, lead for surveillance at the influenza division of the CDC. Between 5 and 20 percent of the nation's population contracts the flu each year, she said, leading to an average of roughly 36,000 deaths.

For now the service covers only the United States, but Google is hoping to eventually use the same technique to help track diseases worldwide.

The premise behind Google Flu Trends - what appears to be a fruitful marriage of mob behavior and medicine - has been validated by an unrelated study indicating the data collected by Yahoo, Google's main rival in Internet search, can also help with early detection of the flu.

"In theory, we could use this stream of information to learn about other disease trends as well," said Philip M. Polgreen, assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa and a co-author of the study based on Yahoo's data.

Other people have tried to use information collected from Internet users for public health purposes. A website called www.whoissick.org invites people to report about what ails them and superimposes the results on a map. But the site has received relatively little traffic.

HealthMap, a project affiliated with Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School, scours the Web for news articles, blog posts, and electronic newsletters to create a map that tracks emerging infectious diseases worldwide. It is backed by Google.org, which counts the detection and prevention of diseases as one of its main philanthropic objectives.

Google Flu Trends appears to be the first public project that uses the powerful database of a search engine to track the emergence of a disease.

"This seems like a really clever way of using data that is created unintentionally by the users of Google to see patterns in the world that would otherwise be invisible," said Thomas Malone, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management. "I think we are just scratching the surface of what's possible with collective intelligence."

Still, some public health officials note many health departments already use other approaches, like gathering data from visits to emergency rooms, to keep daily tabs on disease trends in their communities.

"We don't have any evidence that this is more timely than our emergency room data," said Farzad Mostashari, assistant commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. If Google provided health officials with details of the system's workings so it could be validated scientifically, the data could serve as an additional way to detect influenza that might prove valuable, said Mostashari, who is also chairman of the International Society for Disease Surveillance."

His full-day workshop will cover advanced audition techniques and individual scenes and monologues. Cost for the workshop is $110. Sign up by 15 July 2009 because space is limited.

Apt 33 Films Seeking Actors

Hey everybody, my name's Josh Felty of Apartment 33 Films (formerly Fat Guy Films) and a Central KY filmmaker looking to network with some area actors/actresses for roles in my own short films and features. I write/shoot/direct/edit my own films, work very fast, and very cheap. I currently have a few projects that I am looking to produce in the next several months, which I have listed below.

I am open to working with anyone, at any level; but I am my own filmmaker. There's no crew standing around me, waiting to shoot the next scene. I am the crew. I am always thinking creatively instead of washing away problems that may arise during production with the money hose.

I approach my projects with lots of energy, tons of creativity, and a world of passion. I believe the current styles of filmmaking should be questioned. Working independently, we have complete freedom to tell the sorts of stories we want to tell and shoot them however we want to shoot them.

I have listed my resume of work below, most of which are experimental short films that are posted on my YouTube account. I plan on getting together enough work to send to film festivals and distribute independently online. The links to my homepage and YouTube page are listed on my profile but I have also tagged them onto the bottom of this message.

Film makers and actors wanted for sci-fi web series

Righteous Insanity, a Christian drama and film production company, is seeking film makers and actors to help shoot a sci-fi story in 14 parts. This is a unique story and series, and you do NOT have to be located near me (in Louisville) to play a part. We are not looking for "pros." Just folks with a DV camera, a good eye, and some acting talent.

If you are interested, please e-mail me at johncosper@yahoo.com

This is a story told from different angles, requiring a number of actors and different types of shoots. There is no pay, but this is a chance to be a part of something unique, get a credit, and let your talent shine. You can take on a little or a lot; it's all up to you, so long as you can get the job done.

Announcing an online resource for stage directors:

http://www.stagedirection.org

Would love all directors from this forum to sign up and make suggestions for sections, topics, etc

How many times as a director do you feel isolated during the process. Have you wished for a resource site that could offer suggestions, assistance, support and training?

Well it is my hope that StageDirection.org will become that resource. This site will be open to any stage directors around the world. If you belong to other mailing lists or groups that you think would find this a valuable resource, I encourage you to help me spread the word about it.

This forum has been created with the latest PHPBB Bulletin Board software, so it has additional features that you might enjoy even if you are not a director. There is an entire Arcade area with online action, board, card, puzzle and other kinds of games.

Check us out and help us grow http://www.stagedirection.org

Subject: Extras Needed For HARVEY PUTTER - List of Dates This Summer

Greetings,

Sorry there hasn't been much in the way of updates lately, but loads of work has been getting done. Tim has spent the past 7 weeks uploading the 60+ tapes of raw footage and is about halfway through editing a very rough cut of the film which he hopes to complete by November. FX artists will start meeting soon to begin work on the many special effects the film will require.

In other news, we'll be doing a super special preview exclusively on MuggleNet.com next month and we've just started some galleries of photos and illustrations from the film on Flickr. Enjoy! We've also updated out ABOUT section with lots more details and images.

Mary Pickford Silent Film Vault
on "American Experience" TV show (PBS). See your local listings for times.

The Dream (1911) (10:03)
Pickford plays the wife of a philandering man. After he comes home drunk, he has a bad dream -- that his wife has left the house for some fun of her own. When he wakes up, he realizes he should treat his wife better.

Rags (1915) (8:20)
Pickford portrays a feisty, independent woman. In this clip, she has just arrived at a refined Eastern home -- a world away from her origins in a rugged Western mining town. Women particularly identified with Pickford's spirited characters, and her fan base swelled.

Little Lord Fauntleroy (1921) (9:48)
Pickford portrays Cedric, a rambunctious, impoverished American boy who discovers he's the heir to a British fortune. She also portrays Dearest, Cedric's mother.

The film includes a legendary special effect: the two characters portrayed by Pickford kiss. "This wasn't something that was sent off to the laboratories, as happens now, or to computer-generated imagery," says film historian Kevin Brownlow. "This was done in the camera. You wound the shot back and you re-exposed it, and you had to block out the previous figure. I still don't know how they did it." As feature films grew longer and more elaborately produced, audiences embraced colorful, escapist stories like this one, and Hollywood ratcheted up the complexity of movie sets, lighting, and camera techniques.

Hello

I can't begin to express how exciting it is for me that today my first feature film, Room 314, is now available to a wide audience.

Netflix, Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and many more places are renting and selling my first feature film.

It is amazing to me that someone that doesn't know me will pick a copy off the shelf, take it home and watch it and on some level it will bring us closer together.

Unbelievable! I can't wait to go into a Blockbuster and see it on the shelf.

I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive over the years. I have found my journey as an actor, writer and director to be lonely at times and it's the emails I get saying good job, or congrats, or keep up the good work that help keep me going.

I love when someone has seen my films and has a strong response to them. Room 314 was and still is a very personal film for me. I know I will cherish it for the rest of my life. Writing the script, producing it as a play, acting it in then making it into a film has all been an amazing experience. It has taught me so much about myself. If you haven't already I hope you get to see it someday.

If you would like to know a little bit about the experience I went through check out my interview.

In the Spotlight this week are the INDIE MEMPHIS FILM FESTIVAL, a truly independent gem infused with a welcoming southern vibe, and the OJAI-VENTURA FILM FESTIVAL, just a short drive from Hollywood but boasting a relaxed atmosphere and natural beauty along with industry connections.

INDIE MEMPHIS
FILM FESTIVAL
Memphis, Tennessee - USA
8-15 October 2009

At the 12th INDIE MEMPHIS FILM FESTIVAL, fun and film combine for a memorable, unique cinematic event for filmmakers and film lovers alike.

The Festival takes full advantage of its Southern roots, allowing filmmakers to mingle and connect while they explore the cultural history that resonates throughout the region. The legendary Sun Studios, Stax, and Rev. Al Green's Full Gospel Tabernacle church are all part of the experience, while networking events boast Southern cuisine, and a full slate of parties and receptions provide a sampling of the city's vibrant music scene.

Independent film has early roots in the city, going back to Jim Jarmusch's MYSTERY TRAIN, while Robert Altman, Milos Forman, Sydney Pollack and Francis Ford Coppola have all shot major features in Memphis as well. Plus, hometown filmmakers Craig Brewer (HUSTLE & FLOW) and Ira Sachs (FORTY SHADES OF BLUE) made it a Memphis sweep at Sundance 2005, winning the Audience and Narrative Jury awards, respectively.

UPCOMING DEADLINE
15 June 2009 - Late Deadline
Upgraded projects save $5 off this deadline

MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
Indie Memphis connects and inspires indie filmmakers through the unique creative landscape that is the home of the Blues and the birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll. The Festival serves as a connecting point for regional filmmakers from all corners of the country and provides a showcase for films celebrating Southern stories and storytelling.

MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Last year's Festival welcomed more than 5,300 attendees to more than 100 films on 5 screens at Malco Theatre's Studio on the Square in Midtown Memphis. Luminaries such as John Sayles, Elvis Mitchell, Peter Gilbert and Albert Maysles have all made the journey to Indie Memphis, and filmmaker Morgan Jon Fox proclaims that the festival has become as much a part of the city as "BBQ, the Blues and Elvis."
