полный текст письмаDear Friends of the Arts Bureau (tAB),
Hello! We have many exciting developments to share with you as we begin 2011!
First off, our short film, thinking..., is now available for purchase through our new and improved website (www.theartsbureau.org). Thinking...screened both nationally and internationally at the Atlanta Film Festival, the Durango Film Festival, the Female Eye Festival, the NYC Downtown Shorts Festival, the NYU Shorts Festival in L.A., the Shambhala Center of Los Angeles’ Arts Festival, and most recently at the Ultimart Convention in Paris, France followed by a Q&A with its writer/director, Marci Adilman.
We are incredibly excited to announce that our feature film, Lorton Lake, will finally be completed this summer. Please visit our Vimeo account to see our brand new trailer!
Lorton Lake is the Arts Bureau’s first feature-length project. Written by Randy Harrison and Daniel Stessen and developed by a talented cast experienced in improvisation and collaboration, Lorton Lake was shot on high-definition video in three weeks on locations north of Syracuse, New York. Directed by Daniel Stessen, and art directed and photographed by Sam Gezari, the film features Randy Harrison, Marci Adilman, Christopher Stewart, Amanda Byron and Crystal Bock.
A romance where everyone is in love with themselves, Lorton Lake follows frustrated writer Harry Dryan (Randy Harrison) as he returns to his rural childhood home from New York City to say farewell to his oldest friend Jack (Chris Stewart) and Jack’s fiancee, Anna (Marci Adilman), who are about to relocate to San Diego. In one prolonged and idiosyncratic weekend, the characters challenge and question each other’s accomplishments and plans while confronting the anxiety of success, the embarrassment of failure and the absurdity of dreams recalibrated to accommodate lowered expectations. Lorton Lake offers a bizarre and uniquely independent glimpse of several young Americans’ extended adolescence and their frustrated attempts to connect, understand themselves and their world, and finally move forward.
We have a recently created a YouTube channel, a Vimeo channel and a Flickr account for the various short film, photography, and web content we are continually creating. We hope to use these avenues to get content out to you, our supporters, much faster and more frequently. We are very excited about this foray into new media and look forward to making exciting, inspiring, challenging projects for your enjoyment. Please take a look when you have a moment.
We are in the process of developing a new production of Jessica Jill Turner’s Charlie Moose Makes His Move in Los Angeles in 2011. Charlie Moose Makes His Move is a play about imagination, memory and the dangers of living solely in the space where the two converge. Charlie Moose is a morbidly obese failed writer. He hasn’t moved from his bed in seven months. With the help of Simon, a friendless twelve-year-old boy, Charlie hopes to complete his masterpiece, "The Importunation of Honey Blank" – a novel loosely based on his obsession with an awkward stripper. If they can get past Simon’s mother, a wannabee sociopath, Charlie Moose just might finish the “Greatest Great American Novel,” and quite possibly, get out of bed. Part comic book, part romance novel, part carnival, Charlie Moose Makes His Move is relentlessly funny and tragic. As it assaults the audience with unforgettable characters, both offensive and sympathetic, it asks the question, “How safe is our own imagination?”
The Arts Bureau has been increasingly busy making and performing music around New York City with member Randy Harrison appearing numerous times at Our Hit Parade, a monthly musical variety show hosted at Joe’s Pub (a venue of the Public Theatre/New York Shakespeare Festival), as well as performing at the Judy party at Public Assembly in Brooklyn, NY. Our newest Arts Bureau member, Brian Belukha, DJs and hosts parties throughout NYC under the name DJ Belukha. The Arts Bureau (tAB) has been privileged to lend some material support to the Judy party, a not-for-profit, roaming, queer dance party. Their most recent event, Muppets Take Judy, was given a beautiful photo feature in the Village Voice. It can currently be seen at the Village Voice’s website.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support of our ongoing creative endeavors. We are eternally grateful. If you would like to make a donation, please visit our website (www.theartsbureau.org) and click on Support. Any amount is greatly appreciated and will ensure the completion of Lorton Lake, the production of Charlie Moose Makes His Move, and many other projects.
Warmest regards,
Marci Adilman
Randy Harrison
