Dutch Tilt Film Festival

TurnStyle Films has just found out that we will have several videos featured at this years' Dutch Tilt Film Festival. All proceeds from the festival go to the restoration of the historic Holland Theatre. Our Music Videos, Short Films and Through the TurnStyle Sessions will play in between features for the entire festival. Pretty Awesome.

Lake Erie Monster vol. 2

Everyone check out the second volume of Lake Erie Monster, now on sale. TurnStyle Films has an ad in it that's pretty sweet! But the comic itself if far and away better than our ad. Buy a copy and help support John G & Jake Kelly. You will not regret it. $5 is a steal!

48 Hour Film Competition

This past weekend was the 48 Hour Film Festival. We had the tightest team we've ever had going into it. Can't wait for the screening! The Wrong Party is by far our best film yet.

The Locust - Sever the Toes

It is with great pride that I'm posting this video. I've been listening to The Locust since I was just out of high school. I can still remember how overwhelmed I was the first time I heard Plague Soundscapes. It opened whole new worlds for me. I can't imagine what I'd say to a younger me buying New Erections from Square Records in Akron. I doubt the young me would believe that I was talking to the Justin Pearson, let alone doing work for his most well-known and revered band. So without further adieu I give you Sever The Toes (starring our very good friend Jason Mingus)!



Also, there is a Director's Cut.

Retox in Pittsburgh

On June 26th Retox played in Pittsburgh. I finally got to actually have a conversation with Justin Pearson of The Locust. He's one of my musical heroes and I can firmly that I would not like half the music I do today if I had never listened to The Locust. Without him I would have never stumbled upon the amazingness that is Bitches Brew, probably my all time favorite jazz album.

I told him that in person and he seemed genuinely moved. He hooked Jamie and I up with free merch and got our names on the guest list so we could get in for free.

Retox was great. They took total control of the room and didn't let go. Their set last only about 20 minutes and I could have more, but that hungry feeling at the end of the show may have been the best part.



Jamie and I grabbed pictures with him after the show. It was definitely a huge night for me. I seem to be whittling down this hero list of mine pretty quickly. Only have a few left to go.
