As poignant as it is profound, Starslyderz depicts in light and sound what is unquestionably one of the greatest stories ever told. It is a story so important it demands to be experienced. A story that will grab you, penetrate you, and leave you tender and longing for more. A story which becomes all the more amazing when you learn that it was painstakingly recreated from actual true-life events.
The year is 2420. Captain Johnny Taylor is the young and dashing leader of the Starslyderz – The Unite Planet of America’s intergalactic crime fighting force! Aided by his trusty crew, Captain Taylor will scour the furthest reaches of the galaxy in pursuit of his arch nemesis: the evil Gorgon! A criminal mastermind hell-bent on bringing America to its knees, Gorgon and his loyal servant general Mortikai will stop at absolutely nothing in their pursuit of Enerjinn – the magical power source that fuels the galaxy!
Years ago, when Johnny Taylor was just a boy, his father, Captain Jason Taylor, was the heroic leader of the first ever Starslyderz brigade. With the help of three talented teenagers, Jason Taylor zipped through the galaxy fighting for freedom and justice, foiling the evil schemes of Gorgon time and again. But then a mysterious and powerful stranger joined the Starslyderz, an angry green alien called… The Mighty Mortikai! By the time the Slyderz realised that something was amiss it was too late. Gorgon and Mortikai blasted them into oblivion, leaving the young Johnny to go on alone and strive to fill his father’s massive space boots.
Now in charge of patrolling the galaxy’s outer limits, Captain Johnny Taylor is contacted by the President and given the mission he’s been waiting for: Gorgon has kidnapped the President’s beloved daughter, Princess Genivieve! Captain Taylor’s desperate hunt for Gorgon will take him on a magical, musical voyage through space, time and the depths of the human heart.

In the middle of the California desert… From deep inside an abandoned nuclear missile silo… On the 30th anniversary of the Rolling Stones’ disastrous concert at Altamont…
Indie rock legend Richard Havoc puts out The Call to the youth of America.
When his headquarters are infiltrated by a mysteriously square journalist, Havoc subjects the interloper to a gratingly endless parade of “Alternative Nation” posturing – all while trapped 15 stories underground. Self-indulgent pirate TV broadcasts, painfully lame interpersonal arguments, and angsty whining about “The Man” all lead to a completely unnecessary use of firearms. But when the journalist’s secret identity is revealed, all Hell breaks loose. Will Richard and the Cult of the Kids self-destruct and take half the country with them? Or will the Power of Rock save the world?
Altamont Now is a slice of Rock and Roll End Times, a darkly comic meditation on what can happen when American youth borrow old codes of rebellion from the 1960s to achieve their threat. Taking its structure from the Maysles doc gimme Shelter, Altamont Now presents a unique re-visioning of 1960s cinematic counterculture: Black Panther-style revolution talk; rock and roll teen-sploitation movies; and cinema verité documentary to portray a rebellious group of Todays Youth who have nothing left of their own with which to rebel.

“The Unband embraces everything unhealthy, idiotic and irresponsible about rock music as only someone from a benign college town [Northampton, Mass.] can….[They] make like a junior Motorhead in all their grizzly, amphetamine-metal glory…” - Rolling Stone
The Unband made every beautiful mistake a power trio can before imploding under the weight of their success and the fallout from a variety of celebratory pastimes. What made them THE Unband? Was it the partying until all the _______(insert drug or alcohol type) was gone, rocking so hard with elements of Spinal Tap simpering in, or the three of them on the floor, weeping with uncontrollable giggles about something they made up in high school when they first became friends. Drummer Eugene Ferrari sums up the core of his power trio’s other bandmates, “They both have hearts of gold…surrounded by layers of various other substances.”
During their unreign, they opened for Dio, Anthrax and Def Leppard to name a few of the mismatched tours. Their era was one of cockless rock, pre White Stripes, Hives, The Strokes. They accumulated a fan base ranging from bartenders and musicians to wall street guys and record label execs on down to the working stiffs who just wanted to unwind with some head-pounding music cranked up to 11. We Like to Drink, We Like to Play Rock ‘n’ Roll showcases the boys in all their anthemic rock dumbness, contrasted by just how likeable and smart they actually are, as individuals and as the teaming, seething, frothing, Unband.
We Like to Drink, We Like to Play Rock ‘n’ Roll can be seen as part of the Big Sky Film Series in Montana on September 7th.

From the streets of the cut-throat Belleville district of Paris to the dazzling limelight of New York’s glamorous concert halls, Edith Piaf’s life was a constant battle to sing and survive, to live and love.
Raised in abject poverty, surrounded by hookers and pimps, Edith’s magical voice made her a star on both sides of the Atlantic. Her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period - Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Deitrich, boxing world champion Marcel Cerdan - made her a household name as much as her memorable live performances and beautiful renditions of songs she made famous internationally, “La Vie en Rose”, “Milord”, “Hymn to Love”, “Non, je ne regrette rien” and many more. But in her audacious attempt to tame her tragic destiny, the “Little Sparrow” - as she was nicknamed - flew so high that she could not fail to burn her wings.
La Môme (La Vie En Rose) opens in the US today.
