Lady Feet

I first watched the premiere of Christopher Toppino's Lady Feet during the final senior film festival at Syracuse University last spring. Toppino's ensemble cast, original screenplay, and cinematography far outshone the majority of his peers and received the most heartfelt standing ovation of the night. His whimsical and sensual debut is a melody of the highs and lows of self exploration and captivates the viewer from fade in to fade out. A year later I still find myself thinking about his film, a testament, I believe to a phenomenal piece of art. I was happily surprised to discover Lady Feet now has a site and a trailer. I highly recommend checking it out.

After reading this interview I have spent a significant amount of time at Ben Lowy's site and the site of his wife. There is something so hauntingly real about his pictures, in your face, unforgettable images, that I find myself remembering at the strangest times and causing some troubling dreams.

Michael Kragh: Haunting Me

Click to Listen:
If you happened to spend a Monday night in New Brunswick, NJ this summer and found your way to the now defunct corner dive called the Buda Bar, you may have already heard the soulful, raspy voice and old blues guitar rifts of Michael Kragh. Kragh's poetic and infectious song writing paired with inventive arrangements is decidedly more Delta meets Williamsburg than strip mall meets suburb and the pay off is all ours.

Kragh is currently featuring five of his mastered tracks from his recently completed first album, Haunting Me, here.
