Before the Music Dies - Trailer #1
Made by Austin filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen, BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of how the music industry has abandoned both artists and fans in its single-minded pursuit of corporate profits. The film, which premiered to sold-out audiences at the 2006 SXSW Film Festival, features interviews and musical performances from Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, Erykah Badu, Branford Marsalis, Doyle Bramhall II, Questlove, and Calexico, among many others.
Before the Music Dies
With outstanding performances and revealing interviews Before the Music Dies takes a critical look at the homogenization of popular music with commentary by some of the industry's biggest talents like Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, Elvis Costello, Erykah Badu, Branford Marsalis, Bonnie Raitt and more. Using historic footage the film looks at the evolution of American music and the artists who created it and pulls back the curtain (in a very creative way) to expose the sad truth behind today's "artificial" music stars. "The reality is that superficiality is in," says Marsalis. "And depth and quality is kind of out." Inspired by the death of his brother, director Andrew Shapter and his crew traveled thousands of miles, visiting dozens of cities, speaking with hundreds of fans, journalists, record executives and musicians while searching for "real" American music. What they found were mega-talents without a major label, including one artist Eric Clapton believes is "the real thing." MPAA Rating: NOTRATED 2006 B-Side Entertainment

"I Don't Need to Know" - a Short Film by Max K.
Based partially on the writings of Nietzsche and my own life experiences, this film explores the desires and wants at the base of the human instinct. Just because I'm in film school doesn't mean I can't express myself at the caliber of Godard or Truffaut. Truly, beauty only comes after pain. Special thanks to Kat Candler, Andrew Shapter and all of the incredible cast and crew.
"Bluefield"
Inspired by and based on the photographs of Andrew T., Exithacan, Latrial, Mike Quick, Seth Gaines, Terrapin Dawg -- and in honor of Bluefield's appearance in Andrew Shapter's new film, "Happiness Is" (www.happinessisthemovie.com) -- I offer a burst of creative energy in the form of a short digital story, and want to offer the beautiful city of Bluefield, West Virginia a kind 'hello' and a firm hand-shake. Known as "Nature's Air-Conditioned City," I dream of Bluefield almost daily (it doesn't hurt that we've had more 100 degree plus days in recent, or even distant, history in Austin). Kindest regards to Frances and Mark: You honor your city so finely in the upcoming film release! The musical composition is one of mine, and that's me playing, too. The tune didn't have a name until Andrew Shapter took a listen and told me it made him think of Bluefield. It was a tune in search of a name and a home. Finally, I think it has found both! Bluefield, "Bluefield" is yours... I dedicate the composition to you! Kindest regards always! Jim The tune "bluefield" is © Copyright 2009 Jim Bruno. All Rights Reserved.
