SUMMARY:Visiting Writer Tom Piazza
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our latest collaboration with The Booksellers at Laurelwood as we welcome Tom Piazza to Memphis to read from and sign his new novel\, A FREE STATE. Tom Piazza is the author of ten books\, including the novel City Of Refuge\, which won the Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction\, and the post-Katrina classic Why New Orleans Matters. Other works include Devil Sent The Rain\, a collection of his essays and journalism\, the Faulkner Society Award-winning novel My Cold War\, and the short-story collection Blues and Trouble\, which won the James Michener Award for Fiction. Tom also wrote for the HBO drama series Treme. \nNo less a literary critic than Bob Dylan has said\, “Tom Piazza’s writing pulsates with nervous electrical tension – reveals the emotions that we can’t define.” A well known writer on American music as well\, Tom won a Grammy Award for his album notes to Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues: A Musical Journey and is a three-time winner of the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award for Music Writing. His writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Atlantic\, Bookforum\, The Oxford American\, Columbia Journalism Review\, and many other periodicals. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, he lives in New Orleans.\n \n\nA FREE STATE \nThe year is 1855. Blackface minstrelsy is the most popular form of entertainment in a nation about to be torn apart by the battle over slavery. Henry Sims\, a fugitive slave and a brilliant musician\, has escaped to Philadelphia\, where he earns money living by his wits and performing on the street. He is befriended by James Douglass\, leader of a popular minstrel troupe struggling to compete with dozens of similar ensembles\, who imagines that Henry’s skill and magnetism might restore his troupe’s sagging fortunes. \nThe problem is that black and white performers are not allowed to appear together onstage. Together\, the two concoct a masquerade to protect Henry’s identity\, and Henry creates a sensation in his first appearances with the troupe. Yet even as their plan begins to reverse the troupe’s decline\, a brutal slave hunter named Tull Burton has been employed by Henry’s former master to track down the runaway and retrieve him\, by any means necessary. \nBursting with narrative tension and unforgettable characters\, shot through with unexpected turns and insight\, A FREE STATE is a thrilling reimagining of the American story by a novelist at the height of his powers. \n

SUMMARY:Shoot & Splice: A View From Above\, the Art & Craft of Drone Cinematography
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:30 pm | Presentation: 7 pm \nCrosstown Arts and Indie Memphis invite you to look skyward\, toward the increasingly popular world of aerial drone cinematography. With the advent of more affordable tech\, snagging high-flying shots in your low-budget short or commercial project is no longer a pie-in-the-sky dream.  \nFor this edition of Shoot & Splice\, we’re discussing what it takes to be an aerial maverick with three of the best drone cinematographers in Memphis.\n \n\nPANELISTS \nWIL “HYPE” EVANS \nWil “Hype” Evans is a highly skilled producer\, UAV/drone pilot\, USAF veteran and part of the team at House of Shoots. At 15\, he began producing television shows and commercials in the Memphis area\, alongside his Emmy-winning brother\, Rahn. To earn money for college\, he joined the USAF at 18\, where he received a wide variety of training in mechanics and communication. After his service\, Wil harnessed his diverse interests\, skills and military experience to become an entrepreneur in the world of video/tv production\, eventually finding aerial film a perfect match.  \nHis aerial film credits include music videos with artists such as Future and Hot Boys rapper\, Turk\, as well as television shows like So You Think You Can Dance. Hype has a high-energy personality and a keen attention to detail. A club DJ by hobby\, he has a love for music and never stops dancing. (Some may call him hyper-active.) \nRYAN GOBLE \nRyan Goble is a Memphis-based Director of Photography well-versed in lighting\, sound and editing with over 17 years of experience shooting everything from Emmy/Academy Award-winning documentaries to commercial productions to reality television. His gear of choice for aerial filming are CineStar copters and Jimmy Jibs.  \nAARON JAFFE \nBorn and raised in Memphis\, Aaron Jaffe has an extensive background in marketing\, management and creative direction\, which makes him an excellent fit to bring the Flyral concept to the Mid-South. The company successfully launched in July of 2014 as a drone services startup and transformed into a multi-faceted content marketing company in 2015\, with the addition of graphic design\, branding and digital marketing services. With a portfolio featuring clients such as Volvo\, AEP River Operations\, Pannattoni Development\, Crown Winery\, CB Richard Ellis\, West Clinic and the Shopping Center Group\, Flyral has proven that the sky is not the limit\, just a source of endless possibility.  \nAaron earned his BA and MSBA from the University of Memphis and has held leadership positions in the startup\, healthcare\, technology and marketing fields ever since. A lifelong creative\, he is an experienced graphic designer and proficient in a wide variety of Adobe Creative Cloud programs. \nDiagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic at the age of three\, Aaron also spends time speaking to Diabetic groups throughout the US about his accomplishments\, challenges and experience as an endurance athlete. When not working or traveling\, he can usually be found trail running or spending time with his loving family: wife\, Devon; daughter\, Ellis; and son\, Owen. \n

They are a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. From documentary to animation\, narrative to experimental\, the abbreviated form is no longer just for the novice. Shorts have and will continue to be an important part of cinema\, storytelling\, and culture. The Festival has always treated short films with the highest regard and gives a home to new (and old) projects for audiences to discover and celebrate. \nThe Festival’s Short Film Program has long been established as a place to discover talented directors\, such as past alums Wes Anderson\, Todd Haynes\, Nicole Holofcener\, Spike Jonze\, Paul Thomas Anderson\, Lynne Ramsay\, David O. Russell\, Trey Parker and Matt Stone\, Lake Bell\, Jay and Mark Duplass\, Alexander Payne\, Debra Granik\, Andrea Arnold\, and many others. \nRecent short film discoveries at the Festival include Golden Globe Award winner Jill Soloway (Transparent) and Academy Award nominee Damien Chazelle (Whiplash). \nThe Festival is the centerpiece of the year-round public programs for the nonprofit Institute\, which also hosts 24 residency labs and grants more than $2.5 million to independent artists each year. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n
