WellPoint sued an ENTIRE STATE (of MAINE) to increase profits
The Maine Studio opeing took place today, August 25th 2009, it is a very big deal for film in the state of Maine. The opportunity to have a dedicated space in the Portland area to have a sound stage and services related to film, a growing industry in the state, is certainly newsworthy & welcome news like the Goovernor said he'd not seen so many legislators gathered out in public away from Augusta, so you know it's a big deal! Props to Frank Nappi, especially, for his interest & walking the walk about supporting creative arts community in Portland, Maine!

Since December 07 Dick Connette's been working with Loudon Wainwright III on a recording project based around the music and life of singer/banjo player Charlie Poole. Michael Grenadier has been filming as we go along and this is what he's got so far ...
Somehow I stumbled upon a Nic Askew film (short) on a blog months & months ago I cannot remember that blog but Nic Askew films are powerfully unforgettable nuggets of wisdom & humanity, potent timely portraits of extraordinary people, this one of Seth Godin (certainly an extraordinary person) part of Nic's Soul Biographies Series . where you can subscribe to his great films & other media gems. Nic is also a very adept guitarist as you find if you get to know his work.
