A Night to Remember | Media List


Statement

I have produced two videos, Night to Remember, and Walking Distance, for St. Louis Park Community Television and for a free DVD. Musical teens and adults sing, play guitars, and read poetry at the Open Mike on Tuesday nights at the Depot Coffee House in Hopkins, Minnesota. Many of the performers forget their instruments, lyrics, and song titles. The coffee house is a project for the schools in Hopkins. I recorded a Tuesday night open-mike performance in February, 2009, which was cablecast on St. Louis Park TV 15 in April. The performances range from beat poetry reading and motion-controlled synthesizer generated psychedelic works to folk songs from girl groups, hip hop from the boys, and musical stand-up comedy.
Hopkins Arts Series. St. Louis Park Community TV 15 cablecasted A Night to Remember during the week before Easter, 2009. St. Louis Park Community Television will also cablecast excerpts from Walking Distance, an adult-oriented documentary that traces the origin of the thriving teen Hopkins Arts scene to history, from the end of the 19th century, when T. B. Walker started to develop the Walker Art Center and the St.Louis Park community nearby, to the early 20th century Opera Hall and opera society in Hopkins, to the media-generating phenomenon of cruising in Hopkins at the end of the 1970's, to Opera Hall developer Charles D. Redepenning becoming the mayor of Hopkins in the 1990's. To watch the videos, click here. See auditions and takes for A Night to Remember at www.youtube.com/hippoflicks. .
