Created in 1964 by Maija Isola for Marimekko, it endures as a fashion staple – and as a counterpoint to the monotone grimness of a Helsinki winter. Local designers talk often of the touchstone of nature: the brutal punctuation of winter and the muse of …

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) March 10, 2011

Michelle Danner, Artistic Director at Edgemar Center of the Arts is gearing up to begin shooting ?Hello Herman? at the end of this month. The film ?Hello Herman? is based on the play of the same name which has previously been performed at Edgemar Center.

Video Games, Violent Movies, Marilyn Manson, The Internet, Prozac, or Fame? What drives a teenager to cross the line and become a high-school shooter? More importantly, how do we stop it? Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Lax Morales is looking for a follow-up to his groundbreaking undercover piece on white supremacists. Although his video blog has an unprecedented online following among teens, Lax has been written off as internet trash by the elite of the publishing world. He needs a big story and he knows it.

Hello Herman is a mind-blowing examination of why tragic events like Columbine and Virginia Tech continue to happen in our country. No stone is left unturned as our hero enters the core of Iowa State Prison to ask Herman Howards point blank why he did what he did. Over the course of three days, while Lax discovers what makes Herman tick, the State pushes for his televised execution. Through the two characters’ back-stories we get a sense of the larger world surrounding this issue and the larger issues brought about the world we are creating.

Norman Mailer’s legacy lives on, not only in the minds and hearts of his global readership, but through the pen of his youngest son, John Buffalo, High Times editor, novelist, journalist, and playwright. John has written a morality play about a Columbine-style high-school killer, using such difficult material as both a narrative context and a conduit to broader conversation about the the turbulent and misapprehended condition of modern society in the United States.

Michelle Danner directed the play and is now preparing to direct the film: ?Hello Herman?. Shooting of the film is set to begin Spring of 2011.

Michelle Danner is the Artistic Director at Edgemar Center for the Arts which has The Acting Studio at Edgemar under its roof, the top acting studio in Santa Monica.

Comments:

–Jason Flores Williams–

“John Buffalo Mailer’s HELLO HERMAN is a powerful and important work, a darkly brilliant tone poem about America’s tango with violence and fame. Herman will get under your skin. He may even follow you home. What is certain is you won’t soon forget him. “HELLO HERMAN? is …. relevant, powerful and fearless. I walked away thinking about the state of our country, the state of our youth, the state of our media, and the twisted glitz and cheap plastic that is (barely) holding together the blood and guts of the American condition. HELLO HERMAN needs to be seen in high schools, colleges, ?….and on street corners across this country. It needs to be held up as a mirror so that we see what we’ve become?a society that possesses so much potential, but like the wasted youth in the play, is sentencing itself to death before it ever even started to live.”

– Nobody Rocks Press —

“?…It ripped into the emptiness of our fame culture. We don?t strive and sacrifice for individualized meaning. We don?t strive and sacrifice for something beautiful or higher. But we?ll kill each other to be on TV. We?ll piss on the heart of life to hear our name on something as stupid as Fox News. The lust for that 15 minutes has become the driving force in American existence.”

“Hello Herman needs to be seen in high schools, colleges……….and on street corners across this country. It needs to be held up as a mirror so that we see what we?ve become – a society that possesses so much potential, but like the wasted youth in the play, is sentencing itself to death before it ever even started to live.”

(Vocus/PRWEB) May 20, 2011

King Baldwin, an indie rock band based in San Francisco, has just put out their first album, ?Music for Unsafe Sex.? The title reflects how the tracks feel: funky, dark and naughty. It?s now available for listening pleasure on iTunes, Amazon, or through links on the band?s website at http://www.kingbaldwin.com/.

King Baldwin?s core members include Alexander Eccles, lead singer, and Gabe Turow, Afro-beat percussionist and maker of ceramic instruments. Eccles and Turow wanted to make an album that was fresh, creative, and (lacking anything resembling a budget) cheap.

?Music for Unsafe Sex? includes songs like ?Ron Jeremy,? a minimalist exploration of the special education teacher and classical pianist who repeatedly rose to become the legendary adult film superstar. There is also a song about being cryogenically frozen, a morality piece about a naughty secretary, and a mantra-like tune named ?In the Evening? that features Turow playing an electric, ceramic kalimba he made himself.

The album also contains “Mega Man” (a song about the video game hero with lyrics the band says they struggled with to make “not too stupid”), an Ethiopian horror-funk tribute to ?Dawn of the Dead,? an experimental tune called ?Muted-Low Lullaby? and a bluesy closing number named ?Muse,? which Eccles said ?lyrically addresses the consternation of what-the-hell genre I should write in.?

Picking a genre is always tricky for King Baldwin. ?It is the most cohesive album I?ve ever made,? said Eccles. ?But it?s still all over the place.?

In line with their zero-cost approach, they didn?t use an expensive studio. Instead, they just used their crappy microphones in a homegrown studio in their Ocean Beach apartment. They also passed files through email. They sent their tracks to various musicians, like bassist Jared Milos, who would track over them and return their tracks in email.

?Something that bears a true imprint is usually made by an amateur. It?s a labor of love, not whatever a label wants you do,? said Eccles. ?Besides, unless you?re Radiohead, people aren?t going to be listening for the fidelity of the high hat or anything.?

Tackling the album design was challenging, as Eccles and Turow wanted something that referenced the glaring title while remaining somehow classy and subtle. The final image, created by Pixar’s Liz Seibert, features the iconic “King Baldwin” figure, this time in silhouette and holding a cartoonish lit bomb.

For more information about ?Music for Unsafe Sex? or anything to do with King Baldwin, call them at 415-302-8291 or visit them on the web at http://www.kingbaldwin.com.
