Annie, wake up is an experimental film by Laura Ivins, an experimental filmmaker based in Southern Indiana. Ivins has been working on this film for over a decade, beginning to collect footage in 2012. The project developed slowly over time and does not follow a traditional narrative.

The work carries a strong sense of time passing and allows meaning to form gradually rather than being forced.

On August 15, 2025, Umphrey's Mcgee announced that Scotty Zwang was officially joining the band. His addition was to replace long-time drummer Kris Myers.

During his hiatus, UM would feature a rotation of drummers including Scotty Zwang. Umphreys was founded in 1997 and during their 30+ years change is inevitable. The arrival of Scotty to the band brought new life and on February 13, 2026, I witnessed this metamorphosis at the Fillmore in Philadelphia, PA.
