"Let's start with the new poetry book, "Sometimes It's Heaven: Poems of Love, Loss and Redemption," laughed a fabulous sounding Judy Collins. "The new album I'm doing is an album of duets and there are some wonderful features, one of which is a song of David Crosby's called, "Radio" which is a duet with me and Graham (Nash) on a song of David Crosby's. That's one of our starters and then we're doing "Dreamers" as a big choral piece and Michael McDonald songs with me and so on; it's going to be out probably sometime in April. My book of poetry which is called, "Sometimes It's Heaven" is coming out on March 28 and it's a book of 100 poems that I wrote at the behest of my husband a few years ago and they formed this poetry book."

The Hollowing, directed by Steven Weinzierl, follows a couple as they try an experimental therapy to test the compatibility of their relationship. They are placed into a sleep state and are put into a false reality together. This dream-like version of their life showcases the mundane, everyday scenarios of a relationship to the more supernatural and grotesque elements that are unearthed by this therapy. It starts off with relatable feelings of relationship trouble while introducing and building up who the characters are and their relationship to each other, before taking dramatic turns and heightening the stakes of the relationship between the two as the therapy procedure continues. The film plays with the line between reality and dream in a way that is both noticeable and unnoticeable, creating a sense of suspense that is only heightened by the events unfolding onscreen. The film also showcases stellar cinematography and lighting that make the false reality just as immersive for the audience as it is for the characters.
