A Musical Storybook: “Top of the Mountain” - A Musical Storybook is a hybrid film short combining spoken word, original music, visual art, and an author’s note to introduce a larger multimedia narrative about transformation and creative rebirth. “Top of the Mountain” serves as an introduction to the first chapter — a lyrical ascent toward healing and renewal, featuring film imagery by Danny Sanchez, illustrations and editing by Yulyia Kashapova, songwriting by Billboard-charting Patti Maloney and Billboard-charting artist Ray Andersen. Additional instrumental played and music co- production by Dove Award-winning producer Plink Giglio. Directed by Patti Maloney (00:05:59) World Premiere
The All-American Ruins Podcast: Someone Lives Here - “Abandoned” doesn’t always mean “empty,” and in one particular vacant mini-mansion in Merida, Mexico, that is precisely the case. Continuing on his international circuit, join Blake as he spins an imaginary folk tale about the people who used to live in this house, while wandering its halls and reflecting on family, poetry, and gun violence. Directed by Blake Pfeil (00:20:07) New Jersey Premiere
