Our Favorite Stories In Comedy: An Interview With Louie Anderson

Home in the Air screens at the Spring 2022 New Jersey Film Festival on January 28

by Justin Almodovar
published 2022-01-21

Home in the Air is a film by Spanish filmmaker Elena Vilallonga that will be playing at the New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, January 28th, 2022. Usually when something is referred to as being “in the air” it is something that is nostalgic or contagious in some way. In the case of this film, it actually refers to a home that is suspended in midair; Hogar Al Aire. It is a film that follows the lives of two turtledoves who work together to start a family. The images presented are juxtaposed with the sound of a narrator describing a typical life cycle. What’s interesting about this film is that the narrator could simply be narrating the day-to-day happenings of these birds, or their words could be interpreted as revealing a deeper truth about the universality of the experience of life on Earth.

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...1/20/22

by Danny Coleman
published 2022-01-20

“The pandemic,” explained vocalist/entertainer and now author Gloria Carpenter as to how and why her new book “Power Up Your Dreams: Moving From Self-Defeat to Self-Belief”  came to be. “I had a chance to slow down and sit with my thoughts. I’m usually going and going as I’m sure you know for yourself; we are just constantly doing and with the pandemic everything just stopped and here we had all of this time. I’m in a really great spot in my life right now; I have a really supportive, wonderful, giving, loving husband who is my rock and things are going really well in my singing career and writing the book was just another aspect of joy for me and having joy in my life is huge and that was another way other than music of expressing myself and as serious as things are and were with this COVID crisis, I just made the best of it. That is what we have to do in life; accept the “What is” and work around it.” 



Flux plays at the opening screening of the Spring 2022 New Jersey Film Festival!

by Emily Ranieri
published 2022-01-20

Cléa van der Grijn’s Flux is an experimental short film that’s being shown at the New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, January 28th, 2022. The film explores themes such as death, loss, and the self-reflection that naturally occurs when one is isolated. The music in the background is in the style of Sean-nós, a traditional Irish style of a capella usually performed in the Irish language. This choice of music incorporated the Irish heritage of Cléa van der Grijn into the film as well as added to its ghostly nature; the slow and controlled vocals of the Sean-nós added an element of darkness as well as spirituality that captures the viewer’s attention. Cléa van der Grijn has said that she tries to understand the culture of death and loss through her art, and that definitely comes through in Flux.
