Reelife Documentary Productions' video "Dancing in Noho" was recently accepted into the Northampton Arts Council's juried exhibit "LANDSCAPE: Scene and Unseen". Reelife's Director/Owner Tom Adams describes his piece as "A chance encounter...I was strolling through downtown Northampton on a beautiful summer's eve and I stumbled onto one of the many surreal events that make "Noho" so special....this amazingly vibrant and romantic scene at the steps of the First Church. So, I couldn't resist getting out the ole camera and putting this little vignette together. Northampton is such a funky city... surprises keep popping up all over the place....and that's the reason I've lived in this area for almost 20 years now." The response from area artists was impressive, with over 80 entries received, making the jury process a challenge. The jurors were delighted with the quality, variety and integrity of the submissions and selected works from 24 artists. The show begins Friday, October 2nd and runs through the end of the month at the Hosmer Gallery of Forbes Library, Northampton, MA. A reception is scheduled during Northampton's Arts Night Out on Friday, October 9 from 5:00pm-7:00pm.

All My Plastic Melon Dreams update
I whole bunch has happened over the last week. After having a great correspondence with a potential cinematographer ...I realized I could use some of what I wrote to him as an update for all of you: Here's some nibbles & bits: • entire audio of both interviews (approx 45 minutes)has been transcribed and formatted into a script template. I had about 10 volunteers go through all of the audio. • digitized and edited the 40min Hampshire Interview Footage • digitized end edited the 9min Pearl Interview Footage • digitized Coventry traffic jam footage • redited the trailer to make it a little more fancy • refining the website on a weekly daily basis - still need to add a page recognizing all of the fine backers that are now signed up on kickstart page - it'll have to wait til after the 10th, unfortunately. • raised approx $700 in last 6 days on kickstarter.com without even having launched my full-out campaign • whole bunch of blog-interviews lined up for the Butterroom, YEP, Phish.net, plus about three more. • using twitter & facebook and linkedin are all really helping to get the word out • got another article with springfield, ma's masslive.com online newspaper. • had an invester from a documentary firm email today showing great interest • fbooked with "stickemup" promotions who does great viral advertising stuff...I know the owner-lives in the area.. • just found out another "my-best friends' best from highschool" connection - He holds a great position with red light management. Major good news for the effort of getting "my foot in the door" (I hope)...once the official trailer has been completed. • setting a mtg. date with cinematographer & scriptwriter to details of shooting new footage which will be included in the trailer so, there's a bunch going on and the pledges are helping others to realize that this is a serious endeavor ...golsh darn it all. I'm hoping to reach 10% of the campaign by he end of next week. I'm trying to spead thiskickstarter link around as much as possible without sounding like a broken record or self-promoting freakazoid...
also, i'm supposed to be on vacation but we decided to leave early tomorrow am instead of this afternoon because of all the rain...anyway, i digress.
Thanks again and keep spreading the link around to as many people as you can. I'd even suggest a small link at the bottom of your signature (if you use one)...that way, you don't even have to think about remembering...I find that works very well...just a hint... Thanks-Tom
