This is a promo piece the Changing Elevations, Inc. crew did for the musical cooking show, “Soundbites.” The crew mixed cooking segments with interviews and musical performances for a show that was pitched to PBS and Food Network.
The show did not sell, but it’s still one of my favorite projects and helped build a relationship with the featured band, Bombadil, who provided music for our circus documentary, “Tearing Down the Tent.”
The entire “Soundbites” episode will be posted her within the next week, but this short promo has an exclusive song we never used in the episode.
There’s a tight knot that creeps up on my stomach each time the credits start to roll for my circus documentary, “Tearing Down the Tent.” And Saturday night was no different.
Oh sure, the screening group was made up of about 20 to 30 of my friends, who brought people they knew as well, so it was a “kid gloves” crowd. Especially since they knew this was my first outing at directing a feature film.
But you sit there and you watch the crowd and hope people laugh at the right spots and seem caught up in the story. The hilarious thing is, since I’ve seen this movie MULTIPLE times with two of my friends, we were actually in the back row quietly heckling the film. Not in a bad way. Just noticing things that made us start to laugh or think of other things.
