Stacey Gillespie- The Man of 1000 Faces
June 03, 2010 02:49Watching any indie short film or feature coming out of Kentucky, invariably the name of Stacey Gillespie will be found somewhere in the credits, and maybe more than once!

December 08, 2009 19:16In the past, I had been a little familiar with the burgeoning Indiana independent film scene, which includes the director of the Starship movies, Mark Racop, who I featured in an earlier interview on this blogsite.

May 16, 2009 23:08In many ways, good rock bands are often alot like a quality wine. Given appropriate time, they begin to reach their full potential.

Time allows band members to develop a good chemistry amongst themselves. It also allows members to better know each other's tendencies as musicians and songwriters. A period of development can also...
