Amy
Geller (Producer)
got her start in film as the Associate Director of the Boston Jewish
Film Festival, where she worked for two years before
becoming involved in production. Geller served as television field producer
and production manager for J. Arnold Productions, whose work is seen
regularly on network television, A&E, HBO, MTV, ESPN, Discovery Channel,
PBS, and CNN. In 2001 and 2002, Geller served as President of the Board
of Women in Film & Video/New England, a twenty-year old women’s
media organization that supports and promotes the work of women in the
greater Boston area. In addition to acting as producer and line producer
on several shorts and documentaries, including the ambitious PBS docudrama
Murder at Harvard, she just finished co-producing a mini-series on the
French and Indian War, also slated to air on PBS in the fall of 2005. Alec
K. Redfearn (Composer) is a composer/songwriter/free improviser/accordionist who
has been based in Providence, RI, for 15 years, and has toured
extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe. He has played in over 30
bands and has
been involved with dozens of theatre, dance, and film collaborations.
His main band since 1997 has been Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores,
which has performed as a chamber trio or quartet with accordion and
strings, as a rock trio of accordion, guitar and drums, and as a big
band with
strings, guitars, drums, electronics, brass, and hurdy-gurdies. Alec’s
compositions are fiercely individual and very difficult to categorize.
Last month, The Village Voice wrote that in their new album, the Eyesores “alternately
wriggle through the grit like Tom Waits with a throat full of honey and
approximate the lost Hindi blaxploitation film music of Weimar-era cabaret.” Alec
has created soundtrack music for several film projects by Laura Colella.
In the past, they also collaborated on a number of short video works
that were projected with live musical accompaniment for a recurring Providence
event called Movies with Live Soundtracks. Currently, they are working
on a film for Alec’s half-hour song cycle entitled I am the
Resurrection and the Light. |
