All dates posted are the anticipated film submission deadlines. We’ll soon be posting more comprehensive information (i.e. festival websites, early submission dates, prices, festival location and submission costs).

Scroll to January 2011 to take a sneak peak at the calendar.

Before leaving for New York we shot a video for another Ninja Tune artist “Shuttle“.

Shuttle found a home for his original sounds amongst the underground Boston musical scene. His unique live shows are now all but infamous within the tightly knit Basstown crew. Their all night parties fuel Boston’s underground music culture with Shuttle’s insatiable sounds and the thrill of no tomorrow at the forefront of every show. Shuttle’s music moved beyond the basements and clubs of the Boston scene and receives spins on Britain’s tastemaker Radio 1.

The Basstown crew are not the only notables for which Shuttle has shared a stage, recent luminaries include: Devlin (Spank Rock), Yelle, Crystal Castles, Diplo, and Classixx. His remix credits are equally as credible and diverse including commissioned remixes of Daedalus, The Little Ones and rockers The Death Set.

While still at school Shuttle honed his production skills devouring anything remotely considered listenable. Armed just with his laptop, he began making remixes of his favorite sounds of the day. These bedroom remixes caught the attention of the influential and tastemakers label, Ninja Tune. His highly anticipated debut release will feature Cadence Weapon and a remix by fellow up and comer High Rankin courtesy of Ninja Tune worldwide at the top of 2009.

We’ll have the music video for the song “tunnel” completed in June 2009.Here are some production stills from the shoot.

Also in the last couple of weeks I’ve found the time to visit a year end school concert at a talented and gifted school in Harlem where my friend teaches music. I haven’t had my camera with me too often, but here is a picture of the Kindergarten kids from Harlem and another group of kids learning about art at the MoMA.
