Our friends at The Fest pulled off another amazing bill. If safe to do, Tim Barry, War On Women, Good Riddance, Strike Anywhere and the rest of this incredible talent will be heading to Gainesville. Fingers crossed! Be safe. Wear a mask. Socially distance. Take care of one another. Get your jabs.
Congratulations to War On Women’s Shawna Potter for this new meaningful award winning documentary. You can stream this film now on @tubi.
“Being able to count on @skatingpolly's remarkable "A Little Late" for our soundtrack was a blessing. The sister members of Skating Polly, Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse, originally recorded the song for their 2014 album Fuzz Steilacoom, but it sounds made for "Falling". Its piano playing and lyrics tie in to the movie's story and original soundtrack in an uncanny way. MUSIC FOR FALLING, featuring “A Little Late”, and the score played by Buckethead and Viggo Mortensen, now available from Perceval Press on @bandcamp, @itunes and everywhere else that music is streaming or sold.” – Viggo Mortensen
