Over the last year, we have been giving you little peeks at footage that Quicksilver Consortium, the independent film and video production arm of ShowBiz AZ, has been gathering on the Alwun House.
The footage is now being edited into a 45-minute documentary on the downtown arts pioneer, "Alwun House: Transforming Community Through Art". The Documentary will have its premiere during the 2011-2012 season, Alwun's 40th!
We completed our one-week, limited run at the Tempe Center for the Arts and the Show was a huge success! We had over 1,000 people see the production; our comment cards are in the 90% approval range; and, dear to my producer heart, we had very strong box office revenue!
There is serious interest from a variety of investors and co-producers, including possibilities in New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Toronto.
We are currently editing a DVD of the Show and will have that available in the near future.
We will keep everyone posted!

ART LINK = MISSING LINK
Claire Lawton, of the New Times, has commented on the grave state of affairs at Art Link. Entitled "Missing Link", the article comments on the sad deterioration of Art Link and the growing disgust of the downtown arts community. Despite repeated requests by the downtown arts community to reform its practices and get back to providing services in a timely manner, Art Link continues to operate in the same dysfunctional way that has lead to its growing irrelevance. There is a palpable sense of outrage in the downtown arts community directed at Art Link's (think Sloane Burwell) continued failure to listen to, let alone respect, the concerns of the gallery owners, studio operators and creative artists.
There will be more on this - this is far from over.
