The festival run for Say My Name is just about done. A special thanks to all who were involved in the making of this short film. Maria was the key to the heart of this film, and Andrew brought the look. Thanks! And a special shoutout to all of the fests who accepted Say My Name, in spite of the difficulties in programming a 30-minute short film. Not sure where it will go from here -- stay tuned!

This disc will have an appearance in our upcoming documentary, Ginny & Juel.

The Ingenues filmed 2 shorts for Vitaphone, "The Band Beautiful" and "Syncopating Sweeties." The first sound films had large 16" records that were synced to the film. This is what gave The Jazz Singer sound. However, most record players can't handle a 16" record, so I bought a custom player to play this original Vitaphone disc from 1928. This is a sample of the Ingenues from the film The Band Beautiful, an 8 minute Vitaphone short that played in theaters the summer of 1928 - 97 years ago. Instead of starting at the edge of the disc, Vitaphone records start near the middle, in order to better align the sound with the film.
