There's something charmingly visceral about movie marquees that commit to things for as long as effort justifies putting the lettering in place. The all-consuming alternative is when digital signs change text constantly and easily, which is the definition of fickle. The art of cinema is bigger than that, and more timeless. May this tradition never die.

My 40-minute documentary film "Shadow Axe" (2023) is debuting now at https://youtu.be/9D9kivPQyuk (and here is the short teaser clip). It features electric guitarist Yaron Deutsch who gave a concert, and an all-day master class, at the TIME SPANS Festival in 2022, combined with his insights on the instrument’s iconic legacy of musical inspiration and social change for almost one hundred years. The film probes how to interpret a composer’s work in contemporary music, and how legacy thrives in shadows of greatness. Composers featured and discussed include Fausto Romitelli, Pierluigi Billone, Rebecca Saunders and Klaus Lang. After film festival screenings internationally and then its presentation at the 2025 TIME:SPANS Festival, "Shadow Axe" is now receiving its freely available streaming premiere.
