And finally, we'll be releasing Craniac! On Friday 5/1

Directed by: Paul Villanova
Starring: Harry Aspinwall, Anna Rizzo
Cinematography by: Jim DanDee
Produced by: Jim DanDee
Format: HD Digital
Release: 2017

A young filmmaker (Harry Aspinwall) is obsessed with the idea of projecting his film across the sky of the city he lives in. Unbeknownst to him, the creative choices he is making in his film are being driven by a tiny Martian that lives inside of his brain. When the filmmaker encounters a woman (Anna Rizzo) driven to destroy Martians, it sets off a radioactive, brain-exploding, chain of events that project for the whole city to see...

After Ladia, we'll be releasing Quietus on Wed 4/29

QUIETUS
Directed by: Joy Song
Starring: Maureen Renee Hughes, Jan Waldman, Josie Oberton, Clara McKay, McKenzie Fuller
Cinematography by: Oleg Bolotov
Produced by: Jim DanDee
Format: HD Digital
Release: 2017

A woman (Maureen Renee Hughes) discovers a dead body, only to learn that it is hers. An empty shell equivalent to her own hollow existence. Pushed to embark on a process of rebirth, she unexpectedly finds strength in her past and future selves (Josie Oberton and Jan Waldman, respectively). A meditative take on the existential notion “existence precedes essence,” QUIETUS attempts to explore our human struggle to accord meaning to our lives.

Hey everyone! We hope you’re staying safe and sane in these crazy times.

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be releasing our Rolling Revue 2017 films online starting Monday, April 27th. These movies have NEVER BEEN RELEASED before and were only seen by those that attended one of our screening locations when we drove across the US and back.

Our goal is to raise money for local filmmakers and artists. Part of the proceeds will be going to the filmmakers themselves and the rest to help us stay afloat right now. We have seen our local artist community come together in a BIG WAY and we want to keep the momentum going by supporting each other.

Please tune in to our social media feeds or visit www.auspiciousphoenix.com/rollingrevue (not active right now) next week and if you have the means, please consider donating any amount you can.

Best,

Jenness

Jenness

Every journey has a beginning-and with Jenness Ensemble - it begins with the introduction of two of its members. Jenness Rouse (vocalist) met Maïwenn (harpist) during the production of a live show (produced by ), in which The singer invited the newly arrived harpist from Paris to join her in one of her live shows. The two performed a harp/voice duet of “Summer,” and thus began a journey of shows, music, and eventually a Jazz ensemble.

Here is a sneak peek of the very first song that started the journey (also viewable on YouTube): https://youtu.be/oNFFMjyVWWw

Check out our brand new music video for Running River! Filmed in one take but encompassing weeks of work. A song about the highs and lows of the road. We're feeling really nostalgic about touring right now and this video sums up all the realities of shows filled with beauty and connection, and days of van breakdowns, early mornings and highway monotony. It features dancer/choreographer Mila Thigpen who taught Chris to dance!

Thanks to Jim Dandee and Auspicious Phoenix Productionsfor their beautiful vision, all the film students who served as crew.

Magic is a constant creative exercise for me. To that end, I'm going to continue my year long show, Mind Of A Magician, virtually for now! We had 6 incredible live shows with the greatest audiences I could ask for, and now is your chance to join in on the fun from the comfort of your own home.

On Saturday, April 4th at 8:00 EST, I'm streaming Mind Of A Magician #7 on Facebook Live from my definitely-film-ready-apartment to all of you at home. Get ready for a late-night style show with ideas given to me by my audiences and even some interactive magic you'll be able to do at home (Check out the video on the stream's Event Page below for all the information you'll need to know if you want to participate!).

I know so many people are looking for ways to stay busy, entertained, and connected in these times, and a little magic might be what we all need. I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

In the meantime, enjoy this archival footage we dug up. The year was 1989 - the year of my birth - but through the power of magic I was somehow simultaneously 31 celebrating my birthday with old friends and new!

P.S. Shout out to Auspicious Phoenix Productions for their work on this old timey VHS footage!!!
Happy Hour on the Floor is about leaving behind the stress of the outside world. Its about turning off the internet and going to a happy place in your mind. This week, that has been much needed. Music, yoga, running, and gratitude bring me to that happy place. What brings you to yours? -Chris

P.S. Another new song on the way this week!

One of the several unique things about Jenness is our use of the harp-our harpist, Maïwenn, plays the harp in a variety of fashions, mimicking sounds of alternative instruments, like the guitar and bass.
