Open Mic


Picture Zen_concert

SYNOPSIS:

Writer/director Glen River is also a singer songwriter and like other artists was drawn to open mic. His experiences formed a story of self doubt and overcoming fear. This was expressed in Mira's Song. The wealth of talent discovered at open mic cried out for a voice of their own. This voice became Open Mic Singer/Songwriter the movie. Many of the Featured Artists also appear in Mira's Song. Both movies were shot at the same time. The locations were The Oasis, and McGillacuddy's in New Paltz New York, and The Joyous Lake in Woodstock also in New York. Footage was shot with a Canon XL1 and edited in Adobe Premiere 5.1.

In making this movie I have attempted to provide a clear window into the creative efforts of artists who have found expression at Open Mic. What I discovered was a wealth of intelligence and abilities flourishing in the quiet background of our community. I am amazed at the depths of talent and commitment which I was privileged to discover. All of the songs are the original creations of the artists.
