A very special and short episode this week. Today we have an announcement and an invitation for you all. After beginning this podcast as a way to build up and talk to a community of other filmmakers about their own projects, not only do WE now have multiple films coming down the pike, we have launched our own Narrative Division devoted to the creation of films that tell compelling, original and personal stories. In light of all of this, we are excited to announce our first release of the year, the film BUKE & GASE.

This is that concert.The musical duo Buke and Gase performs a complete live concert to the eerily empty, famed arts and musical hall Basilica Hudson. In between the genre-bending performances that make up the concert portions, the film examines the design and creation of their handmade instruments, a six-string former-baritone ukulele (the "Buke") and a hybrid guitar-bass (the "Gase”) as well as the inspirations behind the songs and lyrics. The film contains both a full set from Buke and Gase made up of their hit songs and new releases, as well as insights from Aaron Dessner (The National), Melissa Auf der Maur (The Smashing Pumpkins, Hole), Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders), Laurie Anderson (Artist/Musician), Jad Abumrad (Radiolab), Alec Hanley Bemis (Brassland), Jonny Dovercourt (music journalist) and many more. Thank you again, and spread the word. And if you haven’t already, we’d love if you’d leave us a review on Apple Podcast - it really does help get the word out and continue to build our community of filmmakers.
