I don’t know what I’d do if I found out I had only a week to live. Maybe I would surround myself with friends and family and host a big farewell party for myself. Or maybe I’d just wind up sitting at home alone, watching old movies while eating gigantic brownies covered in inch-high fudge. Everyone would react differently, of course, which is why I can’t fault Ben Tyler for his soulsearching journey in 2009’s charming little road movie, “One Week.� Life hasn’t been very thrilling for Ben Tyler (“Fringe’s� Joshua Jackson). After a childhood of the typical disappointments, Ben grew up and settled for a mundane existence. He never left his Toronto hometown, not even for a vacation. He took a job teaching English to bored kids because it was there and he could do it, not because he had a passion for it. In fact, Ben doesn’t have a passion for

much of anything, not even his devoted fiancĂŠe Samantha (Liane Balaban), who loves Ben so much she even watches golf on TV with him. It’s not that Ben doesn’t love Samantha; he does. He loves his parents and sister, too. He’s moderately happy and that, apparently, is all he’s going to get out of life. Ben’s convinced himself that it’s enough — until the diagnosis. Sitting in his doctor’s office, Ben is stunned to learn he not only has cancer, but that it’s metastasized and is in stage four. “How many stages are there?â€? Ben asks. “I don’t even feel sick.â€? “Four,â€? his doctor says. Ben has two years left at most although he could die much sooner than that, perhaps in as little as
a month — or a week. Suddenly sick with panic, Ben bolts from the doctor’s office. When he finally stops running to catch his breath, it’s in front of a small house where an old guy is selling his motorcycle. Samantha, a bit of a control freak, despises motorcycles and won’t let Ben ride one. Things are different now, though. After a test drive, Ben buys the bike and heads home to tell Samantha some startling news. Finding out that her fiancÊ has terminal cancer is shocking enough, but Ben’s announcement that he plans to take a motorcycle trip across thousands of miles of Canadian wilderness — all by himself when he should be in treatment — is even worse for poor Samantha. Ben is insistent, though. He’s not ready to be a patient yet. He wants to live, and this is something he has to do with the little time he might have left. He knows
it won’t save his life, but then again, maybe it will. “One Week� took just five weeks to shoot, with three of those spent on the road in the middle of some glorious Canadian scenery and dozens of fabulous tourist-trap stops, like the biggest collage and the biggest paperclip. Joshua Jackson, a native Canadian (he’s from Vancouver) makes Ben such a nice guy that it’s impossible to hate him for ditching everyone who loves him; some people just need to be by themselves to adjust to catastrophic news and besides, he does come back in the end. And if Ben hadn’t gone on his trip, he wouldn’t have touched the lives of the nurse who catches an earlier train, lonely rancher Fran and the German couple on the beach — all of whom benefit greatly from their encounters with Ben. The easygoing “One Week� is unrated. Check it out!

‘Horny Toad’ filmmakers practice what they preach Kendall Brown Pop Staff Writer
When Stefanie Leland was a child, she was fascinated by horny toads. As an adult, however, she began to notice fewer and fewer of the horned lizard from her childhood. Eventually, others around her began to notice, too. “I was sitting around with a group of friends and somebody mentioned horny toads,” Leland said. “We realized that we all remembered them from our childhood but hadn’t seen them in a long time. So I decided to find out why.” So she began to assemble a film crew with her husband, Beau Leland, as camera operator and editor, Royce Sharp as sound recordist, Steven Stark as musical composer, and Shawn Downey as animator. In June 2009, they began traveling the Midwest, in search of horned lizards and those passionate about them. “We’ve interviewed between 20 and 25 people for the film so far,” Stefanie said. Through these interviews, the documentary “Where Did the Horny Toad Go?” was born. The documentary focuses on the plight of the horned lizard, documenting its quickly shrinking habitat and humans’ impact on the situation. Producer, director and writer Stefanie Leland did not originally

set out to be a filmmaker. Her first bachelor’s degree was in biology from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. She then went on to earn a theater degree from the University of Central Oklahoma and a film degree from Oklahoma City
Community College. “I keep telling Stefanie that if she’s not careful, she’ll end up the voice of environmental films in the area,” Beau Leland quipped. The filmmakers’ attempted to make the film in as environmentally friendly a way as possible.
When travelling to interviews, they used a vehicle with good gas mileage and used reusable containers around set. “One of our goals is to leave as light of a footprint as possible,” Stefanie said. As with many independent
films, one issue the filmmakers have struggled with is funding. They have staged a few successful fundraising campaigns, but are still on the lookout for more investors. According to Stefanie, investing in the film can be mutually beneficial. “We’re still looking for funding,” Stefanie said. “Right now, as it stands, people can get a tax write-off for it.” While the crew is still working on finishing touches on the film, including the score and animation, they will be debuting an extended preview at Oklahoma City’s deadCENTER film festival in June. Stefanie said they hope the extended preview will help generate more interest and funding for the film. In addition to the screening, the crew will be there selling T-shirts to raise funds. It’s like giving somebody the fried pickle without the ranch,” Stefanie said. Screenings for the extended preview of “Where Did the Horny Toad Go?” will be at 8 p.m., June 10 and 3 p.m., June 11 at the Kerr Auditorium in Oklahoma City and at 5 p.m., June 12 at the IAO Gallery in Okahloma City.

Six visual artists’ paths cross at Delo Creative By Kendall Brown Pop Staff Writer
When George Salisbury was in his teens, he decided to make a little extra cash making T-shirts. He made up a batch of bootleg shirts and headed to a Flaming Lips concert. “I showed up at a show with a box full of T-shirts pre-printed, and I asked if I could sell them at the show and split the profits with them,” Salisbury said, laughing. “I think that was forward enough that Wayne was a little shocked and said, “Yeah, get up there.” That was more than 20 years ago. Since then, Salisbury has worked closely with Flaming Lips’ lead singer Wayne Coyne to generate band visuals, including T-shirts, album covers, and videos. In fall 2009, Salisbury created Delo Creative, a visual firm geared toward provide visual services to the Flaming Lips and other artists. The visual firm now consists of six members: Salisbury and his wife, Alana, along with Tate James, David Bizzaro, Bryan Baxter and Joseph Casey. The firm has grown organically, but each member brings their own set of talents to the table. James and Casey both have degrees in graphic design, Bizzaro in traditional illustration and Salisbury and Baxter both have years of technical experience in design and printing gained on the job. There is no formal hiring process at Delo. Each member found their way to the firm through connections and friends’ recommendations. This seems to work for the firm and creates a friendlier, less stuffy work environment. “I was working at Gray Owl in Norman and one of the regulars came in and congratulated me on my new internship,” Tate said. “I didn’t know what he was talking

about. I had just graduated from design school. Later that day, David called me and said ‘Hey, I’m on the way to Norman with George. Do you want to intern at Delo?’ Then we went and had a beer and talked about it.”
All the members of Delo have similar stories about a happy coincidence and meeting the right people leading to an internship and ultimately, a job at the firm. Coincidence wasn’t the whole story, however. Talent defi-
nitely has a large hand in the firm’s success. They have amassed quite the list of clientele, including restaurant Ludivine performing artists Broncho, Chrome Pony and Balthazar. They have also begun working on projects of their own, including a web video series called “Change Your Life.” In the series, who’s exact form can change from episode to episode, the firm allows residents of the Oklahoma City area to tell their interesting stories. Story subjects have ranged from a woman that
tattoos her legs with the Thunder basketball team logo so that she “will always have thunder thighs” to an account of a woman’s first experience with absinthe. “It’s anything in Oklahoma City that we find interesting,” Tate said. “It’s kind of one sided right now. It’s the weird underbelly of Oklahoma City to a point. But we’ve got other stories to make the spectrum wider eventually.” Occasionally, the series focuses on the firm itself. In one such instance, when the other members of the firm showed up to work one morning, Salisbury handed them $50 and told them to head out and find a story. “We all were really kind of freaked out,” Bizzaro said. “We were like ‘Are we shutting down? What’s going on? What’s happening?’” The video follows the four men as they travel around Oklahoma City (stopping off at VZDs for drinks) and eventually end up at the Oklahoma City Zoo. That ‘always looking for a story’ attitude is what makes Delo Creative such a strong visual firm. They’re constantly on the move, constantly looking for their next project. “Things that we do happen really fast,” Tate said. “We won’t plan on anything and then we’ll have an idea and within five minutes we’re in a car going somewhere shooting already.” Casey agrees that the search is important to their process. “The most important thing is to stay in constant motion,” he said. That search means they’re always looking for new artists to work with. “If anybody needs a video made, we’d like to talk to them,” Salisbury said.

LOCAL REVIEWS
Mayola “Money/War” Lo-fi indie-popsters Mayola, based over in Stillwater, prove that Oklahoma continues to produce some of the best music in the country. Now, I’m not saying that Mayola’s recently-released seven-song disc, “Money/War” is an absolute revelation — it’s not. Still, the unhurried, off-kilter and deliciously twangy in all the right places (“Where Does God Come In? and “Money/War”) songs on this independent disc are worth exploring for the musically adventurous sort. Again, this is not conventional stuff. There is an experimental feel to these songs. They may feel unfinished in spots — ideas unexplored or unfulfilled — but then they kick
Suzanna Choffel “Steady Eye Shaky Bow” (Middlebitty Records) Many Norman residents will fondly recall Suzanna Choffel’s passionate late afternoon set at the 2010 Jazz in June finale. Her new album that drops May 24 captures the singer’s miraculous ability to defy categorization. At Jazz in June if you only could have seen Choffel in cowgirl boots, short skirt and pulled back honey blond hair wielding
out a decent jam, as on the aforementioned title track — and you find yourself listening to it again and again. Lyrically, the band — led by Riley Jantzen, who has since put the group on hiatus - addresses some interesting ideas. On the opener, “Hold Me Down,” which reminds me of that quirky minor hit from ’98 by the Texas band Fastball called “The Way.” Not as polished as Fastball but same sort of mood and melody. With a shaky voice, the singer lets us know on “Flowers,” over a spookhouse organ and wellmixed drums, that when the end comes, well, that’s it — nothing more than dirt where the wildflowers grow. It’s a strangely gripping song, lyrically and musically. Grainy, robotic synths help propel the oddly
catchy “Bad Man” while we take a trip back to the industrial age of the mid19th century on “1853.” The Mayola boys love a good synth and they offer up Yes-worthy chords that are just understated enough to not be overindulgent. And Mayola’s vintage vibe comes through on “The Great Train Robbery.” You can almost see the grainy footage in your mind as the handlebar-mustachioed villain ties the lady to the train tracks. Whoever is playing skins on this track is to be commended. Again, Mayola is currently on hiatus. But don’t let that stop you from downloading their album. Head on over to mayola.bandcamp.com for more information on these guys. — Andrew W. Griffin
electric guitar and couldn’t hear her music it would have been natural to guess she was playing country rock. That wasn’t the case. Choffel brings together jazz, blues and soul elements to create a rich sound that’s difficult to put your finger on. She’s a genre chameleon, and for the cover photo of this disc, anyway, now a redhead. From guest cello to tuba, Choffel taps a variety of sonic resources to conjure her magic. She has a stylist’s voice that at times is
breathy, childlike or pillowtalk tender. These 10 tracks are all about affairs of the heart. Choffel brings to “Animal” a lover’s sorrow for first winning her heart and then tearing it apart. There’s a gentle floating whisper in her voice on this track that’s haunting. “Hold of the Night” recalls some of the best radio hits that came out of 1960s Detroit. Choffel’s bow may be shaky but she has cupid’s unerring ability to strike the heart. — Doug Hill
New from Tinie Tempah, Moby Tinie Tempah “Disc-Overy” Grade: A-minus Tinie Tempah has already conquered his homeland with a smash album and four No. 1 U.K. singles and is ready to take on America with a new version of his “DiscOvery” (Capitol) debut. The 22-year-old from London, born Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu Jr., is set to be the first rapper from the British “grime” scene, which has included the formidable Dizzee Rascal and The Streets, to break into the American mainstream. The mix of hip-hop, dancehall reggae and drum ’n’ bass electronica is a potent one, and Tinie rides it well with clever rhymes and a slick, charismatic delivery throughout “Disc-Overy.” His American breakthrough single, “Written in the Stars,” already set to crash the Top 10, is one of the album’s more conventional tracks, with Eric Turner’s singing on the hook and a triumphant guitar solo making it sound very Linkin Parkish. The newly added “’Til I’m Gone,” which features Wiz Khalifa, is slightly more adventurous, as Tinie delivers such nimble lines as “I’m like Mario on mushrooms, I’m like Popeye on some spinach.”
What truly sets Tinie apart from the American hip-hop pack, however, are the more “grime”-oriented tracks. “Pass Out” is brash and fresh, especially once the dancehall and the breakbeat bits kick in. The barrage of acronyms in “Miami 2 Ibiza” over the neo-house groove of Swedish House Mafia is so smart it’s dizzying. Get ready, America. Tinie is gonna be huge.

melodies and subtle electro dots and dashes have a relaxing effect. In fact, Moby wrote the 15-song album late at night in hotel rooms around the world while on tour. Maybe he should sleep less more often. The first single, “The Day,” offers strains of Bowie, while the lovely “Be the One” (originally heard on Paul Haggis’ “The Next Three Days”) is a ticket back to the electronic ’80s — and worth staying awake for. — Newsday
