id you read my story about Beau Jennings a couple of pages over? If not, then go do that before you jump into the latest new tracks column. Trust me, dude’s new record is unlike anything else going on at the moment. Natalie Prass — “My Baby Don’t Understand Me”

MATT CARNEY All about creating a deeper relationship with music.

“Where do you go when the only home that you know is with a stranger?” Those are the words of Natalie Prass, a singer and songwriter whose list of credentials — though short — includes a stint on tour singing backup for Jenny Lewis. The song’s called “My Baby Don’t Understand Me,” and it’s the second single off of her self-titled debut that’s out now, and it’s a fantastic R&B ballad. It’s a song about ambiguity and uncertainty, and the throwback production communicates those states of being expertly — the drumming is restrained and pops in and out, as are the horns that hide in the back corner of the mix when they aren’t needed. They all serve to set a dramatic stage on which Prass performs, evoking Joni Mitchell in her prime. Tobias Jesso Jr. — “How Could You Babe” A couple of weekends ago when I was interviewing Beau Jennings for the story in this week’s issue of LOOKatOKC, I asked him about a particular lyric he’d written, about how he came up with it. He told me that “Sometimes you just like lyrics that come out of your mouth well.” I suspect that’s how Tobias Jesso Jr. felt about the title of this song, “How Could You Babe,” in which the lanky Vancouver resident howls in more than a dozen different ways in under four minutes. Sometimes, one great catchy

phrase like that — How could you babe? — is all you need to write a decent song. And Jesso’s delivery is a little bit funny sometimes but his voice reminds me quite a bit of Randy Newman, who also wrote a lot of really earnest, tender piano ballads in the 1960s and ’70s. I’m hearing a lot of stuff like this from modern indie songwriters lately, who are recording music in 2015 that could easily have been released in 1972. Call it a trend.

Mikal Cronin — “Made My Mind Up” Time for a story. Last year at South By Southwest I got hungry and stepped out of a music showcase to look for food. A couple of minutes later I was eating a something on a stick, standing between North Carolina songwriter Angel Olsen and budding California rock star Mikal Cronin — two artists who’d put out records I loved — and who were also eating stuff on sticks. This, I thought, happily munching away and rubbing shoulders with rock stars, was the magic of South By. Now Cronin, who’s buds with lo-fi West Coast garage champion Ty Segall, has announced his third record, “MCIII,” with this single “Made My Mind Up” that finds him showing off his instrumental chops on piano and guitar. The cumulative effect is a laidback, easy breezy alternative-rock song with a sweet, sentimental core and a very satisfying closing guitar solo.

Girlpool — “Chinatown” “Do you feel restless when you realize you’re alive?” That’s a question that L.A. to Philadelphia duo Girlpool ask a couple of times in this new song “Chinatown,” a straightforward, slow-moving strummer highlighted by some really excellent harmonizing. Other than Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker’s remarkable voices the only instrumentation here is an electric guitar and a bass, a simple setup that proves you don’t need much to move a listener when the words are good and you’ve got the will to record. I like “Chinatown” a lot. Its slow pace demands that you sit down and listen, then hits you with some big existential questions to consider. There’s plenty of room in our big, often fast-paced music economy for these dreamers.

TEEPEE CHURCH

Roof restored, work to begin inside historic teepee church in Oklahoma County

he original color of the shingles on the roof of the 1951 Hopewell Baptist Church matched the red earth of the northwest Oklahoma County prairie. Designed by University of Oklahoma architect Bruce Goff, the teepee-shaped church at NW 178 and N MacArthur Boulevard fell in disrepair in the 1990s and 2000s. Silver-shingles that covered the original ones were falling off. Holes were opening in the ceiling. The floor was caving in. But with restoration efforts of recent years, the roof has been replaced with shingles that match the original color. And the steel trusses that make the frame have been repainted to the original silver, said the Rev. Terry Ward. Ward is the pastor of the church, since renamed God’s Tabernacle of Praise, a non-denominational congregation. Church services now are held in a building next to the old one. But the plan is to

move back into the old building when work is finished. Ward said he will spend more time on the project to restore the teepee church this year than in any year past. “I’m really hopeful,” Ward said. He said if fundraising can help purchase the materials needed, there are plenty of volunteer laborers, from carpenters to plumbers, who want to help for free. God’s Tabernacle of Praise plans to open the doors to the community for events or meetings once the building is restored, Ward said. Church secretary Connie Golden, who helped establish the Hopewell Heritage Foundation, said structural work to hold up the auditorium floor still needs to be completed. Work on the new red roof was completed last year as was work on the north side of the building. New east and west doors and broken win-

dows have been replaced, Golden said. Work will also grade around the outside to keep water from draining in. “The interior work will require that we first address some major structural issues to provide support for the upstairs auditorium floor,” Golden said. Videographer Peter Adams, of Oklahoma City, is working on interviews with people who have had experiences at the historic church. When finished, the video will help promote preservation efforts. He said he has found a number of people whose relatives worked on the church with surplus oilfield supplies from 1947-51. Ward said fundraising is continuing. “We want to be a blessing to our community,” Ward said. — Robert Medley, for LOOKatOKC

OUTLET SHOPPES

city news

Outlet Shoppes poised for growth as new stores and restaurants set to open

ew stores and restaurants are coming to areas around the Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, as well as a small expansion of the outlet mall. Local chain Ted’s Cafe Escondido is plotting a new restaurant on an out-parcel near the Outlet Shoppes just off of West Reno. Al Lejarzar, president and chief operating officer for Ted’s said work on the new restaurant is still in the preliminary stages and a firm opening date for the restaurant had not been set yet. Convenience store and fuel station operator OnCue Express also has land under contract near the Outlet Shoppes at Interstate 40 and Council Road, said Bob Palmer, director of operations for the Stillwater-based company. “We like the area and it has all of the qualities we like when we consider a site,” Palmer said. At the Outlet Shoppes, a new 3,102-squarefoot Vera Bradley store will open this spring. Based in Fort Wayne, Ind., Vera Bradley is known for its quilted cotton luggage and handbags. The Outlet Shoppes also will soon announce a new tenant to fill the 28,000 square-foot store recently vacated by Saks Off Fifth, said Gina Slechta, spokeswoman for Outlet Shoppes co-developer Horizon Group Properties. “We have plans for that space, but they are still in the works,” Slechta said. “I can assure you we’ve got some great things we are getting ready to3announce soon.” Saks Off Fifth, one of the Outlet Shoppes’ largest tenants, closed its doors after just three years in January. A small expansion of the Outlet Shoppes is also in the planning stages, Slechta said, who said it was still to soon to discuss details. It would be the third expansion for the Outlet Shoppes since the more than 300,000 squarefoot shopping center opened in August 2012. About 28,000 square feet of new space opened in November 2012 and another 25,000 square feet was opened in August 2014. The Outlet Shoppes continues to see strong sales. Between August 2013 and July 2014, the mall saw sales totaling $130.3 million, according to numbers from the Oklahoma City Economic Development Trust. Sales topped $65.2 million from August through December 2014, exceeding sales targets months by 8 percent. — Brianna Bailey, for LOOKatOKC

Power House bar and restaurant embraces the old and new

here’s a revival in the Farmers Public Market district and Power House is sparking it. When electricity first developed in Oklahoma City, the Power House building, 1228 SW 2 St., powered the Farmers Public Market area. “My back wall was full of dozens of tiny breaker boxes,” said owner Clay Berkes. Hence the name for the brand-new bar and restau-

“LOOKatME” focuses on creative people and projects based in Oklahoma.

rant. It wasn’t Berkes’ first choice, but he embraced the building’s heritage, and now the decor utilizes the history, including a giant fuse box as a liquor display. Berkes got the idea for Power House from his long stint living in Austin, Texas, working as a musician in the band Love County and bartending. “I just came here and spent my investment money and decided to open my own place,” Berkes said. “I've been in the music business for 20 years and the service industry.” Although he spent 13 years in Austin, Berkes calls Oklahoma home, and he wanted to create something people would flock to. After sifting through several location options, Berkes opted for the Farmers Market area near downtown Oklahoma City. It’s a relatively quiet area except for the OKC Farmers Public Market venue and the local foods distributor Urban Agrarian. Berkes has worked tirelessly to get his passion project off the ground. “I built this place with my own hands,” he said. “I designed it. Whether it's digging trenches, picking where everything was going to go, I worked for a year and a half without a day off.” I suggest you hit the patio when the weather warms up or head inside and take in the renovations while eating what Berkes calls “simple meals with only a few ingredients.” Some of the items include a chile pork verde with a Hawaiian roll, house-made chili or spicy market peanuts brought in from New Mexico.

For Berkes, Power House is about creating something new while embracing the old. “Everyone is focused on Oklahoma and pride and saving the old,” he said. “I was really thrilled to have the opportunity to make people proud of the history and this state.”

band q&a

KIERSTON WHITE

Norman singer-songwriter kickstarts album, builds sisterhood bag of road snacks and crossword puzzles and stuff. People were really cool. Q: A lot of people became aware of you after you formed the Tequila Songbirds. Why’d you start that group? White: There are a lot of female musicians in Oklahoma who never played together — didn’t like each other, didn’t know each other. I felt like there was this boys’ club where all the boys knew each other, got along and played in each others’ bands, and the girls didn’t. It started off like a game show host thing; I’d put two people together who I’d heard maybe didn’t like each other. And then people started to get into it. It’s more like a sisterhood than a band. It wasn’t ever supposed to be a band. It’s cool that it happened, though. Q: How would you be different as a writer or performer if the Songbirds had never happened? White: I wouldn’t have learned how to play with other people and experiment, and it allowed me to understand and see the appeal of messing up. We were never perfect, and we’d do shows where we’d

never practiced. I thought it was really beautiful that we could mess up live, and people would still love that. Q: You spend so much time with people who started their careers a bit earlier and are one step ahead of where you are now. Do you have any idea what you’re going to do next? What you should do next? White: I know that I need to get some road experience for myself. All my friends who tour have friends in other places who help them, that they’ve helped when they came here. I’m trying to think of all the people I’ve helped when they came here, to reach out to them and go to their towns. I’ll do some trial and error, a couple of circles around different areas, the same run I did with Moreland again. I’ll figure out what works, meet people to open for. Things just connect, and they happen, so I’ll just keep working. If you don’t stop working, you won’t get stale. — Becky Carman, entertainment writer

orman songbird Kierston White has been hard to miss in the past year. With a debut album, “Don’t Write Love Songs,” receiving glowing reviews, White is finding her way — with a little help from her friends — and also figuring out how to go it alone. Q: You’ve been playing music for a long time, but in the last couple of years, you’ve kind of thrown everything into it. What set that off? Kierston White: I had a bunch of songs put together, and all my friends kept telling me I needed to put them on an album, which was true — they were ripe. I knew that I couldn’t go any further unless I made one. My brother (Bryon White, of The Damn Quails) said, “You know these are good. I know maybe you don’t want people to hear them, but everyone needs to hear them now.” So I said OK, and that’s when I went out on a limb and did a Kickstarter, which was really uncomfortable for me. And ever since then, I just didn’t look back. Q: You recorded at Blackwatch Studios and had Samantha Crain produce it. There are so many places to make a

Page 14

record around here. Why there? White: I wanted it to be a little bit edgier than I might have done it somewhere that aims toward country music. I wanted it more alt-country, a mixture between my taste and Samantha’s. She’s a little more indie, and I’m a little more country, but I like her records. I wanted it to sound a little more like that. I don’t want to be just Texas country or just this or just that. I’d like it to appeal to other people. Q: So what else made Sam a good choice for producer? White: She has ideas, and she’s not afraid to say them out loud. Sometimes I’ll have an idea, but I’d be too afraid to hurt people’s feelings, but she’s not afraid. Q: You just did a tour with John Moreland, your first actual tour. Was that what you expected? White: I was afraid that people wouldn’t come. I’ve never been to these places. I didn’t realize how popular he is in other places because I’d never been to those places for music. It exceeded my expectations in that way. People showed up, they supported us, they gave us money sometimes. One lady brought us a gift

album review

SLEATER-KINNEY, ‘NO CITIES TO LOVE’

he girls are back in town, and they’re making up for lost time. It’s been a decade since Sleater-Kinney released “The Woods,” its supposed final album before going on hiatus. As the years went on, it appeared Sleater-Kinney’s hiatus was becoming a full-on disbanding, which makes the band’s eighth studio album “No Cities to Love” a perfect reason to celebrate. The all-girl punk trio abandons the experimental and progressive tendencies it explored on “The Woods” for more of a return-to-form, quick blast of 10 fiery tracks. Opener “Price Tag” wastes no time getting the momentum going with Janet Weiss’ drumming punctuating Corin Tucker’s yelping some very tongue-in-cheek lyrics about the true cost of capitalism. While Tucker handles lead vocals on the majority of the album, some of the best moments come when she’s joined by now “Portlandia” star Carrie Brownstein. On early single “Bury Our Friends,” Tucker and Brownstein trade off verses before joining each other for the infectious chorus. When dealing with a comeback album from a band as prolific as SleaterKinney, it’s hard to not compare it to earlier work. For any fan that thought “The Woods” was as good as it gets, “No Cities to Love” can come across as a bit underwhelming. No song on the new album goes past the four-minute mark, whereas “The Woods” showcased Sleater-Kinney going past the 11-minute mark to great success on the timeless “Let’s Call It Love.” But for fans of the band’s earlier ’90s output, “No Cities to Love” is likely to hit that sweet spot that only Sleater-Kinney knows how to hit. No matter how the record ends up sitting with you, one thing is for certain: It’s a major positive to have this band back together. Sleater-Kinney. Photos provided

GALAXY SWIM TEAM, ‘[GST-01]’

album review

he epiphany of freedom of expression can be a beautiful thing. Simply ask Maxwell Moore, an Oklahoma native who goes by the alias kanon_kid and is one of the co-founders of Internet label and creative mecca Galaxy Swim Team. Yearning for a place to create and thrive with a group of friends, Moore stepped boldly out of his comfort zone to discover a mutual level of creativity with a talented group of friends to bring to life a place where they were all free to express themselves in a way that pushes them creatively into discovering new things about their talent they may not have even known they had. In the world of Galaxy Swim Team, the blossoming of talent in electronic music cannot be ignored, and their first label compilation, “[GST-01],” only proves that fact more. No word could better describe “[GST-01]” than nostalgic. Synchronicity sees to putting this warm, tender feeling to the forefront immediately with a great lead-off in “Take Me With You.” There’s something empowering in the sweeping chorus that makes you feel like you could take on the world, and no matter how difficult things may be, you’ll always have your friends there fighting alongside you. That uplifting vibe continues with Primary Effect’s “Astral Shift” in a sense that the only attitude to have is a positive one. The track bounces along merrily, bringing to mind spending rainy summer days on end indoors, endlessly challenging whatever Sega Dreamcast game is assumed to be the current obsession of the day. Again, that feeling of nostalgia, salvaged youth in the tapestry of forgotten electronic entertainment, is something that truly makes “[GST-01]” shine in ways that most of its peers can’t replicate. Vallco Guardian’s “12 Straight” proves this point magnificently, taking the listener through a long, lost cave of 64-bit wonder. Diving even deeper, kanon_kid’s “Blue (feat. Ivy Hollivana)” gives light to a wealth of musical influences, some known, mostly treasured secret. The beat and chugging rhythm of the track bring to mind the glory days of Neon Indian, a style that isn’t often touched, yet kanon_kid has found a way to spin it into something entirely his own with a beautiful touch. Perhaps one of the highlights of the entire compilation is astroskeleton’s “Tiny Planets,” a song that shows diversity in this group of already diverse artists. There’s something beautiful about Galaxy Swim Team’s “[GST-01].” Maybe it’s that true feeling of unspoiled innocence in youth. The desire and drive to discover something new about yourself and the world, finding hope in the darkest of times. With the help of your friends, you can truly do amazing things you never thought possible. With a label like Galaxy Swim Team, artists are using their individual creativity and drawing off one another to not only get a better understanding for their music but the music around them. — Kellen McGugan, entertainment writer

movie review

‘A MOST VIOLENT YEAR’

R 2:05 3 1/2 stars Starring: Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo, Albert Brooks, Alessandro Nivola. (Language and some violence).

Under pressure: “Violent Year” simmers in NYC Gangstar drama After releasing three films in just four years, writerdirector J.C. Chandor has established himself as one of cinema’s brightest young auteurs, with a distinctive storytelling style: He doesn’t pace his films according to genre conventions; he makes the audience patiently wait for his tight and tense narratives to unfold in their own good time. His previous acclaimed efforts — 2011’s “Margin Call” and 2013’s “All Is Lost” — each earned an Oscar nomination, and it’s a shame that “A Most Violent Year” was left out of this year’s spotty Academy Awards picture, especially considering the caliber of performances Chandor gets out of Oscar Isaac and previous two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Help”). Set in New York City in the bleak midwinter of 1981, statistically one of the most violent years in the city’s history, the gritty yet restrained crime drama evokes elements of “The Godfather,” “Macbeth” and the films of Sidney Lumet without seeming derivative. Isaac, who was excellent in 2013’s “Inside Llewyn Davis” but finds a whole new level here, stars as Abel

LOOKATOKC.COM

Morales, an immaculately groomed Colombian immigrant who heads his growing heating oil business with an ambitious eye towardiable determination to run a mostly straight company in a largely crooked industry. He started as a truck driver and worked his way up to buying the company from the previous owner, a Brooklyn mobster who happens to be the father of his wife, Anna (Chastain). Abel’s equally ambitious and more ruthless partner and bookkeeper, Anna is eager to go gangster when times get tough. Times certainly get tough for Abel right at the time he’s brokering a huge real estate deal that will give him a leg up on the competition. Mysterious thieves are assaulting his drivers and stealing his oil; the head of the Teamsters (Peter Gerety) is pushing to arm his drivers; and an ambitious assistant district attorney (David Oyelowo) is prosecuting him for fraud for following the “standard industry practice” of rigging scales and underreporting income. He may smudge on the details, but once Abel draws his line in the moral sand of the maﬁa-dominated heating oil industry, he is resolved to make his stand.

The threat of disaster constantly looms over the story like the dank gray winter skies, with occasional bursts of violence — a shootout, a foot chase, a robbery — but Chandor maintains tight control over the narrative, patiently and persistently ratcheting up the tension. The auteur’s cast and crew are all in when it comes to telling the story his way: Cinematographer Bradford Young bathes the grimy city in golden light and evocative shadows, costume designer Kasia Walicka-Maimone dresses Abel and Anna in high-class fashions that actually make the ’80s look good, and supporting players like Albert Brooks and Alessandro Nivola give their usual strong performances. The atmospheric crime drama simmers more than hardboils, but “A Most Violent Year” still heats up remarkably well under Chandor’s conscientious direction. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

‘ J U P I T E R A S C E N D I N G ’ movie review PG-13 2:07 1 star Starring: Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth. (Some violence, sequences of sci-ﬁ action, some suggestive content and partial nudity)

With ‘Jupiter,’ What goes up must come down There aren’t enough computers and special effects in this galaxy to help make “Jupiter Ascending” an interesting, engaging movie. Maybe that’s why directing/writing duo Andy and Lana Wachowski (“The Matrix” franchise, “Cloud Atlas”) sets much of this space opera well outside of the Milky Way. There are times it pains me to describe movie plots — because I imagine it takes me more time to describe than the actual writers who strung the ﬁlm together took. But here we go. Earthling Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) and her family wake up every day at 4:45 a.m. (the horror) to clean houses. Her mortal enemies are a toilet brush and her own sad boredom. Insert feeling sorry for her here. Her world gets turned upside when three galactic siblings, with severe mom issues, discover that young Jupiter’s DNA matches their mother’s. This means she’ll literally inherit the Earth. Balem Abrasax (Eddie Redmayne) wants the planet for himself to help mass produce a youth serum with a questionable special

ingredient (people). A genetically engineered soldier, Caine (Channing Tatum), who might as well just throw on a Superman cape in most scenes, foils every assassination attempt against Jupiter’s life. So, every time she falls off a building, tries to get married to a murderer or falls off another building, Caine is there to catch her in slow motion. If that dated “damsel in distress” situation doesn’t sound repetitive, then re-read that sentence a few more times. “Jupiter Ascending” is so comfortable in its explosions and conventional storytelling that it forgets there’s not a single original thought or idea in its own DNA. And nearly everything it tries to do ends up feeling as clunky as Neil Armstrong’s steps on the moon. I especially loathed one scene in which Jupiter, fresh from learning there’s life outside her own planet, exits our galaxy. She awakens in another world and notices she’s wearing new clothes, by, of course, saying it out

loud. Subtle she is not. New clothes, Jupiter? How about new planet? It’s the sort of clumsy dialogue and storytelling that I wish I could save her from. It’s all a shame, because the movie itself is beautiful. It pushes zeros and ones about as far as they can currently go. Sadly, computer graphics only get you so far when you fill a movie with flat characters, laughable costume design (there are gimp robots with gun hands) and a boring plot. It’s like the Wachowskis are trying everything they can to distract from the fact that the story is wafer-thin. “Guardians of the Galaxy,” although not revolutionary, proved that you can do something fun and different in the final frontier. “Jupiter Ascending” ends up being a downright shame. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

Oklahoma Indie ﬁlm gets theatrical release

suspect my pal Kyle Roberts has an underappreciated superpower: an almost unreal knack for taking a good idea and turning it into something grander than anyone suspected it could become. Or, as my boss, The Oklahoman Features Editor Matthew Price, puts it, “Kyle has a way of getting things done.” Over the past three years, these colleagues have turned a concept for a teenage superhero drama — a kind of “X-Men” meets “The Breakfast Club” — into “The Posthuman Project,” an indie hit on the film festival circuit that is now getting a bona fide theatrical release. Fresh off winning the best narrative feature award last weekend at Duncan’s Trail Dance Film Festival, “The Posthuman Project” opened in February at AMC Quail Springs Mall 24. The movie will screen at least through Feb. 13 in Oklahoma City — and will soon open in select theaters in Dallas. “This week will be kind of a test market kind of thing. Oklahoma City will be the test market, and then, depending on how that goes, we’ll see from there,” said Roberts, a former NewsOK videographer who made his feature film debut with “The Posthuman Project.”

FESTIVAL SUCCESS Roberts said he reached out to AMC Theatres’ corporate headquarters during the movie’s successful festival run, which included showcases at Stan Lee’s Comikaze and the United Film Festival, both in Los Angeles; Urban Action Showcase in New York City; 30 Dies Film Festival in the United Kingdom; and a little gig called ComicCon International in San Diego. “It’s been a really well-reviewed local movie that’s seen a lot of interest. We sold out a couple of screenings at deadCenter — we’ve had sold-out screenings several places — but there’s certainly a ton of local interest that I think made them (AMC Theatres) think it would continue to have interest in a theatrical setting locally,” said Price, who developed the story with Roberts and penned the screenplay with noted DC Comics writer and

Oklahoma native Sterling Gates. “There aren’t maybe a lot of movies that are done on this budget that appeal to this wide of a demographic because, really, I think if you liked ‘Avengers’ or if you like ‘Spider-Man’ or even if you like teen movies, there’s a decent chance you might ﬁnd something to like in this. I think it’s great that (with) independent ﬁlms people tell very personal stories; I think we told a personal story, but we did try to do it in a way that the potential audience is pretty wide,” Price said. “The Posthuman Project” premiered last summer at OKC’s deadCenter Film Festival, where it received the Best Oklahoma Film. Other fest honors include best director at the Orlando Film Festival in Florida, best editing at Florida Supercon in Miami, best special effects at the Austin Indie Flicks Showcase in Texas, and best actor for Kyle Whalen at the FLY Film Festival in Enid.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY, STATEFRIENDLY INDIE Whalen stars as Denny Burke, a high school senior dealing with a broken leg, a broken heart and a broken home. With his leg on the mend and graduation looming, he plans a mountainclimbing trip with his younger brother Archie (Collin Place), best pals Adam (Josh Bonzie) and Gwen (Lindsay Sawyer) and protective ex-girlfriend Lisa (Alexandra Harris). Things get strange on the mountain, and in a series of bizarre events, the teens gain superpowers. “I think the family-friendly aspect of it is a reason, too,” Roberts said of AMC Theatre’s decision to release the ﬁlm. “In the independent world, there’s not a ton of those, unless it’s faith-based. Because in the indepen-

dent world, you can do whatever you want, so a lot of times, people do.” Along with the primarily Oklahoma cast and crew, the partially crowdfunded ﬁlm has an Oklahoma-centric soundtrack featuring JD McPherson, Josh Sallee, The Ngheims, DEERPEOPLE and O Fidelis. In honor of the theatrical release, Edmond singer/songwriter Greyson Chance is contributing his new song “Thrilla in Manilla” for the closing credits sequence. The ﬁlmmakers said they don’t think they could have made the movie anywhere but Oklahoma, where people from Quartz Mountain Resort to Yukon High School went out of their way to support it. “It’s not just our movie, it’s Oklahoma’s movie,” Price said. “We felt the love through this whole project,” Roberts added. “My hope is that continues and that we still feel that love through these screenings and that people come out … and bring all their buddies. We together can make this bigger.”

RARE OPPORTUNITY It’s rare for a truly independent film, especially one made on a micro budget like “The Posthuman Project,” to make the jump from festival showings to a true theatrical release, even a limited one. Most of the festival favorites that make it into theaters are made with studio backing or feature big-name talent in front of or behind the camera. “After finding out about this, I was like ‘what does this mean?’ and trying to process everything. And I read that something like 1.2 percent of independent films get some type of theatrical release, and that’s including Sundance (Film Festival selections),” Roberts said. “It’s pretty incredible.” He said that just a seven-day theatrical stand in a single Oklahoma City

multiplex will give people more opportunities to see the film than even an extensive festival run. AMC Quail Springs is initially offering 30 showings in the next week, compared to about 28 screenings the past several months at festivals all across the country. Of course, the filmmakers are hoping enough people come out to persuade AMC Quail to extend the Oklahoma City run — and that the theater chain will expand the film into more markets through its AMC Independent program. Tulsa’s Circle Cinema also is showing the movie at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 6, with a filmmaker Q&A following. “Our goal is to get a wider release,” Roberts said, adding that he also hopes to get a home video and streaming service release for the film. “I think other people are going to start contacting us, especially if this week goes well. … You know, if we have a very successful opening weekend, who knows from there?” Plus, a wider release might give the filmmakers a chance to make some money off what’s been a passion project for a couple of comic-book-loving, John Hughes-admiring buddies and their stalwart cast, crew, family and friends. “Whether anything happens beyond this or not, it’s still pretty astounding, I think, that people are getting a chance to see it and that we’re getting to share a story that Kyle has worked extremely hard to bring people and put on the screen,” Price said. — Brandy McDonnell, entertainment writer

2015: DIVERSE FILM OPTIONS ABOUND

Science fiction, sequels and comedy will fill theaters early this year Editor’s note: It’s a new year, and a fresh set of movies is headed your way. Although we won’t see the typical big-time blockbuster offerings until summer, there seems to be an abundance of ambitious science-fiction flicks set for release. The Wachowskis are taking us back into space, Neil Blomkamp looks to recover after his “Elysium” misstep, and people are brought back from the dead in “The Lazarus Effect.” What could possibly go wrong there? These next couple of months are traditionally a pretty sparse time for hits, but I can’t think of a more diverse start to the year. There’s a healthy mix of sports, fantasy, comedy and book adaptations. I’ve highlighted a few of my early favorites and hope to see all of you in the theater line for snacks. I’ll be the guy adding Junior Mints to his popcorn. — Nathan Poppe, LOOKatOKC editor

Feb. 6 Writer-director siblings Andy and Lana Wachowski (the “Matrix” franchise, “Cloud Atlas”) create a future-world in “Jupiter Ascending,” where a poverty-plagued young Earth woman (Mila Kunis) learns from a genetically engineered former space hunter (Channing Tatum) that she’s destined to be the next Queen of the Universe — if the current queen doesn’t bump her off ﬁrst. John Gregory (Jeff Bridges), a seventh son of a seventh son and also the local “spook,” has protected his country from witches, ghouls and all manner of midnight nasties for years, but he’s getting old and ‘Seventh Son’

Everyone’s favorite aquatic invertebrate comedian enters our dimension as a superhero, on a quest to recover a stolen recipe and tangle with an evil pirate in the animated “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” starring the voices of Tom Kenny, Antonio Banderas, Seth Green and Slash, among others. Yes, that Slash. Feb. 13 The Marvel Universe lets it rip with over-the-top violence and down-and-dirty humor in “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” an R-rated take on Bond-style spy thrillers, based on the popular comic book “The Secret Service” and helmed and cowritten by British action director Matthew Vaughn (“Snatch,” “Kick-Ass,” “X-Men: First Class”). The cast includes Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the most popular, sexually explicit romance novel in the recent history of mainstream publishing is coming to the screen. Sam Taylor-Johnson (“Nowhere Boy”) directs “Fifty Shades of Grey,” based on the popculture phenomenon by British author E.L. James (a middle-aged wife and mother of two), which has been criticized as poorly writ written “mommy porn” (it’s a huge hit with female rea readers), and “S&M for dummies,” and praised for targeting “every woman’s tar un-feminist secret dilemma: security or love.” It stars Jamie Dornan in the title role as a kinky young billionaire and Dakota Johnson Johnso as the virginal college graduate who becomes involved involv with him in a sexual affair that apparently involve involves a lot of whips and hot anticipated features ropes.

the “designated ugly fat friend” (the DUFF) by her prettier and more popular female classmates. Directed by Ari Sandel, the cast includes Mae Whitman, Bella Thorne, Robbie Amell, Allison Janney and Skyler Samuels. Five years after the original, in which four guys were transported back to the 1980s where they met their younger selves and considered the paths their lives had taken, comes “Hot Tub Time Machine 2,” which has only a few of the original cast members returning (Clark Duke as Jacob, Craig Robinson as Nick, Rob Corddry as Lou). John Cusack is conspicuously absent, and there’s bound to be little improvement over the original gross-out fest anyway, since the same director and writer are involved. Dive in, if this is your tub of tea. Feb. 27 Writing-directing partners Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“I Love You Phillip Morris”) will bring audiences into “Focus,” a crime comedy-drama starring Will Smith as a con artist who takes a beautiful young woman (Margot Robbie, “The Wolf of Wall Street”) as his protege, only to complicate their lives when they fall in love. The horror tale “The Lazarus Effect,” from director David Gelb and writers Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater, tells of a team of medical geniuses who concoct a serum that can bring dead patients back to life. After successful tests are done on animals, Zoe (Olivia Wilde), one of the lead researchers, perishes in a lab mishap. When her colleagues successfully use their serum to bring her back, she begins to display unusual abilities that signal the release of a horrendous evil. “Little Boy” is said to be a fable of war and the love between a son and father, from Mexican-born director Alejandro Monteverde (“Bella”) and cowriters Monteverde and Pepe Portillo. The story centers on 7-year-old Pepper Flynt Busbee (Jakob Salvati), who is willing to do whatever it takes to end World War II and bring his father home. The cast also includes David Henrie, Kevin James, Emily Watson, Ted Levine, Michael Rapaport and Tom Wilkinson.

March 13 Kenneth Branagh is certain to lend a serious “Masterpiece” sheen as director of the star-studded, live-action retelling of the classic “Cinderella” fairy tale, which also will benefit from a sterling roster of British acting worthies in key roles. Those include Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother, Derek Jacobi as the King, Richard Madden as Prince Charming, Australian Cate Blanchett as Lady Tremaine and lovely Lily James (Lady Rose of “Downton Abbey”) as the glass-slippered beauty of the title. Ron Howard, one of Hollywood’s most reliable purveyors of solid, entertaining films, takes on a great white whale of a story with “In the Heart of the Sea,” the true tale of an 1820 sea voyage in which a whaling ship is preyed upon by a rogue sperm whale, stranding its crew at sea for 90 days as they struggle for survival thousands of miles from home. Reports of the maritime disaster served as inspiration for Herman Melville’s classic adventure novel “Moby-Dick.” Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy and Brendan Glesson head the gnarly cast. For the sixth installment of this grainy, foundfootage horror franchise, “Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension” continues with microbudgeted scare tactics and a formulaic tale about a cookie-cutter family of familiar types haunted by vile supernatural forces after they move into a new house in Palo Alto, Calif. This one is set to feature actress Katie Featherson, who appeared in all five previous installments, and is directed by Gregory Plotkin, who has served as editor of the last four films.

STORY BY MATT CARNEY | FOR LOOKATOKC

irst things first: “The Verdigris” is not a film soundtrack. Nor is it specifically a documentary about the life of Will Rogers. Or an album of Will Rogers cover songs. This last one’s a trick; there’s no evidence to suggest that Will Rogers wrote songs, Beau Jennings tells me. He would like to make all this clear. “The Verdigris,” in fact, is the title of a documentary film and complementary record both produced by Jennings, a songwriter from Norman, inspired by his longtime fixation with the populist commentator and adviser of presidents, the man who

was the most sought-after Hollywood star of his era despite being born in Oologah before Oklahoma even became a state. But midway through watching “The Verdigris,” seeing the owner of Ike’s Chili in Tulsa break down and cry after Jennings tells him that the last meal his grandfather ever ate was a bowl of Ike’s chili, it becomes immediately clear to me that “The Verdigris” the ﬁlm and “The Verdigris” the record are much more personal works of folk art than I’d assumed, more about family and destiny than just the life of a single, famous person. Suddenly, I can’t wait to ask Jennings about all this.

GETTING TO KNOW BEAU I meet Beau in Norman on a bleak Saturday early in January. He’s in his early 30s, wearing Warby Parker-style glasses and looking very comfortable in a gray hoodie under a denim jacket, and boots, projecting the appearance of a younger, cooler Garth Brooks. His build suggests a great density; a former wrestler from a family of wrestlers. His grandfather Merle won two national wrestling championships in college, Beau tells me, fought in World War II and worked as a surgeon. Beau’s speaking voice is deeper and a little more gravelly than his singing voice,

which always seems to be straining a little to shift up into a higher pitch, and that strain — as if pulling from his gut — gives his voice its timbre. It’s always sounded to me like a man singing a lullaby to his child. Most recently the band he started around 2003, Cheyenne, put out its ﬁnal record, “Kings County,” and his band Beau Jennings and the Tigers plays shows around the metro with semi-regularity after putting out an excellent EP of chunky heartland rock, “Sweet Action,” in 2013. But “The Verdigris” record is exceedingly different from anything Jennings — and probably anybody else in Oklahoma — has ever done before. Its songs were written over a period of years, some of them coming to Jennings in a matter of minutes while others took months, and they’re all built on the incredible amount of research he’s done into the life of Will Rogers, who died at the height of fame in a plane crash in Barrow, Alaska, with the one-eyed pilot Wiley Post on Aug. 15, 1935. I’ve seen Beau play shows in varying capacities since 2010 or so and I’d even interviewed him about the “The Verdigris” once before, in 2011, when he was still living in Brooklyn, N.Y., and had returned to Norman to play some fundraiser shows for the project. Since he started writing songs for “The Verdigris” sometime around 2008, he’s gotten married, moved home to Oklahoma and had two kids, a change of perspective that we discuss over coffee. “That was the reveal to me at the end, that (“The Verdigris” project) isn’t about Will at all,” Beau says. “On the surface it is. It’s still the vehicle I end up taking to get to, you know, like a connection to family that’s lost. A way to reconnect with a time and a place that you just didn’t really know.”

BIG AMBITION The film helps to make this more explicitly clear as you listen to the record. On my first listen to “The Verdigris,” I failed to pick up on many of its subtleties: The multiple songwriting perspectives (many of them imagined), its comfort in ambiguity and its thoughtful pacing all revealed themselves after multiple listens and a viewing of the film, which is set for release later this year. Musically, it’s a complete and satisfying but still mysterious record of alternative-leaning Americana, a little more Wilco than, say, John Cougar Mellencamp. “The Verdigris” is an ambitious record inspired by other ambitious records, and when you look around the local music landscape — which is filled with tal-

February 11 - February 24, 2015

ented songwriters of every stripe — it distinguishes itself as such. Jennings cites American songwriters and musicians with grand visions and strong grasps on melody: Brian Wilson’s “Smile” and Sufjan Stevens’ “Illinois,” in particular. Stevens also contributed work to “The Verdigris,” as did Allan Vest of the now-defunct Starlight Mints and a host of local musicians including Jarod Evans and Chad Copelin of Blackwatch Studios, James McAlister, Dustin Paige, Daniel Foulks, Steven Stark, Sherree Chamberlain and Sam Billen. Even Jennings’ more recent recordings in “Kings County” and “Sweet Action” compare to “The Verdigris” — and I mean this with respect — the way Frontier City compares to Epcot Center. Everything’s planned out better, more vivid, there’s way more of it, and when you walk around inside it, it’s almost like you feel like your own imagination is growing stronger. The record’s penultimate song, “Me and Wiley,” “was like trying to straight-up write (Bruce Springsteen’s) ‘Jungleland,’ ” Jennings said, an attempt to make as big a song as possible. It’s about the plane crash that claimed Rogers’ life, and it’s not so hard to imagine its many parts in the climactic scene of a Broadway play: Little zips of xylophone melody dart in between Jennings’ hyper-detailed lyrics: “A heavy nose and a salvaged wing / they said ‘You’ll never get off the ground in that thing.’ ” The song changes pace at least four or ﬁve times, at ﬁrst rushing forward with expectation and excitement, eventually breaking down in a dramatic moment of peril signaled by shrieking violins. As far as local songwriting efforts go, it’s herculean.

through which someday you’d go east / but you’ll just blow back through the west like a springtime thunder storm.” “Wheat King of Oologah” ends in a moment of poignant accord, with Clement traveling to New York City to see his son perform in the elaborate Ziegfeld Follies. “We just stood there grinning / I called him ‘Willie,’ he called me ‘Pa.’ ” We talk for a while longer about family before I return to the question of what Beau was looking for in Will’s life. He offers this: “Maybe guys like Will are here as more modern examples, as reminders of how we can live.” I ask if what was so compelling to him was that Will struck a balance between his artistic endeavors and his family life. “That’s very possible,” Beau says, his eyes lighting up a little as he chews it over. Then Beau Jennings makes up his mind. “He was just a guy who did it all right.”

FAMILY MAN I ask Beau if he was looking into Will’s life for something to help live his own. “I was looking for why he was so compelling,” Beau says. “I guess everybody deep down is searching for direction in life. Anytime you see a guidepost of any kind, it’s compelling.” We talk for a little while about growing up in Oklahoma in the homes of successful fathers with expectations and about pursuing our interests outside the family business. Beau points out that that was an experience Will, a class clown who ﬂunked out of multiple military schools, knew too. His father, Clement Vann Rogers — a Cherokee senator and businessman who was a delegate to the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention — was known as the Wheat King of Oologah. Beau assumed his perspective in the song of that name: “I hung the door

ust four days short of the 10th anniversary of its opening, Kang’s Sushi Bar and Bistro went dark, but only in an effort to fortify the bright future of its owners’ Sushi Nhinja concept. Owners Kang and Mary Nhin are simply changing with the times as they did the day they first opened in Edmond, less than a block from a Chinese restaurant Kang Nhin’s parents owned. “It’s a really good thing,” Mary Nhin said. “It was a really hard decision, but we’ve got to evolve with the market. I don’t look at it so much as Kang’s closing but reopening as something new.” The Nhins rolled the dice on local diners being ready for an Asian dining experience beyond the buffet in 2005. Ten years later, the Nhins have the dice in hand again. But they are more confident than the first time. With a decade’s experience, they understand that the evolution they helped push in local Asian dining isn’t over. They are simplifying their business holdings, which have grown since they opened Kang’s. “I think that the market is in a paradigm shift toward fast-casual,” Mary Nhin said. Mary and Kang Nhin should know, because they’ve been in the fast-casual business since 2010, when they opened Sushi Nhinja near Quail Springs Mall. When the doors open again in Edmond in mid-February, it will be under the Nhinja banner.

Forward thinking

Betting on foresight is nothing new for the Nhins; without it they might well be polishing a sneeze guard this morning. Instead, they are rolling with the punches. Kang Nhin grew up in Chinese restaurants. His family found security as purveyors of General Tso’s chicken, Kung Pao beef and sweet and sour pork. When the trend moved toward buffets, so, too, did the family restaurant. And all was well in the household, allowing Nhin to graduate from John Marshall High School and gain the education he needed to run his own restaurant. But he and Mary weren’t interested in buffets. “In March 2004, Kang and I had a crazy idea. We were going to open our ﬁrst restaurant together inspired by Chicago’s Red Light. We had visited my sister, Ann, in Illinois the previous summer and were convinced that Edmond needed something sexy and swanky. We believed there was a demand for sushi served in a posh ambience,” Mary Nhin said. At that point, the Nhins had a ﬁfth of the money Top right, Kang’s Sushi Bar and Bistro owners Kang and Mary Nhin and chef Kevin Chan.

they needed, thanks to the sale of Mary’s day spa. To make the down payment and renovate the space that twice had been a Jamil’s, sandwiched around a short spell as a Mexican restaurant, was going to take north of $300,000. But their faith in the dining public outweighed their fear, leading them to risk everything to open Kang’s Sushi Bar and Bistro on Feb. 5, 2005. The Nhins opened a second Kang’s with brother-inlaw Dinh Nguyen in 2007. But the partnership went south, forcing the Nhins to think outside the box if they wanted to expand. Because they were family, it was agreed Nguyen could still operate under the Kang’s banner, but reaching the accord meant the Kang’s brand was forever frozen at two independently owned and unaffiliated restaurants. (Nguyen’s Kang’s Asian Bistro is still open at 6600 Ollie Ave. in Nichols Hills.)

Turning points

So the Nhins embarked on an ambitious plan to reverse ﬁeld from another upscale sushi bar toward the idea of fast-casual sushi and stir-fry aimed at family dining and faster growth potential. Sushi Nhinja was the result. The new Edmond location will take the concept back to ﬁve locations: two in Edmond, two in Oklahoma City and one in Yukon. The Nhins closed their Tulsa location last month after about a year in business. Closing the Tulsa store and realizing their original concept was turning 10 inspired the Nhins to reassess their goals. “We decided we really needed to quit worrying about growth for awhile and invest our energy into making (sure) the places we have are the best we can make them,” Kang Nhin said. On the verge of celebrating a decade of success, they found themselves at a crossroads with their original concept. After a month of consideration, they opted to convert Kang’s into a Nhinja and let go of the concept that began their restaurant careers.

What to expect

“Kang said he thought we would be open on Valentine’s Day,” Mary Nhin said. She said 85 percent of the staff will be retained, but the cocktail bar is closing. “We’ll have some extra space for private event space or sushi classes,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of options, so we’re going to see what ﬁts best.” Nhinja serves a clever combination of approachable sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi. From the wok, it serves Szechuan and Cantonese classics plus originals such as Crispy Honey Chicken and Shrimp and a selection of rice and noodle bowls.

Daniel Chae, owner of All About Cha in Oklahoma City, recently founded the Oklahoma City Awesome Foundation. The Awesome Foundation donates a $1,000 grant each month to whatever project best spreads “awesomeness” in Oklahoma City. Grantees then receive a lump cash award, with no reporting requirements. The streamlined approach makes funding available to those who might not meet some of the criteria for a more traditional grant. “There are so many new places to live, work and play now it’s almost hard to keep up,” says Julie Porter-Scott, OKC Awesome trustee and Yelp’s community manager. “The breadth of new

ideas coming to fruition makes you wonder what other ideas are inside someone’s head just waiting for a little help to come to life.” To take giving to an even higher level, OKC Awesome is partnering with newAnthropy, an online giving platform founded by OKC Awesome trustee Michael Zserdin. With each grant award, readers will be directed to a link where they themselves can contribute toward an awesome campaign, potentially multiplying the impact. This gives anyone and everyone a chance to participate in helping the city. “It really speaks to the fact that giving together ampliﬁes generosity and powers more of the change we want to see in the world,” Zserdin said. “Let’s see how far we can take the act of giving together.”

FEB. 12 • 8 - 11 P.M. Turn up the heat with sensual foods, wine. The Grey Affair is a tastefully risque experience featuring wine, aphrodisiacs and more at Waters Edge Winery, 712 N Broadway. Indulge all of your senses with exquisite wines from Waters Edge Winery plus interpretations of traditional aphrodisiacs provided by chef Jonathon Stranger of Ludivine in Oklahoma City. The menu will feature sea urchin (served with chili, avocado and citrus oil mayo, and black bread),

considered an aphrodisiac in Japan for thousands of years, and raw oysters (with basil, citrus curd and carrot), favored by 18th century lover Casanova for the increased level of sex hormones triggered by rare amino-acids produced. Sweet and savory items will also include bison with port, ﬁg and black bean, Akinoise hazelnut mousse with coffee, trufﬂe and vanilla oil, and a strawberry and chevre empanada with honey and pine nut. “Basically we will be presenting

current interpretations of traditional aphrodisiacs,” Stranger said. “There will be interactive tastings and a few surprises.” The event also will feature soulful jazz by Maurice Johnson with live art and creativity by The Crump Effect. Tickets are $50 for food and 2 drink tickets or $35 for food and no alcohol. Guests must be 21+ years of age to attend. For tickets or information, visit eventbrite.com/the-grey-affairtickets.

In 1999, David Threatt opened his barbershop, Hair Cafe, in the heart of Midtown. The Oklahoma City native had a vision that the district would grow. He wanted to be part of the area and has been able to help shape the Midtown community since his arrival. He has seen so many businesses come and go that he’s jokingly called the grandfather of Midtown and the Midtown Mayor. He’s still very proud to be a small business owner. Threatt is also a supporter of Oklahoma City’s poetry scene and

established a weekly open mic night that’s now hosted every Tuesday at Urban Roots. Threatt survived a suicide attempt 11 years ago after struggling to establish his business in a sleepy part of Midtown. A combination of ﬁnancial and personal troubles made him feel like he was backed into a corner that he couldn’t escape. He decided to use his testimony of surviving suicide to encourage people to overcome their struggles. Threatt is set to release a book titled “And Then I Woke Up: From Suicide to Success.”
