“We want to create events to incubate other artists and art,” said digital creator and filmmaker Fahllow Caktuz in a Monday phone conversation with YES! Weekly.

People are doing that online, but Caktuz believes there’s more to be gained via spontaneous in-person interaction. “We’re going back to the original grassroots of artists getting together and actually making art, as opposed to artists just connecting online and saying, hey, this is what I’ve been doing, go check out my page, follow me on social media and buy myHemerch.”wants creative’s to come together in real-time and real space. “So, I’ve asked and invited photographers, videographers, models, artists, content creators, social influences, whatever you and whoever you are. I’m bringing my own personal equipment to this event, including green screens and lighting. We’ve brought our expertise and invited other creators who are professionals, to come out and network and vibe.”

Caktuz said the pop-up event welcomes those with any level of practical experience, whether they are professionals, semi-professionals, novices, or hobbyists. “Even if you just like to take photos of butterflies on weekends, I know you want to get better at it. Or you want to find out more about this new camera or piece of equipment that you saw but don’t know how to work. I’m a filmmaker, and when I first started filming and making videos, I didn’t even have my own equipment. It was at the graciousness of my friends who were also artists, and would let me borrow or rent out their cameras, lights, or whatever until I could get my own.”

He promises this won’t be a one-timeonly“Thisevent.issomething I want to start and keep consistent. We want to network and keep the vibes very friendly, and that includes being family-friendly and staying positive. And we want to take it to di erent cities and di erent venues, to Greensboro and Winston and beyond.”

The first such event is the #AMASlife: Art + Music PopUp that the NYC-based Caktuz and his sister, Atlanta-based actress Caranita Harrelson, are bringing to High Point from 2 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, August“There’s20.so much art in everything, not just photography and filmmaking, drawing and painting or dance and music, but things are disparate as woodworking.

Saturday’s venue is at 1734 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive where it intersects with Brentwood. “Right at the corner, the white building you can’t miss. Our host, McKinney Furniture, has graciously allowed us to turn their warehouse into a content creators’ play land, complete with green screens, miniature film sets, body painters, selfie stations, and lighting.” ! MCDOWELL

He said this kind of candid face-to-face conversation doesn’t just advise novices on what they should do and who it’s useful to know, but what not to do and who to“Onceavoid.when visiting High Point, I talked to a youngster in my old neighborhood, who said ‘there are no people around to tell us when not to make that move, or not to trust that person.’ Excuse my French, but say you’re a young person making music, whether singing or rapping or making beats. Where do you go around here without getting your whole ass bit o ? There’s a lot of shysters who will take your money and let that be the lesson to you.” And that’s something he himself needed, back in the day. “I don’t remember any OGs doing what I was doing, who could say nah, you don’t want to make that move, you want to do it this way. There was nobody to drop jewels on us and tell us the tricks of the game. We had to learn it on our own, and a lot of us just didn’t make it through.”

Reynolda Village Welcomes Theodore’s Bar and Market

visions

Anna Margaret Roth and her husband Eric Disch are both graduates of WFU and vividly remember enjoying Reynolda Village as students even though there was not a whole lot to do at the time. Upon opening Dough-Joe’s, which served donuts and co ee out of a food truck for two years before their current location, Roth found that a lot more students began visiting Reynolda Village helping the area develop a whole new vibe.

“It’s been interesting because we opened the co ee shop six months before Covid-19 happened so we truly had no concept, and even now have no concept of what our business would run like had the pandemic not been a factor,” said Roth. Inevitably, the pandemic still impacted Dough-Joe’s, but Disch, who graduated with a Masters degree from WFU’s School of Business,

Named after their first dog together, Teddy, the bar and market rest on opposite sides of each other within the same building. The market functions as both a bistro and small retail space for home goods, snacks, and wine, and across the hall the bar resembles an English pub. Once back in the swing of classes, WFU students visiting the market can count on a fresh selection of sandwiches, salads, soups, and even baked goods that are baked downstairs in Dough Joe’s. With plenty of seating and lounging space, Roth authored the beautifully designed decor inside the bar. And like the baked goods in the market, the syrups developed for the cocktail drinks are also made downstairs at Dough Joe’s. While Theodore’s is divided into two di erent areas, it functions as one unit with a very large communal table in between where people can meet, as well as two entrances with access to outdoor space allowing dog owners to bring their pets“Wealong.justfeel like the Reynolda Village area is such an asset to Winston-Salem,” said Disch. “The area is so beautiful, the gardens and the museum are amazing, they did such a great job with the grounds, and we just feel like we want to put touch points here that people can come to on a daily or weekly basis and enjoy the area, feel like all kinds of people can find something over here.” The bar and market had its soft opening a few weeks back and finally opened to the public with full hours this past Friday. As the new establishment continues to settle, the couple looks to continue expanding their market products with ready-to-go picnic baskets that people can purchase and enjoy on the green space or take home. Already on the hunt to use as many local ingredients as possible and keep products seasonal, they also hope to have a farmer’s market outside one day.

Having finally concluded the long wait to open their second business, the WFU alumni both hope Theodore’s does well, thrives, and develops a group of regulars that love frequenting the bar and market, continuing to build the Reynolda Village community while developing a symbiotic relationship with Dough Joe’s and the university itself. !

Dough-Joe’s shut down for about seven weeks and eventually reopened with indoor seating closed for a period. However, the Reynolda Village area provides so much outdoor space that people did not stop visiting the shop and making themselves at home on the patio or anywhere in the village’s outdoors. Meanwhile, the couple became aware of a beautiful space sitting vacant just above Dough-Joe’s.SiloBistroand Bar had permanently closed towards the end of 2019 right before the pandemic hit. Roth and Disch would walk through what was left of the building and toy with its possibilities as a potential bar. They then left the idea alone but later decided to go for it and approached their property managers who loved the pitch for the empty spot. Optimistic about their new venture, Roth and Disch had hoped to have Theodore’s Bar and Market up and running by the beginning of this year but Covid-19’s aftermath delayed their plans. Everything and anything that was put into motion would take longer than expected, but while the couple waited patiently for things to get shipped, to hire and train sta , and simply set up the place, the excitement around Theodore’s slowly built.

DALIA RAZO is a bilingual journalist, fine arts educator, and doctoral student at UNCG.

Roth and Disch have thoroughly enjoyed working together on Dough Joe’s and now Theodore’s Bar and Market, continuously complementing each other’s approaches and ideas. “It’s been really fun. We have a good time, and neither of us would be able to do any of this without the other person,” said Roth. “We both have very di erent skill sets that end up working out super well together.”

Theodore’s Bar and Market is located in Reynolda Village at 2201 Reynolda Rd. in Winston-Salem. Hours of operation run from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. The bar opens at noon and the kitchen closes at 8 p.m.

feels Dough-Joe’s made out better than other businesses due to it being so new. On the upside, when the pandemic forced everyone to suddenly stay home, it served Reynolda Village well when people began looking for options to be outside while enduring the shutdown. “You couldn’t do much during Covid-19, but you could go out and go for a walk, get outside,” said Disch. “And there is so much space around here, the walking trails are so good that a lot of people, I think, discovered Reynolda Village during thatNaturally,time.”

The UNCSA connection extended to a few members of the cast. Matias De La Flor, who graduated this year and presented a reading of his contemporary adaptation of Romeo and Juliet in Bailey Park in July before moving to New York City, appears as Eric’s fellow football jock Jared.“Working with John was smooth,” De La Flor said. “I have no doubt he will have a long career. It was a very ambitious movie and I was so impressed with the professionalism and craft of the whole team.”Local audiences first got a taste of Where’s Rose when it played at the RiverRun International Film Festival in April, which directly led to its exclusive theatrical run at Marketplace Cinemas. “I’m thrilled to have the film returning to the town where it was filmed to play at our cinema,” said Zack Fox, Marketplace Cinemas general manager and an award-winning filmmaker himself. “This is a great opportunity to support North Carolina filmmakers and filmmaking, which is such a passionate part of my life. See quality local talent and movies on the big screen!” Fox saw Where’s Rose at RiverRun. “I met John, and he and I had some great conversations during the festival,” Fox recalled. “He’s a terrific young filmmaker himself. We’ve kept in touch since the festival. He recently asked if I was interested in playing his film for a full run. Needless to say, I was and we were both very excited to play in Winston-Salem, so we made it happen.”

Ty Simpkins as Eric Daniels, a high-school athlete soon to enter college on an athletic scholarship. One night, his younger sister — Skyler Elyse Philpot as the titular Rose — inexplicably vanishes in the woods surrounding their home. Shortly thereafter, however, she turns up, seemingly unharmed. But Eric begins to suspect that Rose isn’t Rose, which grows into an obsession. To say much more would mean divulging the film’s secrets and surprises, of which there are a few. Su ce to say, Where’s Rose is not the traditional horror film. In many ways, it’s deeper and darker — which was Mathis’ intent all along. “I am very proud of it and all that our team accomplished,” he said. “Obviously, I see the film’s flaws and know that it’s in no way a perfect film. But for our budget and schedule, I think everyone really knocked it out of the park. I have been very happy with the response so far! I know some people will like it and some people won’t, that’s just how it goes! Filmmaking is what I want to do for the rest of my life so what I love the most about it is the experience. For me, I really cherish the making of the film and all the memories that come with that. I made friends, got to travel out of the country for the first time to premiere it in London, and now have it playing in theaters! I just consider myself lucky and can’t wait to make the next one!” (He is presently working on two projects, both in the fantasyMathis,genre.)whogrew up on a farm in Waxhaw, N.C., graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) School of Filmmaking in 2017. He began working on the script for Where’s Rose during his senior year. After graduation, he moved to Los Angeles and continued honing it. For a time, it looked like the film would be made in Atlanta, and Mathis even moved there to begin pre-production work. When funding fell through, his next idea was a more familiar location: Winston-Salem. “In 2020, my team and I decided to raise the funds ourselves through the investment company ‘Wefunder,’” Mathis said. “Once we decided that the next question was where we could go to shoot the film that would give us the most support. Since we were all UNCSA film alumni we decided to go back to our home of Winston-Salem and shoot it there — I’m so glad that we did.” One complication Mathis hadn’t foreseen was the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated stringent safety precautions. “Keeping my cast and crew was my top priority,” he said. “Thankfully we had the Piedmont Triad Film Commission as well as the city of Winston-Salem behind us. They both really helped us ensure that we had everything we needed to make it a safe production.” Mathis also had the benefit of a crew comprised almost entirely of fellow UNCSA graduates. “UNCSA really trained us to work as co-workers, and I mean that in the best way,” he said. “The school really pushes you to work at such a high level when you are on set that you work as colleagues and then afterward you hang out and are just regular college students. UNCSA was a great time for me as an artist and human being. Going to that school, you are surrounded by so many talented peers, it really makes you push yourself and grow. I met so many of my collaborators there who I work with today. So it felt very natural to be working with them again in a professional setting. The bonus was we got to pay them! But truly, it was an honor working with them and it was amazing how fast and professional they all were. I don’t think we could have pulled o this film with the budget we had without such an incredibly talented crew.”

“We are always thrilled when a film from RiverRun finds a distribution path theatrically or on a streaming platform,” said Rob Davis, RiverRun executive director. “It’s especially nice that Where’s Rose is playing locally given its local connections; it was made by primarily all UNCSA alumni and filmed in Winston-Salem. Kudos to John Mathis and his team for making a film during the pandemic and for their success in getting it seen by a wide audience.” “I have so many great memories of seeing films at RiverRun while I attended UNCSA,” Mathis said. “It’s such an incredible resource for the students, and hopefully folks are still taking advantage of that! I loved walking into (UNCSA’s) Main Theatre and catching some indie and just being blown away. To me, there is nothing like the theatrical experience.”

YADKINVILLE, NC — The Willingham Theater and Yadkin Arts Council will present the Drama Desk Award-Winning Musical, The Last Five Years, September 9-11, 2022. Starring Edward Charles Kluttz III and Brittany Darst, this emotionally powerful and intimate musical deconstruction of a love a air and marriage involving two New Yorkers in their 20s takes place over a five-year period while they fall in and out of love. Jamie, an up-and-coming Jewish novelist falls in love with Cathy, a Shiksa Goddess and struggling actress. Jamie struggles to balance his sudden success with his increasingly tumultuous love life, while Cathy deals with the frustrations of her own stalled career while watching her husband from the sidelines. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy telling her story backward while Jamie tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

The Last Five Years speaks to audiences about relationships in a way that few new musicals do, with a brutally honest depiction of career, self-image, and identity; and the challenges those can have on a relationship. It is funny, moving, heartfelt, honest, and thought-provoking. At the helm of this production are Artistic Director Jessie Grant and Music Director Charlie Kluttz. The Last Five Years is written and composed by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown. His emotionally incisive, ferociously energetic, and deeply human scores include “The Bridges of Madison County” (Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations), “Parade” (Tony and Drama Desk Awards), “13” and “Songs for a New World” have brought his unique voice and highly personal songs to stages all over the world.

Remembering Clu Gulager: Real Cowboy, Real Artist Jim Longworth atLongworthLarge

Jim Longworth and Clu Gulager Clu Gulager

IMDBOFCOURTESYPHOTO

RIP (YouCowboy.canview my 2013 interview with Clu by visiting www.jimlongworth.com and clicking on “Celebrity Interviews”) !

But Gulager, who studied the Stanislavski Method, was as serious about his acting as he had been about his ranching, and the shooting schedule of make-believe Westerns was frustrating to the young“Artistsstar.pride ourselves on taking our time to find things in the words. But that didn’t happen on TV. The networks wanted those shows yesterday, so we had to really speed along, and couldn’t even rehearse. We shot each episode of ‘The Tall Man’ in two and a half days.” “The Tall Man” was canceled after two seasons, but not because of hectic schedules or low ratings. Instead, Clu told me it was politics and politicians who killed Billy the Kid. “Congress debated the fact that Billy the Kid was a killer, and that I was playing him as a hero on television, which wasn’t good for our children. So they pressured NBC to take ‘The Tall Man’ o the air. Of course, Congress let ABC keep ‘The Untouchables,’ and our show wasn’t one-eighth as violent as that show.”Soon after the cancellation of “The Tall Man,” Gulager signed up to play a recurring role on “The Virginian” until 1968, then spent the next three decades as a highly sought-after guest star for scores of TV dramas such as “Murder She Wrote,” “Hawaii Five-O,” and “The Streets of San Francisco.” A career highlight was landing the role of the town lothario in Peter Bogdanovich’s film, “The Last Picture Show.” The co-star he was supposed to seduce was a young model named Cybill Shepherd.

“My agent and I sat in the car for about three hours deciding whether or not to wait for movies, or take ‘The Tall Man’ series. I had a wife and little boy to support, so I took the TV show, and I’ve never regretted it.”

voices A cting can be dangerous. Just ask Clu Gulager. “I played the Mouse King in third grade, and this girl named Marian Bebb threw a shoe at me and killed me.” It’s no wonder young Clu put his acting career on hold for a while. Who wouldn’t, after being killed by a flying shoe? Still, the work he did during his formative years was no picnic either, but at least it prepared him for some of the roles he would play later on. “I was a cowboy in Oklahoma, where we raised white-face cattle. I used to have to ride the fences, and in winter it was really cold. When I saw a break in the fence, I had to get down o of my pony with some wire and fix that break. The thing I’m most proud of in my whole life is that, on my watch, not one white face got away.”And while Clu spent most of his time doing cowboy chores, he was also influenced by his father’s many talents as a cowboy performer in Vaudeville and on Broadway. The elder Gulager was particularly known for his mastery of rope tricks, something he had in common with a famous relative.“My father grew up in Indian territory with his cousin Will Rogers. They were both very adept at trick roping. According to my aunt, Will would spend hours and hours down by the barn practicing with the ropes. He always wanted to improve. But my uncle once told me, ‘Your Dad was better than Will at twirling ropes!’” Inspired by his father’s showmanship, and armed with a fierce work ethic, Clu struck out on his own, and paid his dues as a thespian by appearing on stage, as well as in a number of live television dramas. He soon signed as a contract player with Universal Studios where he appeared in everything from mystery series to crime shows. But the Oklahoma ranch hand also found himself working on TV Westerns, which led to his being o ered the starring role of Billy the Kid on NBC’s “The Tall Man.”

“One day, Peter wanted to stand in for me during Cybill’s close-ups, and my heart sank. I thought I was just a bad actor, and that Peter didn’t want me feeding Cybill her lines. I didn’t realize Peter and Cybill had fallen in love. Much later, I was told that Peter had actually wanted to play my part, but the casting director wanted me, and Peter eventually agreed.”

I first met Clu Gulager in 2013 at the Western Film Festival, and we stayed in touch periodically after that. Sadly, Clu passed away on August 5 at the age of 93. Gulager’s acting career lasted nearly 70 years, yet he managed to re-invent himself for each new generation of fans. Us old folks remember Clu for his work in Westerns while younger audiences know him for his appearances in horror films like “Return of the Living Dead” and “Piranha 3DD,” proving two things: a real artist can master any genre; and, anyone who can survive a shoe attack can survive a Piranha attack.

Writer/director John Mathis, a 2017 graduate of the UNCSA School of Filmmaking, returned to his collegiate stomping grounds to make Where’s Rose, an imaginative and even ingenious psycho-shocker. In short, he’s scared up a winner. At the very least, and it’s much more than that, Where’s Rose is a great calling card for Mathis. Ty Simpkins, doubling as a firsttime producer, stars as Eric Daniels, a handsome and driven high-school quarterback recently accepted to college on an athletic scholarship. This is cause for celebration, with the solitary exception of sensitive little sister Rose (Skyler Elyse Philpot), who’s worried she’ll be lonely without big brother around.Oneevening, while Eric’s classmate Jessica (Anneliese Judge) is babysitting, Rose mysteriously vanishes. The next day, just as mysteriously, Rose reappears, seemingly none the worse for wear and not necessarily traumatized. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief except Eric, who is convinced that what emerged from the woods wasn’t Rose. As Eric becomes more obsessed with Rose’s “true” identity, their parents (Kathy Searle and Nick Basta) become more concerned with his increasingly erratic behavior. Even Jessica seems traumatized by the experience, for reasons that only become clear at the climax. Filmed on location in Winston-Salem, Where’s Rose is a thoroughly polished piece of work. The genre trappings are present, but what elevates the narrative is the complexity of its principal characters, and although the film fits squarely in the realm of horror, it’s played completely straight. There may be a few references to other films (and filmmakers), but it’s devoid — appropriately — of humor.There is, inevitably, a “Big Reveal” — and it’s very big indeed, shedding an entirely new light on everything that has occurred, but without diminishing or trivializing it. Actually, it enhances what has gone on before, and in a way, it’s even more horrifying as a result. Mathis evinces a cool, controlled confidence throughout, never belaboring or protracting the storyline. Where’s Rose is tight and trim, running a sharp 83 minutes, and there’s nary a wasted moment. The film benefits immeasurably from its principal performances. Philpot is alternately sweet and spooky as the titular Rose, and Judge proves to be a real discovery in her feature debut, conveying guilt and pain in a subtle but palpable fashion. Simpkins, no stranger to the genre having appeared in the Insidious franchise (the fifth film is due for release next year), is at the top of his game here. His portrayal of Eric is both cunning, credible, and economically rendered. He neither overplays nor underplays the role, and the result is one of the best performances of his career to date. Where’s Rose opens Friday Creek Winston-Salem.

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS (Kino Lorber): Writer/director Ajitpal Singh’s award-winning debut features focuses on a mother (Vinamrata Rai) in a tourist village near the Himalayan Mountains who must contend with superstition and suppression as she attempts to procure medical treatment for her ailing son (newcomer Mayank Singh Jaira), whom her husband (Chandan Bisht) is convinced is the victim of a local curse. In Hindi with English subtitles, available on DVD ($19.95 retail).

FLATLINERS (Arrow Video/MVD Entertainment Group): Director Joel Schumacher’s 1990 psychological drama follows five medical students (Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin, and Oliver Platt) as they delve into the mysteries of the afterlife by intentionally participating in dangerous experiments in which they experience near-death experiences. A potentially fascinating premise emphasizes style over substance, tends toward shallowness, and never fulfills its promise. The real-life romance between Sutherland and Roberts, which generated headlines, undoubtedly helped this score at the box-o ce, although at this time anything Roberts appeared in tended to be a hit. Look fast for Hope Davis in her feature debut, and the film earned an Oscar nomination for Best Sound E ects Editing, available on Blu-ray ($39.95 retail) and 4K Ultra HD combo ($49.95 retail), each replete with bonus features including audio commentary, retrospective interviews, collectible booklet, theatrical trailer, and more. Rated R.

“NADIA: THE SECRET OF BLUE WATER” — THE COMPLETE SERIES (GKIDS/Shout! Factory): A self-explanatory Blu-ray collection ($49.98 retail) consisting of all 39 episodes from the entire 1990-’91 run of the popular fantasy series (originally titled Fushigi no umi no Nadia), inspired by the works of Jules Verne set against the backdrop of the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, wherein teen inventor Jean and the mysterious Nadia join forces when the latter comes into possession of the coveted Blue Water crystal. Bonus features include original Japanese-language (with English subtitles) and English-dubbed audio options, featurette, collectible booklet, and more.

FROWNLAND (The Criterion Collection): It reportedly took six years for editor/writer/director Ronald Bronstein to make his feature debut, an award-winning, micro-budgeted 2007 black comedy detailing the increasingly dismal day-today activities of impoverished, obnoxious coupon salesman Dore Mann (in his only starring role to date) on the mean streets of a rapidly-changing New York City, available on Blu-ray ($39.95 retail), boasting Bronstein’s introduction, deleted scenes, and Bronstein’s conversation with filmmaker Benny Safdie.

FLYING GUILLOTINE 2 (88 Films/ MVD Entertainment Group): A Quentin Tarantino favorite, this 1978 martial-arts extravaganza (originally titled Can ku da ci sha and also released as Palace Carnage), a follow-up to a 1975 film, stars Ti Lung as an outlaw rebel who teams up with female freedom fighters to vanquish a despotic emperor, available on Bluray ($29.95 retail) replete with original Mandarin (with English subtitles) and English-dubbed audio options, audio commentary, collectible booklet and poster, and more.

“MARC ALLEGRET DVDS” (Icarus Films Home Video): A pair of digitally restored DVDs of vintage dramas directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Marc Allegret (1900-’73): 1953’s Julietta, based on Louise de Vilmorin’s novel, starring Jean Marais, Jeanne Moreau, and Dany Robin (in the title role); and Allegret’s 1955 adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s controversial classic Lady Chatterley’s Lover, starring Danielle Darrieux, Leo Genn, and Erno Crisa. Both films are in French with English subtitles, and each DVD retails for $29.98.

See MARK BURGER ’s reviews of current movies on Burgervideo.com. © 2020, Mark Burger.

DON’T TELL HER IT’S ME (Code Red/ Kino Lorber): Director Malcolm Mowbray’s low-impact 1990 romantic comedy, based on screenwriter Sarah Bird’s novel The Boyfriend School (the film’s original title), stars Steve Guttenberg as a lovelorn cartoonist who undergoes a complete makeover engineered by novelist sister Shelley Long to win the heart of dream girl Jami Gertz. The kind of film that helped derail the big-screen careers of Guttenberg and Long, this also wastes the talents of Kyle MacLachlan and Madchen Amick (in her feature debut), available on Blu-ray ($29.95 retail). Rated PG-13.

“HIDDEN ASSETS: SERIES 1 (Acorn TV/RLJ Entertainment): Angeline Ball reprises her role as Emer Berry from Acceptable Risk, an inspector for Ireland’s Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in this spin-o series created by Peter McKenna, wherein she attempts to piece together the possible links between international drug tra cking, political corruption, and terrorist activity in Antwerp, where she must contend — and cooperate — with Belgian terrorist expert Wouter Hendrickx, in all six episodes from the inaugural 2021 season, featuring Simone Kirby, Peter Curran, Charlie Carrick, Cathy Belton, Jane Brennan, and Michael Ironside in support, available on DVD ($39.99 retail).

DVD PICK OF THE WEEK: GOD TOLD ME TO (Blue Underground/MVD Entertainment Group) Legendary B-movie auteur Larry Cohen’s 1976 supernatural thriller — the subject of a 2013 YES! Weekly cover story upon its Blu-ray release (it was a slow news week) — now makes its debut in a 4K Ultra HD combo ($49.95 retail). New York City is rocked by a series of bizarre murders in which the perpetrators utter the same, titular phrase to explain their deeds. Tony Lo Bianco (who replaced Robert Forster) is first-rate as Peter Nicholas, a troubled detective whose obsession with the case leads him into a bizarre, existential odyssey that forces him to confront his own past. A star-studded cast includes Sandy Dennis, Deborah Ra n, Richard Lynch, Mike Kellin, Sam Levene, Robert Drivas, and — believe it or not — Andy Kaufman (in his feature debut). Like many of Cohen’s films, God Told Me To (also released as Demon) is a film of ideas — some inspired, some fascinating, and some genuinely disturbing, even distasteful — and like many of his films the concept is admittedly better than the execution, which is occasionally ragged. Yet the film themes remain timely and creepy, combining elements of Christian theology with alien theory, with a palpable atmosphere of moral decay. It’s not for everyone, but God Told Me To is a true one of a kind, as its cult following will attest. Bonus features including audio commentaries, retrospective interviews and Q&A sessions, theatrical trailers and TV spots, and more. Rated R.

FAMILY EDITIONFUNERALVALUES, At a funeral on Aug. 6 at Rolling Hills Memorial Park in startedsonterbrawlCalifornia,Richmond,afamilybrokeoutaf-thedeceased’sanddaughterarguing,

SFGate reported. Police were called to the scene around 1:30 p.m., where up to 20 family members abandoned the service to fight with each other. The 36-year-old brother got into a vehicle and “attempted to drive toward his sister in an aggressive way, but instead he struck another female and sent her to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries,” said Sgt. Aaron Pomeroy of the Richmond Police Department. He also managed to knock over headstones and vases and break a water main, causing the funeral plot to fill up with water. The coup de grace was knocking over the casket; fortunately, the deceased did not fall out. When the brother finally emerged from the car, someone hit him with a cane to subdue him. The brother was later charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.

The mother of a 6-year-old Butler County, Ohio, boy was arrested on Aug. 9 and charged with endangering a child and contributing to the delinquency of a child, WLWT-TV reported. The incident started when Olivia Eversole, a worker at a Marathon gas station in Hanover Township, saw the boy emerge from a car holding a Smirno Ice. Eversole asked the boy, “Do you know that you’re drinking a beer?” He replied, “Yup, this is me and my mommy’s favorite beer. We drink it all the time.” Eversole called police, but when deputies arrived, the mother, Victoria Hampton, 26, told them it was an accident and left with the boy. But when o cers followed her home, they found the boy riding a scooter, holding another Smirno Ice. “You’ve got to be on your toes because you never know what’s going to happen,” Eversole said.

PARENT OF THE YEAR

THERE ARE EVERYWHERECAMERAS Dr. Yue “Emily” Yu, 45, of Mission Viejo, California, was taken into custody on Aug. 4 after her husband alerted police that she was trying to poison him by adding Drano to his hot lemonade, The Mercury News reported. Yu’s husband first started noticing a chemical taste in his drink in March and su ered from “two stomach ulcers, gastritis and esophagitis,” according to his petition for divorce, filed on Aug. 5. He installed cameras in the kitchen and collected video evidence showing Yu reaching under the sink and pouring something from a Drano bottle into his drink. Yu’s attorney says she “vehemently and unequivocally denies ever attempting to poison her husband or anyone else.” She was released after posting bail. !

WAIT, WHAT? Victor Hugo Mica Alvarez, 30, started o this year’s Pachamama (Mother Earth) Festival with a bang, Metro News reported. After drinking heavily during the festival’s opening on Aug. 1, Alvarez said he wound up in Achacachi, Bolivia — 50 miles from El Alto, where he’d passed out — trying to claw his way out of a buried casket. He alleges that he was a human sacrifice: “We went dancing. And afterwards I don’t remember. The only thing I remember is that I thought I was in my bed, I wanted to get up to go urinate and I couldn’t move,” Alvarez said. He said he was able to break glass in the co n, and dirt started pouring in. After crawling out, he asked a nearby person for help. Local police didn’t believe Alvarez, saying he was too drunk to know what had happened and that he should come back when he was sober.

UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT Miles Routledge, 23, of Birmingham, England, has stirred up controversy by traveling repeatedly to Afghanistan and cozying up to members of the Taliban, the Daily Star reported. Routledge posted on Twitter on Aug. 9, “I am officially Afghanistan’s largest exporter to England. 150+ flags, patches and rugs,” with a photo of his loot. But what’s really got people up in arms is a rug he bought depicting the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. Routledge believes the rug doesn’t glorify the attacks; instead, it was made “by Afghan women to tell a story of a historical event. Hundreds of American soldiers who signed up to the military because of 9/11 have this rug in their homes,” he claimed. Routledge called Taliban members “kind blokes” because he had tea with them after stumbling into their compound during an April trip.

Created and developed by Action Greensboro, Public Art GSO is currently owned and operated by the Public Art Endowment. Action Greensboro, along with several other local organizations like the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, Weatherspoon Art Museum, and GreenHill Center for NC Art, is dedicated to enhancing Greensboro’s quality of life through public art placement in the form of sculptures, murals, temporary and permanent art installations, and functional artwork including benches, bike racks, and bus shelters. The Public Art Endowment’s goal is to “help preserve and expand Greensboro’s sense of community by making possible the long-term and permanent placements of significant public artworks throughout the city,” according to its website.Thefirst permanent, commissioned work of art from the Public Art Endowment is an aerial sculpture entitled “Where We Met” by Janet Echelman, in LeBauer Park in August 2016. “She has pieces all over the world. They are wonderful and gorgeous, and we have one right here in Greensboro that everyone can access as they wander through one of our public parks,” RodmanWhilesaid.every public art piece in the city is not funded by the endowment, Rodman said that the organization is hoping to grow the number of art gifts the city receives.“It’sagift to the public and there are a Chanel Davis Editor

Iconic Arts: Public Art fills Public Spaces

Kathryn Rodman, development & donor engagement assistant for The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro hopes that everyone visiting and living in the city has the opportunity to experience some of the public art. “Art is obviously huge for esthetics in the community and it brings a lot of cultural impact. We have some national and international artists that have contributed pieces to Greensboro and that means that the whole community can witness those,” Rodman said. “It’s just a really great way to enhance beauty and desirability. It’s a community worth the investment. That’s one of the things we say a lot. I think that putting those art pieces in just helps to illustrate that. We want it to look nice too in addition to being a fun and vibrant place to live.”

few other groups that have helped with that as well. The Downtown Greenway has had a really huge emphasis on public art as they establish trails. There are a few private developers that have been really influential in making sure they are covering a lot of their buildings in public art. One developer, in particular, Marty Kotis, has made it a really big emphasis of his that every building he owns I think is covered in some sort of mural, in one place or another. It’s really cool just seeing it all pop up.”

The Public Art Endowment hopes to focus on funding permanent artworks, potentially turning them into landmarks or icons, according to Rodman. “That just means that we are able to leave a more lasting impact. Some of that comes with maintenance and making sure there are funds available to maintain these works because some sculptures definitely do need that. I think having that permanent piece helps to provide that they’ll be here for everyone to enjoy,” she said. “As much as it was fun to see new sculptures brought to town and rotated out, having these things forever makes it a lot easier to be a landmark. I grew up in Kansas City and I know the Shuttlecock sculpture at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is such an iconic piece in Kansas City. The more we have these things in Greensboro, the more that they’re around, and the more they become iconic, too. I personally love that idea.” !

Rodman said that it’s not just about making sure the city looks great but that it also carries a cultural significance while contributing to the city’s economic dollar. “We get people who come to see art pieces. When you get some of these significant works by significant artists, they want to come and see them. A lot of it’s welcoming. We get tourists throughout the state, country, and the world. Our most recent piece that was installed at the Greensboro Science Center really helps welcome folks to that. That’s a huge draw for folks, especially around North Carolina but everywhere. They are welcome by that piece of art that kind of serves as a gateway that is saying ‘Hey, you are here. This is really cool,’” she said. “Of course, it’s also great because it looks awesome. We want people to have a fun time just walking around, visiting Greensboro, and seeing art pieces is a piece of Rodmanthat.”said she feels that “it is really important to have pieces that you can interact with” throughout the city. “The ‘Where We Met’ sculpture in LeBauer Park. The way that it moves in the wind, in response to the weather. I think it’s really great to see that. The sensory wall at the Children’s Museum. It was really important to provide interaction for children but it’s also fun for adults to be able to go and take pictures with things or just really appreciate it from a lot of di erent angles,” she explained. “That’s one of my favorite things about the ‘Relativity’ sculpture out at the Science Center. No matter what angle you look at it from, it looks like a totally di erent sculpture and I just think that’s a really dynamic piece.”

On Saturday, they sold out at least twice at her new brick-and-mortar store at 1162 Revolution Mill Drive. Normally (if that word can be used for a store that had its soft opening on Tuesday, August 9), she gets there a little after 5 a.m., unlocks the door at 7, restocks at 10:30 and noon, and closes at 2:30 p.m. On Saturday, she opened at 8 a.m. and posted “Cinnamon Rolls SOLD OUT” on the Black Magnolia Facebook page at 8:55.When we got there at 11:50 a.m., she said she’d have more in 15 minutes. My photo of the delicious-looking rolls, covered in roasted pecans and shimmering golden syrup, was taken at 12:11 p.m. They were gone by 12:15, before I could order one. But that’s okay. The maple bacon cornmeal donuts were sublime, and the Everything Chive Biscuit was so wonderful it seemed almost absurd when she called it “our basic biscuit,” but then described it as “a handmade everything-blend with black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and poppy seeds.” Pawlowski said that she’s been working 12 to 14 hours a day, which she always expected after her forthcoming grand opening, but hadn’t intended to be doing so just yet. “It’s been very surreal. I’ve been on autopilot just trying to meet the demand, as it’s been way more of a turnout than I expected. I thought my soft opening would actually be soft, kind of slow and sleepy with this little bakery tucked away in this huge mill complex, and I’d have time to work out the kinks as business slowlyInstead,grew.”she’s already hired two new employees and is preparing to o er a delivery and catering position to a third. She already has her husband Ian working full-time.Obviously, she’s known Ian for a while, but both the people she’s already hired and the one she wants to hire are far from strangers. “These are people I’ve known for over a decade, and they’re great, and it feels really cool to be able to give jobs to my friends.” The last time she and Ian worked together, he was her boss, although they were already married. “Prior to the previous time we worked for the same business, we always have separate schedules. We are both foodies who love experimenting in the kitchen and are always doing that at home. Then we worked at White and Wood for a brief period, when I was the pastry chef there, but that was a very di erent dynamic. He was my boss, and was a bit stern with me for a very good and wise reason, as he had to demonstrate to the other sta that he wasn’t showing his wife any favors.”Nowthe tables are turned, but she refuses to call herself his boss. “He’s fantastic, just such a good guy that I love so dearly. And now we know what to expect. We’re experimenting and growing and having fun in the kitchen together, and that’s really awesome. He’s my partner rather than an employee, but I do have to train him.”

There’s also the cannoli cake she said was “super-popular” when she introduced it at a previous bakery. “It was Black Magnolia’s first signature cake, inspired by my friend Lexy Maddox, who’s an amazing Italian pastry chef who had a pastry shop with her mother in Jamestown. She was the pastry chef I actually took over from at Table 16, which was my first pastry job many years ago. Being able to know people like this, and find inspiration in their art, and taking that craft and making it into something else is so Althoughcool.”born in New Haven, Connecticut, Veneé lives around the corner from the UNCG campus strip where she grew up. “I’m a longtime lover of Tate Street.

And now she has her own business that’s also a second home. “Unlike when I was working for someone else, my daughter Amelia gets to be here. She normally is there with one of her grandmothers, and has got her dinosaurs and other little toys and things, and her tablet. She can nap in the o ce and the back is set up as a space she can playShein.”says she couldn’t ask for a better situation.“Oneof the reasons I started this business, other than the obvious facts that I love pastry and I love baking, is that I want to have something to give to my kids. I love that it can be a family business. My son has another job, but at the same, he’ll always have this if he wants it, and can come hang out and make some money and learn.”

But Veneé herself has been training, or rather, re-training, with her mentor, award-winning French baker Julien Vicard.“Hegave me my first shot at baking when I was a barista at Loaf Bakery on Elm Street. Then he took me with him when he went to Blue Margarita, which had its problems, but an amazing baking program, as it was in the old Ganache building.”Shedescribed herself as overjoyed and humbled to be trained by him again. “He’s helping us out with our wonderful croissant dough, and I’m going to be training with him to get reacquainted with ViennoiserieWhen.”interviewed by YES! Weekly last year, Veneé said, “I call my business Black Magnolia Southern Patisserie because I’m Black, Southern, and French.” While a French term, Viennoiserie means breakfast pastries made in the style of Vienna. Despite being named after the capital of Austria, Viennoiserie became associated with French patisserie after the Vienna-born 19th-century soldier, baker, and newspaper publisher August Zang opened a bakery and pastry shop in Paris in “It1839.essentially means laminated pastry.”Inpastry-making, lamination is the process of repeatedly folding and rolling butter into dough to create the super-thin layers that give croissants their signature flaky texture and honeycomb interior structure.“It’ssomething that I always wanted to be able to really do, but before now, haven’t done on my own commercially. In the past, I’ve assisted doing it in restaurants, and have learned the process and made it at home by myself, but this will be the first time I’ve done it in quantity. Having access to a dough sheeter has made such a di erence. I can do it, but it’s about a two-day process, and it’s really awesome of Julien to help us out right now, and for me to be able to continue my pasty training and do the dough myself. It’s been a while because I usually just do a rough pu and things for morning buns and stu , but to do a really nice wonderfully-layered croissant, that’s where he’s a master.” Her menu has varied over her first week, with such experiments as the s’mores croissants that were a delicious success, but cinnamon rolls and biscuits have remained staples. “I’m also going to be expanding to my cakes and pies. I’ve got salted honey pie and buttermilk bourbon pie planned. The salted honey pie is an inspiration from a really old friend of mine, who works in Buxton Hollow in Asheville. It’s a barbecue place, but they have an amazing dessert program, and I remember a few years ago, they posted their salted honey pie and I thought, man, I’ve got to make that. So, I do mine with gingerbread cornmeal crust and citrus whipped cream on the side, and a sprinkle of salt on top. It’s absolutely to die for, and something I want to introduce to the menu.”

“This has been the year where the dream really started to take wing,” Wheeler noted, recalling a show where he sat in with Maia Kamil at the Flat Iron in January. “I was introduced to Jeremy and Tricia Goad from Joy Squad who had a passion for brass music and we immediately became friends.” The current incarnation of the Unheard Project played their first o cial gig for Jeremy’s birthday a few weeks later, with Goad in a management role; and together they’ve been booking regularly since. Melding personal work and a mission of elevating the overall community. “We’re a collective of professional musicians advocating for livable wages, a Project Cranford Contributor

GSO: a collective and performance group with a show at the Crown on August 19, a residency at Revolution Mills, and a mission to build opportunity for local musicians as a whole.Creative Director, Shane Wheeler, has a passion for music and the Greensboro community in which he was born and raised. The Northwest High School graduate went on to study at the UNC-Greensboro School of Music’s Miles Davis Jazz Program, all the while amassing a collection of influences based around his parent’s record collection — ranging amongst artists like Hall & Oates, Brian McKnight, and Kirk Franklin.Primarily a sax man, Wheeler also plays piano, clarinet and flute, within the collective featuring a bubbling brew of jazz cats that started playing together in 2020. “We’re mostly friends from the Miles Davis Jazz Program at UNCG,” he explained. “Our influences are as diverse as the members of our group, but we share an appreciation for gospel, jazz, funk, hip-hop, salsa, R&B, and music from around the world.” The first round of the project was more of a recording endeavor with Xavier Ware on drums, Carlos Garcia-Martinez on keys, bassist Ramon Garcia, and guitarist Colin Moser. The lineup has shifted, adding more horns from saxophonist Roland Burnot; and Dante Fowler, Daron Loftin, Jr., and Emerson Borg on trumpets. As well as percussionists Jobias Jackson and Joshua Wyatt. The latest lineup features Logan Butler on guitar, bass, and keys, along with bassists Jose Medrano and Elias Eppenger; Leroy Pridgen on trombone, and James McLaughlin on keys. Elements from the lineups can be heard on Wheeler’s “Unheard” album; and Daron Loftin’s “Lof-tinge,” both currently available on all streaming platforms.Asperformers, the group strives for the “light-hearted and funny, but dead serious about great music,” Wheeler said. “Performances are a whole vibe; emotional, sophisticated, but unpretentious. We play everything from hard bop to party music, but we hope to be excellent no matter what we are doing.” They’ll bring that energy to an upcoming show at The Crown on August 19, with a special performance from Loflin’s solo group as an opener. Having played around the area with artists like Charlie Hunter and Bobby Previtte, Drew Foust, Take 2, The Hit, Too Phat Brass Band, and Eli Fribush Experiment, Wheeler sees such musical relationships as inspiration for the Arts Revolution Residency.

WEEKLY 21 space for creative liberty for the music scene, and a platform for other creatives,” Wheeler explained. “Greensboro and the Triad, in general, is loaded with talent,” he continued, “but many of our brightest stars are relocating to larger markets simply to make a living. We’re working with ticketed venues and corporate sponsors to show that an investment in artists is beneficial to everyone involved.” The goal is to “deliver quality art and motivated audiences to venues, parties, and community events,” through a commitment to “cultivating a sustainable and profitable culture of musical“Artistsexcellence.”whopractice and perform together often create better quality music,” Wheeler explained, pointing to the Beatles’ time in Hamburg as their model. “Those guys played together for hours every day for two years and became undeniable. That’s what we want for Greensboro musicians.” He sees the Arts Revolution series as a core element. Running second-Fridays through November at Revolution Mill, “the series arose from the success of the Blueprints show with Bobby Previtte and Charlie Hunter,” he recalled. “Following that show I spoke to Nick Piornack letting him know that we can keep this energy going, o ering the community these top-tier musicians in Revolution Mill’s beautiful space. Working with Nick and Jeremy Goad we secured the series with sponsorship from Upstream, a new local company with big plans in the pharmacy space.” The first Arts Revolution show in July hosted Maia Kamil and The Hit. Collins Cornwell was the special guest for August. Artists for the fall shows haven’t been released, but Wheeler indicated audiences can expect some “familiar faces.” Beyond the series, “one of our big dreams is a tour of Triad-based artists,” Wheeler said, noting they’ve been “dreaming” up with J Timber to make it a reality. “We all play together. We all support each other. We show up at each other’s shows when we aren’t playing. It makes so much sense to go share our hard work and talents with folks outside of the SeveralTriad.”members of the Unheard Project GSO collective have upcoming albums in progress. They’ll perform at the Crown on August 19. The Arts Revolution series at Revolution Mill runs on September 9, October 14, and November 11. !
