JOIN MY PATREON COMMUNITY by SPOTTISWOODE

So I’ve finally done it. I’ve set up a Patreon page. And I’m excited about it.

In the era of Spotify it’s harder than ever to justify the expense of recording and releasing music. Crowdsourcing has been helpful and I’m very grateful for it but I think Patreon is even better. It’s a subscription service that puts the artist in closer contact with fans and friends alike, an opportunity to share brand new songs and other goodies when they’re still fresh. Believe me, that’s a big motivator for an artist. I usually wait a year or two or three before putting out a collection of songs. For all kinds of silly reasons - perfectionism, business strategy, you name it. Patreon joins the dots and keeps the ball rolling.

Please join me on my adventure! Here’s my Patreon page and here’s my Patreon video pitch!

See you soon in my living room…

Trailer for EITHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT by SPOTTISWOODE

Okay the film still doesn’t have distro but at least you can see the trailer. Director Roger Spottiswoode needed an upbeat poppy number a la Taylor Swift for a sequence in the middle of the film. I was cheaper. He liked the song so much he put it in the trailer as well. Sung by Bree Sharp and produced by Don DiLego.
