Emma and Dan Talbot are celebrating their wedding anniversary. But sometimes love in the suburbs can get a bit messy.
Staring Nicole Trauffer and Matt Stapleton Voice of Margo performed by Taylor Macomber Written & Directed by Rick Macomber
Part of the July 1, 2012 "Under 3 Minute Film Challenge" sponsored by Anticipate Media and Macomber Productions. For this challenge each cinematographer, using a pen as a prop, had to produce a narrative script and shoot it in a few hours on location at The Willows Park in Salem, MA. In addition the phrase "This isn’t going to be easy" also had to be used in the story.
The actors did an amazing job performing on such short notice. Thanks to all of the crew and special thanks to The City of Salem and to Florence and George Ahmed of Salem Willows.
Here’s another one to check out by Paul Antico titled "Timing" vimeo.com/45105680
All of the shorts in this challenge were filmed on the Canon Cinema EOS C300.

The 4th is yesterday, but Summer has just begun and the Gloucester music scene is in full swing. Start out at Nights on the Neck at 5pm with Mamadou Diop. Just in case you’ve never seen him, check out the video below:
Then there’s great music all night long with Special Guest Evan Goodrow joining Dave Sag’s Blues Party at the Rhumb Line at 9:30. See sample of Dave Sag below:
Local photographer / filmmaker Brendan Pike shot some excellent video last night of the Chelsea Berry Band rocking the North Shore Music Theatre “like nobody has ever done before,” as one long-time theatre-goer exclaimed after the show.
Of course you are among the very first people to see this raw footage because you’re an FOB! And as soon as we have more to share (Brendan shot Chelsea’s entire set), you’ll be first to see that video too.
Tomorrow will rock with a New Orleans flavor when Aaron Neville takes the stage with Henri Smith opening — There are still tickets left (get them here), and, as you can tell by this video, which was shot from behind the LAST ROW, all seats are good seats. No; make that GREAT seats. And the sound is spectacular!
Weather is clear and looks perfect for the evening, so get out to Fiesta and party! Over a dozen great choices for live music in town tonight. Check out the full live music schedule here.

We had 4 photographers roaming around so this is just the preliminary stuff before anyone else gets it to you. Much more coverage of the Fiesta 5K coming tomorrow
OK, I said it. It’s the elephant in the room. We actually have friends who look at us like we’re mental patients when we say we LOVE FIESTA! There are only a few places on Earth where the whole city parties and invites tens of thousands of other people to join in. Rio and New Orleans come to mind. Not bad company for Gloucester to be in, is it? Just look at this video from last year:
The guys who didn’t get the pole aren’t cursing the winner. They’re cheering him and carrying him on their shoulders out of the water and up the street. That’s the spirit I’m talking about! A little more of this spirit on a daily basis would make all our lives better.
Plus there’s live music all over town (see full live music schedule here) and nearly everybody you run into is in a great mood for days at a time. So let’s have some fun, OK?

Pre-K to college kids to grandpa. Everybody jumps off Magnolia pier. In this video, we catch part of a game of Pier Tag, followed by some aerial acrobatics and the Zip Line Kid’s first jump off the railing. Given the ages of some of these kids (and adults) you could say they’ve got at least as much skill and daring as the greasy pole walkers!
It’s a beautiful summer Sunday with over a dozen live music choices on Cape Ann (see full live music lineup here). Since the weather is soooooo good, consider the Celtic Music Sunset Sail with Michael O’Leary aboard the Schooner Lannon. Truly acoustic–no mics, no amps, no power except the wind in the sails and the power of great songs and excellent musicianship to move your soul.

Peter Chianca, of Gatehouse Media published an excellent interview with Chris Isaak (read it here). Drummers: pay attention to what Chris says on page 2, and all of you who care what stars wear on stage will want to know how much his mirrored suit weighs (page 3).
Tomorrow Morning, Aurelia Nelson interviews Aaron Neville on her show Curtain Up at 9am on Northshore 104.9 FM. If you’re not near a radio, you can listen live on your computer or iPhone (get the free iPhone app here)
Aurelia and Aaron talk about his music legacy in pop, rock, soul, R&B and his new project with Keith Richards. Plus you’ll get an idea of the music we’ll here next Saturday at North Shore Music Theatre. Good seats are still available for this show (and a few VIP packages). Henri Smith opens with an all-star band. Get tickets here.
The KBMG show will sell out, so for those of you don’t make it in time, there are over a dozen other good choices for live music. See the full live music lineup here.

If you’ve never seen What Time Is It Mr. Fox?, here’s your chance — don’t pass it up. They’re at the Dog Bar tonight.
