"Shoot-Out" Official Selection to Back Alley Film Festival

We've just received word that our film "Shoot-Out" is now an Official Selection to the 8th Annual Back Alley Film Festival. It all takes place on Saturday May 27th in Tucson, AZ.

More on the Festival,

The Back Alley Film Festival is about art and independence. As devoted filmakers Erik Hulten and Joshua Dragotta set out to create a venue in Tucson, Arizona. The festival is about bringing films to Tucson residents. We look for all genres of films from dramatic to comedy to narrative to expriremental and animated. We welcome national, international, and local films. It's one night in an alleyway. We painted a mural and helmed it the Back Alley Cinema. Thanks to the local business that surround the wall the Back Alley Film Festival comes to life. We are committed to screen films that reflect the movement of the artform. We started this festival with 25 chairs, a 300 lumens projector and home stereo equipment. We now rent 225 chairs, bought a 2500 lumens projector and professional speakers and looking for a deal on an amp. We've done festivals in the rain and its been magic!

Apathy Releases "Eastern Philosophy" CD

Here's a personal message from our longtime friend, Apathy. One of the best rappers we have ever heard and a guy easy to root for.

Well...
This is it...

The day i've been killin' myself for. March 21st 2006.

If any of you are friends with me... or know me... you know how hard i've worked on this album. Physically and mentally.
Eastern Philosophy is my baby. And i'm beyond proud of it...
it's a real big deal to me.

Most artists just shit out an album or record, song after song, and decide which ones they wanna throw on. But I approached this album with a whole different mind set, from every other project i've ever worked on.
I wanted this to reflect how I see things... and more importantly, I wanted to show all of you who are my friends, fans, or both (hopefully)... that I care about quality music nowadays. Especially my music.... for the simple fact that you don't HAVE to listen to my shit, and you do.

If you show me love... i'm humbled, and amazed... that the thoughts and ideas I have, can relate to more people than just that asshole, I stare at in the mirror everyday.

If you don't like the album... I really don't know what to say.
An overwhelming amount of the feedback I received was positive... but if you had higher expectations, or thought it was wack...
All I can tell you is that I tried my best, to make music that I like.

I was gonna say something negative, like "Well... fuck you then, i dont give a shit".... But i'm tired of all that. I'm passed that.

I make music I like. Fuck that... I make music I love.
And I love this album. And I hope you do too.


Thank you all so much, for listening for this long.

Real talk
