Just got confirmation that Trophy will indeed be playing at the Late Fragment DVD Launch in Toronto. Here’s a video of some show on TV — I don’t even know what it is! — which has one of Trophy’s tracks from their latest self-titled CD release. If you like it, you can hear a better version of it here. It’s called “Nothing to Lose.”
This Is Not A Reading Series offers writers an opportunity to forego the routine of a reading and launch their works in a creative, performative way.
Our events are designed to showcase the thematic concerns of an individual text. There is thus no set format for This Is Not A Reading Series. Every event is as unique as the book it celebrates. For instance, we have staged mock wakes, boxing matches, video game tournaments, faux lectures and on-stage interviews.
While we do not ahere to a format, we do subscribe to a few basic principles. All This Is Not A Reading Series events are crafted to shine a light on the creative process, and, also, to address such lit crit chestnuts as, where does a given text fit on our cultural landscape?
We have provided a creative forum for emerging and internationally renowned writers alike since September of 2003.
This Is Not A Reading Series is produced by Pages Books & Magazines, in partnership with Gladstone Hotel and EYE WEEKLY.
The Late Fragment team is thrilled to be hosted by TINARS and its merry band of pop-cultured participants, thanks to Marc Glassman, the inimitable force behind this awesome literary event series. Given that as Russell Smith commented during one of our past screenings, Late Fragment may be seen as the distant cousin of the nouveau roman, I think the match between TINARS and Late Fragment is just right.
San Jose. The credits roll on Late Fragment and I’m standing before a crowd of well dressed super media geeks telling them that the process of making an interactive feature was a delicious mindfuck. I signed on to do this film because a) Ana accosted me at some panel where I was speaking on some godforsaken mobisode I did for the TIFF talent lab and I thought she was cool b) Anita Lee had really really beautiful hair and c) making an interactive, interlocking narrative feature with three stories, three directors and two producers sounded like it could be a ridiculously bad idea or a first-rate trip.
It’s been a ridiculously first rate trip.
One of the constant questions I’m asked in Q&A’s after screenings, especially in San Jose, is how did I as a “traditional” filmmaker feel about the interactive process. Yes, we came into this project as screaming babies suckling at the teet of not necessarily linear but sequential story telling. We were directors who liked to take you into the world of the main character and carefully craft you through their story. But in Late Fragment, all that went to a bat-filled dark hell. Because what we needed to do is take you into the world of our characters and let you loose. Delicate sequences with perfectly unbalanced pauses, quick transitions, sudden lingerings of joy, appetizers of moments-in-between were not ours to build but yours to play with. We just had to provide you with the ingredients and a matrix of puzzle pieces so well constructed in their connections that a multitude of story interpretations and versions could be built out of them in the most abstract yet meaningful ways.
I know, I know shouldn’t we know, as the party-throwers, whether or not a band is going to play at our party or not? (BTW, photo above is the band The Miniatures from Kitchener, who has a track on the Late Fragment soundtrack.) But alas, lots of partners, and really we just want everyone to have a good time, so our motto is, the “more the merrier!” Of course it doesn’t hurt that Trophy’s music is very much in keeping with the soundtrack of Late Fragment which includes music by The Miniatures, Alexisonfire, and Martha Wainwright.
Got questions? Ask and get an answer from the director, D.O.P, cast, or crew who can best help you. answer. Here's a few that have recently been asked and answer.
