Welcome to Eggshelland


Yep, it's real. I'm here in Cleveland (yes, Cleveland) and I've just gotten back from visiting Eggshelland, the subject of Eggshelland, the documentary I wrote and performed the musical score for. Here you see me and Chris Noice, the director of the movie, in front of this year's display. It's far more spectacular than I expected.

I also got to meet Ron and Betty Manolio, though I didn't get any photos of them on my camera. The awesome thing about them is that they were exactly as I expected them to be from having watched the movie. So, Chris did a great job capturing them and their energy and their love for one another.

Here's Julie Matthews, the producer of the movie, along with Chris, flanking the poster for the movie that Ron and Betty put up alongside the Eggshelland display. Chris and Julie have been working on this movie off and on for five years.

The work is paying off, and we're now about an hour and a half away from the world premiere of Eggshelland. Everyone is excited and nervous, though I've been through this world premiere business before. Still, it's fun.

Look for another posting later tonight or tomorrow with details about the premiere and how it all came together. We're expecting a pretty good crowd, judging by ticket sales, so I'm hoping it'll be a great experience for Chris, Julie, the Manolio family and everyone else who comes.

More to come!
