Speed dating is a trendy and modern concept. It has recently entered our lives and has become a great alternative to both dating websites and casual street encounters. The principle of such an event is simple: find an equal number of single men and women, rent a restaurant hall for their meeting, and give each participant five minutes to talk so that everyone interacts with all the members of the opposite sex. For such an event came 10 elegant but slightly middle-aged single women. They were craving new connections, to flirt a little, and maybe even start something serious… but their 10 male counterparts never showed up! While these adventure-seeking beauties are left wondering why their potential soulmates vanished, the organizers must do their best to navigate this delicate situation.

At the heart of the film is Antonello's personal story, his stubbornness in remaining firmly attached to his homeland despite the myriad challenges of everyday life. However, incivility, boredom, social depression, and love eventually spur him to leave in search of something new and a place where "people still look up to the sky." The narrative begins with his last day in his hometown, amid farewells to friends, memories of his life, and the story of the last 40 years of Irpinia, narrated by the protagonist and illustrated by archive footage and interviews on the topic of emigration. Antonello was born in 1981, the day of the assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square. His grandmother had always told him since he was a child, "One day you will become Pope."

"As the Earth Turns" (Unreleased 1938 film, available for the first time in 80 years!) Current list of Festivals, Awards and Nominations: http://edhartmanmusic.com/news/update:__festival_and_winners_list_as_the_earth_turns/ (Note: 5.1 Surround available for theatrical showing) In 1937, in Seattle, a twenty-year old budding filmmaker using his own equipment, had already created 58 plays and 9 never released, award-winning films. This director would go on to work for Disney Studios, and direct and edit a 1950 Academy Award Documentary. Richard H. Lyford’s films have developed a following among film-historians, since his early “amateur” films are some of the first “indie” films ever created outside of Hollywood. Lyford experimented with special effects, and models, and was becoming an excellent director. His final, and most challenging, film of this era was “As the Earth Turns”, his screenplay based on "The Man Who Rocked the Earth" by Arthur Train and Robert Williams Wood, 1915.. It was filmed in the Pacific Northwest, in and around Seattle. “As the Earth Turns”, is presented for the first time after 80 years of development! To finish his vision, a professionally mixed orchestral soundtrack, by NW film composer, Ed Hartman has been added to the presentation. “As the Earth Turns” is a 45 minute, sci-fi film that foresaw WWII, future-technology, climate change, and the extreme need for peace, as the world was drifting back into world war again. The main character, “PAX” (“Peace” in Latin), is played by Lyford, himself, a scientist who desperately wants peace. He uses climate changing science to keep mankind from war. The lead actors are both male and female. The lead actress, Barbara Berger (AKA Barbara Berjer) portrays a hard working newspaper reporter. Her strong character, “Julie Weston” leads the hunt for the villain all the way to the end of the film. Berger had a long career on Broadway and television (ironically including “As the World Turns”). The acting is dramatic, professional and realistic. Lyford used early homemade FX including controlled dynamite explosions and miniature models similar to those used in “Flash Gordon” (1936 Serial). His make-up work was excellent (he loved Lugosi and horror films) and his framing of the picture is mature and developed. Lyford was very capable of directing his acting troupe, as well. A legendary location in Seattle, “Gasworks” was used for PAX’s lair. The film has similar themes to “Things to Come”(1936), “In Like Flint” (1967), and even a little “Austin Powers” (1997). Some of the dialogue seems to come out of the TV series “Star Trek” (1966), and even “Dr. Strangelove”(1964). The film was shot in B&W, but the last scene was shot color for dramatic purpose, foreshadowing “Wizard of Oz” in 1939.  “As the Earth Turns” is an example of a true “indie” film, completely shot outside of Hollywood. It is an amazing educational film for any filmmaker to learn from. This filmmaking had no sophisticated technology available. It has multiple-exposure sequences (including a very professional title sequence), “day for night” shooting, simple transitions, and intense editing between live action and miniature model sequences. Richard Lyford did his best with very limited resources. This film is a great lesson for anyone in media creation, today.
