Camera for Hire
When making arrangements to meet with Heidi Spencer, the filmmaker asked, “Wanna grab a beer?” Not having to be asked twice, I agreed to meet her at Paddy’s Pub, which showed movies on a huge screen behind us. As we sipped our pints of Guinness and smoked her American Spirits, Spencer talked about how she always wanted to put her music into films. After getting a C+ in her first film class, she dropped out of film school and traveled all over the country. After “hitting the end of the road so many times” at the age of 25, she decided to start over. She graduated with a BFA in Film at UWM this past December with high honors, and took first place in the Student Film Festival a couple years ago.

The Long & The Shorts
Rewind. From July 27-28, competing filmmakers will make a video in 24 hours The site is the Milwaukee Art Museum, from 10:30 AM to 10:30 AM on the aforementioned dates. No need to bring a shower cap. The video challenge will be juried and screened the following day at MAM. On August 25, the Milwaukee International Film Festival will screen 80 minutes of short films from their 2004 festival. Outdoors, weather permitting…on MAM’s grassy knoll. It’s lakeside and August, so tote bug spray, or a giant swatter. Whatever.

Old School
Fred Stonehouse is the personification of old school — literally. After recently purchasing the former St. Augustin school building, he set up his studio in one of its huge classrooms. He has created an interesting melange — massive paintings depicting weeping black heads attached to snake-like bodies abutting blackboards and eye wash stations. This juxtaposition captures the approach of Milwaukee’s internationally renowned (and often shamelessly imitated) painter. Many of his works depict humans and/or animals experiencing some type of pain or suffering, and yet he is an all-American dad who coaches his kids’ sports teams.
