"Guess Who Killed My Sister" Northwestern premiere

Lane will be one of the directors screening their movies Friday night. An insane amount of work went into his, and the other films it's great that they will get to show their work to a large audience. I've seen lane's film multiple times at each stage, but I'm looking forward to watching it on the big screen, and seeing all the other films.

WAVE Productions, Presents their first Director Festival!

UPDATE 02/14/2015

The show was a smashing success, this is not coming from just a biased dad, it was also the assessment of several biased parents, and a collection of Lane's friends that came in from Chicago to see the show.

Brock's family drove in from Indiana to see the show, and it was nice to spend a while talking to them. 

Brock did a fantastic job putting together a very fast moving show, and they did an amazing job gathering actors. I mean these people had to play 10 parts each, and made it look easy. The comedy worked, which is tricky since the show was written in 1971 and points of reference change. It was Brock's show, but Lane was a force behind the throne, designing and running lights, Art design, coordinating costumes.

WAVE Productions is a self-supporting, not-for-profit student theatre company operating primarily on Northwestern University's Evanston Campus. 

WAVE Productions ambition is to connect the Northwestern campus and surrounding communities through a common appreciation of the power of theatre. WAVE seeks to foster a new generation of both artists and audiences who recognize the stage as a way to communicate stories that challenge, entertain, provoke dialog, and perhaps even open doors to a brighter future. 

WAVE is dedicated to accomplishing these goals, while maintaining a safe, supportive environment in which creativity can flourish, and diversity, is embraced. We reject the notion that there is but one way to tell a story, WAVE would rather encourage our students explore, and develop their own voice.

  

It is with these goals in mind, that WAVE Productions Presents their first Director Festival!

The event displays three dynamically different thirty minute shows, intermingling in one small room comedy, absurdism, drama, and how to deal with life's constant obstacles.

OK, as you guessed, I have not started a new career promoting random,not-for-profit student theatre companies. Yes Lane has a connection to this performance. His roommate, and good friend, Brock Hall, is directing the comedy, "Adaptation," and Lane is going to be holding the jobs of lighting director, Art design, and even tasked with coordinating costumes. I can't speak for the other two works, though I'm sure they are quite good; "Adaptation" is a very funny short play by Elaine May. She is a director, screenwriter and actress. best known for comedy routines with Mike Nichols.

Lane Moving off to Northwestern

We knew the day was coming. We knew the day would arrive, when an ultrasound showed us a healthy looking fetus, and confirmed an estimated delivery-day.  There was never a point when we pondered the possibility that Lane would not attend college. With Northwestern on the quarter system we actually had an additional 20 plus days, just over 480 hours, hearing friends tell stories and post pictures of them packing, delivering, and then tearfully waving goodbye to their child..  

All this points to my complete lack of justification for being caught off-guard by Monday the 15th, or as I refer to it, "Black Monday." Don't get me wrong, I'm excited that at college, he is going to learn, grow and make many new friends. Lane just called me and told me about the courses he has selected, and I'm delighted by the prospect of him getting to take such an interesting collection of classes. It's just that him heading off to the dorm qualifies as a major event, and in our home, events are documented through writing but also at 24 frames per second.

In an ideal world I would have lugged around at least a tripod (a dolly and track would have been quite pretentious, particularly at a school  with a film department). I also am trying to force two short movies into one, something that is artistically flawed, but OK, since the idea was to document the first 24 hours.
