- This vibrant concert film/documentary includes three years of highlights from the intimate Vermont music and arts festival (2004-2006). Performers include: Gogol Bordello, Cyro Baptista and Beat the Donkey, Hieroglyphics, Toubab Krewe, The Spam Allstars, The Devil Makes Three, Oteil Burbridge and the Peacemakers and many others. The film carries you on a colorful journey through a seamless weekend at the locally celebrated festival and features fan interviews, coverage of festival activities and events, behind the scenes footage, and 21 eclectic performances that took N.E.K.M.F audiences by storm year after year. Set against a backdrop of Northern Vermont's rolling green mountains on the 90-acre Chilly Ranch that is home to the festival site, the film is framed by breathtaking scenery. Giant dancing puppets tower over concert audiences and fire-twirlers light up the brisk night sky as one great band performs after another, each concert poles apart from the next. From hip-hop to folk, bluegrass to rock and funk, a score of genres are represented by the acts that took to the N.E.K.M.F stage and shined. Many of the fans in attendance at the Vermont event have attested to an experience unlike any other concert festival. As said by festival site owner Bill Pearce at the close of the film, This is one of the places that the revolution starts.
- This documentary takes you on a journey with the band Phish on their farewell tour through New England in August, 2004. Some 70,000 fans came out from all corners of the country, determined to witness the band's closing shows in Northern Vermont, and they would get there at any cost. Phish's followers are some of the most dedicated, passionate and relentlessly die hard music fans in the world. "We Enjoy Yourself" provides a rare window into what it was like for these fans to come together, for what could have been one last time, to celebrate their favorite musicians, and to express their overwhelming gratitude for years of unforgettable experiences on the road. Concertgoers are traced hiking into the Coventry, Vermont site on foot from as far as 20 miles away after having been forbidden entrance by state troopers due to overwhelming weather conditions. Faced with the decision to turn back after sitting in up to 50 hours of traffic, thousands of fans rather chose to abandon their cars on the interstate and proudly walked toward the concert. Filled with emotionally candid interviews, "We Enjoy Yourself" is a testament to Phish fans' unwavering dedication to and absolute love for the band and their music. The film's soundtrack was drafted from the last five shows the band played on their farewell tour, capturing the raw excitement and musical expression of these momentous final days.
- A documentary about Grammy Award winner and Pulitzer Prize nominated composer and conductor Joel Thome, who collaborated extensively with rock icon Frank Zappa, arranging all of the eccentric composer's music for rock band and orchestra, and also composed for Steve Vai and Pablo Picasso. In 1991 Thome suffered a debilitating stroke and was paralyzed on the left side of his body, but by using music as a resource for healing, he was able to return to the stage with a new project, his graphically notated mandala scores. With performance by The Scorchio Quartet, and animated mandala artwork by abstract painter Harry C. Doolittle, Inside The Perfect Circle is a feast for the senses.
