SPEAKER_01 0:00

Good evening, everybody. It's DJ Jazzy Cat live on Catch Track Radio. Boy, do I have a nice surprise for you. Lots of great stuff has been going on here in Connecticut. That's right, a TV, film festival, and all kinds of good stuff. But right now, on ear, I want to welcome in Jane Owen, the PR person behind all this mastermind. Welcome in, Jane. How are you? Hi, I'm well. How are you? I am fantastic. I see that you guys are doing so much work over there. You've got a big celebration coming up, and you're gonna be honoring a lot of people. Want to tell us a little bit about that? And also Ed Cohen's gonna join us in just a little while as well.

SPEAKER_03 0:43

Oh my gosh, we love Ed.

SPEAKER_01 0:45

Yeah, he'll be with us. Yeah, so tell us a little bit about you, Jane.

SPEAKER_03 0:49

Yes, yeah. So, um, well, I'm a publicist, uh, been doing PR for many, many years now. Um, and I moved with my husband who's a filmmaker. We moved from LA to Connecticut a couple years ago, and we just love it so much. And we threw ourselves into the local arts community. Um, my husband joined the board of Theatre Works, which is an amazing theater group. I I uh volunteered with the children's hospital, and um I do PR for movies and and festivals around the world. I just got back, in fact, from the Cannes Film Festival uh just a couple weeks ago. Um, but we do film festivals all over the place, and um I was actually approached by Tanisha um and Shannon, who work for the city of Hartford, and they said they were planning this amazing festival called the Long Weekend or Long Weekend Hartford, and uh on the same weekend as July 4th, uh the celebration of America's 250th birthday, and um, would I be interested in coming on and co-producing it with them and helping them grow the film side of it? And I said yes, and we have had an amazing time. We've gone to Sundance together and did a huge event celebrating Connecticut movies and Connecticut filmmakers in uh at Sundance earlier in the year, and then we've been trying to bring in uh new programming uh around the films. So um I'm very excited to say that we'll be celebrating some of the best movies that Connecticut has made over the years. Um one of my favorites that is a big highlight of the festival is Mystic Pizza, which is a classic. And we're very lucky to have several of the actors from the movie as well as one of the producers of the movie coming to Hartford. Uh, and we're gonna be screening the movie as part of the festival, and then we'll have a Q ⁇ A right after the movie screens with the cast and the producer to talk about what it was like making the movie and and what it's been like the journey of the all the years of this film being such an iconic movie and and having it, you know, um launch the careers of people like Julia Roberts and what it was like working with her and you know, all that fun stuff. And um, we also have an incredible film panel uh that's gonna teach people about how to make movies, how to how to take an idea and make it into a movie, and then how once you have a movie, how do you sell that movie? How do you make money off of it? How do you get people to see it? So we have people coming in from all over the country who are experts in distribution, uh experts in producing, experts in all different parts of that process. Um and we also have Ileana Douglas, who's a famous movie star that lives here in Connecticut, and she actually wrote a book called Connecticut in the Movies, where she details a hundred movies that were shot and made in Connecticut. So we have a long history in Connecticut of filmmaking that we want to remind people of. So we're gonna be showing movies like Revolutionary Road and um all good things uh at the Wadsworth through from starting tomorrow and going through till the 5th of July. Um so we have, yeah, we have such a great film program. And then they also we also have music and art and food and all kinds of great things. Um at the at longweekendhotford.com if you want to see the full schedule.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Absolutely love it. I'm taking it all in. I am Gen X all the way. Definitely. You hit me, you hit the the nail on the head when you said Julia Roberts. You know, I remember. I've gone to Mystic. I have not gone to the P. I actually drove by, you know, where the film was actually created. Pretty cool stuff. But I my question to you has you have you tried the pizza?

SPEAKER_03 4:48

Um, you know, I have tried the pizza, and it's not the best pizza I've ever had in Connecticut, but you know, we're very spoiled here in Connecticut with uh having some of the best pizza in the world or the best pizza in the world.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

There you go. Um love it.

SPEAKER_03 5:03

Yeah, so yeah, but it but Mystic is beautiful and the film is a classic.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

Absolutely, absolutely, definitely. And some of it was actually taken in New Haven, right? Wasn't it too? There was Yeah, yeah, shot all over the place. Oh, what a classic. So you have to let us know on the inside. I guess I'll have to wait to be continued, as they say in the movies, right? Part two. Well, who will show up and who who's gonna be on that panel? I definitely looking forward to that.

SPEAKER_03 5:29

Yeah, then we have about five of the cars coming. It's a big deal.

SPEAKER_01 5:33

Okay, all right. Well, we're all in somehow. In like Flynn, they say, right? Great stuff. So you travel all around the world. Um, have any of the folks that you've been corresponding with overseas or you know, wherever you've gone, uh m they have come to the United States to do some of their directing here? Any people you know, mentioned wise?

SPEAKER_03 5:55

Yeah, no, I I do I do PF with my company. We do PF for a lot of movies and and filmmakers. Um I was just at the Tribeca Film Festival. In fact, um after the Cannes Film Festival, I went to Tribeca uh with a movie um called Only What We Carry, uh, which is which starred uh Quentin Tarantino, Simon Pegg, Charlotte Gainsburg, Lizzie McCalpine, and Sophia Batalla.

SPEAKER_01 6:23

Very nice.

SPEAKER_03 6:24

Um so we were there with all with with a lot of them. Quentin Tarantino is actually writing a play right now in London, um, so he couldn't join us, but everyone else was there and we had a great time. Um and the movie is wonderful. So uh I I have a really great job, I must say. I really love uh working in film PR and doing the the the uh these film festivals and things. You get to meet such interesting creative people. Um, but I will say, you know, there's a lot of great movies that are made here in Connecticut, and there's a lot of great filmmakers that come from Connecticut, and that's been a wonderful discovery of this film festival journey. Um and I also want people to know that for making a movie here in Connecticut is really um is really exciting because the the government really supports and the city really supports them, and there's actually a a huge tax credit that they give and a lot of incentives they give for people to film here. So if you're a Connecticut-based filmmaker, think about filming your movie here in Connecticut.

SPEAKER_01 7:28

Absolutely. And I've had the pleasure myself, I gotta tell you, Jane. I've been an extra in a couple different movies here in Connecticut. Yes, I have actually one of them, uh Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I can't name them all because you know they're under radar right now, if you as you know. They have to, you know, do their thing, plug away. Um, actually have sat down with several of the directors here in Connecticut, uh, Tony Capes and uh Joe McGee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I have actually been uh killed off of one of the movies. Um but I'm still but I'm still here. That's amazing.

SPEAKER_03 8:02

You see, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, it's exciting. It's a great it is exciting, and I'm I'm really excited about the long weekend hopper because we're g this is just the first festival we're gonna do set you know, every year we're gonna do this festival, not not on July 4th weekend. Um, it'll be in the fall next year, but we're gonna do uh we're gonna have submissions for festival um awards, we're gonna have different category awards, we're gonna do a jury, we're gonna have a whole, you know, proper film festival. Um this year was more about showcasing, you know, the the Connecticut history of filmmaking and just reminding people that this is a place where great movies are are have been made and can be made, and then from now on, it'll be a film festival which will bring in films from all over the country and all over the world. Um, and that'll be really fun too.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

I love to see the production, definitely. I tell you, technology. We're gonna go back a little bit on the technology. I have, like I said, I've seen you know the cameraman, um, the directors, the thoughts that go into everything, the takes, how many times it takes to make something. Um have you had have you had the pleasure of actually being in a movie yourself?

SPEAKER_03 9:19

Yes, actually I did. I was in a uh couple movies. Um I had a line in a movie when I was very young, um, and then I had another line in a movie uh a couple years ago. But just independent films. Um but who knows, you know, I keep telling my husband he's the he's the filmmaker of the family. I'm like, if there's ever like a little line you can just put me in.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

But the technology though, right? Watching all this stuff gross because I go Oh yeah, you know, camcorders have come a long way, right?

SPEAKER_03 9:48

Oh my gosh, yes. No, I mean I get to be on set a lot of times with the film the films that I do PR for, they bring me on right at the beginning to do announcements of who's gonna be in the movie, and then I get to go on set and do um behind the scenes interviews with a lot of the cast, and I'll be on set watching, you know, the the filmmaking work. And it really depends, I guess, on the filmmaker that you're working with, how technological they want to be. Some of them are using, you know, million lots of different camera angles and lots of different technol technology technological uh tricks, and then other ones just like to be very uh old-fashioned, you know. Sometimes you'll find a filmmaker's just, you know, they just want to shoot on one camera, or they just want to shoot with even with film, they go back, they don't even want to do digital. So it really depends on the filmmakers.

SPEAKER_01 10:44

Interesting. Uh, how about costumes? Okay, so I've seen some uh Faga War, if you will. I went out to see that with uh Mr. Ed Cohen, and and that was just wonderful, wonderful. They came from California, they debuted it here in Connecticut. Um, they went back to I think it was the 1800s, wartime, if you will. Um, I had actually asked uh the director himself, you know, where did you find the costumes? And they simply said they went on the tag sales sites, you know, and looked and then put it out there, and people were so compliant with um donating some of the outfits. I say costumes, you know. Uh how cool is that? I know in and in Hollywood they actually a seamstress will come in too, and they'll tighten it all up and get those gowns the way they need to be, or the guy's clothes, either or, right? So I find that very intriguing. I pay attention to the fine detail. I I'm sure you do too as well, right?

SPEAKER_03 11:37

Yeah, every part of the process is so artistic and creative. You know, I mean, I I was lucky enough to have a really good friend, Kelly, who um is a very well-known costume designer. She did um she did straight out of Compton. And and that was all about finding cost you know, um costumes or uh clothing from the authentic period of time that the movie was made, um was set in. Um and then there's other people that I know who are costume designers who make kind of fantastical costumes, um, like really elaborate ones that kind of you know look like that you're being you go on like uh what do they call it? Um on fire, or you know, like yeah, exactly, like like beautiful, crazy costumes like magicians' costumes, or you know, not not realistic basically was what I'm sure.

SPEAKER_01 12:34

Sure, yeah, they're taking their imagination.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

Yes, and that's a that's a completely different skill. Uh but they're but uh very artistic, both of those.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

All right. So schooling, a lot of folks have to go to school. What would you suggest if somebody was just starting out and they said, Listen, I need to do this. How how do I do this? You know, where do I go? Uh what would you recommend? Would you recommend schooling or just chaperoning somebody or just following, shadowing somebody?

SPEAKER_03 13:00

It's it's interesting. Like I think that there is a lot you can learn from school, but I think there's a lot of different ways to get that uh education. You can take online class classes now that are just as effective as in person and and also I think it is one of those things where the doing it really it teaches you so much more than the than the theory. Do you know what I mean? Sure, instead of the books, yeah. Yeah, exactly. And I think you know, whatever even if you go to school for if you go to film school, let's say my husband went to film school, you know, he he you know, you do all of these things in practice in in theory, and then when you get out there in the real world and you're on set and you're making a movie, it's a completely different ballgame. Awesome. You know, you learn so much more from doing. And and I think you feel more comfortable if you have a a conceptual idea of what you're doing. You have a you you're more comfortable if you've you know studied a little bit and you've understood the principles.

SPEAKER_02 14:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 14:01

But you're never really gonna learn until you do it. So I a lot of people just say, get out there with a camcorder, like you said. There you go. Like you can make movies. You can make movies now with your iPhone. I mean, it really is it is it is done. Like huge movies, like massive, huge budget movies have been made with iPhones.

SPEAKER_01 14:22

There you go. All right, we're gonna bring in Ed. I don't want to cut you off because you're beautiful and I love what you're saying. Up here he calls. Ed is calling in. So you want to hang on one second? We're gonna merge you guys. Okay, hold on. There we go. Jane, are you there?

SPEAKER_02 14:37

I'm here. Can you hear me?

SPEAKER_01 14:38

Yes, ma'am. Ed, are you there?

SPEAKER_00 14:41

I am here.

SPEAKER_01 14:42

Yay, we made magic happen. See that? It's like television. All right, so Ed, Jane, Jane, Ed, you guys know each other very well.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

Hello, Jane. How are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 14:54

Hi, Ed. I'm well, how are you?

SPEAKER_00 14:57

Excellent, thanks.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

So we've been chit-chatting about all the great stuff, such as uh, you know, obviously you guys got a big event coming up with the uh, you know, the film TV alliance and all that great stuff. And uh definitely I'm I'm really excited for everybody to be out there and check out what's going on, and it sounds like it's gonna be a fun time. You're gonna be going, Jane said all the way up until the 5th of July, Jane.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

Yes, yeah. It starts tomorrow and the first and then it goes all the way till the till Sunday.

SPEAKER_01 15:27

All right. And Ed, what are you gonna be doing out there?

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Uh I am on a panel and I'm gonna be uh actually kind of tangential with uh Ileana Douglas. She needed a ride up and back, so I'm gonna take care of those duties.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

So you're the Uber driver for this, huh?

SPEAKER_00 15:47

I am the Uber, yes.

SPEAKER_02 15:49

I didn't know that. That's fantastic.

SPEAKER_00 15:53

That just that just got arranged today. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:56

Oh, that's wonderful. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 15:58

Good stuff, good stuff. So, Ed, what is your takeaway with all of this going on? I know it's gonna be really, really busy. Uh, people are gonna be coming in from all over, Jane said, and uh definitely a connection with a lot of the movies that are here in Connecticut, which you've been part of for quite some time, too. You actually talked with the governor a while back too about getting some help with the alliance and everything, too, right?

SPEAKER_00 16:21

Well, yeah, I mean we haven't talked directly to the governor yet, but we've certainly been in touch with the legislature and it it's it's been uh a wild ride, but it's working.

SPEAKER_01 16:31

Yeah, right. Well, I see that it's working, and I see that you've been in several films too. You want to tell folks that are uh just listening in a little bit about yourself and what you do and how you bring it to the table as well.

SPEAKER_00 16:45

Well, yeah, I mean, right now, yeah, I'm actually in a couple of movies, and uh one of them is on Amazon Prime, it's called uh She Cries Murder. And that was my first role where I have two lines. I have lines, which is kind of fun, and I was kind of responsible for the closing credit music on that too. Yeah, which Elza and her team put together at my suggestion, and we got it in. It's closing credit music, so that's a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

And is Rob the Drummer on that one too? Is Rob the Drummer with that one?

SPEAKER_00 17:23

He is on that, yes. As a matter of fact, Rob was at the core of putting together the music on it.

SPEAKER_01 17:29

Very nice. So give us a little rundown. What some of you may have grown up to PBS television. Jane, are you familiar with Sesame Street?

SPEAKER_02 17:38

Oh, I love Sesame Street.

SPEAKER_01 17:39

Okay, so you do you know Rob? Have you met him cordially?

SPEAKER_02 17:43

I don't, I I don't. But I would love to.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

Yeah, he spent 25 years with Big Bird on Sesame Street. He's been on the show a couple different times, and Elsa is just simply uh boisterous with her voice, her vocals. Um, she's got a soul within her music as well, so they did a great job on that project.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

I I co-manage Elza with uh Jerry Greenberg, former president of Atlantic Records, over Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Cheap Trick, ABBA, ACDC, Foreigner, yes. And then Jerry left there and was handpicked by Michael Jackson to up MJJ music at Sony.

SPEAKER_01 18:28

Which is a really cool phenomenon. Yeah, I actually sat down with Jerry a couple years ago and uh he had a lot to say when it comes to Connecticut. So, Jane, what are your thoughts about uh you've got the music, I mean you've got the movies, you know, the production, all that great stuff is going on. I want to talk a little bit about the music. What are your thoughts now? Yeah, you know, like musicians alike, if you will. Like we were just talking about Elsa and Rob. They put stuff together. What's your takeaway with it when it comes to composing music and bringing things such as, you know, even if it's orchestra or any of that great stuff that goes along with it with music theory?

SPEAKER_03 19:05

Oh wow, yeah. I mean music and movies have always been hand in hand, you know. You can't you can it a movie isn't complete until the music is scored, you know, and a music can completely change a movie compl completely. Like you can be watching one movie and watch a completely different movie with a different score, you know. Um but we have a huge and and not to always bring it back to Long Week in Hartford, but we do have a a huge music component to the festival. Um I know la there's a part of it that's um that's we've partnered with Bonanza, which has been a long-standing music festival um that happens around this time that we have uh just expanded and brought under the umbrella of Long Weekend. Um there's also different places around Hartford that are having live music over this five-day period. No, music is so important and it's such a huge part of the community in Connecticut and the history of Hartford. Um, that obviously we had to make it a huge part of the festival.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

That's awesome. Yeah, it changes your mood, right? So one minute you'll be watching something that's really scary, such as Freddie Kruger, boom, boom, boom, you know what I mean? I'm a Halloween junkie, so I'll refer back to Freddie Kruger. But and then you got the romanticness, and then you get the in you know, intenseness and where's going on and who's here, what's there.

SPEAKER_03 20:30

But that's really absolutely you could you could just be watching a a regular scene of two people talking and it doesn't feel like anything with and then suddenly you put like a scary music background and and suddenly you're you you know you know you're terrified. And it's just the change in the music and it changes the whole temperature and tone of the of what you're watching.

SPEAKER_01 20:52

I love it. I think it's wonderful what you guys are doing. Um, you know, do you want to add anything else, Ed? And then we'll go back to Jane, because I I I want to keep you all day long. You guys are amazing.

SPEAKER_00 21:05

Well, uh yeah, I couldn't agree with it more. Uh you hit it right on the head, Jane, as far as you know, the music role in a film. It's 50% of the movie.

SPEAKER_01 21:16

Absolutely. And Jane. Absolutely. Yeah, so Jane.

SPEAKER_00 21:21

I manage a major composer who, you know, Max Carlo, who's done uh so far uh sixty, I guess sixty-five movies, and he's working on two more right now. And it's amazing the stuff that comes out. He's kind of the era character, John Williams.

SPEAKER_01 21:42

There you go. That's great stuff too. I feel like I'm stepping back in time with you guys too, and then bringing it to the millennium ish, if you will. You know, from like you said, from older to newer. Uh Jane, do you have a favorite movie that you've ever watched? I know it's very broad, but do you have a favorite movie that's That resonates with you.

SPEAKER_03 22:03

Um, well, I'm kind of an old school person. I I grew up watching all these old oldie movies with my parents, and so one of my favorite all-time movies is uh is a Catherine Hepburn movie called Bringing Up Baby. That's a black and white comedy um that probably not a lot of people listening has ever heard of.

SPEAKER_01 22:25

I've heard of An I've Anne Golden Pond. I know who she is from there.

SPEAKER_03 22:30

She she was from Connecticut too. She was from Old Saybrook.

SPEAKER_01 22:33

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 22:34

And um and she was fabulous, fabulous, really funny. That's a great old movie if you want to watch something just genuinely funny and witty from a different era. Um, it's one of my favorites. But I mean I love all kinds of movies. I I um you know, old movies, new movies. I I just love them. That's why I work in the film industry.

SPEAKER_01 22:56

You get to see it all. I love it. I definitely love it. So, Ed, how about you? Do you have a favorite? You know, they say that two musicians, what's your favorite genre? Do you have a favorite movie that you've ever partaken in?

SPEAKER_00 23:08

Absolutely young Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_01 23:11

Oh, he likes the creepy.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

It's just one of the funniest films I've ever seen. That, that, and then a close second is uh oh, what was it called? Um bear with me a second. Rat Race.

SPEAKER_01 23:29

Rat Race, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_00 23:32

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 23:32

No, I've never heard of that one.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Uh they have everybody including Mr. Bean in it.

SPEAKER_01 23:38

Oh, Mr. Bean, he's still around.

SPEAKER_00 23:40

Oh yeah, and Wookiee Goldberg's in it, and the guy the guy from uh was that incredible comedy team in uh England.

SPEAKER_01 23:54

Are you talking about uh Benny Hill?

SPEAKER_00 23:56

No, no, the the other one.

SPEAKER_03 23:57

I mean these guys like like the faulty toss yeah yeah like John Cleese and Monty Python.

SPEAKER_01 24:06

Monty Python. I think every and I speak it for all the guys, all the males love Monty Python.

SPEAKER_00 24:14

Not dead yet.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

No, he's not, and they're in that big hole. Yep, yep. I grew up with a lot of that stuff. Yeah, my dad used to watch Benny Hill back in the day, and I don't know where he got his humor from, but I guess he liked it, so I can still remember the skit that he used to say, and I will not sing because I do not I told you that before, Ed. I do not have a voice for singing, I have a voice for radio. Uh Jane, Jane, any final thoughts and you want to give the direct address? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:43

Um yeah, so the the the festival's happening all over Hartford, but the the main stuff uh for the film part is happening um at the Wadsworth and also Hartford House, which is um right there on uh uh one Hartford, I think it's one Hartford place. I don't know. The advert uh the address is at the long weekend.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

One One Gold Street.

SPEAKER_03 25:10

Um but I will say that you know Ed is gonna be one of our participants in a really informative panel that's happening on the second at Hartford House, um, with a number of really big heavy hitters from across the industry of movies, including Ileana Douglas, the really famous movie star that's coming up to tell us all about her book, Connecticut and the Movies, but also to be on this panel and and uh introduce Mystic Peter. And um and the panel is gonna teach people from you know all the different S aspects of making a movie and getting it out there into the world. And I think, you know, it's a really interesting thing to come and listen to and and uh ask questions at, especially if you you or any of your loved ones have ever thought about you know getting into the film industry or even if you're just having uh just a general interest in like how does it all work and how do people find movies and get them made and how how do they, once they've made them, how do they get them seen by the public and how do they make money off of them? And it's a lot of things that you know if you aren't involved in the movie industry or you haven't been around the movie industry, it just can seem like such a mystery. But it's once you can hear about how it works, um, I think it really makes it more accessible and more, you know, you feel like, oh yeah, that makes sense. I could I could do that. And I think that it opens up a lot of doors. So, you know, if you know of somebody who has a script they've always wanted to have made or has a passion for movies that might be interested in finding out how it all works, then this is a really amazing opportunity to ask people directly who've been doing it for years and years and years successfully, like how does it all work?

SPEAKER_01 26:57

And all of these new, you know, up-and-coming people, folks, if you will, Jane, I think it's great information. Definitely. Um, if anybody wanted to contact you, are they allowed to do that, Jane? They wanted to contact you directly. Would you be able to provide myself? Yeah, of course.
