Horse Archer Productions is pleased to announce a full
length
documentary called Why Old Time?
which will explore the beauty and art of Old Time music and attempt to
explain why this particular type of roots music holds such power. Filming will run through the summer

the past and the future in the same breath, traveling to festivals to
capture the experience of Old Time music in the 21st Century. We
have begun filming, but we are still looking for musicians, historians and
devoted fans to appear in the film, so click

TITLE:
VIRGINIA CREEPERS: THE HORROR HOST TRADITION OF THE OLD DOMINION
STATUS:
Pre-production; completion scheduled for August 08
In 1970, the tennis-shoed foot of The
Bowman Body draped itself over a plywood coffin at 11:30 one Saturday
night on WRIC in Richmond, thus beginning a tradition of late night horror
hosting in the Commonwealth. Since then, on the airwaves and
internet, Virginia's horror hosts have been breaking ground and making
things that go bump in the night a little more manageable. We'll go
back to the days when local television was king and into the future with
the new breed of Virginia Creepers. Filming is underway through the
summer. To get more information click
here and please contact executive
producer
Sean Kotz
to take part in this film.

TITLE:
THE HENRY REED LEGACY
STATUS:
In production; completion scheduled for Summer 08
From the early 1920s until his death in
1968, Henry Reed performed and taught from his home a style of music
called "Old Time," a form he had inherited from an oral tradition himself.
The origins of Old Time can be traced directly through Henry, who
preserved it and put his own unique stamp on it. All the while, he
remained a simple man, working at the local power plant, unionizing
workers for fair treatment, and farming in between. Could he ever
have imagined that today, people all over the world would refer to "Henry
Reed tunes" or that a Henry Reed festival would be held each June in Giles
County?

Henry Reed scholar, Alan Jabour, demonstrates the unique style of a Henry
Reed song at the Henry Reed Festival. |

TITLE:
UT PROSIM: VIRGINIA TECH'S CORPS OF CADETS
STATUS:
In production; completion scheduled for Fall 09
Virginia Tech's Corps of Cadets traces its
origin right back to VT's first student, Addison Caldwell, who marched 26
miles to enroll in 1872. Today, each year, every cadet takes place
in a march mirroring that first journey to Blacksburg, but this is just
one of dozens of unique traditions that make the Corps of Cadets what it
is. The cadet experience is has generated more decorated soldiers
than any other institution besides West Point. This film is a look
inside the world of the VT cadet as well as a historical overview of the
Corps and its traditions.
