TITLE:  WHY OLD TIME
STATUS:  In production; completion scheduled for Winter 08

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 months and we'll be talking to people who embrace 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 here for more information or contact executive producer Chris Valluzzo if you would like to contribute.

   

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.
