UP IN THE AIR: THE STORY OF BOONAH THE TREE-CLIMBING FROG

Conceived and directed by Amon Miyamoto, composed by Tony-winner Henry Krieger (DREAMGIRLS), with book and lyrics by Tony-winner Bill Russell (SIDESHOW), UP IN THE AIR premiered at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in February 2008.

Based on one of the most beloved novels of the venerated Japanese author, Mizukami Tsutomu, UP IN THE AIR is a wickedly funny fable about a frog who, believing his friends and family are "stuck in the mud," leaves his local pond to climb the tall tree that shades the pond.

Boonah feels he has found "heaven on earth" on the treetop – until he realizes it is the aerie of a hawk. In the life-and-death adventures that follow, Boonah encounters a variety of similarly unlucky creatures and witnesses the gamut of behavior from cowardice to valor, from selfishness to grace – and he returns to his pond with a new, heartfelt understanding of what a gift it is to be alive.

YOU THINK YOU REALLY KNOW ME: THE GARY WILSON STORY

Gary Wilson

more

To be released this June from Plexifilm, the award-winning film and the classic album that inspired it all!

In 1977, Gary Wilson recorded his bizarrely brilliant album, YOU THINK YOU REALLY KNOW ME. In performance, he played his jazz/rock/sound-collage masterpieces while clad in just his underwear, or wrapped in duct tape, writhing on stage and destroying female mannequins. Then, suddenly, he simply vanished - leaving friends and fans mystified. This documentary explores the life, disappearance and re-birth of a funny and fierce American original.

“Indie-rock enthusiasts will find much to appreciate. Gary Wilson and the Blind Dates, as his band was known, do for used-record stores what R. Crumb and Harvey Pekar do for used comic-book stores.”
- The New York Times

“A film that is as informative, complete, and seductive as a great Ken Burns work.”
