This month we kicked off our social networking campaign for our award winning short screenplay, “Too Much Bupkis”.  Our social media premiere was on July 3rd, appropriately enough, Mr. George M. Cohan’s Birthday, with additional posts for Independence Day, (Bupkis is a patriot!):

And, speaking of award winning, we found out that we were a Finalist in the New York City International  Screenplay Awards competition, and currently a Quarterfinalist in the HollyShorts Screenplay competition…wish us luck!

We premiered new features on Instagram, Facebook and Youtube, such as “Joke of the Day”, and “Yiddish Lesson”, as seen below, once again featuring our Brand Ambassador, “Li’l Bupkis”:

Last month I created a video audition for Aclam Guitars’s Dr. Robert giveaway, their cool new guitar/bass pedal, that produces sounds specifically engineered for The Beatles’s “Revolver” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” records.  What’s more, Klaus Voormann drew his version of the Dr. Robert character in the style of his iconic “Revolver” album cover drawings on said pedal, and autographed the giveaway winner!

The rules were to produce a video for Instagram, less than a minute long, performing a song from one of these two seminal albums, with emphasis on creativity and showing how big a fan you are.

Though I did not win, I received lovely, positive feedback from the good people at Aclam, and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience…here’s the submission…enjoy!

P.S.  I shared my work (as they used to say in my dreaded math class), below.

Long ago I was in a band called Splat!  In 1994, we recorded a three song demo, of which I wrote two.  One of these was about Harvard professor Lani Guinier, and my reaction to her withdrawal by President Clinton from Congressional consideration as nominee for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in 1993.  I recall feeling she’d been treated unfairly by our bloviating politicians.  Whether I was right, who knows?  But I was glad to get this song out of it…lyrics below…enjoy!
