Baz Luhrmann’s journey into making the project began on a seach for rumored unseen footage during the making of his 2002 feature Elvis. “I had researchers go into the Warner Bros. film vaults burined in underground salt mines in Kansas and, to the astonishment of all, we uncovered 69 boxes (59 hours) of film negative that hadn’t been seen,” said Luhrmann in his Director’s Statement.

Navy veteran Jared Shoemaker is featured tonight on The Voice: Battle of Champions for a Knockouts performance with fellow Team Adam artist Jaali Boyd. Shoemaker talked to Deepest Dream about the lessons he learned on the program and he also delivered some insight on his band Marshull. Full interview is in the post!

One huge lesson Jared Shoemaker received from The Voice: Battle of Champions centers on effectively utilizing his recording studio time.

”Artistically, I play live for hours and hours every night, but when you spend so much time focusing on one song, getting each and every note each and every run just as perfect as you can, that made me rethink singing,” said Shoemaker. “It really helped me as far as getting in the studio. I don’t just wing it now. I really practice when I’m breathing. And I practice each and every note so that when I get to the studio, it’s not a big guessing game. It’s that’s kind pressure of being onThe Voice taught me; it was to really focus on what you’re doing. And don’t take any note for granted. Every note needs to be calculated.”

Another highpoint for Shoemaker on The Voice: Battle of Champions was his battles performance with Drew Russell. “I think we did a great job,” said Shoemaker. “We put the hours in, and I knew it was gonna be good. But then after seeng it in on TV, I’ve been telling everybody, that was probably the most proud musical moment I’ve had. All the stars aligned. It was just a really good performance.”

Shoemaker also talks about Marshull’s album Long Time Coming, which you can listen to below (give the track “Leviticus” a shot!):

“It’s been awesome because a lot of people that have supported me said ‘Hey, you need to go on The Voice,’ said Shoemaker. “I’ve heard that a million times, and then I finally did it, and everybody’s just super excited, if not more excited about it than I was. People are just very proud to see where I was and where I’ve come from. To have it all come to fruition is just kind of a dream come true.”

Catch Jared Shoemaker tonight on The Voice: Battle of Champions (9/8c) with the new episode streaming the next day on Peacock.

Gene Gallerano And William Pisciotta Discuss Soundstage And Anamorphic Aesthetic of ‘The Yeti’

TheYeti4 — Brittany Allen and Jim Cummings in "The Yeti" - Well Go USA

The Yeti, a creature feature directed by Gene Gallerano and William Pisciotta, delivers visual immersion from a grounded place. The filmmakers love the expansive, Panavision look of such movies as Battle of the Bulge and It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and that visual depth is evident in their feature. Gallerano and Pisciotta talked to Deepest Dream about their ambitious tale which hits AMC Theaters April 4th and 8th and arrives on Digital April 10.

The Yeti – Well Go USA

Merriell Sunday Sr. (Corbin Bernsen) and explorer Hollis Bannister (William Sadler) have gone missing in Alaska. A brave team, which includes Hollis’ daughter Ellie (Brittany Allen), embark on a rescue mission which is derailed thanks to a monster in the wilderness.

If you’re looking for a CGI, green screen driven adventure, you’ve come to the wrong place. Most of The Yeti was filmed on a soundstage, and practical effects and sets were the name of the game.

William Sadler in “The Yeti” – Well Go USA

“We wanted to build this movie like The Revenant in a box,” said Gene Gallerano, who also stars as one of the expedition members. “We call ourseves the backyard J.J. Abrams, where we’re going for these massive films and with scope and just cinematic vision to the max. And we’re doing it sometimes in backyards that we’ve built sets – sometimes in our basements. I built a set in my mom’s attic in Texas.”

As for the visuals, William Pisciotta wanted to create “large frames” where all the characters are in it, giving The Yeti a CinemaScope aesthetic. “Nowadays I feel like everything’s really shallow, depth of field,” said Pisciotta. “It’s like super close. We tried to do it (as many of the scenes) like paintings as possible. We wanted all the characters there – very Renaissance-esque.”

***CinemAddicts host Eric Holmes talks to Pisciotta and Gallerano on our latest episode:

Now playing in theaters, A Great Awakening focuses on the profound friendship between Benjamin Franklin (John Paul Sneed) and Reverence George Whitefield (Jonathan Blair). Director/writer Joshua Enck talked to Deepest Dream about his 129-minute feature and describes why he wanted to bring an epic feel to his narrative.

Sight & Sound Films / Roadside Attractions

Although A Great Awakening’s target audience will be cinephiles who love faith based features, the movie also has a universal appeal. “We didn’t want to force an agenday down anybody’s throat,” said Joshua Enck. “Or anything that would prove or disprove the faith of our Founding Fathers. We wanted to tell a true story that actually happened in history and that made a major impact on this nation. Nobday can deny the impact the first great awakening had on this nation, and nobdy can deny their incredible, unlikely friendship. We believe only by providence that those two men were brought together to then spark what has become the first great awakening.”

Check out my review of A Great Awakening on this week’s CinemAddicts podcast:

The power of Reverend George Whitefield’s voice and his overall passion are spotlighted in A Great Awakening, and Enck wanted to put that presence amdist a big canvas. “We wanted a film that felt immersive and had a big scope not just in content, but literal scope,” added Enck. “Being out on the water with a big ship, or being in a coalfield or whatever it might be. This is a big story and we didn’t want people to feel claustrophobic and have it be a talking heads film.”

If you are looking for an epic film playing in your local theater this weekend, A Great Awakening might be up your alley. Share your thoughts on the movie in the comments!

Houston Kelly had a great run on The Voice: Battle of Champions as part of Team Kelly. Starting off on the Blinds with a standout performance of Marc Cohn’s “Walking in Memphis,” Kelly went on to the Battles with Tia Durant and advanced to the Knockouts with JW Griffin. Kelly, a Memphis native and current student at University of Tennesse at Martin, talked to Deepest Dream about his time on the show and he also discussed his album Right Here, Right Now.

Kelly Clarkson described Houston Kelly as a “solid country singer” and John Legend complimented the natural “power” behind Kelly’s voice. Though Kelly has received his share of love thanks to his performances, he remains steady through it all.

“One of the things that I learned and I realized – my worth is not grounded in what I do on a stage,” said Kelly. “I follow Jesus and my worth comes from him and what he’s done for me, not any singing ability that I have or anything like that.”

“That’s been one of the things that after my Blind (audition) aired on TV, there was a momentary high and it was really cool,” added Kelly. “And I was surrounded by friends and family. But then life was regular. Nothing changed. I’m still Houston. Nothing’s different. That was one of the things I didn’t expect, but in a way I knew it was coming. So in reflection of what was happening there, it really made me think about what do I put my identity in and how am I gonna portray that identity as I move forward.”

For a deeper insight into Kelly’s musicianship and songwriting, check out his debut album Right Here, Right Now which he discussed in detail during the interview.

“I’m really proud of (Right Here, Right Now),” said Kelly. “Part of the reason I wanted to go ahead and release that was because I knew of some upcoming opportunities and I said if people are gonna have opportunity to maybe hear me, I want ’em to hear something fresh,” said Kelly. “And I want ’em to be able to hear something that I’m proud of. Something that I wanna play at shows. And so the band and I – we got together and some of the songs are co-written.”

“One of my good friends, Ella Gibson, she wrote with me on a few of them. I will vomit words out when it comes to songwriting. And that’s something that she sat down and I remember her telling me,” said Kelly. “She said, ‘Houston, does rhyme scheme mean anything to you?’ And we all busted out laughing and because she was right. So I’ve learned a lot from her.

Listen to “Messages in Heaven,” a song Kelly wrote in tribute to his late grandfather:

That’s where Supergirl and Lobo (Jason Momoa) come in, as they (according to the plot summary) embark “on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.”

Natasha Blaine takes on fellow Team Legend member Syd Millevoi on tonight’s The Voice: Battle of Champions for the Knockouts. During the interview, Blaine talked about how jazz, which she studied at Vanderbilt University, has shaped her artistry. She also talked about her flourishing music career and how it’s important to be your own “biggest fan.” Check out the full interview below!

THE VOICE — “The Knockouts Premiere” Episode 2906 — Pictured: Natasha Blaine — (Photo by: Casey Durkin/NBC)

“Pursuing a career in music is extremely hard to do if you don’t have that core belief in your own value,” said Natasha Blaine, who admitted that ‘trial and error’ is part of solidifying that self-belief. “At the end of the day, you are the one who’s deciding to put yourself out there and create more music. “It’s great if other people valiidate that, but at the end of the day, it’s most important for that validation to come from within.”

Check out Blaine’s latest single “Own The Way (Pull The Thread),” which she described in the interview as a personal song:

Blaine elaborated on what she learned from The Voice: Battle of Champions. “The experience taught me so many things,” said Blaine. “But I think the main takeaway was how unique and specific my identity as an artist is. And it really showed, I think, throughout the different performances that I performed. I have a very unique and specific vision for who I am as an artist. This experience showed me that what I have is a really specific niche of music which is totally marketable and opeople are responding to it.”

Bay Simpson battles it out tonight with fellow Team Adam member Alexia Jayy on The Voice: Battle of Champions. Simpson talked to Deepest Dream about his experience on the show and he also shares the keys to his songwriting and being a frontman. Full interview with Simpson is in our post!

THE VOICE — “The Knockouts Premiere” Episode 2906 — Pictured: Bay Simpson — (Photo by: Casey Durkin/NBC)

Along with pursuing his solo career, Bay Simpson is also a member of a band called The Family (which features his own loved ones). “Everybody in my family is a really awesome musician, so we decided to just start a group and put out music,” said Simpson. “But mainly locked in on my solo thing at the moment. I still play with a backing band and it’s always a bit of a challenge – nobody cares about your stuff as much as you do.”

Part of being a frontman, from Simpson’s perspective, is to be supportive of his bandmates and he admits he can be a pretty “strict band leader.” “I try to just let the guys know that I care about them and that they’re doing a good job as much as I can, and hope that they respect the music.”

One of the best compliments of this season was when John Legend described Bay Simpson’s voice as “weird,” which Simpson took as a “cool compliment.” “I don’t want to sound like everybody else,” said Simpson. “I want to be identifiable. That’s the main thing for me – the best thing you can be is unique.”

Speaking of unique, check out the Bay Simpson single “Where I Do I Go From Her.”

Full interview with Bay Simpson, as he also reflects on his songwriting, is below:
