- Rather than waste the funds and logistical skill it took to film the movie "Bix" in Davenport, Iowa, Italian filmmaker Pupi Avati wrote and produced this unassuming English-language melodrama to make full use of their unusual location.

Now that the old coot is dead and he is the sole heir, Irving has come back to town determined to right past wrongs, and see to it that the girl's family benefits from his legacy. The young man soon gets obsessed by the house and the past of his dad... "Dove Comincia la Notte" is a film in the tradition of overtly subtle horror films like the beautiful "Un Sussurro nel Buio" from 1976, where no manifestation of the supernatural ever happens, yet the main characters are so haunted by a past event that they won't be able to escape in the end.

- Documentary of the life and music of Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke, considered to be the greatest jazz cornet player. Dead at 28 and still a legend. He and Louis Armstrong pioneered the playing of jazz solos. When it was made in 1981 there was no known video of Bix playing. But the documentary surmounted that limitation with the skillful use of music recordings, period stills and movies, Hopper paintings, and extensive interviews with musicians that played with him (e.g., Louis Armstrong, Artie Shaw, Hoagy Carmichael, and many others). Since that time a few seconds of video of Bix playing with Paul Whiteman were discovered, and they are appended at the very end after the closing credits (at least in a version theatrically screened in 2021). Very informative; besides his cornet playing, the doc doesn't stint when it comes to his piano playing, his composing and his alcoholism.

- In late 1958, General Artists Corporation assembled a rock & roll tour that traveled through the upper Midwestern states and featured some of the music's biggest stars. It was billed as the Winter Dance Party and featured Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, Dion and the Belmonts and Frankie Sardo. It kicked off on January 23rd, 1959 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and became one of the most infamous tours in rock & roll history. Organizationally, the tour was a complete catastrophe. The shows were often scheduled hundreds of miles apart from one another as the tour zigzagged through one of the deadliest winters the Midwest had seen in decades in the worst transportation available. Throughout these chaotic circumstances, the performances remained exciting and the music brought a joy that would remain forever in the hearts and minds of all who attended. Then the unthinkable happened. After their performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa on February 2nd, 1959, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. the "Big Bopper" Richardson were killed when their chartered airplane crashed shortly after taking off from nearby Mason City Municipal Airport. The flight need not have even occurred had travel arrangements on the tour been halfway acceptable. That day was forever immortalized as "the day the music died" by Don McLean in his 1972 anthem American Pie, as the tour and subsequent tragedy symbolized the end of a period in both rock & roll and American history. An entire era came to a close as the turbulent sixties approached and the Winter Dance Party tour became the swan song for that time.
- Make It Stop is a documentary exposing the implications of domestic violence and abuse. Where most documentaries on the subject follow a particular victim, shelter or advocacy group; Make It Stop focuses on the perpetuation of the cycle, societal perceptions of abuse and prevention. While interviews with victims/ survivors and abusers are included in the film, these elements are used more as reference points for the the larger discussion probing the underlying causes of domestic violence, why domestic violence continues to be a pervasive problem and possible solutions.
