MUSICAL SPECIALS

HOLLY COLE TRIO: MY FOOLISH HEART (1992)

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:
Bruce Glawson and Arnie Zipursky

DIRECTOR: Michael McNamara

A one-hour television special that features live concert footage shot at the historical Heritage Theatre in Brampton Ontario, interspersed with personal conversations with Holly and her musicians, in the recording studio with producer Greg Cohen, and visiting friends and family in Nova Scotia.

JANE SIBERRY, I MUSE ALOUD (1987)

DIRECTOR OF POST-PRODUCTION: Michael McNamara

This music documentary special is an intimate portrait of my favorite Canadian singer-songwriter Jane Siberry. The one hour special features scenes from Jane's "Speckless Sky" North American tour, live in-concert footage from Montreal's Le Spectrum Club, excerpts from her music videos, interviews, and revealing behind-the-scenes glimpses of the artist backstage and exclusive footage of Jane at work in the studio during the recording of her album "The Walking". It was produced for TVOntario.

Trivia:

Jane tells Joni Mitchell that I Ching told her that "cows are going to show you your way". And later Gerald Casale of Devo fame directs Jane during the making of the US version of her music video, "One More Colour" where Jane walks and dances along with a very pregnant cow, Buttermilk (from "Let's Make A Deal").

Bob Blumer, who appears in the documentary as Jane's manager, went on to become a cook book author and illustrator and host of Food Network's "The Surreal Gourmet" and "Glutton for Punishment".

In June 2006, Jane Siberry changed her name to Issa.

This half-hour version has a 'freestyle spirit which frames her [Siberry] marvelously well'. It was produced for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and to its credit has been described as "a textbook case of leaving them wanting more." "Jane Siberry TV profile intelligent and articulate"

A profile of Canadian female vocalist Luba, featuring interviews with the singer, behind-the-scenes footage, and highlights of performances at the 1987 Juno Awards ceremony, the Club Metropolis in Montreal, and the Ontario Place Forum.
