Sia belts the emotional ballad with reckless abandon-she is never eclipsed by electric beats. Crisp piano notes in the beautiful instrumental intro sound like a track off of “21.” The piano cuts off when Sia begins to sing, and a percussive backdrop keeps the tempo for the rest of the track. Adele’s influence can be felt throughout the track. Both songs were, in fact, originally intended for Adele’s upcoming album, “25,” but were picked up by Sia when Adele passed on them. Like “Alive,” the first single released from her next album, this song was written in collaboration with Adele. 3, the track is the second single off her upcoming album, “This is Acting.” While still in line with Sia’s reliable melodicism, “Bird Set Free” is a far cry from the danceable billboard beats of “Chandelier.” The energy is still there-but it takes a less overstated, more stirring form. You can buy the DVD through latest single, “Bird Set Free,” displays the artist reaching new spaces in sound and lyrical content. And, thank God and our amazing team, I loved it. And it is - cinema is made of a huge team, and all of us are part of it.

You can say I'm biased, of course, which is understandable - who would diss a movie they worked on? I confess I was afraid I wouldn't like the final cut, because I'm very critical and even though I didn't direct or write "Shout It Out", I feel like it's my movie, too. This is the beauty of independent film-making, of what doing some really artistic, entertaining, and that has something to say. trying to absorb everything I could! The great energy on set - the amazing director/co-writer, Bess O'Brien, producer Morgan Faust, the talented cast, choreographer Rainey Lacey, and so many other people working for little or no money at all, just out of love and passion for what they were doing (shooting a low budget musical with dozens of kids with no experience in front of the cameras in one month is quite a feat!). But it was my very first experience on a movie set and we have to start somewhere, right? Sometimes I would just stand and look. I felt a little frustrated that, knowing a lot of theories but having no technical experience with camera/lighting et al, I couldn't always be as useful as I'd like to but the other crew guys (film students or graduates) were very nice and supportive, and tried to teach me some basic tricks, even though most of the time they had to do all the hard procedures themselves, since we had a tight schedule and they didn't have time to teach me everything. But every minute I spent on the set was precious, and the whole experience was unforgettable. Unfortunately, I couldn't be on the movie set every day because a) I couldn't always get a ride to Jericho, where it was filmed b) I still had to keep working full-time at Moe's (doing dishes in a busy restaurant - how cool is that?) in order to pay the bills. So, with no previous experience in the medium, but with a life passion for film-making, I got the internship.

This "real High School Musical" (developed much before Disney Channel's abhorrent TV movie) toured several Vermont towns during the fall of 2005, and both the movie and the play deal with serious issues that a Disney Channel flick would never dare to talk about: racism, homophobia, drugs, suicide, bullying, etc.

Having been in Vermont for a little less than a year, I confess I didn't know anything about "The Voices Project", a widely acclaimed play (got raves even from The New York Times and won the 2005 Vermont Community Award from the Vermont Agency of Human Services) written during a yearlong statewide research with more than 1000 teens. In 2007, my best friend told me about this open call for crew internships for a local production, "The Voices Project Movie" (now, "Shout It Out"), in Burlington, Vermont.
