New Narrative Video Work

I've recently completed a short film, No Exit 2, which is currently in submission for film festivals. No Exit 2 stars Cricket Arrison, Scott Burke, and Lucia A. Treasure. The screenplay for No Exit 2 was commissioned by Gregg Wilhelm for CityLit's 2014 FreeFall Baltimore program, entitled Geo-Poe: A Literary Geo-caching Adventure. 

An other narrative comedy short, Here's To Living Alone, premiered in 2017 as a segment of Exquisite Corpse, the Melissa LaMartina-produced experimental collaborative feature film. Following digital release of the full feature, Here's To Living Alone will be made available to the public via my Vimeo channel. Pending digital release, links to my short will be made available upon request by emailing me at [email protected]

On deck for 2018 are narrative music videos for the Baltimore-based band Quattracenta, and my band Santa Librada. If awarded the Baker Artist prize, funds will go immediately towards supporting these videos, as well as furthering my multimedia memoir project mentioned elsewhere.

    In the Raw

    In March I released an album of solo guitar and voice songs, 50'♀ In The Raw: Live from the Magpie Cage. 

    To celebrate, I performed a single album release show with Lady Hatchet & Jeff Waters at Zissimo's

    • 50'♀

    50'♀is a popular music experiment by Rahne Alexander, both solo and in collaboration with other artists. 

    50'♀contributed a recording of "Came So Far For Beauty" to Last Year's Man, a Baltimore tribute to Leonard Cohen, in 2017. This recording, made with pianist/vocalist Christina Reitemeyer, was a featured selection in a City Paper article in the summer of 2017, and performed live for the first time at the Baltimore Transgender Alliance's Trans March of Resilience Banquet in November 2017.

      I still love this track, and you can still buy it from Bandcamp and support Planned Parenthood Maryland. In 2017, 50’♀ contributed a track to this Baltimore-does-Leonard-Cohen tribute record. Proceeds benefitted Planned Parenthood of Maryland. My track, "Came So Far For Beauty," was featured in the City Paper's 2017 annual music issue as one of the "50 Song Soundtrack to Life During the Trump Regime" https://lastyearsmantribute.bandcamp.com/ http://www.citypaper.com/news/features/bcpnews-2017-big-music-issue-20170621-htmlstory.html
