The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights

92 minute documentary film containing footage from the 2007 Canadian tour shot and directed by Emmett Malloy.

In the summer of 2007, shortly after the release of their 6th album 'Icky Thump', The White Stripes headed north of their hometown of Detroit to embark on an ambitious journey across Canada. The plan was to play a show in every province and territory in Canada, from B.C. to Newfoundland to Nunavut. 'Having never done a tour of Canada, Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog... from the ocean to the permafrost' says Jack White. 'We wanted to play out of the way towns that don't usually get shows... the shows are better, it's better for the people, it's a better experience, it's way more unique, something interesting is going to happen... hopefully.'
White called upon filmmaker Emmett Malloy to come and document this trek for the band. Malloy had directed videos for the band in the past, and seemed eager to hit the road with them. Equipped with a couple of 16mm cameras, and a few other documenting devices, the band and crew all headed north. The end result was 'Under Great White Northern Lights'.

'Under Great White Northern Lights' is a visual and emotional feature length film documenting The White Stripes making their way through Canada and culminating with their 10th anniversary show in Nova Scotia. The film documents the band playing shows all over Canada; from local bowling alleys, to city buses, and onward to the legendary Savoy Theater for the 10th Anniversary show. A show that turned out to be the longest show the band had ever done on stage together.

The film captures intimate moments of Jack and Meg both on and off stage as they travel through some of the most remote parts of the northern Yukon Territory. Along the way, they have some nice casual conversations about their ten years together, fire cannons, play some of their biggest songs together on stage, and even play a 'one note show.' The cameras were there to capture every waking moment.

What 'Northern Lights' does best, is document one of the biggest bands in the world, playing to local crowds in small towns. Some of these towns were so small that many of the locals had no idea who The White Stripes were - they just knew something big was going on in their town. This forced a band that had been together for a decade to go back to a place reminiscent of the first shows they ever played together. For the first time in a long time, no one knew who they were and they had to make a first impression with their music. The live footage captured in this film shows that Jack and Meg were clearly ready for this.

Beyond the live footage, some of the films most memorable moments happen off-stage - offering an insightful look into the very private and complex world that is The White Stripes. It was shortly after this tour that The White Stripes canceled their fall tour of the United States - making the ten year anniversary a truly pivotal milestone for this legendary band.

Yanni Live: The Concert Event

How many artists have had their music played at almost every Summer and Winter Olympics broadcast for the past 2 decades? Who has sold out 10 consecutive shows at the Radio City Music Hall? How many performers have had a TV special seen in 65 countries by half a billion people, was one of the top fundraising artists for PBS, and has the #2 bestselling music video of all time? Yanni is an artist who crosses all demographics in his appeal.

This was recorded live in front of more than 10,000 people at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas as part of Yanni's Live 2005 World Tour. This is Yanni's first live recording in nine years. His last live release, Tribute, has scanned almost 1.4 million copies to date. The Tribute album attained platinum status in the US within five weeks of its November 1997 release.

Marvin Sapp: Here I Am

An original member of Commissioned, Marvin Sapp is one of Gospel music's most recognizable voices to date. In 2007, his fourth solo release Thirsty became a Gold Certified success, spurred on by the history-making lead single "Never Would Have Made It". "Never Would Have Made It" was named the longest running #1 single at radio across all genres, spending more than 40 weeks in the top spot. Marvin's new release Here I Am is a live recording that showcases the raw vocal abilities of the "pastor who sings". The first single, "The Best In Me", is already being hailed as an inspirational classic.
