Happily Ever After? Sep 28--Nov 30, 2012 If Hollywood movies and popular TV series are any measure, fairy tales are enjoying a resurgence of interest. We think of them as entertainment for children, but they are among the darkest stories we tell. Wicked stepmothers abandon children deep in the forest.

This is the very first trailer for our upcoming short film, THE CHALKBOARD CHRONICLES. In 1997, the artist Tom Judd curated a show in the window of TZ Art gallery in New York City called “The Chalkboard Chronicles.” The show included a month long rotating exhibit with three large chalkboards. Twelve artists were invited to do their art on 3 chalkboards. After each week the boards were erased and 3 more artists took their turn. During this time all the artists were interviewed on camera, filmed while they were working and the work done documented before being erased. The artists included: Spalding Gray, Christopher Brooks, Carol Diehl, Richard Hull, David Humphrey, Phillip Johnson, Drew Beattie and Daniel Davidson, Ilona Granet, Gary Komarin, Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz, Elliott Puckette and Ray Smith. Highlights of the project include the late Spalding Gray’s monologue in chalk, telling the story of a childhood school experience, ending with a moving acknowledgement of his father. This groundbreaking project gave a rare opportunity for the public to witness the creative process. It also challenged the artists in both working in public, and in having the product of their creativity erased after a short period of time.
