We were thrilled when Tammy Hall: Reflections was given top honors in the Calgary Fringe Film Festival held August 10-20, 2006 in Calgary Canada. Our film received its Canadian premiere screening during the festival on August 16th at 10:00p.m. and was shown again on the 18th with all the other ‘best of’ category winners.  The following year, director Lauren Speeth’s Violins & Cigars: Aaron Rosand at 80 was screened along with another film with which Speeth was involved on behalf of The Elfenworks Foundation, The Faces of Poverty.

About the film

Tammy Hall: Reflections – In this film of jazz favorites and original compositions, the musical artistry of jazz pianist Tammy Hall (captured live in concert at the famed Yoshi’s Jazz House) is combined with cinematography by the Elfenworks Productions, LLC team and visuals by master editor/animator Tim Schaller. The blending of Hall’s performance with dream-like imagery invite you to escape into a world of visual metaphor inspired and driven by the emotional qualities evoked by the themes of the music. “Tammy Hall: Reflections,” directed by Lauren Speeth, received 2006 Summit and Telly Awards, and was selected by KCSM 91.1 as a thank-you gift for its 2006 member pledge drive.
