After years of set-up we're finally getting started on the production of "Riverhood" down here in the Big Easy. For various logistic reasons, principle shooting will begin in late August. However, in a few weeks we'll begin assembling the B-Roll stuff when we join the Pirates of the Pontchartrain for their annual French Quarter Pirate Pub Crawl. And yes, it's exactly what you think it is. It's a group over a thousand strong who take this shit very seriously. haha. The question you should be asking yourself is "Why do I live where they don't have a Pirate Pub Crawl?"
The Pirates are just one of the many unique elements we're bringing together down here in New Orleans to do something amazing. We now begin our campaign to use music and laughter to restore our city. Looking forward to sharing the ride with everyone.

Hi Travis, Nice hearing about your story. It does take a certain persistence to make a (any) production; congratulations. Adding music now? Isn't it usually added in Post-Production ? I'm a musician / composer / Drum teacher and been writing music last 10 years (part time). the New Orleans drum beat is def. a 'thing' (swing) to learn for some drummers. I remember my learning curve in a musical, lol. ;~). It's a great swing feel; as I saw somewhere on the Internet, Sherrie Maricle Jazz drummer / performer (or someone else mentioned), ah it was Tommy Igo ! said ... It's somewhere between straight 8th notes and swing, being played on drums - not the cyms. Welcome to Stage 32 - hope to learn more about your project.
Sincerely,
Kerry Kennard

Hey man, we're not adding music yet, but I'm using the search for the local music to be on the soundtrack as a separate narrative developed through the internet. We're about to do something down here that's really cool. Things are moving at a very rapid pace now. It's a hell of a ride. Again, thanks for the support!

Travis O Harrison that sounds like a fun project. Congratulations on starting production. Yes, it seems that a Pirate Pub Crawl should be available in every city.
