If you’re going to SXSW this month, make sure to catch the world premiere of
Tiny Furniture featured in SXSW’s Narative Film Competition.
Directed by Groove Garden pal Lena Dunham, the film is a hilarious and spot on account of female coming-of-age (and regression) after undergrad. Groove Garden helped out with music supervision, and the film features amazing original tracks by the human hit machine Teddy Blanks.
Check out the trailer

The show Independent Lens on PBS has a new episode all about sampling and copyright laws. It’s called Copyright Criminals.
It’s available to watch online until February 9th, watch it here.
COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression,
copyright law and money.
Not only does the film chronicle and discuss sampling and the rise of the remix, it also provides first-person interviews with artists on all sides of the issue. I was expecting Public Enemy’s production team The Bomb Squad and the Beastie Boy’s heavily sampled album “Paul’s Boutique” to be discussed. I did not expect interviews with Clyde Stubblefield — James Brown’s drummer and the world’s most sampled musician, or hear producer Steve Albini talk such decisive trash about sampling. I also wouldn’t have guessed Maggie Gyllenhaal would narrate it.
Groove Garden’s movie critic team gives it 2 thumbs up!
And kudos to whoever worked the music clearances for it!

“Way better than a 90 second trailer featuring Adrian Grenier in a fat suit”
