In
January, Kurt scored "Crimson and Clover", a short film
written, directed by and starring Kurt Larson (Kurt G's childhood
friend). Kurt L plays Billy who is torn between Rose, a sure thing, and
the elusive ex-girlfriend Francois.
A
full-length feature called "The Alpha Geek" is in the
works for Larson with Kurt G onboard to write the score. Production is
scheduled to start in Summer 2006.

Kurt
wrote two new pop/rock songs for the main and end title theme of "Send
In The Clown", a film by Spencer Schilly. The story
follows 25-year-old Wesley as he miraculously wakes from a 13-year coma
only to decide we wants to be a professional clown.

MUSICAL THEATRE -
Winner
of the 2007 New York Fringe Festival Overall Excellence Award for Best Music and
Lyrics!
Williamsburg! The Musical played to
over 1100 people for five shows at the Village Theatre as part of the NY
International Fringe Festival in August 2007.
Williamsburg! The Musical is
a hilarious pop/rock parody of Brooklyn’s over-hyped hipster ‘hood. A suicidal
Trust-Funder encounters a disenchanted Hasidic Jew in the shadow of the
Williamsburg Bridge. On their potholed road to love, they battle a greedy real
estate agent whose diabolical plan to overtake the neighborhood spawns an army
of zombie-like hipsters. Will the unlikely heroes of Williamsburg band together
to save the sub-borough? Or will gentrification reign? With songs like "One Stop
(To Excitement)," "Peter Luger Lullaby," and “Million Dollar Crackhouse,” this
timely Roast of the Burg juxtaposes Missed Connections and “Hipstory Lessons” to
comically exploit the cultural mish-mash of “the coolest neighborhood in
America.”
Created by
Nicola Barber, Will Brumley, Brooke Fox, and Kurt Gellersted.
