HR “Finding Joseph I” is the upcoming documentary chronicling the eccentric life of legendary punk rock reggae singer, Paul “HR” Hudson.

HR “Finding Joseph I” is a feature documentary currently in production, chronicling the eccentric life and struggles of punk rock reggae singer, Paul “HR” Hudson, a.k.a. Joseph I. The charismatic frontman’s energetic and explosive live performances helped pioneer hardcore punk rock with the Bad Brains, one of the most influential bands to rise out of the 1980’s. HR’s heavy devotion to the Rastafarian faith guided him in a spiritual direction leaving the band several times to explore his love for reggae music as the solo artist, HR Human Rights. Over the years, the Bad Brains have reunited several times only to struggle with the unpredictable singer. HR’s increasingly strange and abnormal behavior has left many convinced that he his suffering from psychological troubles while others believe he is still living out his journey as one of the greatest frontmen in rock and roll history!

Thursday, May 30th - Film Screening of “Atitlán in Bloom”

In 2009, filmmakers John Meyer, Zafer Ulkucu, and Daniel Abell traveled to Guatemala to make a documentary about foreign followers of 2012 doomsday predictions based on the Mayan calendar. This is not that documentary. As director Meyer provocatively asks in the opening moments of the film: “Why make a film about the end of the world, when we just found a part of it we like so much?”

Instead of apocalypse, Atitlán in Bloom celebrates the wonder of place through chance encounters and new friends in the villages and towns surrounding Lake Atitlán in the central highlands of Guatemala. Meeting mechanics, artists, textile workers, politicians, religious groups, healers, and more, including some unforgettable characters such as an herbalist named Doctor Pizza, French mystic Alain Galtie (also known as Merlin), and local artist Feliciano Pop; the film paints a unique image of life on the shores of this massive crater lake.

Richly filmed and realized, Atitlán in Bloom is a travelogue that seeks to subtly subtly tweak its own genre, one that is more about staying in one place than it is about breathless forward movement.

This program, offered during the final month of the academic year prior to graduation, helps facilitate the transition from high school by involving Seniors with interests in arts and music in an internship that will expand their creative interests and professional abilities. The goal of this hands-on interactive educational intern experience for high school seniors is to introduce teens to Artisphere’s creative opportunities and engage them in Artisphere programming and promotions while self producing a Battle of the Bands event for their peers.
