Latest Work from Flimmaker Robert McTyre Jr. Now on YouTube

Some of you will remember the entry from a few weeks ago in which I talked about our son, Robert Jr., who is out in sunny California making his way to being a Hollywood filmmaker. As I mentioned then, Robbie began filming and placing onto YouTube a collection of his work. You can find some of his latest work there now. Go to:

The "Devil's Blue" series is a remastering of some work Robbie did while at Wayne State University. And a more recent work, "L.A. Metro," is a visual ride through all central points in L.A. and is accompanied by a pulsating jazz-fusion-blues soundtrack from Detroit's own "Freedom Underground" (of which oldest son, Cornelius, is a member). That band is led by Keith Owens, a renaissance man by any strech of the imagination as he's as known for his writing and editing talents (including The Metro Times and the Michigan Chronicle) as he is for having mad electric guitar playing skills.

These videos will remind you of why emergent talent is so valuable and so much deserves to be nurtured and supported.

Enjoy!

...and please support the arts!
