The short film is a lighthearted take on a harpsichord concert by Molly Hammond. A cast of eight characters dramatize the music by Benedetto Marcello and others.
“This is a fun and eclectic celebration of some of early music’s more extroverted composers,” said Julianna Emanski of Frisco, Lumedia’s artistic director. “For those who haven’t yet ventured back out to the bars, we’ve created an at-home, people- watching experience.”
Inspired by the music, Emanski and Hammond created the storyline that unfolds throughout the concert. The film is directed by Emanski and shot by Caleb Jones of Arlington. Thane Isaac of Denton, a Baroque violinist and frequent actor in Lumedia’s productions, plays the central role of the comic French bartender.
