This is nineteen year old Dominique Thompson (a.k.a. Destiny) at work at the Cat's Meow on Bourbon Street. She is a long time ElekTrik Muse. She first appeared in our work in 2005 in a piece in the Guardian Newspaper. Then again in 2008 in a film/music collaboration with Franz Kirman. I could go on, but suffice it to say that she is looking forward to shooting the feature film "Destiny lives Down the Road" inspired by her kick-ass and very gangster life.Daneeta Loretta Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06577110191804669894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023018228987756700.post-60561002150610473502012-05-23T17:31:00.002-07:002012-05-23T17:31:37.918-07:00Working on some text for the website<br />

We have had a fascination with St. Bernard Parish for nearly ten years. Some people have called it an obsession. Situated just south east of New Orleans, "da parish" spans from populated to end of the world, from small town Louisiana to a swampy wasteland.</div>Daneeta Loretta Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06577110191804669894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023018228987756700.post-68810046473162474722012-05-11T18:52:00.003-07:002012-05-11T18:52:20.102-07:00The InauguralSnake Alley Festival of Film have announced the festival lineup on their Facebook Page, and "Destiny" has been honored with a screening.

The Insight Festival was created in Manchester in 2007 by a number of media professionals who wanted to promote <strong>community cohesion</strong> by encouraging filmmakers to look at faith, and has grown into an International Film Festival attracting entries from across the globe. Insight focuses on faith as a theme, not working to promote any religious or nonreligious views, instead offering a platform through which faith can be explored, discussed and understood.Daneeta Loretta Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06577110191804669894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023018228987756700.post-10394962676551712082011-09-22T14:21:00.000-07:002011-09-22T14:21:42.459-07:00Cracking Review for "Destiny"<a href="http://capitolweekly.net/article.php?xid=zxxs1yc39y9243">Capitol Weekly: Politics at the Movies</a>:<br /><br />The true highlight was the final film, Destiny Lives Down the Road. It was filmed using non-professional actors, mostly playing themselves, in the town of Chalmette, Louisiana, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The short film follows the day-to-day existence of a poor teenage girl, played by Dominique Thompson, as she tries to resume her life after the hurricane. She attempts to raise her two younger siblings, deal with her negligent mother and divorced father, and raise enough money to resume her hobby of dancing. The understated performances feel extremely real, right down to the distinct accents, and the shots of Chalmette, with overturned boats and rusting, abandoned cars, paints a grim picture of Post-Katrina life. Directors Daneeta Lorreta Jackson and Patrick Jackson move the film naturally to a bleak ending. Hurricane Katrina has spawned a host of media depictions, but few have the understated, personal despair of Destiny Lives Down the Road.Daneeta Loretta Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06577110191804669894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023018228987756700.post-88101487021013416722011-09-09T12:03:00.000-07:002011-09-09T12:03:16.219-07:00"Destiny" to screen at Brief Encounters<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.encounters-festival.org.uk/assets/templates/2011/images/briefSmall.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.encounters-festival.org.uk/assets/templates/2011/images/briefSmall.png" /></a></div><br />

We are extremely pleased to announce that "Destiny lives Down the Road" will screen at the <a href="http://www.bfi.org.uk/lff/films/short_cuts_animation/1805">55th BFI London Film Festival</a>. Some info about the festival here:<br />
<br />
<div class="bodytext">The London Film Festival started in 1956 when a group of film critics headed by the famous Dilys Powell - the film critic for the Sunday Times - got together over dinner.<br />
</div><div class="bodytext">They discussed the festivals at Cannes and Venice and agreed that London needed one too. Its aim was to give the public the opportunity to see films from around the world that were not being shown in the cinema. Originally conceived as a 'festival of festivals', screening a selection of strong titles from other European festivals, the first London Film Festival screened 15 films from an impressive array of directors, including Luchino Visconti, Akira Kurosawa and Andrzej Wajda. Most screenings are attended by the people involved in making the films, from actors and directors, to producers and stuntmen! This gives the Festival screenings a unique and intimate feeling, as the audience interacts with the stars. </div>Daneeta Loretta Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06577110191804669894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023018228987756700.post-24260385232363346632011-09-06T16:36:00.000-07:002011-09-06T16:36:45.701-07:00Destiny and Carmella to screen at the Dreamland Festival<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dreamlandfilmfest.com/Information.html"><img border="0" height="179" src="http://www.dreamlandfilmfest.com/images/23227935.gif" width="640" /></a></div>Daneeta Loretta Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06577110191804669894noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4023018228987756700.post-53255161764136680882011-08-24T15:27:00.000-07:002011-08-24T15:35:48.387-07:00"Destiny" to screen in GermanyThe Elektrik Zoo are pleased to announce that "Destiny lives Down the Road" will screen at the 8th annual <a href="http://www.filmfest-eberswalde.de/english/index.htm">Filmfest Eberswalde</a>.<br />

Tomorrow we embark on an extended one month retreat to Sweden. In preparation for a Carmella/Destiny festival run, we've been working on four feature treatments. Our plan is to travel with the films and put those treatments into the hands of everyone who likes our work and can do something about it.<br />
<br />
This retreat to Sweden is about getting those treatments finalized. But there is also some sneaky research on Rockhammar as well. We did a retreat in this village in the summer of 2005 to do some editing on "Tokyo Cowboys." We watched the news of Katrina on an old fuzzy TV in Swedish. Patrick has done a dizzying amount of stills of Rockhammar. We've shot video...the opening shot of "Liza" is shot in Rockhammar. It's also where Patrick's mother was born. So, there is something there for us, and we are going to investigate that.<br />
<br />
The Swedish connection has been there for me for over 30 years. Bergman and some Swedes who came on an exchange program to my high school. We're going to creatively get all we can from our month's retreat.<br />
<br />
Part of our job is also staying in shape, so there will also be loads of exercise, fresh air and locally grown vegetables.<br />
<br />

Yes. You read it right. "Destiny lives Down the Road" is finally finished. Now what?<br />
<br />
It's festival time, folks, which means spending a butt load of money to enter our film into festivals. We don't mind, though.

"Divine Feminine" is a fun romp with goddesses and their toy-boys, roller skates and barbie dolls.<br />
<br />
Two acts from Houston joined two acts from New Orleans the previous weekend at Michalopoulos Studio for the show, which included long-form improv, comedy and drama as well as dance.<br />
<br />
Elektrik Zoo would like to thank the good folks at New Orleans Fringe, Houston Fringe, Frenetic Theatre and Michalopoulos Studio for having us. We were relatively well behaved.Daneeta Loretta Jacksonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06577110191804669894noreply@blogger.com0
