Haven’t found the right time to introduce the family to “Necessary Roughness” yet? This weekend, Thin Line X has a free screening of the film, starring Scott Bakula and shot partly in Denton.
Thin Line runs free
What to watch for at the festival’s 10th installment By Lucinda Breeding
Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com
Thin Line X opened Wednesday night to a big crowd that was ready for a world-premiere documentary. For its 10th year, organizers made admission to Thin Line Fest — a film, music and photography festival in downtown Denton — free of charge. (They also branded it Thin Line X.) Wednesday’s opening film, Waking the Sleeping Giant, follows five Americans — one of them 2016 presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders — through populist stirrings that challenged and began a reform of the political left. There are four more days of the festival, and each day promises more than even the most enthusiastic and caffeinated attendee can manage in a day. Denton Time has some top picks to consider for film buffs, music fanatics, aspiring photographers and families with children.

A
new local charity with a straightforward name and a tiny bit of an American Idol bent — Dentonites Who Give a Damn — had its first meeting Tuesday night. Three nonprofits make a pitch to the group during a mixer. Members then vote on a single one of them to give money to. Members write a check — $100 per attendee seems to be the aim — to the chosen charity. Tuesday night, the group gave $1,850 to the Denton Community Health Clinic, which has been struggling after the loss of grant funds. The next meeting is July 25. ■ Sarah Jaffe, an indie rocker who got her start in Denton, just scored a coveted spot among musicians and bands. Jaffe landed NPR’s Premiere Track of the Week on Tuesday with the title track of her upcoming album, Bad Baby, due out July 7. The video and the song are here: http://n.pr/2onCz4K.

Thin Line FAMILY FARE Thin Line is at heart a documentary film festival. But if you think that means the offerings are staid and dull, think again. “Thin Line” is a reference to the boundaries that blur in both narrative and documentary films. Thin Line has always included some scripted stuff, and organizers have always offered family movies. Necessary Roughness What happens when a Texas football team breaks the rules? In this 1991 comedy filmed partly at the University of North Texas, the athletic directors suck it up, find players from the student body in spite of suspended scholarships, and put all the Lone Star grit they can muster on the gridiron. The coaching staff drafts a 34-year-old quarterback (Scott Bakula) wo still has a wicked arm, a young woman with a fierce kick (Kathy Ireland) and a handful of misfits to face off against bigger, badder teams. With Hector Elizondo, Robert Loggia, Larry Miller and Sinbad. Rated PG, 108 minutes. Screens at 8:15 p.m. Friday at the Travelstead Lot, 215 E. Hickory St. Earth The 2007 documentary by Disneynature will enthrall all ages with the brand’s breathtaking cinematography, tight writing and lovable baby animals (the protective parents are compelling, too). The documentary follows creatures as they migrate, raise their young and flee danger — all with a sense of wonder. Thin Line X tips its hat to Earth Day with the film, too. Rated G, 95 minutes. Screens at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Travelstead Lot. Other family-friendly films: Bill Nye: Science Guy (not rated, 101 minutes) and Armageddon (1998, rated PG-13, 151 minutes) and Astrosamantha, The Space Record Woman (not rated, 83 minutes). The Kraken Quartet Got little ones with a chronic case of the wiggles? Run, don’t walk, to the Kraken Quartet’s gig on the Courthouse lawn at 2 p.m. Saturday. Here’s why: A gaggle of percussionists make groovekicking, hip-shaking music that seems like they’ve borrowed the bodacious rhythms of Stomp! but added in music — jazz, pop or whatever your pleasure. Parents can chill on a blanket and listen for the prog-rock while the kids dance. And dance they will. Photography Take the family to the Thin Line X Photography Experience Happy Hour at 6 p.m. Saturday. Children are bound to be drawn to the photo exhibit and the large-scale spring-summer installation of murals and sculpture in Festival Hall at the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center. The whole family will get a sonic treat, too, as Denton musician Leoncarlo will be coaxing his signature imaginative sounds from his electronic violin. MUSIC Sam Lao This Dallas hip-hop

artist is on the rise. If you like your hip-hop with an edge of grown-woman menace, fierce meter and socially conscious poetry, Lao delivers. But don’t think you’ll get some boring lecture. Lao, who won a coveted and competitive Dallas Observer Music Award, comes to the stage ready to rock. She headlines the Thursday night set that starts at 7 p.m. at Dan’s Silverleaf. With Dezi 5 and Southpaw Preachers. Larkin Poe Atlanta rootsrockers bring bluesy heat and buzz-saw guitar licks. Rebecca and Megan Lovell ooze authority and chops, with Rebecca shredding on lead guitar and Megan cooking on the lap steel. If you like a little twang, and a lot of blowtorch, make haste to their set at 7 p.m. on the Courthouse on the Square lawn on Sunday. Raelyn Nelson Band How about some country music? The band is based in Nashville, but Nelson doesn’t shrink beneath the glitter-lined shadow of Shania. She just slings unvarnished songs about living Southern. If you need an antidote from socalled bro-country, check out Raelyn Nelson Band at 10 p.m. Saturday at LSA Burger. But don’t be surprised if there’s a trace of red dirt on your boots when you leave.

FILM Alone Among the Taliban One of Thin Line’s strengths is the hard-hitting, relevant documentaries it brings to Denton. Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Eslamzadeh captures images of Afghanistan no other filmmaker has been able to get in the last 10 years. Eslamzadeh goes from jail to courts of the Islamic state, gets interviews with local authorities and the members of the Fatwa council, and takes a gamble to try for an interview with a powerful member of the Taliban. Screens at 10 p.m. Thursday at the Campus Theatre. Mr. Gaga This documentary examines the life and work of Ohad Naharin, artistic director of the Batsheva Dance Company. Filmed over a period of eight years, Naharin shares rehearsal footage and dance sequences that tell the story of an artist who redefined the language of modern dance. Dancers from the Texas Woman’s University dance department will perform a work of modern dance before the screening at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Campus Theatre.

UNT student group performs ‘A Very Potter Musical’
The Boy Who Joked
By Lucinda Breeding
Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com
A
Denton Record-Chronicle
group of University of North Texas students are channeling their love for all things Harry Potter into an open-source musical about the Boy Who Lived. MusiComedies, the student group, is having a high time with A Very Potter Musical. The show is a parody about Harry, who takes a lackadaisical approach to his wizardry studies at Hogwarts. His best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger help propel the boy wizard through the slings and arrows of adolescence. And Harry is no normal adolescent. He’s got a bounty on his head, and the most evil wizard in the world, Lord Voldemort, wants to cash in. Familiar faces from the series make an appearance: Professor Quirrell, Albus Dumbledore, Cho Chang and Cedric Diggory. “This was written by college students, so it’s kind of adult,” said Sam Tunnell, a UNT sophomore studying film and legal studies. “People can bring their kids, but it’s aimed at a
college audience, and there are some adult jokes baked in. Some of the language would make this pretty much a rated R show.” The unauthorized fan musical was created by an indie theater company, Starkid Productions. The company began as a student collective at the University of Michigan in 2009. Starkid has since written fan shows based on Starship Troopers, Batman, Star Wars, Aladdin and the Oregon Trail. About 30 students make up the cast and crew of the musical, which Tunnell said has an R&B-inspired score. A drummer and pianist will accompany the performers. “The whole thing is a parody. Draco is played by girl, and Severus Snape is really flamboyant,” Tunnell said. “We’re doing sort of a Frankenfurter Snape.” The musical tells the Harry Potter tale, compressing the story into two years at Hogwarts. Tunnell said MusiComedies scratches the theater itch for UNT students who like theater and performance but who aren’t enrolled in theater arts at the college. Club dues fund the shows, which are put together in utter DIY spirit. Performances are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, with a matinee at 2 p.m. Saturday, in Room 255 at the Eagle Student Services Center, 1155 Union Circle. Admission is free.

The Monkberries’ Marissa Hunt and Adam Millard perform at Midway Craft House on Feb. 25.
Sweet return for Twilight Tunes
D
enton duo the Monkberries will split their concert opening this year’s Twilight Tunes between the Beatles and original music today. Twilight Tunes, a free concert on the downtown Denton Square each Thursday from the end of April through June, turns 24 this year. The Monkberries are Marissa Hunt and Adam Millard
and their four-piece band. The duo (who are a couple) sing sweet, poppy melodies that swing lazily through a haze of twangy, buzzing guitar. Hunt and Millard seem naturally inclined toward Beatles harmonies, and between her effortless mezzo and his tenor, listeners at Twilight Tunes should get a sweet, summery finish for an evening on the Square.
Music starts at 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays, and attendees are welcome to bring blankets and chairs to relax and enjoy the music. Attendees are encouraged to dine or get takeout from nearby restaurants before or after the concerts. Up next week: Jeff Glover, Joe Pat Hennen and Brian Houser, singer-songwriters performing Americana.

n this segment of Denton Dammit, we take a look at some of the odder finds we’ve stumbled across in the Denton Record-Chronicle building. We’re sorting through the items accumulated over decades of newspaper-making in preparation for a move across town later this year.
Two cases of 8-track tapes, left behind as a possible donation to Bucks Burnett’s Eight Track Museum, temporarily installed next door in 2010 during 35 Denton (when the fest was known as NX35 Music Conferette). Selections include Charley Pride’s Burgers and Fries/When I Stop Leaving (I’ll Be Gone), the soundtracks to Paint Your Wagon and South Pacific, a little Beethoven and two copies of Glass Houses by Billy Joel. One initially promising find was The Best of Willie Nelson, Vol. 1, which turned out to be “Simulated Sounds by the Authenticities,” as auspicious a name as you’ll ever find for a sound-alike band.

Movies Violent, funny caper goes wrong in the best way

Loose cannon
By Preston Barta Film Critic
One of the most gratifying and contrasting cinematic detours for audiences is the chamber feature, a film most discernible by its focus on a small cast of characters, explored in a short period of time and hemmed in by a limited environment. Though it would seem to be a genre prone to shooting blanks, it’s a surefire formula that works well for director Ben Wheatley. Free Fire finds Wheatley — who co-wrote and co-edited the film with his regular collaborator (and spouse) Amy Jump — returning to the same era as his previous feature High-Rise. Like that ’70s-set film, Free Fire is confined to one location. This time, instead of a tower block, we find our gang of career criminals (including Brie Larson, Armie Hammer and Sharlto Copley) in a deserted warehouse in Boston negotiating a weapons purchase. But what kind of Wheatley film would this be if the transaction went smoothly rather than going south in bloody, thunderous fashion? After a truck full of the wrong assault rifles is shown to the buyers, accompanied by a personal beef between thugs Stevo (Sam Riley) and Harry (a very good Jack Reynor), the mix-up triggers an explosion of chaos and carnage to fill out the remaining hour of the film. Free Fire was prompted in part by the infamous 1986 FBI shootout in Miami. During the thoroughly blotchy and uncinematic firefight, two serial bank robbers took on eight agents and inflicted far more injury and death than expected. “Part of the report was that the FBI agents had to write down shotby-shot what happened, including the casualties, where the bullets went and how many injuries there were,” Wheatley said in an interview before

In “Free Fire,” a weapons purchase goes wrong for a group of criminals — from left, Armie Hammer, Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Sam Riley and Michael Smiley. the film’s regional premiere at South by Southwest in Austin last month. “When I read that, I found the situation to be messy and horrible. It seemed as though no one could shoot straight and that they shot a lot for a long time.” This devastating event made Wheatley realize how Hollywood tends to show everyone as experts with guns. “I thought there was something in this story — a procedural thing about
people in a gun battle in real time,” Wheatley said. Though all of the film’s contemporary action takes place inside this warehouse, Free Fire fills out its space well and keep things moving at full tilt, never letting its audience lose sense of the characters or geography. “Shooting in one area is easier in the respect that we didn’t waste any time moving from place to place for location changes. However, because we shot in chronological order, it also

made it harder, because if an issue were to occur and you don’t catch it right away, you might not know about it until five weeks in,” Wheatley said.
This particular filmmaking style required Wheatley and Jump to be meticulous and carefully plan the placement of every piece in their mad puzzle, down to using Minecraft for 3-D mapping to make sure everything was accounted for. “When you read a script like this and see that it takes place in one warehouse, you think it’s child's play,” Hammer said. “The film so easily

Wait for the pitch
Students present business ideas before audience By Lucinda Breeding
Staff Writer cbreeding@dentonrc.com
It’s more of an aquarium than Shark Tank, said professor Fabiana Claure. Claure lead the brand new music entrepreneurship program in the University of North Texas College of Music. And on Sunday, teams of students will pitch music business ideas to judges in the first Music Entrepreneurship Competition Grand Finale and Awards Ceremony. But the judges won’t be out for blood like the panel on the popular reality television show. The contest offers students in the program a chance to test what they’ve learned. “Musicians study their instrument first because they have a passion for it. They love to play and to perform,” Claure said. But with the economy changing, Claure said, the university is encouraging music majors to be more versatile than before. “We want them to be able to do more than perform and teach,” she said. “I participated in an event like this when I was in graduate school. My husband and I were able to open a music

Teams of students from the UNT College of Music’s entrepreneurship class will compete in the Music Entrepreneurship Competition Grand Finale and Awards Ceremony on Sunday. academy in Miami, Florida, and it’s still running today.” Students started working on their business proposals and models late last year, Claure said. The finalists will pitch their business ideas in a Shark Tank format — Claure said the students will make presentations to judges before a live audience, as well as taking audience questions. First prizes will be awarded to a graduate team and an undergraduate team, with $5,000 cash awards. Second-place winners will get a smaller amount, and one team will win a $1,000 Audience Choice Award. The prizes are funded through the college’s budget.
Claure said the experience will give the team members more skills to rely on after graduation. “College is a busy time for students, with coursework and studies, but it’s actually an ideal time to start a business. In college you make connections, and after graduation, the students will be giving each other jobs,” Claure said. But she’s cautioned the finalists to stay flexible. “I tell them that just because they have a business plan doesn’t mean things won’t change,” she said. “The minute we opened the doors of our academy? It was as if everything changed. But we’d thought
through so many problems and scenarios. Think of it this way: When you are on stage and you play a note that doesn’t go so well, you have to adapt and do something else. The students have to be ready to apply that same creativity to their businesses.” Student in the music entrepreneurship program study marketing they’ll apply to their senior recitals, performing arts management, and work an internship. The grand finale and award ceremony is 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Sunday in the Recital Hall at the UNT Music Building, 415 Ave. C. Admission is free.

Ashes Smoke Shop hosts the 420 Festival today at the shop, located at — wait for it — 420 S. Carroll Blvd. The festival features live glass blowing and local music from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. today. There are some perks, too: free munchies, and chances to win $2,000 in prizes and a trip
for two to Denver, Colorado.

Free Fire could have been boring, but the devil’s in the details. [Wheatley] did all the heavy lifting for us and mapped everything out, allowing us to be more free with our roles.” Everyone in the stellar cast gets time to shine on screen. Whether it’s the amount of times a certain character takes a bullet to the head without kicking the bucket or how many killer one-liners Sharlto Copley has as a shifty South African gun-runner named Vernon, Free Fire is locked and loaded with explosive wit. “I love to improvise because it’s like being completely in the head of the character,” Copley said. “In the case with Vernon, who has a big mouth, I was able to spew out whatever popped in my head.

Director Ben Wheatley arrives for the U.S. premiere of “Free Fire” during South by Southwest Film Festival on March 13 in Austin.

NOW PLAYING Beauty and the Beast Bill Condon’s live-action retelling of Disney’s animated classic Beauty and the Beast has flickers of charm throughout, but fails is in its presentation.
