HOWL TV HAS SOMETHIN’ TO SAY

There Is Someplace to Go When You Can’t Go Anywhere

“We’re in a situation. Got somethin’ to say?” With this simple phrase, Howl Arts opened the door to community-created programming streaming 24/7 on the homepage.

Since the instigation of social isolation, artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, dancers, and even the Disappointed Carrot have created original content for #somethintosay. Short and sweet, poignant and funny, provocative and dazzling, these short films are a channel to the creativity and resilience of our community.

The programming includes a moody story told by Helixx C. Armageddon; a dance performance by Leyya Mona Tawil with violinist Antonina Pozdnyakova; a tour of the murals created by Scooter LaForge in his apartment, dubbed Corona Cave Paintings; writer Robert Rosen reading from his latest book and memoir Bobby in Naziland: A Tale of Flatbush; the wacky Pandemic Cooking with Wendy with special guest Tym Moss; experimental film by writer Armand Ruhlman; poetry by Jeffrey Wright; studio tours with MarcusGlitteris, Ford Crull and Michelangelo Alasa; a musical performance by Robert Petraglia; Exit, a poetic experimental film by Robert Butcher; a dazzling light show by Luigi Cazzaniga and reading by poet Ilka Scobie; a studio tour with Antagonist movement founder Ethan Minsker; a performance by contemporary artist Stas Ginzburg dealing directly with social isolation; John Pizza’s hilarious Full Moon Shows; and a performance by Michael Fontana aka Eileen Dover. Watch #somethintosay.
