A Trailer for Pitch and Tone

a little set up from Justin Sirois
On a business trip to Chicago in '05, I saw a rough cut of the trailer for Joseph and Ross Cashiola's debut film, Pitch and Tone, before a rock show at a bar whose name I can't remember. What I do remember is being struck by its thoughtful and quiet scenes, its unconventional and honest humor. If these two talented musicians and writers can translate their art to the screen then this film marks the first installment in a body of work that will challenge the norm without marginalizing its message -- no small feat. After the trailer, the Cashiola brothers played beautiful music together as Hotel Brotherhood and, though in a city I'd never visited, I felt like a brother to everyone in the bar.

Later that night we rode in an old Scout, the top removed and the tops of our heads ramming the roll bar at each nearly missed stop sign. Our shirtless driver, Biff, ate the pig guts I mistakenly ordered at a Mexican restaurant. He might be in the movie too, but I'm not sure.
