I just had the pleasure of meeting Shane Hagedorn, producer of Fairview Street. Fairview Street is a mid-Michigan produced drama that is playing at Celebration Cinema in Lansing, MI. There are 4 showings coming up at 2 pm and 7 pm on both February 15 and 16.
I have seen Fairview Street and also Shane’s first film, The Model Father. I have to say I am impressed. One of the most striking things I noticed about Shane is that he is incredibly grounded in who he is and what he wants to do. He has stories to tell, and he wants to tell them in a way that makes sure he remains true to the characters, but also to himself. He is going to be around for a while, and I am going to support him in his endeavors as he makes more films.
If you’re a music fan, Fairview Street has a fantastic soundtrack. I really enjoyed the film.
Please support these local filmmakers!
After talking with Shane and watching what he and his crew created, I thought of a quote:
What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it!
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
If you see the film, come back here and tell us what you thought of it.

John, go out and buy “What Would Google Do?” It’s a great book and talks about the amateurization of media and about all the opportunities for creative filmmakers. You’ll love it!
I definitely want to read the book. Thanks as always Kevin!
