ROCK LEE

ROCK LEE is a singer, composer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist and producer who has been writing songs since the age of 13. Coming from a musical family, Rock had the privilege of growing up in a rich musical environment. He was exposed to musicians playing various instruments and styles, even while he was in the womb. Presented with his first set of drums at the age of 4, Rock progressed to acoustic guitar, then bass and electric from the ages of ages 6-15 and began working in street festivals with a band at age 13. Having been born in the 60's, he has retained a personal respect and integrity for melodious content. His first favorites were the Beatles, The Move, the Bee Gees and ELO. Rock's older brothers, a jazz saxophonist and a guitar virtuoso, introduced him to more subtle aspects of musical dissection and appreciation. As an ear-trained, full-time working musician, he taught himself to read musical notation, and as a result, is capable of charting out musical arrangements (ie: string and horn section) for his musical compositions. Through the years, Rock has been inspired to write a wide variety of musical styles and can compose songs in any and all genres upon request. He hopes to bring back the musical innocence, integrity and an element of "feel-goodness" that seems to be lacking in this modern pop culture, and has always sought to write the kind of song that he himself would enjoy hearing. He has hundreds of songs in his repertoire, performed by himself, as well as by other artists. His compositions have been used in music videos and feature film. You can purchase Rock Lee's songs @ iTunes & Amazon.

SLEEPING WITH THE BEAR

SWTB Productions has completed principal photography on the independently produced short film SLEEPING WITH THE BEAR starring award winning actors Eileen Grubba (Sons of Anarchy, The Mentalist, The Closer) and Carmen Argenziano (Stargate SG-1, House, CSI-NY) who are both lifetime members of The Actors Studio. Directed by Eva Minemar and written by Gena Acosta, Sleeping with the Bear is a film about Emily, a former track and field Olympic hopeful, whose dreams have been cut short from a crippling accident that destroyed her leg. Now working as a manicurist, she receives news from her insurance company that the “revolutionary” series of surgeries she is supposed to finally undergo to restore her quality of life will NOT be approved. This devastating disappointment sends this usually strong woman spiraling down in ways she never has before, as her last hopes for an easier, pain-free life are dashed. Her older neighbor William, a recently widowed taxidermist has just been commissioned to execute his biggest and most anticipated taxidermy job in his career: stuff and mount a 9 foot grizzly bear – “The Taxidermist’s Everest”. However, not having his wife there to share it with him, William finds himself lost on what should be the most glorious of days… So he knocks on Emily’s door and she reluctantly answers. Sleeping With The Bear is about friends helping each other rise above life’s challenges. The subject matter is especially personal to Grubba, a cancer survivor who has overcome a physical disability to build a formidable body of work over a 20 year career in the entertainment industry. Still, she finds employment opportunities increasingly difficult to secure as she encounters recurring discrimination because of her “perceived” differences and is at risk of losing her health insurance. "Everyone should be afforded the same opportunities to pursue their dreams and succeed in their chosen field regardless of race, creed, religion, age, gender or orientation”, says Grubba. “So why are individuals with disabilities blatantly discriminated against in the Entertainment Industry?”

THE BROKEN CONDOM BABIES

Vancouver band THE BROKEN CONDOM BABIES was conceived by vocalist/guitarist Aaron Grant and producer/guitarist Jerry Wong after realizing that a lot of today's music had become predictable, pretentious and other words that begin with pre. Their quirky chord progressions and only mildly offensive lyrics will put even the stiffest square into a uncontrollable dancing frenzy. Showcasing their unorthodox stage maneuvers and humorous 'in between songs' banter, their live show is not to be missed but be careful not to become impregnated by their infectious juice. Even their moms think they're awesome! The guys performed in Vancouver during the 2010 Olympics and are constantly gigging around town, so keep your eyes and ears peeled!!
