This week's short film is the video for Hey Marseilles’ lovely tune “Heart Beats.” My reason for featuring the music video? Not only is its director of photography one of the most important figures in Seattle’s film industry, Benjamin Kasulke (the 2013 winner of the Genius Award for film), but also it’s the first significant cinematic use of the expanding light rail system, Link. We have seen the ferry system and I-5 in many, many films and videos, but never before this new mode of moving around our emerald-colored town.



By the way, Hey Marseilles and Emerald City Soul Club will be providing music for the SEIU-sponsored Obamacare Party, Go Health Yourself, at Chopsuey on November 21. Health insurance, like dancing, is good for your body.
