Just days away from the 2017 Des Moines Arts Festival and we were thrilled to have Stephen King and Kristian Day take some time away and be with us in studio to talk about the "back-story". Here we talk about the festival, what it means to Des Moines, the artists and what one thing you can do to enhance your experience. What started back in 1958 as "Art in the Park" has grown to become an international sensation. Then we learn from Kristian that the Interrobang Film Festival, which has been part of the Des Moines Arts Festival will, this year, become a "stand-alone" event in the East Village. Some great radio here...enjoy!

We connected with filmmaker Tom Laughlin several years ago when he was working on the first season of American Barn Stories and, in that work, touched on a story about a barn in West Des Moines. Tom has a production company, Kovia, in Wisconsin a "one man band" that puts together powerful stories for television and for private use. We talked a bit about that and his new project of helping counties tell their story. Here, on our Newsmaker Line is Tom Laughlin:

The 48 Hour Film Project (July 24-26) is a creative explosion for film-makers. In charge of this project is Samuel Pace-Tuomi whom we asked to give us a flavor of what the project is, how many teams compete, where they go from here and what can the entire event mean to not only the people taking part in the project but the community as well.
Last month we were made aware of something called EchoLight Cinemas. We asked around and found that it is an evangelical group that asks churches to become a "movie theater" and show high quality films with a religious bent. Toni Lampley is the contact here in Iowa. We asked her to come by and help us better understand what's the story.
We LOVE creative people and Kristian Day is one of our favorites. Kristian is a filmmaker, producer, business owner and part-time television actor. No, really! We invited him in to talk about that and the new film "Up On The Woof-Top" released soon for you Christmas folks.
