Lenore Rabatin did a lovely review and article on MOMz Hot ROCKs.

The site features a different artist every week this one was about developing one's inner ROCK STAR. Keep on the lookout of what promises to be a gaggle of laundry room bands from Minneapolis. Prince beware.

MOMz Hot ROCKs WON BEST DOCUMENTARY at RIIFF

How could we forget to blurt out that MOMz Hot ROCKs won the Viola M. Marshall Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Rhode Island International Film Festival last month?

It must be because of overwhelming humility.

In fact, I, Kate Perotti was at the festival, was outside of the awards banquet trying to say hello and thank you to the festival director George Marshall for putting on such a successful event in Providence when I saw that he was already on the podium speaking. It was a gorgeous summer day. My wonderful Aunt Madeline and Uncle Bill and Madeline's mother Ann were waiting in the car while I grabbed my posters from the filmmakers lounge. I couldn't see how I would win an award with 234 other great films in the festival and decided to spend my last day in Providence eating the local fare, visiting their friends house restoration projects, going to yard sales, and eating more local fare...

It was only two weeks ago that I found out MOMz Hot ROCKs got the Audience Award (tying with Rock Prophecies).

MOMz Hot ROCKs sailed through the RIIFF

MOMz Hot ROCKs friends and family literally sailed twice in Narragansett Bay 

and motored once to Martha's Vineyard where the locals were anxiously awaiting the First Family's summer vacation.

I play/stayed in amazing Warwick Neck with my favorite peeps, somehow the word spread and MOMz Hot ROCKs screening at the RIIFF made the front page of the Warwick Beacon!

The Newport Mercury also reviewed it.  I'll post the link when I get it.

The Rhode Island International Film Fest hosted a plethera of films throughout Providence.

Pat from the Mydols joined me for some of the festivities and screening.

Our mini thrill was meeting Ernest Borgnine, 

Anne Meara, Jerry Stiller and Doris Roberts at the Federal Reserve Party last Friday night.  They were having a ball together, all so fun, funny and kind.

All in all, we had a fab time in Providence, Rhode Island and beyond.

I can't wait to go back.  I hope to show the film in women's studies departments.   Rhode Island College is on the short list.

Thanks to everyone in Warwick Neck, you of course know who you are.

MOMz Hot ROCKs Salutes One Hot Mama; Grace Jones Rules

What a torrent of power, grace, beauty and humour, Ms. Grace Jones ruled the Hollywood Bowl last Sunday July 26, 2009. She looked beyond fabulous, looking more like an Olympic Athlete than anything else.

And what a surprise when she introduced her son! He, a grown man, was playing percussion on stage with the band. How cool is that. She and Yoko would make a great double bill in some wild space like the Tate Modern...

The show was a mix of a few classics, plus La Vie en Rose and new tracks from her soon to be released in the US album, "Hurricane." The LA crowd was fun as downloads have obviously made there way across the pond to our ears enabling several sing-a-longs. (lame wording for a great moments in music)

She makes the future look brighter for all of us.
