Biking and building a legacy across the USItrsquos tough averaging 75 miles per day on a

road bicycle while enduring the heat of the Oklahoma plains and tackling the challenges of the Colorado mountains

Throw in eight hours of hard labor on home-construction sites during the off days and yoursquove got the ingredients for building quad and calf muscles and strong character

Thirty young men and women stopped in Basalt and Carbondale on Thursday and Friday to help on Habitat for Humanity Roaring Fork projects while pedaling their way across the country They are a team from the nonprofit organization Bike and Build All of the participants are between ages 19 and 26 with many of them in college and others doing good deeds before beginning their careers

The team departed from Charleston South Carolina on Memorial Day They plan to cover the 4233 miles to Santa Cruz Cali-fornia by Aug 14

To make their feat even more amazing the 30 participants raised about $150000 prior to the trip to construct an entire home for a needy family in Fountain Each member must raise at least $4500 before the start of the trip

Amana Carson 20 of West Chester Pennsylvania and a student at St Josephrsquos University said she had volunteered on Habitat for Humanity projects before but had never really cycled prior to this summer She decided it would be a nice to bike across America while volunteering her labor on affordable-housing projects

ldquoItrsquos been amazing mdash the best thing Irsquove ever donerdquo she said

Alex Ciolko 24 of Buffalo New York is one of four ldquoroute leadersrdquo on the team She completed her masterrsquos degree in biomed-ical engineering this year and is preparing to start her career so she decided to spend the summer helping less fortunate people She previously participated on a Bike and Build project that involved cycling from Bar Harbor Maine to New York City Now shersquos helping the coast-to-coast team stay orga-nized and on track as a leader

ldquoI like being able to give back and not just be on a vacationrdquo Ciolko said

The experience over the past couple of years will inspire her to volunteer more throughout her life she said

Each of the Bike and Build teams under-takes a ldquoblitz buildrdquo project where they con-centrate for about five or so days on a specific house For this team that project was near Colorado Springs That meant they were out of the saddle of their bikes and their legs were well-rested when they tackled the east side of Independence Pass on Tuesday

It was a great team-building experience to make sure everyone reached the sum-mit said Ellie Trent 24 a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina and

another route leader The four route leaders take turns driving a 15-passenger van which pulls a trailer All 30 participants get to bring one piece of luggage They also transport sleeping and camping gear and coolers for food Rider-workers can ride in the van when they are sick or nursing an injury but they typically are expected to ride While 75 miles is the daily average on the road Trent said they have covered up to 113 miles in one day on this trip

Reaching Colorado and seeing the snow-capped mountains was a highlight of the cycling trip Trent said The group received a special greeting from Mother Nature at the top of Independence Pass

ldquoA giant hailstorm comes in and starts pelting usrdquo she said

The storm came on so fast and furious that some team members had to be shuttled off the summit to Aspen They were cheated out of the classic descent so they were hauled back to the summit by van the following day

Trentrsquos biography on the Bike and Build website shows that her group had covered 2451 of 4233 miles as of Thursday on Day 53 of an 83-day trip It also was their 15th day on a construction project They have enjoyed three rest days on the trip with no work and no pedaling

This is Trentrsquos second coast-to-coast tour with Bike and Build She picked this route because it goes through Salt Lake City where her parents met nearly 30 years ago The ex-perience has been so rewarding she said that she took a construction job with the commu-nity-service organization AmeriCorps She

Aspen Film hosts lsquoSouthpawrsquo sneak previews

The veteran commentator Larry Merchant said of the eternally corrupt yet captivating prizefighting business ldquoNothing will kill boxing and nothing can save itrdquo

The same might be said for boxing movies Even the good ones such as Antoine Fuquarsquos new ldquoSouthpawrdquo are riddled with cliche and melodrama But with the help of an inspiring training montage or two and a captivating lead performance such as Jake Gyllenhaalrsquos in ldquoSouthpawrdquo a by-the-numbers pugi-listic underdog story can still beat the odds and leave you cheering

The film which opens nationwide

Friday will play in two sneak previews at the Isis Theater on Tuesday

As ldquoSouthpawrdquo opens Gyllenhaalrsquos Billy Hope is on top of the world win-ning his 43rd straight fight defending his light-heavyweight title going home to his mansion and to his wife (Ra-chel McAdams) and his cute daugh-ter (Oona Laurene) and handing out designer watches to his entourage But he soon loses it all after a scuffle at a charity event turns tragic

He drinks and does drugs Banks take his house and his cars The government takes his daughter And his shady man-ager played by Curtis ldquo50 Centrdquo Jackson (a bankrupt boxing promoter in real life) ditches Hope for a rival

You can guess where it goes from

there Humbled Billy goes back to the old neighborhood (in this case Hellrsquos Kitchen) toils under the guidance of a gruff trainer (in this case a dependably dignified Forest Whitaker) and goes on a vision quest for his belt and his family

Conventional yes But with Gyl-lenhaal in the lead and Fuqua at the helm working from a script by ldquoSons of Anarchyrdquo creator Kurt Sutter ldquoSouth-pawrdquo does some magic in and out of the ring And if yoursquore a sucker for training montages (and who isnrsquot) the one here backed by a new Eminem song will knock you out

Whipping tried-and-true genre sto-ries into fighting shape is what Fuqua

ON THE ROAD with

JAMES SURLS

by ANDREW TRAVERS

SCULPTOR JAMES SURLS AND A TEAM OF MEN IN HARD HATS loaded one of his pieces onto a flatbed truck outside of his Carbondale studio last spring beginning its journey to a busy intersection in downtown Houston As the 3-plus ton 35-foot tall ldquoTree and Three Flowersrdquo went off on the road to Texas Surls also began a journey of his own with two young Colorado filmmakers

The acclaimed 71-year-old artist who has shown work in the Smithsonian the Guggenheim and in public spaces across the US had partnered with brothers Austin and

Maitland Lottimer to film the installation of ldquoTree and Three Flowersrdquo In a mini-van they followed it on the 18-wheeler out of the mountains and south to Houston strapping GoPro cameras to the truck and speeding ahead of it to film it barreling across western vistas and eventually past a ldquoWelcome to Texasrdquo sign

They then captured Surls at the dedication in April of last year alongside the mayor and local dignitaries

Once the piece was up and Surls returned home he asked the brothers to keep filming A year later their cameras are still rolling

The product of their initial partnership ldquoThe Journeyrdquo will screen on the opening night of Aspen Shortsfest By the end of this year the Lottimers expect to finish a feature-length documentary on Surls

ldquoI just want to be working with people who I trust their creative bentrdquo Surls told me in the twang hersquos held on to from his east Texas boyhood ldquoThese guys are so young (Maitland is 26 Austin 28) I donrsquot think theyrsquove reached full throttle Theyrsquore still trying to get the oxygen and gas burning at a good level I feel comfortable with that with growing with themrdquo

WORKSHOP REGISTRATION OPENS TODAY SUMMER WORKSHOPS



THE DEDICATED Justin Kauflin

by ANDREW TRAVERS

BEFORE THERE WERE SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR JAZZ instruction books on playing it and a professional class of musicians teaching it there was Clark Terry

The exuberant trumpet player from the end of World War II into the 21st century took on students and helped them find their own voices Among his first pupils were music-legends-to-be like Miles Davis and Quincy Jones His last was Justin Kauflin

Terryrsquos relationship with Kauflin an ascendant 28-year-old pianist was chronicled in the acclaimed 2014 documentary ldquoKeep On Keepinrsquo Onrdquo which let the world know about Kauflin and

helped the world celebrate Terry in the final months of his life Terry died in February

A few days after Terryrsquos funeral in Harlem Kauflin reflected on his mentorrsquos rich life and incalculable impact on jazz

ldquoItrsquos been tough but also you canrsquot help but be grateful for everythingrdquo Kauflin told me ldquoIt was a beautiful life It was great to see all the people out there to honor Clark I actually felt happy for him hellip At the end of folksrsquo lives they tend to feel forgotten But for Clark to have been surrounded by love for the last six months I thank God that was able to happen before he left when he was able to appreciate itrdquo

Kauflin has been listening to Terryrsquos

records he says ldquonon-stoprdquo since Terry died to keep his mentor mdash and his mentorrsquos ebullient spirit mdash around the young pianist as he prepares for some big steps in his own career and the honor of carrying on Terryrsquos legacy

On the heels of the popular run of ldquoKeep On Keepinrsquo Onrdquo mdash which won plaudits on the film festival circuit including the Best Documentary prize at Aspen Filmfest in October mdash Kauflin released the album ldquoDedicationrdquo in January He comes to the Wheeler Opera House March 27 in support of the record four days after an encore presentation of ldquoKeep On Keepinrsquo Onrdquo at the historic Aspen theater

lsquoLife Itselfrsquo about Ebert at Academy ScreeningsFilmmaker Steve James never

got the chance to conduct a traditional interview with Roger Ebert while making ldquoLife Itselfrdquo a documentary about the popu-lar film critic

The movie which plays to-day at Aspen Filmrsquos Academy Screenings opens with Ebert in a hospital room in the midst of the 11-year battle with cancer that had already taken his lower jaw and his ability to speak and would eventually kill him James is there with him and Ebertrsquos wife Chaz Ebert rarely makes it out of the hospital in the course of the film which flashes back to outline Ebertrsquos colorful life

The sections in the hospital mdash by turns funny and heartbreak-ing mdash transform the film from a by-the-numbers profile into a stunning look at death and dy-ing which celebrates life in the process

Ebertrsquos candid reflections at the end of his life come largely in the form of emails to James Their email exchanges are the narrative voice of much of the film

James didnrsquot begin the project with the intention of making himself a part of the film he said in an interview last week But with Ebertrsquos health declin-ing he was left with little choice

ldquoRoger passed away in the course of making the filmrdquo James said ldquoAnd when he did I realized that a substantial part of both my relationship to

Roger and what he had to say was contained in the emails because we never got a chance to do the formal sit-down in-terview we had planned to do once he was free and clear of the hospitalrdquo

Ebert is remarkably un-protective of his image in the movie A memorable if hard to watch scene early on shows a

nurse clearing his airway with a suction tube Afterward Ebert celebrates the footage in a note to James writing ldquoIrsquom happy we got a great thing that nobody ever seesrdquo

But James said Ebert and Chaz were hands-off about what the final cut of ldquoLife Itselfrdquo based on Ebertrsquos 2011 memoir of the same name would look like

During early discussions about the project Ebert formally gave up any editorial control of it though James still encouraged him to be a part of the creative process

ldquoI think about the process more as making a film with someone than on someonerdquo James said ldquoI think he took it to heart and felt free to offer his thoughts and ideas I never thought of it as just my filmrdquo

Ebertrsquos long-standing con-nection to Colorado mdash the Conference on World Affairs in Boulder which he attended annually for more than 40 years mdash became a platform for Ebert as a thinker and public intellec-tual on topics beyond film ldquoLife Itself rdquo uses the irreverent con-ference as a window into Ebertrsquos wide range of interests The

University of Colorado-Boul-der gathering helped feed the curiosity that brought him into journalism and fueled his prolif-ic career as a critic

ldquoThe great appeal of it was that he could go there and he didnrsquot have to talk about mov-iesrdquo James said ldquoHis breadth of knowledge carried him far and wide and he was a great talker The conference is full of great talk and nobody was better than Rogerrdquo

But ldquoLife Itself rdquo is no puff piece

As the editor of the student paper at the University of Il-linois at Urbana-Champaign in the early 1960s Ebert is described by one colleague as ldquotactless egotistical merciless and a showboatrdquo The film gives

AVH projects $100M in 2015 patient revenue

Aspen Valley Hospital is gearing up for its most lucrative year yet in terms of patient revenue based on its budget projections for 2015

Earlier this month the hospitalrsquos board of direc-tors approved a budget that projects $100 million in patient revenue next year That accounts for $277 million in inpatient revenue and $723 million in outpatient monies Itrsquos the first time in the hospitalrsquos history that itrsquos

projected revenue of at least $100 million said hospital spokeswoman Ginny Dyche

A number of factors are driving the uptick in pa-tient revenue said Hospi-tal CEO Dan Bonk Chief among them are return patients and added services and an increased volume in outpatient traffic he said

As a whole the hospital industry is seeing more day surgeries and fewer over-night stays among patients and Aspen Valley Hospital data reflect that

In 2009 AVHrsquos outpa-tient care accounted for

$508 million in revenue and itrsquos been gradual-ly climbing since then 2010 saw $536 million in outpatient revenue in 2011 it was $578 million 2012 accounted for $599 million and 2013 saw $631 million The hospital is projecting $683 million in outpatient revenue in 2014

ldquoA lot of things are done on an outpatient basis now even surgeryrdquo Bonk said

Inpatient revenue is pro-jected to total $258 mil-lion this year and itrsquos been

William H Macy looks through the

directorrsquos lensWilliam H Macy has directed his first film in ldquoRudder-

lessrdquo The actor 64 likens the experience to the Normandy invasion or to being hit by a truck He compares the logis-tical boondoggles of the independent film to trying to paint with a 50-foot brush while 100 people hold it

And yet he says hersquos hooked on directingldquoIrsquom going to be candid Itrsquos all I want to dordquo he saidThat doesnrsquot mean giving up acting completely he clar-

ifies mdash in fact the ever-prolific actor has four movies due out next year along with a new season of his Showtime se-ries ldquoShamelessrdquo But ldquoRudderlessrdquo is likely the beginning of a new phase for Macy mdash what he calls his ldquothird actrdquo mdash in which hersquoll be behind the camera often

ldquoIt was so out of my comfort zone so out of my wheel-house so much work and such intense work that it shook up my system in a delightful way and I havenrsquot felt so alive in yearsrdquo he said

The Oscar-nominated Emmy-winning actor brings his directorial debut to Paepcke Auditorium on Saturday for a preview screening presented by Aspen Film The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and is tentatively slated for an October theatrical release from Paramount and Samuel Goldwyn

Through most of his career Macy wasnrsquot interested in directing Though theyrsquore revered as the artists of film he couldnrsquot help but notice that directors spend months

longer working on a film than actors do that they put in much longer days get paid far less and get blamed when most anything goes wrong with a production

What drew him to get behind the camera finally was a curiosity about what it would feel like to tell a story with a full arc rather than just focusing on his role in a film

ldquoActing by definition is tiny little bitsrdquo he said ldquoWe donrsquot worry about the world We worry about the minutiae You do the scene thatrsquos in front of you with a very limited pur-

view The director on the other hand gets to tell the whole story He gets to tell the audience where to sit he gets to make sure the joke is set up and the punch line lands prop-erly and I wanted to do it myself after letting other people do it for years and years and yearsrdquo

While he hasnrsquot ventured into directing movies previous-ly he has had a taste of big-picture creativity by directing

plays and writing Hersquos been co-writing screenplays in partnership with writer-director Steven Schacter dating back to 1995rsquos ldquoAbove Suspicionrdquo

He also has grown adept at photography since he took it up as a hobby after the first of his two daughters was born in 2000

ldquoI thought lsquoI can compose a shot these are good pic-turesrsquordquo he said

Macy had been pushing another script and came close to getting it made as director but gave up after its financing fell apart twice at the last minute Then ldquoRudderlessrdquo came along

A musical drama the script was written by Jeff Robison and Casey Twenter of Oklahoma City When it reached Macyrsquos desk he said he was intrigued by its blend of drama hu-mor and music

ldquoItrsquos a significant story wersquore tellingrdquo he said ldquoBut with a lot of levityrdquo

He worked on the script with Robison and Twenter for more than six months and got producer Keith Kjarval on board They took a year to get it financed and then filmed it in 25 days in April 2013 when Macy had a break from ldquoShamelessrdquo

The film stars Billy Crudup as Sam a man ravaged by


ldquoRudderlessrdquo is a musical drama that features Billy Cruduprsquos characterrsquos band playing six full songs

ldquoIt was so out of my comfort zone so out of my wheelhouse so much work and

such intense work that it shook up my system in a delightful way and I havenrsquot felt so alive in yearsrdquo

Absurdly ShortShortsfest film tackles an Aspen artistrsquos art carnival

Pamela Josephrsquos long-running and ever-evolving trav-eling multimedia art show ldquoSideshow of the Absurdrdquo begs the question ldquoHow did she come up with this stuffrdquo

A pair of filmmakers have attempted to answer that question profiling the Aspen-based artist and her off- kilter creations in ldquoPamela Josephrsquos Sideshow of the Ab-surdrdquo which premieres Saturday at Shortsfest

The interactive exhibition inspired by carnivals and freak shows is as nostalgic as it is haunting mdash by turns wickedly amusing creepy whimsical and disturbing Joseph grew up in Connecticut where her grandparentsrsquo farm was regularly rented out to traveling circuses and freak shows The imagery of those spectacles from the 1940s stuck with her Born in Josephrsquos West Buttermilk studio ldquoSideshow of the Absurdrdquo uses the familiar imagery of old-time traveling circuses to explore themes that have interested her throughout her career including feminine empowerment and exploitation

ldquoWhen I went to the sideshows as a child these people had tremendous dignityrdquo she recalled recently over coffee at Victoriarsquos Espresso amp Wine Bar ldquoThey had more dignity than a lot of people in the audiencerdquo

In 1998 as she was contemplating a shift in artistic focus she began drawing the sideshow scenes from her memory

ldquoI realized I wanted to work in a lot of different medi-umsrdquo she explained ldquoSo the sideshow became a conceit for me about my feelings about society the environment animals mdash it opened up a huge door for merdquo

She wanted spinning wheels and flashing lights she

dreamed of a Dancing Three-Legged Alligator she imag-ined wood-burned images on a womanrsquos body in an old-style shooting-gallery boardwalk game an interactive Co-ney Island ball toss and she needed the sounds of carnival barkers and calliope music and women in peril and crying children But she didnrsquot know how to make any of of it

ldquoItrsquos better to be ignorant going into these thingsrdquo Joseph said ldquoIf you really knew what you were getting into you just wouldnrsquot do itrdquo

With the help of locals such as Tim Murray (ldquoHersquos like Rube Goldbergrdquo) Joseph jerry-rigged windshield wipers to initially create the moving parts of ldquoSideshowrdquo She learned new process such as carving wood She collected antiques and the detritus of carnivals past like merry-go-round uni-corns and repurposed them for the show As the concept grew she consulted with her partner Robert Brinker mul-timedia and tech experts around the US and a crew shersquos dubbed her ldquoart carniesrdquo to create her spectacular sculptur-al installation The biggest challenge was an Alien Fortune Teller piece which used digital technology to project a vid-eo performance by Joseph herself as the fortune teller onto a carved mannequin head When a visitor places a palm on the alienrsquos hand Josephrsquos ghostly visage spouts absurd for-tunes taken from world leaders and self-help books

ldquoThat took years from the concept to being able to do what I wanted to dordquo she explained ldquoIt was a huge explorationrdquo

She diligently researched carnivals along with the cul-tural baggage and archetypes behind their traditions

ldquoItrsquos all based on historical factrdquo she said ldquoThatrsquos been a fascinating aspect of itrdquo

The complexly rendered and multi-faceted pieces delve into the subjugation of women extinction of species

prejudice and tolerance On the surface though itrsquos one of the more child-friendly art shows yoursquoll find

ldquoEach piece has a lot of psychological meaning even though my granddaughter can walk in thererdquo Joseph said ldquoShersquos not going to get the sexual innuendordquo

ldquoSideshow of the Absurdrdquo was staged in its first iteration in a 2500-square-foot gallery at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in 2001 Itrsquos since been exhibited in 10 different locations as word of mouth about it has spread around the US The version captured in the new film is an immersive interactive show nearly three times the size of the original hosted by the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center in 2013

Joseph compares the show to an accordion growing in some spaces shrinking in others

Aspen Film the nonprofit that presents Shortsfest also had a role in making the film The organizationrsquos co-di-rector Laura Thielen introduced Joseph to filmmakers Tina Defelisiantonio and Jane C Wagner whose previous projects have tacked social-justice issues LGBT rights and sustainable energy Joseph trusted the pair to capture the essence of her ldquoSideshowrdquo and her life

ldquoI like the films theyrsquove been doing where itrsquos the human aspect and itrsquos kind of edgy which the lsquoSideshowrsquo is toordquo Joseph said

After spending her career speaking through her art however Joseph was wary of opening up about her person-al life with the documentarians The film draws a parallel between Josephrsquos divorce from her first husband and her artrsquos focus on feminine empowerment

ldquoThey always wanted to put in more personal thingsrdquo

WORKSHOP REGISTRATION OPENS JANUARY 2 SUMMER WORKSHOPS


Biking and building a legacy across the USItrsquos tough averaging 75 miles per day on a

road bicycle while enduring the heat of the Oklahoma plains and tackling the challenges of the Colorado mountains

Throw in eight hours of hard labor on home-construction sites during the off days and yoursquove got the ingredients for building quad and calf muscles and strong character

Thirty young men and women stopped in Basalt and Carbondale on Thursday and Friday to help on Habitat for Humanity Roaring Fork projects while pedaling their way across the country They are a team from the nonprofit organization Bike and Build All of the participants are between ages 19 and 26 with many of them in college and others doing good deeds before beginning their careers

The team departed from Charleston South Carolina on Memorial Day They plan to cover the 4233 miles to Santa Cruz Cali-fornia by Aug 14

To make their feat even more amazing the 30 participants raised about $150000 prior to the trip to construct an entire home for a needy family in Fountain Each member must raise at least $4500 before the start of the trip

Amana Carson 20 of West Chester Pennsylvania and a student at St Josephrsquos University said she had volunteered on Habitat for Humanity projects before but had never really cycled prior to this summer She decided it would be a nice to bike across America while volunteering her labor on affordable-housing projects

ldquoItrsquos been amazing mdash the best thing Irsquove ever donerdquo she said

Alex Ciolko 24 of Buffalo New York is one of four ldquoroute leadersrdquo on the team She completed her masterrsquos degree in biomed-ical engineering this year and is preparing to start her career so she decided to spend the summer helping less fortunate people She previously participated on a Bike and Build project that involved cycling from Bar Harbor Maine to New York City Now shersquos helping the coast-to-coast team stay orga-nized and on track as a leader

ldquoI like being able to give back and not just be on a vacationrdquo Ciolko said

The experience over the past couple of years will inspire her to volunteer more throughout her life she said

Each of the Bike and Build teams under-takes a ldquoblitz buildrdquo project where they con-centrate for about five or so days on a specific house For this team that project was near Colorado Springs That meant they were out of the saddle of their bikes and their legs were well-rested when they tackled the east side of Independence Pass on Tuesday

It was a great team-building experience to make sure everyone reached the sum-mit said Ellie Trent 24 a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina and

another route leader The four route leaders take turns driving a 15-passenger van which pulls a trailer All 30 participants get to bring one piece of luggage They also transport sleeping and camping gear and coolers for food Rider-workers can ride in the van when they are sick or nursing an injury but they typically are expected to ride While 75 miles is the daily average on the road Trent said they have covered up to 113 miles in one day on this trip

Reaching Colorado and seeing the snow-capped mountains was a highlight of the cycling trip Trent said The group received a special greeting from Mother Nature at the top of Independence Pass

ldquoA giant hailstorm comes in and starts pelting usrdquo she said

The storm came on so fast and furious that some team members had to be shuttled off the summit to Aspen They were cheated out of the classic descent so they were hauled back to the summit by van the following day

Trentrsquos biography on the Bike and Build website shows that her group had covered 2451 of 4233 miles as of Thursday on Day 53 of an 83-day trip It also was their 15th day on a construction project They have enjoyed three rest days on the trip with no work and no pedaling

This is Trentrsquos second coast-to-coast tour with Bike and Build She picked this route because it goes through Salt Lake City where her parents met nearly 30 years ago The ex-perience has been so rewarding she said that she took a construction job with the commu-nity-service organization AmeriCorps She

Aspen Film hosts lsquoSouthpawrsquo sneak previews

The veteran commentator Larry Merchant said of the eternally corrupt yet captivating prizefighting business ldquoNothing will kill boxing and nothing can save itrdquo

The same might be said for boxing movies Even the good ones such as Antoine Fuquarsquos new ldquoSouthpawrdquo are riddled with cliche and melodrama But with the help of an inspiring training montage or two and a captivating lead performance such as Jake Gyllenhaalrsquos in ldquoSouthpawrdquo a by-the-numbers pugi-listic underdog story can still beat the odds and leave you cheering

The film which opens nationwide

Friday will play in two sneak previews at the Isis Theater on Tuesday

As ldquoSouthpawrdquo opens Gyllenhaalrsquos Billy Hope is on top of the world win-ning his 43rd straight fight defending his light-heavyweight title going home to his mansion and to his wife (Ra-chel McAdams) and his cute daugh-ter (Oona Laurene) and handing out designer watches to his entourage But he soon loses it all after a scuffle at a charity event turns tragic

He drinks and does drugs Banks take his house and his cars The government takes his daughter And his shady man-ager played by Curtis ldquo50 Centrdquo Jackson (a bankrupt boxing promoter in real life) ditches Hope for a rival

You can guess where it goes from

there Humbled Billy goes back to the old neighborhood (in this case Hellrsquos Kitchen) toils under the guidance of a gruff trainer (in this case a dependably dignified Forest Whitaker) and goes on a vision quest for his belt and his family

Conventional yes But with Gyl-lenhaal in the lead and Fuqua at the helm working from a script by ldquoSons of Anarchyrdquo creator Kurt Sutter ldquoSouth-pawrdquo does some magic in and out of the ring And if yoursquore a sucker for training montages (and who isnrsquot) the one here backed by a new Eminem song will knock you out

Whipping tried-and-true genre sto-ries into fighting shape is what Fuqua

ON THE ROAD with

JAMES SURLS

by ANDREW TRAVERS

SCULPTOR JAMES SURLS AND A TEAM OF MEN IN HARD HATS loaded one of his pieces onto a flatbed truck outside of his Carbondale studio last spring beginning its journey to a busy intersection in downtown Houston As the 3-plus ton 35-foot tall ldquoTree and Three Flowersrdquo went off on the road to Texas Surls also began a journey of his own with two young Colorado filmmakers

The acclaimed 71-year-old artist who has shown work in the Smithsonian the Guggenheim and in public spaces across the US had partnered with brothers Austin and

Maitland Lottimer to film the installation of ldquoTree and Three Flowersrdquo In a mini-van they followed it on the 18-wheeler out of the mountains and south to Houston strapping GoPro cameras to the truck and speeding ahead of it to film it barreling across western vistas and eventually past a ldquoWelcome to Texasrdquo sign

They then captured Surls at the dedication in April of last year alongside the mayor and local dignitaries

Once the piece was up and Surls returned home he asked the brothers to keep filming A year later their cameras are still rolling

The product of their initial partnership ldquoThe Journeyrdquo will screen on the opening night of Aspen Shortsfest By the end of this year the Lottimers expect to finish a feature-length documentary on Surls

ldquoI just want to be working with people who I trust their creative bentrdquo Surls told me in the twang hersquos held on to from his east Texas boyhood ldquoThese guys are so young (Maitland is 26 Austin 28) I donrsquot think theyrsquove reached full throttle Theyrsquore still trying to get the oxygen and gas burning at a good level I feel comfortable with that with growing with themrdquo

WORKSHOP REGISTRATION OPENS TODAY SUMMER WORKSHOPS



THE DEDICATED Justin Kauflin

by ANDREW TRAVERS

BEFORE THERE WERE SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR JAZZ instruction books on playing it and a professional class of musicians teaching it there was Clark Terry

The exuberant trumpet player from the end of World War II into the 21st century took on students and helped them find their own voices Among his first pupils were music-legends-to-be like Miles Davis and Quincy Jones His last was Justin Kauflin

Terryrsquos relationship with Kauflin an ascendant 28-year-old pianist was chronicled in the acclaimed 2014 documentary ldquoKeep On Keepinrsquo Onrdquo which let the world know about Kauflin and

helped the world celebrate Terry in the final months of his life Terry died in February

A few days after Terryrsquos funeral in Harlem Kauflin reflected on his mentorrsquos rich life and incalculable impact on jazz

ldquoItrsquos been tough but also you canrsquot help but be grateful for everythingrdquo Kauflin told me ldquoIt was a beautiful life It was great to see all the people out there to honor Clark I actually felt happy for him hellip At the end of folksrsquo lives they tend to feel forgotten But for Clark to have been surrounded by love for the last six months I thank God that was able to happen before he left when he was able to appreciate itrdquo

Kauflin has been listening to Terryrsquos

records he says ldquonon-stoprdquo since Terry died to keep his mentor mdash and his mentorrsquos ebullient spirit mdash around the young pianist as he prepares for some big steps in his own career and the honor of carrying on Terryrsquos legacy

On the heels of the popular run of ldquoKeep On Keepinrsquo Onrdquo mdash which won plaudits on the film festival circuit including the Best Documentary prize at Aspen Filmfest in October mdash Kauflin released the album ldquoDedicationrdquo in January He comes to the Wheeler Opera House March 27 in support of the record four days after an encore presentation of ldquoKeep On Keepinrsquo Onrdquo at the historic Aspen theater

lsquoLife Itselfrsquo about Ebert at Academy ScreeningsFilmmaker Steve James never

got the chance to conduct a traditional interview with Roger Ebert while making ldquoLife Itselfrdquo a documentary about the popu-lar film critic

The movie which plays to-day at Aspen Filmrsquos Academy Screenings opens with Ebert in a hospital room in the midst of the 11-year battle with cancer that had already taken his lower jaw and his ability to speak and would eventually kill him James is there with him and Ebertrsquos wife Chaz Ebert rarely makes it out of the hospital in the course of the film which flashes back to outline Ebertrsquos colorful life

The sections in the hospital mdash by turns funny and heartbreak-ing mdash transform the film from a by-the-numbers profile into a stunning look at death and dy-ing which celebrates life in the process

Ebertrsquos candid reflections at the end of his life come largely in the form of emails to James Their email exchanges are the narrative voice of much of the film

James didnrsquot begin the project with the intention of making himself a part of the film he said in an interview last week But with Ebertrsquos health declin-ing he was left with little choice

ldquoRoger passed away in the course of making the filmrdquo James said ldquoAnd when he did I realized that a substantial part of both my relationship to

Roger and what he had to say was contained in the emails because we never got a chance to do the formal sit-down in-terview we had planned to do once he was free and clear of the hospitalrdquo

Ebert is remarkably un-protective of his image in the movie A memorable if hard to watch scene early on shows a

nurse clearing his airway with a suction tube Afterward Ebert celebrates the footage in a note to James writing ldquoIrsquom happy we got a great thing that nobody ever seesrdquo

But James said Ebert and Chaz were hands-off about what the final cut of ldquoLife Itselfrdquo based on Ebertrsquos 2011 memoir of the same name would look like

During early discussions about the project Ebert formally gave up any editorial control of it though James still encouraged him to be a part of the creative process

ldquoI think about the process more as making a film with someone than on someonerdquo James said ldquoI think he took it to heart and felt free to offer his thoughts and ideas I never thought of it as just my filmrdquo

Ebertrsquos long-standing con-nection to Colorado mdash the Conference on World Affairs in Boulder which he attended annually for more than 40 years mdash became a platform for Ebert as a thinker and public intellec-tual on topics beyond film ldquoLife Itself rdquo uses the irreverent con-ference as a window into Ebertrsquos wide range of interests The

University of Colorado-Boul-der gathering helped feed the curiosity that brought him into journalism and fueled his prolif-ic career as a critic

ldquoThe great appeal of it was that he could go there and he didnrsquot have to talk about mov-iesrdquo James said ldquoHis breadth of knowledge carried him far and wide and he was a great talker The conference is full of great talk and nobody was better than Rogerrdquo

But ldquoLife Itself rdquo is no puff piece

As the editor of the student paper at the University of Il-linois at Urbana-Champaign in the early 1960s Ebert is described by one colleague as ldquotactless egotistical merciless and a showboatrdquo The film gives

AVH projects $100M in 2015 patient revenue

Aspen Valley Hospital is gearing up for its most lucrative year yet in terms of patient revenue based on its budget projections for 2015

Earlier this month the hospitalrsquos board of direc-tors approved a budget that projects $100 million in patient revenue next year That accounts for $277 million in inpatient revenue and $723 million in outpatient monies Itrsquos the first time in the hospitalrsquos history that itrsquos

projected revenue of at least $100 million said hospital spokeswoman Ginny Dyche

A number of factors are driving the uptick in pa-tient revenue said Hospi-tal CEO Dan Bonk Chief among them are return patients and added services and an increased volume in outpatient traffic he said

As a whole the hospital industry is seeing more day surgeries and fewer over-night stays among patients and Aspen Valley Hospital data reflect that

In 2009 AVHrsquos outpa-tient care accounted for

$508 million in revenue and itrsquos been gradual-ly climbing since then 2010 saw $536 million in outpatient revenue in 2011 it was $578 million 2012 accounted for $599 million and 2013 saw $631 million The hospital is projecting $683 million in outpatient revenue in 2014

ldquoA lot of things are done on an outpatient basis now even surgeryrdquo Bonk said

Inpatient revenue is pro-jected to total $258 mil-lion this year and itrsquos been

William H Macy looks through the

directorrsquos lensWilliam H Macy has directed his first film in ldquoRudder-

lessrdquo The actor 64 likens the experience to the Normandy invasion or to being hit by a truck He compares the logis-tical boondoggles of the independent film to trying to paint with a 50-foot brush while 100 people hold it

And yet he says hersquos hooked on directingldquoIrsquom going to be candid Itrsquos all I want to dordquo he saidThat doesnrsquot mean giving up acting completely he clar-

ifies mdash in fact the ever-prolific actor has four movies due out next year along with a new season of his Showtime se-ries ldquoShamelessrdquo But ldquoRudderlessrdquo is likely the beginning of a new phase for Macy mdash what he calls his ldquothird actrdquo mdash in which hersquoll be behind the camera often

ldquoIt was so out of my comfort zone so out of my wheel-house so much work and such intense work that it shook up my system in a delightful way and I havenrsquot felt so alive in yearsrdquo he said

The Oscar-nominated Emmy-winning actor brings his directorial debut to Paepcke Auditorium on Saturday for a preview screening presented by Aspen Film The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and is tentatively slated for an October theatrical release from Paramount and Samuel Goldwyn

Through most of his career Macy wasnrsquot interested in directing Though theyrsquore revered as the artists of film he couldnrsquot help but notice that directors spend months

longer working on a film than actors do that they put in much longer days get paid far less and get blamed when most anything goes wrong with a production

What drew him to get behind the camera finally was a curiosity about what it would feel like to tell a story with a full arc rather than just focusing on his role in a film

ldquoActing by definition is tiny little bitsrdquo he said ldquoWe donrsquot worry about the world We worry about the minutiae You do the scene thatrsquos in front of you with a very limited pur-

view The director on the other hand gets to tell the whole story He gets to tell the audience where to sit he gets to make sure the joke is set up and the punch line lands prop-erly and I wanted to do it myself after letting other people do it for years and years and yearsrdquo

While he hasnrsquot ventured into directing movies previous-ly he has had a taste of big-picture creativity by directing

plays and writing Hersquos been co-writing screenplays in partnership with writer-director Steven Schacter dating back to 1995rsquos ldquoAbove Suspicionrdquo

He also has grown adept at photography since he took it up as a hobby after the first of his two daughters was born in 2000

ldquoI thought lsquoI can compose a shot these are good pic-turesrsquordquo he said

Macy had been pushing another script and came close to getting it made as director but gave up after its financing fell apart twice at the last minute Then ldquoRudderlessrdquo came along

A musical drama the script was written by Jeff Robison and Casey Twenter of Oklahoma City When it reached Macyrsquos desk he said he was intrigued by its blend of drama hu-mor and music

ldquoItrsquos a significant story wersquore tellingrdquo he said ldquoBut with a lot of levityrdquo

He worked on the script with Robison and Twenter for more than six months and got producer Keith Kjarval on board They took a year to get it financed and then filmed it in 25 days in April 2013 when Macy had a break from ldquoShamelessrdquo

The film stars Billy Crudup as Sam a man ravaged by


ldquoRudderlessrdquo is a musical drama that features Billy Cruduprsquos characterrsquos band playing six full songs

ldquoIt was so out of my comfort zone so out of my wheelhouse so much work and

such intense work that it shook up my system in a delightful way and I havenrsquot felt so alive in yearsrdquo

Absurdly ShortShortsfest film tackles an Aspen artistrsquos art carnival

Pamela Josephrsquos long-running and ever-evolving trav-eling multimedia art show ldquoSideshow of the Absurdrdquo begs the question ldquoHow did she come up with this stuffrdquo

A pair of filmmakers have attempted to answer that question profiling the Aspen-based artist and her off- kilter creations in ldquoPamela Josephrsquos Sideshow of the Ab-surdrdquo which premieres Saturday at Shortsfest

The interactive exhibition inspired by carnivals and freak shows is as nostalgic as it is haunting mdash by turns wickedly amusing creepy whimsical and disturbing Joseph grew up in Connecticut where her grandparentsrsquo farm was regularly rented out to traveling circuses and freak shows The imagery of those spectacles from the 1940s stuck with her Born in Josephrsquos West Buttermilk studio ldquoSideshow of the Absurdrdquo uses the familiar imagery of old-time traveling circuses to explore themes that have interested her throughout her career including feminine empowerment and exploitation

ldquoWhen I went to the sideshows as a child these people had tremendous dignityrdquo she recalled recently over coffee at Victoriarsquos Espresso amp Wine Bar ldquoThey had more dignity than a lot of people in the audiencerdquo

In 1998 as she was contemplating a shift in artistic focus she began drawing the sideshow scenes from her memory

ldquoI realized I wanted to work in a lot of different medi-umsrdquo she explained ldquoSo the sideshow became a conceit for me about my feelings about society the environment animals mdash it opened up a huge door for merdquo

She wanted spinning wheels and flashing lights she

dreamed of a Dancing Three-Legged Alligator she imag-ined wood-burned images on a womanrsquos body in an old-style shooting-gallery boardwalk game an interactive Co-ney Island ball toss and she needed the sounds of carnival barkers and calliope music and women in peril and crying children But she didnrsquot know how to make any of of it

ldquoItrsquos better to be ignorant going into these thingsrdquo Joseph said ldquoIf you really knew what you were getting into you just wouldnrsquot do itrdquo

With the help of locals such as Tim Murray (ldquoHersquos like Rube Goldbergrdquo) Joseph jerry-rigged windshield wipers to initially create the moving parts of ldquoSideshowrdquo She learned new process such as carving wood She collected antiques and the detritus of carnivals past like merry-go-round uni-corns and repurposed them for the show As the concept grew she consulted with her partner Robert Brinker mul-timedia and tech experts around the US and a crew shersquos dubbed her ldquoart carniesrdquo to create her spectacular sculptur-al installation The biggest challenge was an Alien Fortune Teller piece which used digital technology to project a vid-eo performance by Joseph herself as the fortune teller onto a carved mannequin head When a visitor places a palm on the alienrsquos hand Josephrsquos ghostly visage spouts absurd for-tunes taken from world leaders and self-help books

ldquoThat took years from the concept to being able to do what I wanted to dordquo she explained ldquoIt was a huge explorationrdquo

She diligently researched carnivals along with the cul-tural baggage and archetypes behind their traditions

ldquoItrsquos all based on historical factrdquo she said ldquoThatrsquos been a fascinating aspect of itrdquo

The complexly rendered and multi-faceted pieces delve into the subjugation of women extinction of species

prejudice and tolerance On the surface though itrsquos one of the more child-friendly art shows yoursquoll find

ldquoEach piece has a lot of psychological meaning even though my granddaughter can walk in thererdquo Joseph said ldquoShersquos not going to get the sexual innuendordquo

ldquoSideshow of the Absurdrdquo was staged in its first iteration in a 2500-square-foot gallery at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in 2001 Itrsquos since been exhibited in 10 different locations as word of mouth about it has spread around the US The version captured in the new film is an immersive interactive show nearly three times the size of the original hosted by the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center in 2013

Joseph compares the show to an accordion growing in some spaces shrinking in others

Aspen Film the nonprofit that presents Shortsfest also had a role in making the film The organizationrsquos co-di-rector Laura Thielen introduced Joseph to filmmakers Tina Defelisiantonio and Jane C Wagner whose previous projects have tacked social-justice issues LGBT rights and sustainable energy Joseph trusted the pair to capture the essence of her ldquoSideshowrdquo and her life

ldquoI like the films theyrsquove been doing where itrsquos the human aspect and itrsquos kind of edgy which the lsquoSideshowrsquo is toordquo Joseph said

After spending her career speaking through her art however Joseph was wary of opening up about her person-al life with the documentarians The film draws a parallel between Josephrsquos divorce from her first husband and her artrsquos focus on feminine empowerment

ldquoThey always wanted to put in more personal thingsrdquo
