Directed by Robert Ross Parker and featuring Ryan McCarthy, Matt Citron, Colleen Werthmann & Jamie Ann Romero, THE CALAMITY takes place as a deadly plague sweeps across the country, spawning an epidemic of paranoia and fear. When one small town shuts its doors to the outside world, its residents realize that the cost of survival may be higher than they thought. Will they trade their freedoms, their loyalties to one another, and their dignity to survive?

Basement Tapes Tour

Howard and his band embark on a Northeast tour next month, performing his Basmenet Tapes Project in select theaters in New England. The tour coincides with the release of the complete, original Basement Tapes, recorded by Bob Dylan and The Band in 1967 -- music that has been bootlegged for almost forty years, and the inspiration behind Howard's project.
