DIARY: Sallie Harmsen

2009-10-23T10:40:00.000-07:00

It's 2005 I'm in the final year of Filmschool, I've written a screenplay for a short movie called 'Samson' and I'm looking for an actress.

I remember seeing a cute movie on tv called 'Snacken' (by David Lammers) with Sallie Harmsen in it and I thought that's the one! But I didn't know how to contact her.

The next day I see her in the supermarket!!! Of course I ask immediately if she want to act in my movie and she did.

She's now one of the upcoming actresses and I believe she will make it big time!

Also be aware of the other actor: Roemer Prins (in the movie he's 7) he's the one I wrote the script for, a natural talent!!

You can watch the film here.

Ofcourse you can't fit South Africa in a nutshell! And this trip has been too short to see

enough of this wonderful country, but I'll give you some highlights!

* The Workshop I did with the band at the Moses Mololekwa Arts foundation in the Township Tembisa, Johannesburg.

The children were all so talented, especially 16 year old sax player Siabonga. He learned how to play from a book from the library and by listening to jazz musicians. He's absolutely amazing!

* Performing at the "Joy of Jazz festival" in Johannesburg with Siabonga as our special guest.

* Performing at the Voorkamerfest in Darling in the livingroom of June and Francois on their beautiful farm with the million animals including a baby pig called Edward.

On the video (above) you see him walking through the living room.

* Performing in the township in Darling with a.o. Leine, Oleg Fateev and Fay Lovski!

Now I see this picture, I remember my personal prehistoric era.

The time when I was collecting bones for a glow-in-the-dark T-rex.

An awesome time. The skull came with the first issue of a dinosaur magazine for only FL. 1,50 so I begged my mom to subscribe to get all the bones... she did. Then the 15 other issues appeared to be FL 7,- per issue (sorry mom). And by the time I got the whole T-rex the skull was not as bright as the tail... nonetheless I wish I still had it!

I'm so tired, slept for two hours last night, 'cause I thought I'd be wise to take an early flight to Stockholm (6.55 AM)... not so wise after North Sea Jazz... Nonetheless we, producer and co-writer Johan and I managed to record 4 new songs (demoish and rough!) and I'm very surprised by the way he fills in the blank spots in my songs.

DIARY: I love the Montreal Jazz festival!!!

2009-07-06T04:45:00.000-07:00

Two years ago we played on the same square as this year, but now we played on the biggest stage of the two stages. It was amazing then, so I was a little nervous about screwing up the good memories I had... Bigger stage, higher expectations, more people, bigger everything... it couldn't be as magical as last time.

But the 1st show at 8pm was so cool! Heavy rain fall and still the square was filled with people (with umbrellas), unbelievable! People can give me energy and can make me feel at home on stage so I can feel free to do what I want ... It was definitely the case here, so I decided to do an umbrella dance!

2nd show that night, no rain but even better!

Do I need to say more??

FOUND: When I'm older

Drinking vodka around the bonfire... talking about eh.. things you talk about when you're in this situation... In reality I'm still looking for a house. Thanks ? for the pictures.

With Room Eleven I play on the 1st of july on Toronto Jazz festival and on the 3rd on the world famous Montreal Jazz festival!! I'm so excited to play here again (4th time already)! This is my favourite country in the world, cause people are friendly and open, they have a lot of space and that's how they think (spacious) and they're really into jazz music... and most importantly, people listen when a band's playing.

Love to generalise; Canadians, Japanese, Germans, Belgians... are the better listeners. Although I'm not sure about the Hell's Angels in these countries.
