Filmmaker Christopher Aylward was invited to appear on the locally-produced music show, BS Live Rocks with Bobby, Shane and Kendal. The show has been an important part of the music community here in Niagara.
Hockey talk, on a non-hockey show.
Naturally, there was a reason for the invite. The Hockey Film has begun post-production (while winding down production) and music is a key aspect to making this film feel right. Aylward has tried numerous times, albeit unsuccessfully, to get local talents to become involved with the production. The filmmaker envisioned two possible scenarios. The first, would have local singers and bands submit tracks for consideration of being included in the film.
The second, would be to have someone score parts of the film. Anyone working in the film industry knows two things about music; It’s extremely crucial to marrying the right audio with the right visuals. It’s also extremely expensive to pay for music rights, especially for an independent filmmaker.
Connecting artists.
Aylward was thrilled that his longtime friend, and co-creator of BS Live, Bobby, worked on having him on the show. “It’s a chance to get the word out there and hopefully become connected with musicians local to Niagara. What better way to showcase the many various artists than to share it within my film.”, said Aylward when asked about the spot on the show.

As the film continues to push forward, nearly ready to have our Narrator begin voicing the film, Aylward excitedly works on finishing the final two parts in the film, which should be complete by April. Then the film officially wraps and goes 100% into post-production with hopes of being received well upon its eventual release.
More to come.
