New York, NY (Top40 Charts) ABOUT STARVING THE BEAST:
This documentary examines the on-going power struggle on college campuses across the nation as political and market-oriented forces push to disrupt and reform America�s public universities. The film documents a philosophical shift that seeks to reframe public higher education as a �value proposition� to be borne by the beneficiary of a college degree rather than as a �public good� for society. Financial winners and losers emerge in a struggle poised to profoundly change public higher education. The film focuses on dramas playing out at the University of Wisconsin, University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, Louisiana
State University, University of
Texas and
Texas A&M.

Called �the quintessential modern composer� by the London Independent, Austin-based composer/bandleader Graham Reynolds creates, performs and records music for film, theater, dance, rock clubs and concert halls with collaborators ranging from Richard Linklater and Jack

With Golden Arm Trio, Reynolds has repeatedly toured the country and released five critically acclaimed albums including the simultaneous release of �The Difference Engine: A Triple Concerto� and �DUKE!

Director of the 501(c)3 Golden Hornet Project with
Peter Stopschinski, Reynolds has produced more than fifty concerts of world premiere alt-classical music by more than sixty composers, as well as five symphonies, two concertos and countless chamber pieces of his own. With Forklift Danceworks, Reynolds has scored pieces involving 18 trash trucks, 200 two-steppers and a solo piece for traffic cop. Graham is an active company member, sound designer, and composer with the internationally acclaimed Rude Mechanicals and resident composer with Salvage Vanguard Theater.
