About the film

Tammy Hall: Reflections - In this film of jazz favorites and original compositions, the musical artistry of jazz pianist Tammy Hall (captured live in concert at the famed Yoshi's Jazz House) is combined with cinematography by the elfenworks team and visuals by master editor/animator Tim Schaller. The blending of Hall's performance with dream-like imagery invite you to escape into a world of visual metaphor inspired and driven by the emotional qualities evoked by the themes of the music. "Tammy Hall: Reflections," directed by Lauren Speeth, received 2006 Summit and Telly Awards, and was selected by KCSM 91.1 as a thank-you gift for its 2006 member pledge drive. More information about this film is available in our film detail page and the film's many press releases including festival notices and awards.
