The LDS Film Festival selected Sanctuary, a film about Rulon Brown and Mormon musical practice, for multiple screenings during the festival, January 25 through 28, 2012 at the SCERA Center in Orem, Utah.

“I’m thrilled the film will show alongside work from some of the most creative thinkers on LDS topics,” says Rulon of the honor. “The LDS Film Festival is a really big deal in Mormon cinema and since Sanctuary is all about LDS musical worship, I’m eager to see how people react to it in the screenings.” (more…)

Why can’t we all just get along for the holidays?
Rulon Brown’s festive new spoof tells us why not. Get your free download of ThanksOweenEasterNukkah at www.rulonbrown.com/music.

ThanksOweenEasterNukkah is a campy croon inspired by Christmas jazz from the 1950s and features the vocal melodrama of Sheila Moss. Rulon wrote and recorded the song in just one day way back in late November 2010. But as anyone with the holiday spirit will tell you, that is simply not enough time to market and consume holiday cheer!

From our family to yours, we invite you to share in the warmth and spirit of the Holiday season by gifting the free MP3 (AKA indie-artist marketing device) to your friends, family, loved ones and enemies.

Happy ThanksOweenEasterNukkah RamadaKwanzaMas!

Sanctuary features Rulon’s original music and performances by the acclaimed Total Experience Gospel Choir.

Sanctuary is also an official selection of the Faith Film Festival in New York. The festival runs all summer via web streaming, and TV (NET Time Warner cable channel 97 and Cablevision channel 30) and will conclude with theatrical screenings (TBA). The Faith Film Festival schedule will be available here.

I recently created a galactic opera theme for Prop Group’s forthcoming iPhone game, Space Viking. The game is due out this summer. Thanks again to co-collaborator, Mike Weiser, and lead developer, Rod Strougo for bringing me in on the project.

On a geeky-cool side note, Rod is literally writing the book on Cocos2D development for iPhone and iPad and will be speaking at the Voices That Matter iPhone Developers Conference, April 8-10 in Seattle. See ya there!
