Watch URTV ANYWHERE in the world!

2008-10-08T14:14:54-05:00

URTV has now added a multimillion dollar CDN (content distribution network) or… actually, we’re renting time on it. :-) BUT, the result is we are streaming LIVE worldwide now and hundreds of people can watch us at the same time without slowdown of the signal!

Let’s talk about “Anywhere, USA”

2007-12-28T13:04:45-05:00

Formerly known as Asheville: The Movie, this film was shot more-or-less entirely in Asheville. It was recently announced that the film was selected by Sundance Film Festival to screen in their Dramatic Competition.

Director Anthony “Chusy” Haney-Jardine has been fairly quiet about the production, and even the film’s website is devoid of concrete information about the film.

So, until the film is released some time in 2008, all we can do is gossip about it. Any thoughts, theories or insights?

One of my heroes.
I’ll be watching Cool Hand Luke tonight, the first Newman film I ever saw and that endeared him to me forever. After that, The Hustler.

Godspeed Paul.
