The Small Hours: A simple love story… Rebecca Faulkenberry @beccafaulken

February 6, 2012

Rebecca Faulkenberry has co-produced, with “Treehouse Productions,” a dreamy-eyed and romantic short clip starring two of her colleagues from Broadway’s spectacular “Spider-man: Turn off the Dark” musical  – Natalie Lomonte and Christopher Tierney.

Set on an empty NYC Subway line, the scene slips between a timeless, and nostalgic black & white scenario to a modern day, monotonous commute and a chance encounter that is vitalized by a young couple’s fantasies.

All to the tune of  Frank Sinatra‘s timeless voice “In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning.”

Space and time, sliding doors …

… the unfulfiled hope and dreams that breath life into our very souls.

Written and Directed By Rebecca Faulkenberry
Filmed By Sam Gooley
Edited and Produced By Treehouse Productions

    “The Warwick Project” #Bermuda – Marine Archaeological Excavations 2011 @BIOSstation

    February 5, 2012

    The Warwick was a 16th century English Merchantman which sank in Castle Harbour, Bermuda in 1619

    On October 20th, 1619, en route to Jamestown Virginia, the merchant ship “Warwick” belonging to Sir Robert Rich, the Earl of Warwick made a scheduled stop in Bermuda. The Warwick’s arrival was an important event for the island. On that voyage, the ship was charged with delivering Captain Nathaniel Butler, the new Governor of the nascent colony. Apart from delivering Butler, the Warwick was to carry supplies and settlers to the struggling colony at Jamestown, Virginia, and collect colonial products, mostly tobacco, for return to England.

    While the Warwick was in port, a devastating hurricane wreaked havoc on the islands of Bermuda. Amongst the victims of the tempest, was the Warwick which sank at its anchorage in Castle Harbour. (P. Bojakowski)

    Almost 400 years later, the National Museum of Bermuda, Texas A&M and the University of Southampton are undertaking a three year project lead by Piotr Bojakowski, in a joint educational initiative with the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences and students from the BIOS Ocean Academy to scientifically excavate the sunken remains of the Warwick.
    The Warwick is located in the shallow, protected waters of Castle Harbour. A good portion of the starboard side of the ship is still preserved from near the keel to an upper deck and has never been fully excavated, recorded, or analyzed until now.

    A shipwreck afforded settlers an opportunity to better their lives with salvaged goods. And most Bermuda settlers were involved in wrecking-no matter what their station in life. Even Nathaniel Butler (Governor of Bermuda 1619–1622) got into the act.Butler began his career in Bermuda, ironically, with a shipwreck. In 1619, the Bermuda Company sent him to the island aboard the Warwick. The ship, owned by the Earl of Warwick, went down in Castle Harbour. –
