From ANDRAS JONES: ALANA WAKSMAN is a filmmaker living in Missoula. She is the director of HERMINA JEAN‘s new music video (coming soon). Her latest project, WE BURN LIKE THIS, is currently in their fundraising and casting phase. From the film’s website:
“Amidst rising anti-Semitism in Billings, Montana, Rae, a 22 year old Jewish girl and descendent of Holocaust survivors uncovers issues of self worth, addiction, and buried childhood trauma which she must learn to face and heal.
WE BURN LIKE THIS is a subjective, poetic, and internal drama about the historical trauma that gets handed down between three generations of women. We follow Rae on her journey towards self love and understanding”.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
RAE – LEAD ROLE (early 20s, Polish Jewish) is a smart woman on the brink of becoming. She’s a little lost, a little reckless, and wants more out of life. Lately, she’s been pushing every envelope she can find. Her desperation for more manifests in self-destructive choices that she may or may not be able to repair.
MAGGIE – SUPPORTING ROLE (40s, Polish Jewish) Rae’s mom. Maggie is a single mother who started young and was never able to fully grow up. She’s doing her best, which is not quite enough these days, but desires more than anything to make Rae happy.
WOLF – SUPPORTING ROLE (40s-50s) is a dealer. He is the kind of guy who would sell to teens. He’s seen better days, and grapples with regret. He means well, ultimately, and his sensitivity comes through in his relationship with Rae.
POP ORACLE Song of The Day (April 10, 2019): MR. JONES & THE PREVIOUS – “Get Normal (LIVE)”
Hi
Wondering how you’re doing
down there
Getting too much sun on your skin
How much are their eyes paying
you to get into what you are
getting in
I was a long time ago now when
we thought we could work it out
Your arms wrapped around my
knees, I knew I had to set you free
Were you calling just to say hi?
Was there something else on your
mind? My love is a little lost, not
the same but it’s not gone
I know I’m not allowed to call you
on the phone but I’m getting tired
of being either loved or gone
I know I’m not allowed to stop by
your home but I’m getting tired of
being either loved or gone
Were you calling just to say hi?
Was there something else on your
mind? My Love is a little lost, not
the same but it’s not gone
