Mosdeux’s Resonare

Mosdeux’s Resonare
Posted by tayler November 13, 2006

On Tuesday, November 14, Mosdeux is releasing a remake of the first film Mosdeux’s founders, Chad W. Taylor and Wayne Betts Jr., produced together. What started as an short film to experiment with a new camera, friends’ responses varied in interpretations of what drove a burning desire.

Resonare is not a film where you are given questions, and some of them are answered, and others unanswered. This is an art film intended to leave you with all questions unanswered. When the film ends, your interpretation may be different than the next person with whom you watched it.

Watch and enjoy the wonderful cinematic effects we all have known to come from Mosdeux. Keep your mind uninterrupted and clear. You will be thrown for twists, because you find yourself trying to understand things as the film moves between scenes, but the next throws you back to square one. At the end, it all may make sense, or it may not.

Like apples, this film pleases different tastes. Resonare was not created to satisfy every audience’s taste. If you like it, it will be for one of many reasons, or flavors. Keep your eyes and, more importantly, mind open to see what touches you the most.

I will be posting my interpretation in days following the film release.

Tribute to Sandy Ewan

In Memoriam

Alexander H. "Sandy" Ewan

(pictured with his wife, Teddy)

At 4:42 p.m., 9 November 2006, Sandy passed away peacefully at the
Washington Adventist Hospital after being in a coma since early
Saturday morning.

Sandy was born on 29 May 1940 in Washington, DC. He attended the
Kendall School in Washington, DC. He joined the International
Typographers Union (ITU) where he worked at the Washington Post, New
York Times, and finally at the Government Printing Office (GPO) where
he retired in 1996. While at GPO, he established the Gallaudet
University Bison Booster Club. Upon his retirement, he "un-retired"
and worked full-time as the Executive Director for the Booster Club.
He "re-retired" in 2002.

While at Gallaudet, he was loved and respected by the student body and
the community. His work with the Bison Booster Club resulted in the
bleachers at the Hotchkiss Football Field, the running track, the
prestigious Hall of Fame room at the Gallaudet Field House, as well
with numerous contributions to the Gallaudet Athletic Department
including the growing membership of the Bison Booster Club. His
proudest achievement was the installation of the hardwood floor in the
Field House.

Sandy was a member of the National Association of the Deaf, the
Maryland Association of the Deaf, the University of Maryland's Terrapin
Club as well as being involved with numerous activities and
organizations for the deaf. In particular, he was very involved with
the National Captioning Institute in the early 1980s where he was part
of the group that broke through the barrier to begin closed-captioning
on television including a massive protest against Columbia Broadcasting
System (CBS). He also was a past-President of the Metropolitan
Washington Association for the Deaf (MWAD). He was one of the few
individuals within the deaf community to be conferred with honorary
memberships in the Kappa Gamma and the Alpha Sigma Pi Fraternities at
Gallaudet. This prestigious privilege is usually reserved for any male
president of Gallaudet or the spouse of a female president.

Sandy loved sports, whether it was televised or being at a sporting
event. In addition to being a fan of sports, he was the head coach
for the MWAD basketball team, a basketball assistant coach, and a
baseball head coach at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD).
He was also the team manager for the District of Columbia Club for the
Deaf (DCCD) men's basketball team when they won their first and only
American Athletic Association for the Deaf (AAAD) championship in 1965.

He was an extremely loyal season ticket holder with the Washington
Redskins along with the University of Maryland's football and men's and
women's basketball programs. He was able to attend the NCAA Final Four
games where the University of Maryland's Men's Basketball team won
their first-ever national championship in 2001 at Atlanta, Georgia. He
was very happy to have watched the women's team win their first-ever
national championship in 2006 at Boston, Massachusetts on television.

Another love of his was baseball. He was a die-hard Boston Red Sox
fan. After years of frustration in seeing the Curse of the Bambino
plague the Red Sox, he was full of joy when the team won its first
World Series after 84 years. He was a die-hard Washington Senators fan
until they moved to Texas. He was very thrilled with baseball's return
to Washington with the Washington Nationals.

In August 2006, Sandy traveled for the first time outside of the 48
states of the United States for a much-deserved vacation in Hawai'i and
experiencing paradise. This trip was a very wonderful one for him and
Teddy. He could not stop talking about his trip after his return.

The family wants to thank everyone who has shown their support to them
in their time of sadness but they know that Sandy will love it if his
passing was seen as a celebration of his life, as he lived it to the
fullest possible.

Sandy is survived by his wife, Teddy and his two children,
Karl and Darlene.
