~_ Time is All You‘ve Got Brigitte Berman documentary on Artie Shaw outstanding and big band legend Artie Shaw have something in common. love jazrz, and they love Artie Time Is All You‘ve Got, shown recently at the Princess Cinema, with funds going to VOICE in aid of hearingâ€"impaired children, won Berman an Oscar last April for best documentary. Shot independently with a sample $250,000 budget, cast and crew of "good friends," and plenty of Berman elbow grease, Time is a skillful mix of old and Berman, through extensive reâ€" search and a little chutzpah, found neverâ€"beforeâ€"seen footage of Shaw‘s earlier days, courtesy of band member bassist Sid Weiss‘ eight mm camera which created some precious afterâ€" noonâ€"inâ€"theâ€"park home movie folly, in addition to clips with all Shaw‘s various bands. Time also features candid exâ€" clusive chats with Shaw and his closest associates, including Hoagy Carmichael,. the late Buddy Rich and Mel Torme. Berman has given the world Shaw, at his various habitats, his relationships with the band, and the racist slur (Billie Holiday, Roy Elderidge), his much publiâ€" cized marriages (eight in total), his view of the world and his private dreams. _ For Berman, Artie and Oscar are a dream come true. 227 King Street West, P.O.

Berman, originally from Gerâ€" many, began film s_}_udy_ at under distinguished prof Peter Harcourt, who first interested her in film editing technique. She then found her way to Toronto as Berman progressed at a high speed to become a producâ€" er/director of numerous projâ€" Time took three years of exâ€" tensive travelling and one year of editing. Berman first conâ€" vinced Shaw to do the film while wo king on another documentary on young cornetist Bix Beiderâ€" becie, who played with Shaw a short time but died tragically at age 28. Berman embarked on this monumental task while still working as producer at the She interviewed Shaw during the Beiderbecke piece, and was instantly intrigued by the strange contrast of these two musicians, Beiderbecke‘s indifâ€" ference to life versus Shaw‘s lust for life. Berman decided to tell Shaw‘s incredible life story, "as a bookend to Beiderbecke." Like Shaw, Berman is not afraid to take risks. Feeling the excitement and the importance of this next project, she quit the CBC. Not an easy decision, but it was one she had to make. Berman wanted to "go for it." "It came to the point that either you are always going to do like that, partly work on your own film, partly do your fullâ€"time CONESTOGA SAILING SCHOOL offers instruction for children (ages 10â€"16) in two week long day camp tormat.

The paycheck goes, everything goes, and your whole lifestyle gets cut down, but it‘s worth it. You begin to breathe." Berman has caught the soul of Shaw, and he willingly discussed his eight marriages with tact and candor, to screen sirens Ava Gardner, Lana Turner (six months), and his longest partâ€" nership with actress Evelyn Keyes, who actually provided humorous, entirely moving acâ€" counts of the private Shaw. Her recent Princess Cinema showcase and discussion were a refreshing detour, being able to help area friends John and Sharon Bergen and their hearâ€" ingâ€"impaired son. The Bergens wanted to throw a benefit, and asked Berman if she would agree to show Artie as a fund raiser. "Of course I was going to do it. It‘s something I believe in, and they are very close friends, so you do these things. It‘s nice to have a film you can do it with." Artie Shaw once said, ‘"The more you know about everything, the more rich anything you do will Brigitte Berman and Artie Shaw share that common thread and have created a magic music moment that will last forever, a joy for big band fans, a lesson in life for every human mind, from two phenomenal artists, who have dedicated time and love in each frame.
