CinemaSavannah Presents A Video and Live Music Event withe Elli Perry

In our continuous commitment to promote local artists in film and music, CinemaSavannah is honored to feature the work of Elli Perry, whose genre-defying singing can move effortlessly from rock and blues to ambient indie and everything in between. A consummate artist, she also produces visual art, costume designs, and music videos.

Our special program will include a screening of four music videos from Elli’s forthcoming record GHOST TALKER—videos that have begun to garner nominations and accolades at international film festivals—followed by a live concert with her band, featuring Savannah musicians Andrew Sovine, Dylan Puckett, and Jalen Reyes. After the screening, Elli joins directors Drew Cullen Miller and Olivia Ludwick for a conversation and audience Q&A exploring the creative process behind the videos and their DIY production. The event will last 90 to 100 minutes.
Tickets are $15 at door or buy early at www.cinemasavannah.com

Elli Perry began her career as a singer/songwriter/guitarist by sneaking onto barroom stages as a tenacious 12-year old. During the subsequent twenty years, she independently released multiple albums of original material, designed and co-directed award-winning music videos, wrote charting songs for other artists, was awarded several artists development grants, and toured aggressively across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Until she was run over by a minivan. A woman who was texting and driving struck Elli while she was on her bicycle, resulting in a traumatic spinal injury that damaged her voice, impacted her mobility, and brought her touring career to a halt. Her forthcoming record GHOST TALKER was written and recorded over the years she spent recovering from that accident. From ambient, alternative indie to Southern Gothic folk and experimental 90s-influenced rock, the thread of continuity throughout Elli Perry’s stylistic twists and turns is the power of her live performance. On stage, she may be a melancholy mesmerist, a ballsy chanteuse, or a one-woman vocal wrecking crew- sometimes all in the same note. Hers is a raw and arresting presence; whether alone with her guitar or as the powerhouse front woman of her band.
