TRAVEL SONGS: PERU WINS Area music and documentary group gets an international award Travel Songs, a Wilmington-based organization of musicians and filmmakers, recently won the Audience Appreciation Award at the 2015 Folk Music Film Festival for their documentary Travel Songs: Peru. The festival was held in Kathmandu, Nepal, and Travel Songs member Tyler Holloway was there to accept the award. Travel Songs: Peru, the groupâs first documentary, was filmed in summer 2013 and premiered last December at Theater N in Wilmington. Through it, crew members for this filmâproducer Zachary Humenik; photographer and score director Samuel Nobles; camera operators George Murphy and Colin Shalo; sound engineer Tyler Holloway, and production assistant Tyler Doherty âaim to bridge cultural gaps and create a common ground through documenting art forms from around the world. âI was amazed to see that the standing-room-only crowd, consisting of filmmakers, academics, journalists, and a couple of hundred school children, were so enthralled by an English film,â says Holloway. âThe crowd went silent as they were drawn into the Peruvian world. This reaction was very special to meâ it exemplifies the mission of Travel Songs to connect cultures through music and reinforced that music is a universal language.â Adds Humenik: âI would like to think that people can feel the film and see the passion that went into it. I think we did well to connect with people on an intimate level. We got great access, had a great team, and I think the people we interviewed and met with really trusted us to share their stories in a way that felt real. Thatâs importantâpeople can tell when something feels real.â Travel Songs is in the process of registering as a nonprofit organization to enhance funding for films, and to expand charitable giving programs. The goal is to establish initiatives in each country Travel Songs films in, promoting local musical styles and cultural arts programs.
