In the Matter of: Application Serial No. 85/879,472 Published in the Official Gazette July 9, 2013

STEVE HABERICHTER, ) ) Opposer, ) ) v. ) Opposition No.______) GEARHEAD ENTERPRISES LLC, ) ) Applicant. )

Notice of Opposition

Opposer, STEVE HABERICHTER, a United States citizen, whose principal business address is 14149 S. Western Ave. #536, Blue Island, Illinois 60406, believes he will be damaged by registration of the mark LEADFOOT in International Class 25, as shown in Application Serial No. 85/879,472 filed by Applicant, Gearhead Enterprises

LLC, and hereby opposes the same and requests that registration to Applicant be refused.

As grounds for his opposition, Opposer alleges that:

1. Applicant seeks to register a mark consisting of the term “Leadfoot” for

“wearable garments and clothing, namely, shirts” in International Class 25 (hereinafter

“Applicant’s mark”). The application is a use-based application filed under 15 U.S.C. §

1051(1)(a) claiming a first use date of March 18, 2013.

2. Opposer has obtained the necessary extensions of time in which to file this

Notice of Opposition. Accordingly, this Notice of Opposition is being timely filed. 3. Since at least as early as 2001, Opposer has owned and operated a business performing as a musical band under the names, servicemarks and trademarks

LEADFOOT, LEAD FOOT, THE LEADFOOT BAND, and LEADFOOT STRING

BAND. Opposer has carried on this business continually throughout the United States.

See Exhibit 1 (Advertisements of Opposer’s Performances).

4. Additionally, Opposer has, for many years, sold merchandise bearing the

LEADFOOT mark in conjunction with Opposer’s live performances as a musical band, including CDs, stickers, poster prints, hats, jackets, and shirts. Opposer’s offering of these items for sale to indicate the source of its services notably involves affixing the

LEADFOOT mark to the same goods purportedly offered by Applicant. See Exhibit 2

(Opposer’s Goods Bearing the LEADFOOT Mark).

5. Opposer’s extensive advertising and promotion of its goods and services under the LEADFOOT mark features the use of internet advertising, print advertising, radio, and newspaper advertising, all of which are directed to and reach the public in both local and nationwide markets. See Exhibit 3 (Advertising and Promotion of

Opposer’s Goods and Services).

6. As a result of many years of uses of the LEADFOOT mark such as those listed above, Opposer has developed exceedingly valuable goodwill with respect to the

LEADFOOT mark. Such use has caused consumers nationwide to associate

LEADFOOT with Opposer’s unique brand of music and live performance. As a result of

Opposer’s efforts, the LEADFOOT mark is famous and was famous long prior to

Applicant’s purported date of first use of the term “Leadfoot.”

2 7. Opposer’s strongest commercial presence in the marketplace is in the

Midwestern region of the U.S., particularly in the greater Chicago area, northern Illinois, northwestern Indiana, southeastern Wisconsin, and southern Michigan.

8. Applicant is located in Lemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. On information and belief, Applicant offers its goods bearing the term “Leadfoot” primarily in this geographic area.

9. Despite Opposer’s long-standing prior rights in the LEADFOOT mark and his active participation and association with the type of goods Applicant purports to offer,

Applicant filed its trademark application on or about March 18, 2013, to register the

LEADFOOT mark for wearable garments and clothing, namely, shirts.

10. Applicant’s advertising and use of the mark LEADFOOT will inevitably reach the same consumers that Opposer targets with its use of the famous LEADFOOT mark.

11. Consumers, upon seeing the term “Leadfoot” used in conjunction with

Applicant’s goods, are likely to mistakenly believe that the term and the goods provided in connection with it originated with or are connected with, sponsored by, associated with, or licensed or approved by Opposer. Thus, the registration and use by Applicant of the LEADFOOT mark in connection with the recited goods is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).

12. Issuance of a registration to Applicant for the LEADFOOT mark would also diminish the distinctive quality of Opposer’s rights in its famous mark and would blur and otherwise impair the distinctiveness of the mark, in violation of 15 U.S.C. §

1125(c). In addition, should Applicant’s accompanying images corresponding to the term

3 “Leadfoot” depart from the family-friendly atmosphere Opposer strives to offer and convey at his concerts and events, Applicant’s use of the LEADFOOT mark may also tarnish the good image of Opposer’s famous mark, and would thereby cause harm to

Opposer’s reputation in violation of 15 U.S.C. §1125(c).

13. If a registration were issued to Applicant for the LEADFOOT mark, the confusion with Opposer’s mark would result in damage and injury to Opposer and the public. Registration of this term would give Applicant an unqualified right to wrongfully appropriate Opposer’s valuable goodwill and reputation associated with the LEADFOOT mark; to benefit from the likely confusion among purchasers led to believe that

Applicant’s goods are related in some fashion to Opposer’s services; to dilute the distinctiveness of Opposer’s mark and harm the goodwill and reputation associated with his mark; to tarnish Opposer’s good name by offering confusingly similar goods not subject to Opposer’s quality controls; and to restrict the natural growth of Opposer’s long-standing business.

14. On information and belief, Applicant submitted just one specimen with its application purportedly depicting the mark as used on Applicant’s goods, described by

Applicant as “Leadfoot Shirt.” To the contrary, Applicant’s specimen is a combination of two distinct images; a high-resolution digital image of the mark super-imposed on a photograph of someone wearing a plain black t-shirt. The t-shirt is basically a blank canvas, upon which Applicant digitally placed an artist’s rendering of the mark. The shirt portrayed in Applicant’s specimen does not actually exist. Nevertheless, Applicant misrepresents the specimen to the Examining Attorney as a photograph of a shirt actually bearing the mark. Applicant’s specimen is therefore not “a photograph, photocopy or

4 other reproduction of a specimen of the mark as actually used on or in connection with the goods, or in the sale or advertising of the services,” rendering it unacceptable under

37 CFR § 2.56(c). See Exhibit 4 (Applicant’s Specimen).

15. On information and belief, Applicant’s purported use of the term

“Leadfoot” has been isolated to a small area within Lemont, Illinois, and therefore cannot qualify as “use in commerce” as that term is defined in 15 U.S.C § 1127. Accordingly,

Applicant’s purported use cannot qualify it for registration as filed under 15 U.S.C. §

1051(a).

WHEREFORE, Opposer requests that this Opposition be sustained and

Application Serial No. 85/879,472 be refused registration.

Respectfully submitted, STEVE HABERICHTER

Stevie Starlite will be on stage with his eclectic rock show on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Starlite has been performing his unique style of rock and humor since 1970. Get ready for the jokes and the driving music.

I wish I could remember what Peter Rowan said about the place (this is his second or third year there). Something about the unique spirituality and the vibe. The name Sleeping Bear comes from an old Indian legend and reflects the reverance they held for the location

I haven't been in a few years because of schedule conflicts, but my friends that run it have unbelieveable energy. They are basically fans who saw the fest struggling and took over management a few years ago. They have also worked hard to bring more good music to the area outside of festival. Really doing a lot of good for the area. Joined: Thu Jan 13, 2005 8:34 pm Posts: 395 I grew up a few miles south of where the festival was held, and caraway hit it right on the money. If you have any preconceived notions about Michigan based on what you have heard or seen of other parts of the state, the Dunes will blow those notions away.

I was really impressed with the line-up this year. It's always had a couple of big names, but this year they really cranked it up a notch. Joined: Tue Jan 09, 2007 5:25 pm Posts: 26 It's been awhile since I've been to that area. We're bringing the kids for at least a day. We're planning making a trip to the dunes.

The weekend was about as ideal as possible (except maybe a little too hot during daytime sets).

The location was right in the small town of Empire and only a mile from the beach. Every morning, we would walk down and take a dip, then catch the shuttle bus back to the venue. We also stopped in at one of the town's restaurants for the occasional cup of coffee & sit down breakfast.

Camping was beautiful too, as we got in early and established one of many friendly enclaves. By Thursday night camping was almost full. Attendance ended up being double of last year, but the Joined: Thu Jan 13, 2005 8:34 promoters managed. pm Posts: 395 Finally, the music was great. Many of the highlights were the bands I didn't know - Rootstand, the Ffellaz, Breat American Taxi, Cornmeal.

Even though the stages had to shut down at midnight, the campers picked up the slack in a big way. The organizers put together a nightly bonfire that hosted more bluegrass, with a drum circle in the nearby teepee. You walk a few feet away and more musicians were jamming by a pole with rope lights wrapped around it. Unfortunately, I missed the guys from RRE and Greensky jamming out late night Saturday, as I was pretty tapped by then.

Hope the rest of you JC'ers had a blast.

A passion for music forms the rhythm of Joe Arteaga's days and nights. He performs several times a week at venues in Chicago and beyond, teaches drums, guitar and piano Related Articles at a private music school and is headed back to college this fall to complete his degree in Dance Careers: Dancers and Choreographers music education with a focus on jazz studies.

Joe's talent has been recognized on both professional and educational levels. He Interview with Singer and Songwriter, Brad Yoder currently is part of the Leadfoot a four-piece bluegrass band that is receiving recognition and recently finished a tour of the Colorado bluegrass scene. He is additionally is one of Dance Program Specialties eight members of The Super American, Happy-Fun Good Time Jamband, which performs regularly at local festivals and weekly at Chicagoland clubs including the The Cubby Bear. Music School Rankings At his ‘day job,' he fosters a love of music in students at the World Folk Music Company. Dance School Rankings While music was a top priority when Joe was a student at Evergreen Park High School, he admits grades were not. He graduated and worked what he describes as “a million different jobs, trying to make ends meet” while he tried to launch his career as a musician. He soon realized professional training would be crucial to his professional music goals, and started to audition for admittance to undergraduate music programs.

His initial audition at Roosevelt University didn't go well: he was told he would have to practice 10 hours a day for a year to become proficient enough to succeed in the program. Meanwhile, his high school academics hit a sour note with admissions officers. Determined, he attended community college for a year to prepare to transfer and continued to work at his music. A second round of auditions not only gained him admittance to Roosevelt, but also a scholarship…which he turned down in favor of a scholarship to Saint Xavier University. After a year of percussion studies there, he won a music scholarship to Northern Illinois University. He became immersed in program for a year, but financial considerations led to a hiatus from school.

While attaining his degree in music education, he plans to continue to teach and perform. “You get paid to express yourself artistically on a regular basis, and have a good time doing it. That's really cool to me,” he says.

You & Your Career

What led to your initial interest in music?

I go my first drum set on my birthday when I was in eighth grade, so 1988 is when I really started getting into music. I had really eclectic taste from the beginning, and started playing everything from heavy metal to jazz to polka to Irish music, practicing two to eight hours a day, depending on the day; on weekends, I practiced six hours if I had the time. I performingartsschools.com/resources/interview-with-guitar-teacher-and-musician-joe-arteaga 1/5 10/24/13 Interview with Guitar Teacher and Musician, Joe Arteaga | PerformingArtsSchools.com always wanted to make a career out of it.

Tell us about your career as a teacher and a musician.

I feel lucky I can make a living at it. Not everybody can. For years after I graduated from high school, I did a million different jobs trying to make ends meet. A friend told me about World Folk Music Company, the store that I teach at. I initially taught beginning guitar and drums lessons there one day a week, then someone who worked there moved, and I took over all of those piano and guitar students, so I was able to teach four days a week. It's a generally good-paying job, and I start after 3 p.m., so I decided to go back to school to pursue a music performance degree. So I've been teaching and going to school, and as the years progressed, I started playing for different bands and networking. I'm getting called regularly to perform, so I've been able to make a living between playing gigs and teaching.

I play in a few different bands. Leadfoot is a bluegrass jam band that mixes traditional bluegrass with more of an edge, adding different styles of reggae, jazz, funk and rock for high-energy, bluegrass-based music. It's an original band, we all do a lot of writing, we all sing. We have started to do quite a bit of touring. We just went to Colorado where that kind of sound is popular; Chicago doesn't have the greatest bluegrass scene. We have a gig every week, we play 10 to12 gigs a month. The other band I play with regularly is. The Super American, Happy Fun Good Time Jam Band. It's a collaboration of eight jam band musicians from different bands. Twice a week at a regular spot, we get together and play Grateful Dead http://www.dead.net/, Phish http://www.phish.com/, Rolling Stones http://www.rollingstones.com/home.php and so forth, make a little money and have a good time.

I also have other little projects I do. I have played on about 13 different CDs, I'm always putting little projects together with little groups here and there to record an album. I used to be with a band called Treologic that was pretty successful and got some good reviews like from the Chicago Tribune. It hasn't been picked up by a major label yet, but they were talking to an indie label when I left the band.

You have expertise on percussion, guitar and piano. Which is your favorite and why?

My favorite is percussion, because that's what I started off on, and that's what comes most naturally to me. My second favorite is guitar; the way I play is very percussive, I do a lot of finger style. What I like about the guitar and piano is that it's different from drums in that you can actually have the melody, chord changes and write songs. It's hard to do that with the drums. There are things like the marimba and the xylophone that are melodic instruments, but its not the same as playing something like the piano or guitar. As far as the drums go, I love to be loud and the tribal feel of the instrument. Drums and guitar are my lifelong study. Piano is a secondary thing.

When did your interest in music start?

Two of my friends from junior high were both drummers. I remember the first time I heard the drums and watched them play; it made me want to smile and I fell in love with it. They sat me down, and said “try playing this beat.” I played the beat that they played the first time, and they freaked out because it had taken them a long time to learn a beat, and I just sat down and played it. From the first time I played the drums, I knew I wanted to do something with it. From then on, I begged my mom for a drum set and I finally got one.

What unique challenges and rewards come from working as a guitar teacher? As a professional musician?

From being a teacher, one of the rewards I've noticed is when I put on a recital. You go through the whole process of teaching the kids to play their instruments. When you actually get them up in from of people playing a song and performing, it's great to see how happy it makes them and how excited their parents are watching them play. The parents tell you that the kids like to come and that they look forward to it. To me, that's really rewarding, it seems like you're actually making a difference in this kid's life, that your life has some kind of meaning and that all the hard work you put into it has paid off.

As far as playing, the most rewarding thing is that you are actually making a living doing something you like to do. You get paid to express yourself artistically on a regular basis, and have a good time doing it. That's really cool to me.

Who are the biggest inspirations for your career?

I tend to get inspiration from everything. I don't necessarily get all of my inspiration from just musicians. I get most of my inspiration from people that have a passion for something performingartsschools.com/resources/interview-with-guitar-teacher-and-musician-joe-arteaga 2/5 10/24/13 Interview with Guitar Teacher and Musician, Joe Arteaga | PerformingArtsSchools.com and who actually pursues their passion, no matter what it is. A guy who starts his own construction business and works hard and does well with it because he's very passionate about it is very inspiring to me. You see all the hard work they put in. The same thing goes with a musician, you see all the hard work they put in and they really enjoy it, that's really inspiring. You can find that inspiration from anything: a movie you are watching, a song on the radio or just seeing people work hard.

What ranks among the favorite achievements that you've completed in your career and why?

Just getting into college was a great achievement for me, because I did so poorly in high school that my high school guidance counselor told me my grades were so bad I couldn't get into community college, which wasn't quite true. But to be able to pursue an education is huge for me. It took me a long time to do it, and I worked really hard to be able to do it, putting in tons of time practicing to get ready for auditions. Getting in and being able to do it was really big. It made me proud.

I was offered a scholarship to a few different schools: Roosevelt University, St Xavier, Northern Arizona University (http://www.nau.edu/) and Northern Illinois University. The one that stood out, because it took me two years to get it, was Roosevelt. The first year that I auditioned at Roosevelt, the first person I auditioned with told me I had no potential, that I would have to practice 10 hours a day to be accepted to the program. So then I worked my butt off, and the next year I went back and got a pretty big scholarship. That was a pretty big achievement.

What are some of your professional goals for the future?

I still play on pursuing music as a career. Eventually I'd like to get a recording studio in my house, so that I could record my own music, record other peoples music and eventually teach out of my own house, I'd like to be on the road, tour with my bands, and and have the recoding studio. If that happens, I'll be retired. To me, that's not working.

Education Information & Advice

Tell us about your music education (schools attended, degrees, specialties, activities, memberships, scholarships, other details).

I'm still working on my degree; I'm going to be finishing my music degree in education at Chicago State in the fall. Hopefully I'll be done in five semesters, or four if I take summer school. It's an inexpensive school, five minutes from my house, and it has a pretty decent jazz program and a decent music education program. When you're paying for school yourself and don't have a lot of money, you have to take that into consideration. It's not that expensive of a school and it's in an area of Chicago where you play a lot of gigs and teach a lot of students so that you can earn a decent living while you're in college. That's why I chose Chicago State.

I initially went to Saint Xavier because they were recruiting, and they were giving out a lot of money. It was a small, hands-on program; there were only two percussionists, me and one other guy. So for private lesions, ensemble classes, so we got a lot of attention. That year helped me to get into Northern. If I didn't go there first, I don't think I would have been able to get into Northern.

I went to Northern for one year as a jazz studies major; because I was on scholarship, it was an extremely demanding program. Out of that year I got more out of school than I have at any other school. You'd practice six hours a day, then do homework on top of it. Life was so scheduled, you had to be on top of everything to make it all happen. That was a Top Ten percussion program as far as schools go. I was in six different band oriented things per semester, so that's a ton of work; that's six ensembles you're practicing for, plus your homework, you have your four general classes, music theory, ear training, art history, freshman percussion. I'd leave my dorm room at 8 a.m. and the work wouldn't stop until midnight or 1 a.m. It's really hard while you're doing it, but you when you are done with the semester, you look back and say wow, I got a lot out of that.

Saint Xavier didn't have a jazz program, and what drove me to Northern was that they had a top notch jazz program, and a top-notch percussion, world music and ethnic program -- the best of everything. I have eclectic taste in music, and they offer everything. If you're serious about trying to play different kinds of music, then you have to go to a top 10 school like that. Some schools are stronger in different fields. Saint Xavier's is more oriented to music educators or opera singers.

Even with all the scholarships, it was really hard to make ends meet. School is very performingartsschools.com/resources/interview-with-guitar-teacher-and-musician-joe-arteaga 3/5 10/24/13 Interview with Guitar Teacher and Musician, Joe Arteaga | PerformingArtsSchools.com expensive, and there wasn't much work for me in Dekalb. I found myself going back and forth to Chicago from Dekalb every weekend to play gigs make money. They say people gain weight when they are in college, but I actually lost 20 lbs when I went to school. I lived in the dorms and I missed meal service all the time, but I had no money to eat out. Even though I loved the program at Northern, it made more sense for me to get a degree in Chicago so I could work and pay for school at the same time. Going to Chicago State, I can live very comfortably while going to school.

In retrospect, what do you know now that you wish you knew before you pursued your education in music?

I would have gotten better grades in high school, that's for sure. I actually had to go to community college for one year so that I could transfer.

What factors should prospective guitar students consider when choosing a school?

The most important thing is to find a school that offers exactly what you are looking for. Don't just go to a school that offers you money. If you plan on staying there for four years, or even one year, that's a long time. It you're going to dedicate yourself to it, make sure it's someplace that you will be happy, because otherwise it could you turn you away from, lose sight of why you started playing music, what makes you happy.

How can prospective music students assess their aptitude?

The main thing is contact a school you want to get into, ask about audition requirements to get into the school. Visit the school and do a tour, sit in on some of the classes, see what the classes are like, and check out some of the players that go there. That can be a very humbling experience to see how good the current students are; you might realize you have work to do. If you realize that you have work to do, take lesson, contact universities close to your area that might have students that can tutor you, you can also pursue lessons with someone who has been through music school. They can give you direction.

Are there different considerations for students seeking lessons at private schools such as where you teach?

At World Folk Music, we teach all levels, anything from beginner to advanced, depending on what level you are at and what you want to get into, we have teachers for everything. We start students as young as infants with music classes.

What are considered some of the most respected and prestigious music/guitar schools, departments or programs?

It depends on what you are looking for. There are so many schools out there. Most of the state colleges generally have a good or excellent programs, and many private schools have excellent programs too. Then there are schools like Berklee College of Music in Boston http://www.berklee.edu and Juilliard http://www.juilliard.edu/ that have great programs

How important are performance experiences to students?

You learn just as much playing with other musicians, if not more than playing by yourself. It's one thing to practice a song a million times by yourself, but when you are playing with other musicians, where people are reacting off of each other's playing, it's a completely different experience. You have to learn how to play with other musicians and learn how to use your ears. That's just as important as any lessons you might take. You can say you want to be a jazz musician and get a degree in jazz studies, but you can't do it until you get out there and start playing it.

Job Information & Advice

How can the reality of a career as a musician and an instrumental teacher differ from typical expectations?

When you're young, everyone dreams of being a rock star, being up on a big stage. What you have to keep in mind is that being a professional musician also demands that you are a professional, you have to carry yourself well, show up on time, be well prepared. There's a whole business end to it that people should keep in mind while pursuing music as a career. You're still out there working every day. You still have to pay taxes just like everybody else, and you still have to work hard like everybody else. It's a lot of phone calls, a lot of aggressive networking. And you have to be good with your money. Some months you might make great money, but than there might be a couple of months where you don't get as many gigs or you don't have as many students, so you have to have performingartsschools.com/resources/interview-with-guitar-teacher-and-musician-joe-arteaga 4/5 10/24/13 Interview with Guitar Teacher and Musician, Joe Arteaga | PerformingArtsSchools.com money tucked away.

What are some common myths about the music profession?

It's definitely not all sex, drugs and rock and roll. Most of the people who get the girls are the people in the audience. By the time we're done taking everything down off the stage, everyone is gone. We're working well after everyone is already drunk and gone.

How has the Internet affected the music profession?

Its one of the best tools for networking, promoting your bands, finding information on places to play, to find directions to a gig; it's a great learning tool.

What are some of the contributions music makes to society?

Everybody needs music, its one of the few things that brings people together in a good way. Some things bring people together in a good way, and some things bring people together in a bad way. When you go to a concert, and see so many people in one place celebrating the music on the stage, I think that's great. It's a very positive way to bring people together.

What are considered the hottest music specialties developing over the next decade?

It's always good to have something to fall back on. Electronics are getting big into music nowadays. As technology grows, and gets bigger and faster, you get people mixing technology and electronics with the acoustic side of music, so its good to understand how a computer works. It's never bad to have something to fall back on; you find a lot of musicians these days who are recording out of the house on the side, and who also use the computer to do graphic design and design web sites for other musicians.

What challenges will be addressed by the music industry in the next five years?

One of the problems is the media. VH1 and MTV are dominant; in a way, that's all the music you see. The music you see on TV is a big fashion show. You don't see to many shows or videos on some of the really good music in the cities, the good jazz and funk music that's out there. You tend to get the Top 40 hits, and the bands that fit a certain image on TV. If you are a musician that is trying to pursue something besides grunge rock or anything else you might see on VH1 or MTV, you're going to have a hard time. You are going to have to play a ton of gigs and do a lot of touring to make ends meet as opposed to other bands get big because they look and play in a way that fits a certain genre. That's the difference between bands that sell a ton of records, and bands that are playing very obscure, abstract music and tour and do 200 gigs a year to make ends meet.

Closing Remarks

What other advice can you give to prospective students thinking about attending guitar school or music school, whether they want to play for fun or for a living?

Follow your hearts and do what makes you happy. If you really enjoy playing music and you really want to do it for a living, go for it.

BROADCAST We are a band from Europe. Who are we? We have a whispy female lead singer. Who are we? We are considered indie rock. Who are we? We are often characterized by distorted synth sounds and sampled drum machines. Who are we? People often call us lounge-y, psychedelic, and space rock. Who are we? Stereolab, right? Wrong. This is the type of game that English collective Broadcast has to go through each time someone hears their music and attempts to provide an accurate description. While Stereolab is a decent place to start, there are just as many differences between the groups as there are similarities. Broadcast could ultimately be filed as electronic rock lo-fi. Nintendo-midi-sounding keyboards and chandeliering guitars play out the high side, with simple 4/4 kit beats to accent over distorted drum machine sounds and buzzsaw synth on the other. With their latest release, Tender Buttons (Warp), Broadcast comes off as their own group, one more buoyant than any S-word would ever be.

In 1986, the Dead Kennedys were charged with “distribution of harmful matter to Oct 24 at Milwaukee Theatre minors.” I can hardly think of a more ringing endorsement.

LOGLINE: Homecoming, home-wrecking, and home team are all themes in a wry drama set deep in the heart of Chicago’s Irish American subculture. Prodigal son Danny Malone (Madden) comes home to his indulgent mother and bullying father after an absence of thirteen years as his best friend Fudd (Phelan) arrives home from Iraq. Danny, harboring a potentially fatal secret, and Fudd, with his dark memories, are pulled back into the boozy embrace of the old neighborhood, where the bonds of schoolyard loyalties have been loosened by adult failures, jealousy, and infidelity. Director Looby evokes the South Side milieu with the accuracy and affection of an insider, including the adrenalin-rush chaos of the St. Patrick’s Day parade.

SYNOPSIS: Danny Malone took off to Colorado to live the private, artist's life he found impossible in Chicago. His best friend, Tommy 'Fudd' Phelan also left, but did so as a Marine. Thirteen years later, Danny discovers that he may have cancer and leaves Colorado abruptly under the guise of re-connecting with Fudd, who is returning from his service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Knowing that he'll need health insurance, Danny asks his well-connected Father to help him find a job back in Chicago.

Throughout his stay, Danny doesn't share his dire news with friends and family in an attempt to hide his vulnerability. He soon finds that this secretiveness is dangerously alienating him from friends, family and the girl with whom he's falling in love. He comes to realize that true happiness can only be found through accepting harsh reality and being open.

Meanwhile, Fudd comes to find that the community to which he came home is no longer his and decides to return to the only place where he had found meaning.

LEFTY explores how denial breeds isolation and how the cure for loneliness lies in finding something worth living for...or dying for. Although containing heavy thematic content, LEFTY is a light and affecting independent narrative feature.

CREW

Todd Looby: Producer / Writer / Director / Camera / Editor

Award-winning filmmaker, Todd Looby was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago. He is a mostly self-taught filmmaker. Shortly after receiving his MS in Environmental Sciences in Civil Engineering in 1999, Todd returned to Chicago and began taking classes at Chicago’s “iO” (formerly Improv Olympic). The following year Todd acquired at DV camera and began making films. Initially making rudimentary documentaries and comedic shorts, Todd began tackling feature film work in late 2005 while working full-time as a commercial construction manager. His first narrative feature, THE SITE, premiered at Henry Jaglom’s Iowa Independent Film Festival in 2007. The film was cut further in the Fall of 2007 and was screened at Chicago’s Facet’s Cinemateque as part of IFP/Chicago’s “Meet the Filmmaker” series in the Spring of 2008. Also in the Spring of 2008, Todd completed a 45-minute documentary, “Towering Above O’Hare” about the building of the new Air-Traffic Control Tower at O’Hare Airport.

LEFTY, was shot over the course of one year and stars many of Todd’s friends from the neighborhood as well as accomplished comedic actors from Second City and iO. Todd was recently in Honduras shooting a feature-length documentary, Solo Madres, about the impossible plight of impoverished mothers in a society where 70% of fathers have left the family or have immigrated to the United States. Todd’s work often blends off-beat humor and drama in character studies that challenge current societal norms.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

“The main character in LEFTY is in the midst of a crisis. He has to decide whether to maintain control over his problems through dishonesty or to surrender that control to the help of others and, ultimately, to God. It is a decision between defensiveness and openness. It is a theme that mirrors the current state of American culture internally and in its exploits overseas. Must we continue to pretend that we can always fix our own problems, or can we begin to open ourselves to more mutual relationships with each other and the world? LEFTY directly tested this hypothesis in the process of its making. The actors were provided a complete script, though they were encouraged to improvise. Several of the principle actors and I are products of Chicago’s iO Theater (formerly Improv Olympic). Everyone involved with the production was encouraged to follow iO’s most important principle: To say “yes” to the scene as it develops by surrendering their own ideas. Essentially, I was left with the same challenge as the lead character: How to accept and incorporate into the film the grace and/or complications provided by my collaborators? However challenging the process, the product exhibits a deep emotion because of the cast and crew’s mutual investment. Additional collaboration by some of Chicago’s best independent musical talent, featured throughout the film, further underscores its emotional impact. Through this process, I became a true believer in the power of letting go and trusting. “ - Todd Looby Writer/Director: LEFTY

MUSIC

The recorded music and live performances in LEFTY perfectly supplement the emotional core of the film. Among the nine different artists featured on the soundtrack are:

The Blacks The Blacks were formed in 1993 after Danny Black, an alt-country virtuoso met Gina Black, a classicly-trained musician, who took well to the stand-up bass. They were quickly signed to Chicago’s “Bloodshot Records” and developed the reputation as one of the better live acts of Chicago’s indie-rock scene. They have three songs on LEFTY’s soundtrack as well as a live performance in the film. www.myspace.com/blackfamily

Brighton, MA “Brighton, MA has already made an album that should be recognized, not necessarily alongside other albums that are marveled over, but sharing quarters with prized literature, the pleasure and pain of solitude and mankind’s corrupt beauty.” Words by Sean Moeller - www.daytrotter.com Brighton, MA’s song “A Good Kind of Crazy” appears on the LEFTY Soundtrack. www.myspace.com/brightonma

Leadfoot String Band Leadfoot String Band is a 5 piece hot-pickin’ string band made up of mandolin, acoustic guitars, upright bass, banjo and vocals playing ’Chicago-style bluegrass.’ What is Chicago-style bluegrass? It’s hard drivin’, sometimes soulful, sometimes acoustically experimental, sometimes lonesome, rooted in a traditional setting, and explored from there. “End of the Day” perfectly bookends the character arcs of Danny and Fudd in LEFTY. www.myspace.com/leadfootmusic

For All the Sweet Children Led by Singer / Songwriter, Quentin Hirsley, For All the Sweet Children is quickly becoming Chicago’s premiere folk lounge band. Quentin’s haunting voice perfectly suits his poetic lyrics in the vain of Morphine’s Mark Sandman. Quentin also collaborates often with The Black’s Danny and Gina Black. “I Have Seen” and “You Were Born” are both featured in LEFTY. This is the second time that Todd Looby and Quentin have collaborated on a film. www.myspace.com/forallthesweetchildren
