Cox Communications -- Hitcher Company Owner: Jeff Lester Director/Writer/Producer Jeff Lester, a graduate of U.C. Berkeley, has been directing since 1996, winning multiple awards for his work. He was first recruited by Robert Redford's Sundance Channel to direct and produce segments of Sundance Dailies, a half-hour program highlighting the Sundance Film Festival. The show aired on both the Sundance Channel and Showtime. Continuing his relationship with the Sundance Channel, Lester created, wrote, produced and directed The Shorts Show, a series pilot focusing on the craft of short filmmaking, hosted by Emmy Winner and Academy Award nominee Laura Dern. Lester entered the world of filmmaking with his debut short film, The Last Real Cowboys, starring Academy Award and Golden Globes winner Billy Bob Thornton and legendary actor Mickey Jones. Jeff directed, produced and co- authored the story line with screenwriter Rudy Gaines. The film premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and went on to become an audience favorite at over 20 international film festivals, including South By Southwest, Aspen Shorts Fest, New York's Shorts International Film Festival (winner of "Best Comedy"), Telluride Mountain Film Festival ("Best Short Film"), London Film Festival and Stockholm Film Festival. The film was chosen as part of the Ifilm/AMC Theaters premiere theatrical showcase for short films and was eligible for Academy Award nomination. The short was licensed for on-demand distribution by Atom Films and IndieFlix. A feature- length screenplay, based on the 12-minute short, was story lined by Lester, Gaines and Thornton and written

  • Del Blake: “The Greatest [Unknown] Drummer in the World” Or “Obsessive Compulsive Drummer” by Stephen Boudreaux, Jan 6, 2020 [email protected]
    Del Blake: “The Greatest [Unknown] Drummer in the World” or “Obsessive Compulsive Drummer” By Stephen Boudreaux, Jan 6, 2020 [email protected] In 2019, if you Googled “Del Blake” or “Del Blake Drums” nothing comes up…literally nothing save for two Facebook entries I personally made a year or so ago. In our modern world of social media and everything-Internet, one would think that you would get a hit, a photo, a wedding pic, a something. But nothing. I have known Del Blake for over twenty years. We would spend time at least once per month over that span having lunch or a visit over the phone or email about mostly drums and drumming. But sometimes just life things, too. Of all the stories I extracted out of Del, there just HAD to be record of that online somewhere connected to his name. I mean…there was just too much. Even if most of his fanfare happened pre-Internet, there is no excuse for there not to be a recorded history of a guy who accomplished so much. What made Sammy Davis, Jr., proclaim during a high profile concert at Carnegie Hall that Del Blake, at age 27 was, “The Greatest Drummer in the World!” while at the same time being on tour with Buddy Rich who was almost universally known as “The Greatest Drummer in the World?” Surely Sammy could have suffered the wrath of the temperamental Buddy Rich over a statement like that. Del Blake passed away quietly on November 4, 2019 at the age of 76.
