Madison Actor 40•#/$ **V Featured in "Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss" Madison — Taking his second principal role in a feature film, Madi- son-based actor Richard Ganoung traveled to Los Angeles for the pre- miere and national opening of Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss. The movie opened on July 24 in LA and features Ganoung in the role of Perry, a friend of the film's title character Billy Collier. The movie will open at Milwaukee's Oriental Theater on September 4th. Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss cen- ters around Billy Collier, a photographer who is shooting a photo series that recreates great screen kisses from Hollywood's Golden Age with an all- male/drag cast. Ganoung's character is an older, more successful photographer who tries to guide Billy through his travails in his relationship and his career. John Cooper of Sundance Film Festival says that the movie is "a smart film by a filmmak- er who knows cinematic tradition and enlists it adeptly to tell an unconventional story." The movie is independently produced by David Moseley and written N and directed by Tommy O'Haver. 0 it. It was pretty exciting stuff. parts of the country. Interview and photo by WASWO W.

Pushing The Lid Off Photographer and writer Deone Jahnke created ImageBox several years ago as an answer to Milwaukee's lack of an annual photographic survey. First manifesting itself as on eclectic, invitation-only showing in Jahnke's studio, ImageBox soon developed an aura of underground chic. It turned its back on mainstream gallery indifference by creating a thoughtful exclusivity of its own. With this year's move to the Frederick Layton Gallery of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, the ImageBox show seems to have made the breakthrough that underground 20th Century Sculpture Exhibit energy almost invariably wrecks upon the surface. Jahnke's annual photographic survey has flowered, and demands its rightful place among the city's cultural perennials. at Milwaukee Art Museum A few of Milwaukee's supposed heavyweights are Milwaukee — From Figure to Floor, the second exhibition in a series of four marking the end of the 20th noticeably absent from this year's show (Tom Bomberger? century, examines European and American sculpture over the past 100 years at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
