The period piece is set during the Civil War, west of the Mississippi River, and explores dynamics of race, gender and culture by playing against stereotypes. The second film, “unTHINKable,” is a short, narrative film that is based on a novella written by Taylor. The film explores coexistence between wild jaguars and traditional cattle ranching in southwestern Brazil. “Mark of the Jaguar” just won “best endangered species film” at the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival in New York. Two of Taylor’s new films are now in the festival circuit winning awards. Not only albums produced for local and visiting artists, but also major film projects. Next, “a Nashville guy will come to acoustically treat the studio,” said Taylor, and “a big open house” is planned for possibly late spring.įrom within those brick walls, wholesome media is emerging. Taylor assures that no bones were discovered and the only other artifacts were some old bottles. This object of unknown origin was one of two uncovered during the renovation at Cool Brick Studios in Carbondale. If not, “maybe the historical society will want to keep them.” “If it’s determined these are Ute, I want to return them to the Utes,” said Taylor. Taylor is now looking to have the objects’ origins confirmed. Each club has a handle of solid wood, a rock grooved to match it and a strong vine tying the two together. “One of the coolest things,” said Taylor, leaning forward, “is a discovery made by Bill while excavating.” Two potentially prehistoric tools, possibly clubs, were unburied. Ward in turn sold it to William Dinkel in 1905 and Dinkel sold it again in 1907.
He had help from local architect Dustin Anderson of Peak Architecture in Basalt and builder Bill Hilderbrand of Trendsetters Custom Homes to make the vision a reality.Īccording to documents acquired by Anderson, the property was originally owned by a gold miner named Samuel Pascoe and transferred to former mayor Ward Tucker by 1901. “We couldn’t find enough of the exact vintage brick,” said Taylor. It took time to find a closely matching brick. He also did the work to help assure that anyone else in the future won’t mess with the original house. While recognizing the need for expanded living space to better isolate the professional studio, which remains the ground floor of the historic structure, Taylor felt it imperative to stay true to the character of the old house. “I always had the idea of expanding it without touching the original house,” said Taylor, who has made the house his home since 2011. The historic downtown house is solidly built with muted-pink bricks giving it that “cool” aesthetic which is now repeated with the building’s recent expansion.
I met with writer, musician, producer, director Dave Taylor, a man of many titles, at the Village Smithy Restaurant, just a stone’s throw from his place of work, Cool Brick Studios.
