A Quiet Ascent: James Anthony Wolff’s Op. 10 Illuminates the Modern Quartet

Published

on

In a creative landscape dominated by maximalism, James Anthony Wolff’s String Quartet No. 2, Op. 10, dares to breathe. This introspective chamber work, a departure from Wolff’s cinematic indie rock project Harvest Runes, showcases the composer’s versatility and restraint. With a career spanning classical composition, law, and architecture, Wolff reaffirms his place as a cross-disciplinary thinker and contributor to 21st-century chamber music.

A Work of Intimacy and Complexity

The three-movement quartet is a masterclass in subtlety, with each movement distinct in mood and shape. The first movement sets the tone with a measured rhythmic figure, establishing a sense of pulse without urgency. The second movement trades pulse for spaciousness, blurring harmonic boundaries and evoking a haunting, existential atmosphere. The third movement is a slow, luminous ascent, with long, lyrical lines and beautifully balanced voicings.

A Narrative of Restraint and Transcendence

Wolff’s melodic instinct shines in the third movement, carrying an emotional weight that feels undeniable. The quartet doesn’t reach for resolution or climax; instead, it offers transcendence. This is a work that dares to be quiet, to breathe, and to invite the listener into a world of subtlety and refinement.

A Standout Achievement

String Quartet No. 2, Op. 10 marks a standout achievement in Wolff’s catalog, a reminder that the most compelling stories in music aren’t always the loudest. This quartet is a moment of real reflection, a testament to the power of restraint and subtlety in music.

Full-Figured Flings Teaser Nears 10K Views – Director of Photography Offers Special Father’s Day Release

Published

on

Back 2 the Basics Production Management Group is proud to announce the official teaser premiere for FFF: Full-Figured Flings, a bold and unapologetic new film celebrating full-figured women and challenging the norms of beauty in Hollywood. Clocking in at just 46 seconds, the teaser doesn’t waste a moment, delivering a powerful visual and emotional punch that sets the tone for a project rooted in body positivity, size inclusivity, and cultural truth.

Premiering ahead of the 20th anniversary of Phat Girlz (2006), FFF serves as both homage and evolution. The film expands the conversation around colorism, sizeism, and shapeism, spotlighting women who have often been cast aside, sidelined, or silenced.

“This teaser is more than a preview—it’s a declaration,” said Lillie Mae Jones, creator and producer. “FFF is our love letter to the women who’ve never been centered but have always been essential. We’re not just telling stories—we’re shifting the lens.”

 FFF: Full-Figured Flings is currently in development as a non-union independent production, with plans to release in 2026. The film invites audiences and allies to follow, support, and amplify the message through community engagement, open casting calls, and creative collaborations—including the launch of a nationwide call for a “Big Girl Anthem” to serve as the film’s official theme song.

Accept the Challenge…

The buzz is building fast around the highly anticipated full-figured fashion experience FFF, and now there’s a challenge on the table that fans won’t want to miss.

After racking up 11,000 views in less than 10 days, the official teaser video for FFF on YouTube is quickly gaining momentum. And now, the film’s Director of Photography, Dominique Perry, has thrown down a bold offer:

“If we hit 20,000 views before Saturday, June 14th, I’ll drop an exclusive second teaser on Father’s Day.”

This is more than a film—it’s a movement. FFF is a high-fashion, high-impact visual celebration of full-figured women taking a stand for representation, inclusion, and power on and off the runway.
