My Favorie Movie: Dave Matthews Band's Boyd Tinsley

"You know, I'm a big Hitchcock fan. I love Hitchcock movies — "Rear Window," "Psycho," "North by Northwest," "The Man Who Knew Too Much" — but when I look at movies overall, I have to say "Star Wars," because "Star Wars" does the thing that I love the most about a movie, because the music by John Williams and this movie have that emotional thing to them, have that excitement that gets into your bones.
"That opening scene when the big ship is coming across the screen, and this huge music is accompanying that, it's just like oh my God. I remember seeing that in the theaters, my mouth was just wide open. I could not believe it. I could not wait to find out what was going to happen next, because if they're starting out like this, oh my God. So that movie, particularly when I was a kid and seeing it in theater, it just absolutely blew me away. It still blows me away."
Boyd Tinsley, the violinist for Dave Matthews Band, produced the ethereal film "Faces in the Mirror," available for streaming online at SnagFilms.com/Face.

Boyd Tinsley definitely has the music in him. Watch any Dave Matthews Band performance or music video, and you're likely to see him play the violin with electrifying energy.
The DMB member is now bringing that same passion to his first big screen project, "Faces in the Mirror," an emotional movie set to music recorded before any film was shot that tells the story of a man returning home to attend his negligent father's funeral. Tinsley conceived the film, which premieres live on Aug. 30 at SnagFilms.com, and served as music producer, executive producer and performer, and he even makes a cameo appearance.
Tinsley somehow found time between his many roles with the film and touring with DMB this summer to tell us about the making of his unconventional first film, seeing "magic" happen in the recording studio and DMB's influences on his creative process. Get More »

It's only a matter of time before Hollywood execs cash in on the hugely passionate Dave Matthews Band fan base and greenlight a movie about the feel-good rock group.
Now that Boyd Tinsley is entering the movie business as producer of the indie "Faces in the Mirror," premiering Aug. 30 on SnagFilms.com, and the DMB violinist has a few suggestions for who should play each member of the band.
"A young Tom Hanks would be a great Dave Matthews. That's the one that I could say definitively," Tinsley told us in an exclusive interview. "I hope Dave is flattered by that, and I hope Tom Hanks is too. I think they will be." Get More »
