The Short Version: Artist/Musician/Filmmaker Ronnie Cramer has been active in the arts community for over thirty years. His paintings have been exhibited in galleries and other venues across the country (including over forty shows in 2005-06 alone), his music has achieved airplay on over 100 radio stations nationwide and his critically-acclaimed films have been screened at festivals around the world. He has also been featured as a guest lecturer on art and media at numerous museums and universities. The Long Version: Cramer founded the musical group Alarming Trends and served and the bands' guitarist and primary songwriter. The Trends' musical history spans three decades; they played live gigs throughout Colorado (and across the U.S.) during the 1980s, recorded several film scores during the 1990s, and in 2001 had a Number One song on MP3.com. Cramer's solo musical works have also been featured on MP3.com and have been played and/or downloaded over 500,000 times. Several of his songs have appeared on the charts (including the Number One spot on the Experimental/Post Rock chart) and have been included in a number of anthologies and compilations. In addition to releasing numerous studio recordings, Cramer has appeared live at the top area venues, including the Mercury Cafe, Herman's Hideaway, Rock Island, Boulder's Blue Note, as well as performing shows at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco and at legendary New York clubs CBGB and The Bitter End. He continues to perform concerts of his solo electronic music throughout North America. Cramer directed a series of music videos for Alarming Trends that were shown regularly on KBDI's 'Teletunes' and were featured on similar programs across the U.S., including 'Ground Zero Video,' 'Music Link,' USA Network's 'Night Flight' and MTV's '120 Minutes.' He also produced Final Mix, a weekly television series seen on Mile-Hi Cablevision in Colorado. His first feature film, the crime drama Back Street Jane, premiered at the Angelika Film Center in New York City and was favorably compared to Stanley Kubrick's The Killing and John Huston's The Asphalt Jungle by Psychotronic Magazine. Exploitation Journal praised the film in its pages and singled out the score (written by Cramer and performed by Alarming Trends) as 'excellent.' Cramer's black comedy Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend became a cult classic and was cited as 'the best drive-in movie of the year' by film critic Joe Bob Briggs, who also called Cramer 'an inspired demento who's made some of the finest underground films of this century.' Cult Movies and Blue Ryder both called Even Hitler 'hilarious,' Adult Video News described it as 'inspired,' and Westword termed the film 'vicious, subversive satire.' It also spawned a successful sequel: The Hitler Tapes. Ronnie's first documentary film, Highway Amazon, was called 'outrageously weird and funny' by Westword and named Best Documentary at the New York International Independent Film Festival, the Miami Short Film Festival and at the 40th Annual Humboldt Film Festival. Highway Amazon has also been screened at many other festivals around the world and was one of ten films selected for the 2003 Colorado Film Biennial at the Starz Center in Denver. Cramer recently produced A Moment in Time for the Museum of Contemporary Art | Denver, which won a 2005 Telly Award for Cultural Documentary. His film Pillow Girl has been an official selection at over 100 festivals worldwide and was named Best Experimental Film at the Miami Short Film Festival, the Golden Star Shorts Fest, the Big Muddy Film Festival, the Trail Dance Film Festival and the Coney Island Film Festival. Pillow Girl was also named Best Animated Short at the Denver Underground Film Festival and chosen for the 2005 Colorado Film Biennial. Ronnie's films have appeared at many venues in the USA and abroad, including:

Rapp St. Littleton, CO 80120 Screening of Ronnie Cramer's film Pillow Girl January 23, 2009 Denver Music Board Re: Denver Local Music That Mattered to ME (at least) Well, I'm way too young to remember anything before say....2005, but I always thought the Alarming Trends were kind of hip in their day. (When they had the little blonde girl singing) R. Cramer's videos were pretty funny. 'White Cross, big deal! White Cross, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, let me up!' - Jerry Lee January 23, 2009 Denver Music Board Re: Denver Local Music That Mattered to ME (at least) OMG YEH LOVED THEM, FOUND IT !!! - Mystery Man January 23, 2009 Denver Music Board Re: Denver Local Music That Mattered to ME (at least) Hererra played a Rok Tots song on his show this past Wed night on 101.5. I believe I posted that Alarming Trends video on Youtube....from a VHS tape I had recorded from Channel 12 'Teletunes' when they did a night of nothing but local band videos....I think JL produced several of them as I recall. I can't find a copy of The Rumbles video from MTV Basement tapes..wasn't it 'My Girl is mad at Me'???

Cantata in C Major: A musical piece compiled of screams from horror films throughout history. More experimental than horror. Amusing. Mombies: The most terrifying terror that ever terrified. You Better Watch Out: Santa's real, and the fucker's gonna pay for those crappy gifts! Dead Boyfriend: Pandora with puppets. Her boyfriends have no luck. Side Effect: An excellent payoff shot makes up for the predictable "twist" based on a common urban legend. And making it about an overachiever instead of a drug addict is a good twist, too. Dans La Corde: Surreal French film of a man escaping from a wooden box to find--an island, and a tightrope to another island. And no escape. The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon: I saw this at Dead Channels last year, and it's still funny. A million spoonfuls of terror!

Cramer profiles a very dedicated female wrestler and Wood attacks women in public spaces in what feels like a spoof. What has the reaction been to works like these in the exhibition? A-I think all the works in the exhibition have received great reactions, but I haven't been around on a daily basis to give you the detailed responses. I do, however, feel that these pieces in particular reflect a strong aggressiveness in the female characters, allowing the audience to view an unexpected reality. Especially, the Ronnie Cramer piece because this is a documentary project where these actions are really taking place as opposed to planned and 'acted.' August 14, 2009 Arts Advisory & Design Studios Target Gallery’s In the Flesh II: Hands, Eyes and Upholstery? Colorado’s Ronnie Cramer’s watercolor Blue and Gray attracted much attention from gallery visitors. Amazingly priced at just $250, painted eyes and hands appear in an almost fused (or confused) form. Cramer’s work deserves a second and third look especially given its price point. - Shauna Lee Lange August 27 - 30, 2009 Landlocked Film Festival Iowa City, IA Screening of Ronnie Cramer's film Mugs September 2009 Kilter Magazine FILM FEST @ 1901 Gallery - Social Outcasts, Maniacal Women, Boob-a-Rama! On Sunday, October 4, the 1901 Gallery (1901 W. Belmont at Wolcott) will host a film fest featuring two of Ronnie Cramer’s work, Back Street Jane (1989) @ 6p and Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend (1991) @ 8p. Due to the sexual nature of the 8:00 show, 18+ only. BYOB. Donation for the gallery requested. Doors to the gallery will open thirty minutes before Back Street Jane begins screening at 6:00. This film captures two female companions-turned-partners in crime as they try to rip-off a coke-dealing thief who was involved in a past mutual companion’s murder. Shot in black and white 16 mm, it’s a low-budget yet well-done film with a nail-biting plot. Mystery Seen couldn’t describe it any clearer: 'a slick yet gritty combination of straightforward crime flick and underground art film, Cramer's tale of amoral female hustlers belies its non-existent budget, and along the way presents a memorably scary Dragon Lady.' Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend (screening around 8:00) is the story of middle-aged Marcus Templeton who is desperate for love. His free time is mostly spent watching pornography, but Marcus’ desire to have someone to hold is not nearly satiated. Dating has proved unfruitful so he resorts to hiring prostitutes, sooner or later recording his scenes so he can relive them at his loneliest. A tragic story with an unsuspecting ending, it’s a mix of “…a perceptive examination of loneliness…” (Roanoke Times) and 'Breasts-a-go-go!' (Bang). Ronnie Cramer is an independent artist, musician and film director from Colorado. His films and shorts have received critical acclaim and reached cult status.

Guest curated by the American composer Kim Cascone, the issue provides a range of commentary and context on 'sub-atomic' musical aesthetics and a window into this globally distributed community of electronic musicians. In Cascone’s own words .microsound is a fertile middle ground between 'the ivory tower of sterile academia' and 'the seizure-inducing din of the dance club.' For those unacquainted with this zone of musical production, this collection of work provides a perfect introduction. - JoAnne Green October 25, 2009 Serial Consign We launched a new issue of Vague Terrain last Friday to celebrate the tenth anniversary of .microsound.

Hitchock, Waco, Texas November 12, 2009 Gilroy Dispatch Highest quality of films since inception of festival in 2004 The growing reputation of the Poppy Jasper Film Festival is starting to attract cinematic submissions from the world's most cutting-edge independent filmmakers. The 39 short movies scheduled for Morgan Hill's home-grown film festival this year include several gems that are a pure pleasure to watch, as well as a few lumps of coal that movie-buffs will wince through. Overall, the quality of this year's offerings is the highest since the festival started in 2004. In no particular order, here are the Morgan Hill Times top 10 "must-see" movies for film fans to view at the Poppy Jasper this weekend: - 'Cost of Living': Filmmaker Larry LaFond's bizarre comedy gives audiences a glimpse of the comic side of climate change. In the near future, the planet is devastated by rising oceans and the death of species, causing two men and a woman to struggle to peacefully exist with each other in a tiny Pittsburg apartment. - 'Furtissimo': In this hilarious animated film made by Jacob Cementina, a cat named Fluffy dreams of being an opera diva but must contend with his fellow felines who are into creating a jazz ensemble. The film's computer-generated images are a subtle tribute to the cartoon artistry of Chuck Jones who brought animals to celluloid life. - 'The Road': Owen Thomas created a short film about karma. The story explores how a chain reaction of good deeds can be started by the simplest of actions - in this case, inserting a coin in a stranger's parking meter to prevent a ticket. The unexpected twist at the end involving duct tape will definitely gain a chuckle out of people with a perverse sense of humor. - 'True Beauty That Night': Peter Besson's unusual romance story is beautifully filmed and the performers create wonderfully eccentric characters. The film offers an O'Henry ending that will leave audiences wondering what crazy actions people might take when they fall in love. - 'The Visited': Filmmaker James Caballero has created a low-budget science-fiction horror flick that draws viewers into a strange story about a nerdy writer who finds himself possessed by a murderous alien entity. Caballero uses off-focus cinematography to turn bookshelves in a university library into an evil maze haunted by disturbing images. The acting can sometimes be stiff and the dialogue is often unrealistic. But the shocking twist in the last second of the movie will leave hearts pounding. - 'Mugs': This four-minute film experiment by Ronnie Cramer is simple in concept but fascinating to watch because it shows the seedier side of the rich and famous. One hundred police mug shots - including Mel Gibson, O.J. Simpson, and Bill Gates - morph in a continuous image-stream set to pounding music. - 'Land Gewinnen (Gaining Ground)': This 21-minute film was made by Marc Brummund at the prestigious Hamburg Media School. It is by far the best-crafted short film in this year's PJFF lineup. The story focuses on an unmarried Ukrainian couple living illegally in Germany who must deal with the anxiety of being deported if they enroll their young son Mischa in public school. This emotionally-charged story puts a human perspective on the issues illegal immigrants daily face in living in a society where they must keep their true identities secret. - 'The Peony Pavilion': In this animated short by Zian Liu based on a well-loved Chinese fairy tale by the Ming Dynasty playwright Tang Xianzu, a young woman falls in love with a scholar she meets in a dream. The film is well-worth seeing for the lyrical qualities of the drawings as well as the sensuous traditional Chinese music. - 'Shadow.Net': John V. Knowles's science-fiction flick takes viewers into the strange world of online movie piracy where nothing is what it seems and no one should be trusted. The 20-minute film is top-heavy with too much exposition at the beginning. But once the real story gets started, the audience meets an assortment of fascinating characters that might have stepped out of a Dashiell Hammett novel if that mystery writer put his pen to modern sci-fi. - 'Point of Entry': This 27-minute documentary by Zeus Quijano, Jr., depicts the struggles of a young illegal immigrant in the United States dreaming of financially helping his struggling family in Mexico. The blatantly stark cinematography captures the social and economic challenges of two nations divided by an ugly border fence. - Martin Cheek November 12 - December 5, 2009 Los Angeles Center For Digital Art 107 W. Fifth St. Los Angeles, CA 90013 Art exhibition featuring multi-media art by Ronnie Cramer November 12 - 15, 2009 Poppy Jasper Film Festival Morgan Hill, CA Screening of Ronnie Cramer's film Mugs November 13 - December 1, 2009 Allied Artists of America 15 Grammercy Park South New York, NY 10003 Art exhibition featuring paintings by Ronnie Cramer November 17, 2009 Courier Post Rowan video exhibition explores American culture and traditions Rowan University Art Gallery presents 'Hurts So Good,' a video exhibition that confronts culture and traditions in America. The works celebrate, critique and satirize representations of American culture and traditions related to sex, religion, politics, economics, technology, popular culture, media and family. 'Hurts So Good' is on display from November 19, 2009 January 8, 2010. The exhibit features 11 acclaimed artists from the region and across the country: Skip Arnold (Los Angeles), Ronnie Cramer (Denver), Chris Crocker (Los Angeles), Kara Crombie (Philadelphia), George Kuchar (San Francisco), J. Makary (Philadelphia), Chris Miner (New York), Laurel Nakadate (New York City), Mika Rottenberg (New York City), Sarah Stuve (New York City) and Jenny Vosacek (Belmont, CA). Arnold's 'Marks' is rooted in the tradition of extreme body based work and shows the artist throwing himself at a wall until he finally collapses; Cramer's 'Highway Amazon' tells the story of Christine Fetzer, a female bodybuilder who travels the country wrestling men on beds in hotel rooms. November 17, 2009 Philadelphia Inquirer Arts & Entertainment Rowan videofest The mysteriously beautiful, cerebral, rather majestic video installations that got so much real estate in large museum surveys of the 1990s may soon be a thing of the past. At least, that's the impression given by the works of the 11 video artists in 'Hurts So Good,' an exhibition curated by Jenny Drumgoole and Jennie Thwing for the Rowan University Art Gallery. Most of these videos are less than 10 minutes long and displayed on small monitors, and their stylistic forebears are home movies, cult feature and documentary films, pop-music videos, and confessional TV shows and ads. They're more YouTube than high art. Quite a few of the videos in this show are amusing and disturbing. Ronnie Cramer's Highway Amazon (2001), a documentary about a female bodybuilder who makes a living wrestling men in hotel rooms, borrows the look of a Russ Meyer sexploitation film; Jenny Vosacek's documentary film Caregiver Challenge (2005) is only a little less strange than the Maysles brothers' Grey Gardens, and perhaps on a par, since it follows the activities of her own eccentric mother.
