2010 marks the $100 Film Festival's seventh Annual Film/ Music Explosion! This year brought in an amazing amount of musical submissions, but in the end only three can be chosen!
This year's $100 Film Festival festures film and music collaborations by:
Band: The Psychic Alliance
The Psychic Alliance began expanding people’s minds through music a little under a year ago, through their psychedelic rock and high-energy shows. Although relatively new to the scene, The Psychic Alliance are no stranger to the road playing some of their first shows to audiences outside of Calgary when they embarked on an impromptu tour through the Okanagan last year. You can expect this local Calgary band will plowing their chaotic rock and roll train all over the world and right into space.

band: Deere John
dubbed as ‘prairie-pop for the masses’, and taking influence from such great Canadian acts as The Northern Pikes, The Waltons, TPOH, and Lowest of the Low - Deere John are a power-pop quartet based out of calgary. Melodic and memorable stories for everyman - Deere John are an inviting, though slightly jaded brand of prairie-pop. A guitar-driven sound with pop flavouring that will bend your ear without breaking it. They Reel listeners in with stories you would swear could be your own, hooks that are instantly familiar and melodies that you won't be able to stop singing.

band: The Ex-Boyfriends
Loud and Raucous rock and roll with guitars and drums and songs and lyrics. sometimes it stampedes; sometimes it stomps; sometimes it struts. people who listen to the voidoids more often than the descendants or discharge tend to call it punk, and it's adulterated with rhythm and blues, glam, garage, psych and whATEVER ELSE SEEMS APPROPRIATE AND OPPORTUNE. AND IT ALL SOUNDS REALLY, REALLY GOOD OR ELSE WE TOSS IT.

Filmmaker: Paul Boyd
Stuff Productions was born out of necessity for the first film of owner, Paul Boyd.
As a graduate of broadcasting at Mt. Royal College and a Lighting Technician for large budget films that come to Calgary, AB, Paul was itching to direct and produce his own films and projects.
cauliflower ear & The Modern Day Warrior needed a production company to bring it to life, and with Boyd wanting to maintain creative control, Stuff Productions was born.
