 Accordionist Matthew Dubas, from the band Svitanok (a.k.a. Liquid Gypsies), has a small part in the film ‘Higher Ground’, playing an accordion salesman, in a minor role flashback scene, who tries to convince an eight-year-old character that the accordion is her instrument. Starring Vera Farmiga, Donna Murphy and John Hawkes, ‘Higher Ground’ is described by one reviewer as a beautiful and stirring tale based on a personal memoir about a woman who, after growing up in a Christian church, starts asking questions about what she's been taught. ‘Higher Ground’, an independent production, directed by Vera Farmiga, and released by Sony Pictures Classics, opens on August 26th in New York and Los Angeles, with nationwide dates to follow. Matthew recalls, “It was a great experience. The accordion used in the film is a Titano Grand pearl white. It was a challenge getting accustomed to the smaller keyboard as I picked up the box for the first time the day of filming the scene”. |
