Nolan Stolz

Working off his crippling rent debt, an aimless grad student toils away his summer break under the thumb of his evil landlord. When his disdain for his landlord reaches its peak, he concocts a devious plan to get rid of her for good.

This is a 3 hour documentary about the summer of 2024 through the eyes of independent film phenom Steven Reifsteck aka Janice.Click as he/she tours around the country meeting up with friends and shooting movies along the way.

Composer Nolan Stolz performs the 2020 “COVID” version of his composition Gravitation, an open instrumentation piece for any 5 to 8 performers. Instead of having several musicians unsafely “uncomfortably crowd around one another” on stage like in the original version, this “COVID” version was performed by a single musician overdubbing all of the parts. Stolz uses the medium of video to present his composition in a way impossible in live performance. This version includes two electric guitars, two bass guitars, three synthesizers, drum set, found objects/percussion (wood against wood, metal against metal, and wood against metal). Completed in 2021, it was recorded and filmed in Spartanburg, SC and Belle, MO during a summer 2020 artist residency at Osage Arts Community.
