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 and sold thousands of copies on videocassette and DVD. 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.' 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. Highway Amazon, Ronnie's first documentary film, won two Aurora Awards and was named Best Documentary - Experimental Genre at the New York International Independent Film Festival. Westword called Highway Amazon 'outrageously weird and funny' and it was named Best Documentary at the Miami Short Film Festival. Highway Amazon has 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 latest work is Pillow Girl, which has been screened around the world and was named Best Experimental Film at the Miami Short Film Festival, the Golden Star Shorts Fest and the Coney Island Film Festival; it was also named Best Animated Short at the Denver Underground Film Festival and chosen for the 2005 Colorado Film Biennial.

The resulting sound files were then processed and remixed into the soundtrack for Pillow Girl film; the visual portion of the film makes use of the 150 covers, with one illustrated figure morphing into the next every two seconds.

'Quiet Please' is a film document of the (almost) two minutes of silence that occurred between Cramer's responses.' Without that description, however, this film is weird and pointless. - Mike Hughes and Robin Swartz March 24 - May 1, 2006 Green Lantern Studios Mineral Point, WI Art exhibition featuring paintings by Ronnie Cramer March 31 - April 2, 2006 Foursite Film Festival Ogden, UT Screening of Ronnie Cramer's film Quiet Please April 1 - May 5, 2006 Englewood Cultural Arts Center Englewood, CO Art exhibition featuring paintings by Ronnie Cramer April 7, 2006 Mirage Art Gallery 2557 Walnut St. Denver, CO Screening of Ronnie Cramer's film Pillow Girl April 20 - 26, 2006 Nashville Film Festival Nashville, TN Screening of Ronnie Cramer's film Quiet Please April 20 - 26, 2006 Harry M.
