Francis DiPietro: "Drink the Summer Sky"
A soft and reflective song that can sometimes change your mood, like a good dose of valerian root. Images evoke memories in a fine, kaleidoscopic mist. Thoughtful vocals and a simple tune allow the listener to paint additional pictures, and hopefully find something personal and meaningful within. Created by author Francis DiPietro (Mandrake, thatword.com).
Strong political statements are expressed in the form of music, words and images which collide together in a violent starburst of color and sound. Created by Francis DiPietro, author of over a dozen novels and founder of the band Mandrake. You won't regret watching this, but be prepared!
Let Captain Petey be your guide through the wonderful, rarely-seen adult world of lighthouses. From vomiting down a spiral staircase to the simple pleasures of getting drunk on the beach, Captain Petey shares memories you won't easily forget. Created by Francis DiPietro, author of over a dozen novels. They all contain both mature and immature content. Mr. DiPietro's current whereabouts are unknown, due to a faulty tracking tag.
Forged by a demon. Foretold by a wizard. Found by a king. This is a "psychological fantasy," with dark and brooding characters and a wry levity. Very much in the storytelling traditions of Robert E. Howard and Roger Zelazny. A sweeping, morose fantasy whose thoughtful elements are heightened by an eventual maudlin comedy. First true fantasy to fully incorporate a gay, "brokeback" wizard. From the demented mind of author Francis DiPietro.

During WWII Corporal Francis Seibert of Defiance, Ohio wrote to his family almost daily, illustrating his envelopes with elaborate cartoons--all 614 of these letters were lovingly saved by his mother.
This award winning documentary takes the 82-year-old Seibert through a historic journey as he revisits those letters for the first time in over 60 years.
Throughout all of these letters the underlying message is how important family is, how we take for granted what we have until it is taken away from us, and how often it takes a tragic situation to express how we really feel.
