In February 2019, filmmaker Rahima Rice premiered Making & Breaking, a uniquely clever short film about the beginning and end of a romantic relationship, with some fun in between. The film includes two songs by Changamiré. One year later, it won the People’s Choice Award at the OLA Film Festival, an effort by the Omicron Lambda Alpha – APA fraternity that supports emerging filmmakers.
During the Coronavirus quarantine, Omicron Lambda Alpha is showing online the films from their inaugural 2020 festival. Making & Breaking is scheduled for Monday, June 29 at 8:00 PM followed by a talk with Rahima Rice.

In collaboration with ingenious advertising developer, Bernd Ahle, Changamiré is proud to participate in The Seven Tones Project, an effort that brings musicians and filmmakers together from around the world to honor the music of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. A secondary aspect of the project is to demonstrate what artists can create with limited resources, as a result of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic.
Presenting Duke’s I Got It Bad, the Changamiré/Bernd Ahle film can be seen on YouTube by clicking here.
It was not hard to come up with an idea for the cover of the Only Human album, but how could the idea of Love be captured on a cover?
The question was posed to artists around the world, resulting in the work of 10 spectacular finalists being selected by art industry experts and exhibited at the former Parish Gallery in Washington, DC. The winner: Tricia Boyce of California, whose brilliant multimedia work was photographed for the Love album.
Printed in a limited quantity, you may purchase the Love Fine Art Poster on the Music page (click here), and it will be shipped directly from our squeaky-clean office to your location.
