UPDATE - 1/26@9:21AM: Andrew Olson conducted a great interview with filmmaker Ari Gold which he's posted over at his Neil Peart fansite at this link.

Adventures of Power is an indie film which chronicles the adventures of air-drummer extraordinaire Power (played by filmmaker Ari Gold) and contains a cameo from Neil Peart along with a slew of Rush references including a Tom Sawyer air drum-off. It first hit the film festival circuit back in early 2008 and made its theatrical debut last fall. Back in 2009 Neil Peart and Ari Gold paid a visit to the Drum Channel studios to film an air drum-off video which you can check out here. The film was released to DVD today and you can order a copy at this link. The DVD contains over 60 minutes of bonus material including deleted scenes with Jane Lynch, a rare music video with Adrian Grenier, and the 25-minute Drum Channel interview and air drum-off with Neil Peart. There will be a DVD launch party and charity auction this Thursday, January 27th in Los Angeles which will feature a live performance by the Adrian Grenier's indie folk-rock band the Honey Bros. The charity auction/fundraiser will support music education via VH1 Save the Music and will feature drums from Ringo Starr, Neil Peart, Lars Ulrich, Marky Ramone, Ween, Weezer, Judas Priest, Dresden Dolls, and many more.
