Mark Seligeris putting his talents to great use both in front and behind the camera.
“There’s a few different paint brushes that helped carve these new songs. The film for ‘Ain’t Over Me’ was the intersection of so many art forms (music, cinema, theater, dance) alongside my very talented friendsKatie Holmesand Twyla Tharp,” Seliger, 63, tells PEOPLE.

“Being able to direct this film and collaborate with Twyla and her awe-inspiring dancers, and of course with Katie, was the perfect casting for this all-encompassing, theatrical experience we wanted to create. I can’t imagine a better way to set the tone for our new album coming out next year.”
Holmes, 43, who starred alongsideBenjamin Freemantlein the film, said she enjoyed the creative process to execute the project, telling PEOPLE, “Working with Mark and Twyla together was this profound creative experience where I felt like I was able to be the embodiment of a phrase of the poem they carefully crafted together.”
“I learned so much about the power of movement through a lens and how that movement hits different notes of the emotional life of the characters creating this enchanting balance of beauty and layered human feelings,” she explains.

“The songs are raw and vulnerable, grappling with longing, desire, and redemption through a series of intimate, character-driven vignettes, and Campbell’s production and arrangements are rich and cinematic to match, blending old school country tradition with the lush, theatrical flare of a film score,” a press release described the forthcoming album.
