Immersing himself in music and new media gives Randy Frykas' work a sense of tension and pace that has served him well on numerous nationally broadcast documentaries and series. As comfortable behind the camera as he is in the edit suite, Frykas' body of work is impressive and varied. Having edited over thirty documentaries, including the Gemini-Award winning 'Hockey Brawl: Battle on Thin Ice' (CTV, 2006), 'Sabrina's Law' (Global Television/NFB, 2007) and 'Polygamy's Lost Boys' (Global Currents, 2006), Frykas has fused words and images that are at once moving and provocative. In early 2008, he edited the 'Reconcile' music video for Sights & Sounds (Smallman Records), meticulously bonding thousands of photographs to create complex animated performance and storyline sequences. In creating 'Call to Arms: The Story of The Royal Albert', Frykas saw a way to communicate the invaluable contribution a dingy, low track hotel has made to the music scene both locally and internationally. 'The Albert and the people that go there deserve a lot more credit but it's been the same situation for years, it isn't new. It should get more credit, but will it? Probably not and that's ok.' Making 'Call to Arms' required a willingness to step back and allow The Albert's story to emerge through the experiences and emotions of those closest to it. Frykas deliberately allowed the character of the place dictate his direction, rather than limiting himself to predetermined ideas. The result is a raw, unrepentant story as gritty as the icon that inspired it. In 2008 Frykas completed production on the Comeback Kid 'Through the Noise' DVD. Directing and editing the 'Live in Leipzig' concert portion, the DVD was released world-wide in October 2008. Also included on the DVD is a one-hour biography documentary entitled 'Our Distance', which he edited/co-wrote. Most recently he completed the documentary 'The Ones Who Make It Through'. The film features independent Winnipeg band High Five Drive as they embark on their fourth European tour. Frykas went on the road for five weeks with the band, following them through their European tour of 32 shows in 34 days in ten countries.
