And on a very different note – a blog/information free-for-all/website that I’ve found absolutely wonderful and thought provoking in these tumultuous indie film times is Truly Free Film – written by producer Ted Hope. It’s not as much a call to action as it a bevy of ideas, information and solutions to nurturing and expanding our film culture. In my opinion, it’s a must read if you’re a media-maker.
In the slowly putting some of my works online project, here is a short film from 2004 called CREMAINS. Narrated by actor Steve Shearer and friend Marilyn Rodriguez, this short film sprouted from a much lengthier piece (never produced) called The Painted Ones that I had developed with good friend Aaron Vega. The Painted Ones never saw the light of day, but CREMAINS came to life and it’s a short film I am very proud of — and it’s done very well screening around the world. Music by the most prolific musician on the planet, Graham Reynolds.
The Overbrook Brothers will be screening in London, England as part of the 17th Raindance Film Festival. The lineup is a great one, including Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience, Ry Russo-Young’s You Won’t Miss Me – and many, many more. If you happen to be in London on Monday, October 5th – please come out and support the film! It’s one that I am incredibly proud of and it’s great to see in an audience setting (because it’s damn funny).
17th Annual Raindance Film Festival (London) – September 30th thru October 11th, 2009 Screening Date/Time: Monday, October 5th at 7:30PM – Apollo Cinema
I’ve been hesitant to post some of my shorter films online in the past. Part of me was being old-fashioned and another part of me simply liked the idea that these kinds of works had to be seen in festivals or microcinemas or DVD compilations. That said, over the course of the next few months, I am going to start uploading some of my shorter works – and see where that gets me.
So, first up is TRAUMA, a short film I made a few years ago with a lot of help in post-production from the wonderful designer Mike Nicholson and the talented sound man extraordinaire, Mr. Bob Kellough.
The film I produced this past year, THE OVERBROOK BROTHERS, has a handful of upcoming screenings in the next two months. We’ve had a pretty good festival run in 2009 so far and I’m excited we’re going to continue on with many, many more screenings over the course of the fall.
