Mom’s visit was a success. We all enjoyed our time together immensely.
I was approached to submit a short film I made a while ago to the Newfest and recently heard back that it will be screening on June 12th at 6pm at the Lowe’s 34th Street Theater. I’m very excited to be a part of the festival and seeing my film in a major theater space.
The coolest thing is Guy Madden has a short film in my program. His film, "The Saddest Music in the World" is one of my favorite films I’ve seen this year. His short is called “Sissy Boy Slap Party”. It came in the special features of the Saddest Music DVD. It’s as funny as it sounds.
The editing slowly continues on the film, but we’re making progress.
On a side note, we went and saw Star Wars last night. The only aspect worth mentioning is the special effects. Amazing. Other than that, I don’t think it can be discussed as a “film” for all its flaws in direction, acting, dialogue and plot. Of course, that’s not why anyone goes to see it anyway.
