The Brave One

Haven't had much time lately to throw some thoughts here online... things like:
- a new obesity calculator
- theories on photography
- the latest for Bystander
- birthday festivities
- new york real estate market

Sorry for the silence. But it's been for a good reason. Namely a film called The Brave One. A film where the woman (Jodie Foster) recovers from a brutal attack and sets out on a dark, psychological and physical journey for revenge and justice. Terrence Howard plays a cop who has a tough choice to make... and there's much more to say about it - like how I got here, what I've been doing, and where I'm headed after the wrap party on Saturday - but that's going to have to be another time, too...

...but soon!

BYSTANDER at LA Shorts and Denver World Cinema!

More good news to share with you about BYSTANDER! We have been selected to participate in two more festivals: the Denver World Cinema Film Festival and the LA Shorts Film Festival.

LA Shorts Film Festival is
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 9TH
10pm

This is an ACADEMY ELIGIBLE festival, and attendance to the screening really helps to bolster the success of the short at the festival. So if you missed the previous screening, want to check out some great shorts, or those of you that worked on the project want to show off your talents to friends and family I urge to COME TO THE SCREENING! I don’t think you’ll find a better screening time, venue, and festival...

Here is how the information is shown on their website:
******************************************************
10:00 pm 88 min theatre 12

Program #61: LA Filmmaker's Showcase
The following shorts deal with patriotism. Watch the
characters in these films and study how they are in
situations and make decisions to do the right thing
for their country.

Player Interrupted
Untitled Depression
Roma Sub Rosa: The Secret Under the Rose
Mayflower 2006
Soldier
PFC Krieger
Bystander
*****************************************************

As you can see we’ve gotten a prime time screening slot, which bodes well for the potential success of the film at the festival. The LA Shorts Film Festival usually screens at the ARC light theatre on 6360 W. Sunset Blvd (near Amoeba records), which is one of the nicest theatres in the world. For further information go to: www.lashortsfest.com.

I’m sure we’ll be arranging an after party of some kind and I'm hoping to be in Los Angeles for the screening, so please keep in touch! I'll let you know when we have more information on the Denver World Cinema Film Festival... Thanks so much to those of you that helped make this possible!
