Flashback to Indie Memphis 2009

This seems appropriate since I just wrapped up authoring the final DVD for The Mountain, The River and The Road yesterday! With any luck it'll be out soon. The movie looks better than ever and there will even be some cool special features.

Just a reminder, that screening is just three days away on Saturday, September 26th at 11am @ Alabama Power.

The Local Sightings schedule is up - check it out at www.localsightings.org Tickets do not seem to be available yet, but should be in the next couple days.

Also, Indie Memphis has posted their schedule. We'll be screening on Friday, October, 9th at 5:45pm at Studio on the Square.

I'll have more info on Indie Memphis soon!

Also at local sightings, my video for Sleepy Eyes of Death is showing as part of the shorts block titled "Abstractions" on Tuesday, October 6th at 9pm. I'll also be part of a music video film saloon on Sunday, October 4th at 7pm (this one's FREE!).

Finally, while I may not be able to do much blog updating I plan on sending out mini-updates via facebook. If you're interested feel free to say hi and friend me.

Have a happy weekend everyone!

MRR Screenings In October

If you haven't heard already, The Mountain, The River and The Road will play at Indie Memphis in October! Indie Memphis is run by festival director Erik Jambor, who used to run Sidewalk, one of the first festivals to play my short films. It’s a real pleasure to play Indie Memphis, I’ve heard nothing but great things since Erik took the reigns.

Also in October, MRR will be playing as part of the Northwest Film Forum’s Local Sightings in Seattle. I hope I’m not letting the cat out of the bag on this one, but I figure I’ve been telling everyone else about it, I may as well make it official! The NWFF has supported me ever since “Cardinal,” my first short. They’ve awarded me grants for most of my locally produced films since, making it possible for me to continue making movies on a tight budget. I look forward to screening MRR in its hometown!

While exact dates and times are not yet available, make sure to mark your calendars. Local Sightings runs from October 2nd – 7th and Indie Memphis runs from October 8th -15th.

Look here for more info as it becomes available!
