THE MOUNTAIN, THE RIVER AND THE ROAD at the Northwest Film Forum

Mark your calendar for the next screening of The Mountain, The River and The Road at The Northwest Film Forum on SEPTEMBER 25th at 9pm!!!

We're playing as part of the Arboring Film Program which presents a great selection of local films that the Film Forum had a part in bringing into the world (think "harboring film," not "abhorring film" and definitely not "a boring film"). In addition to a few grants from the Film Forum, I actually met Joe Swanberg (Tom) at the their Local Sightings party. Read about it at the calendar page for the film HERE.

And buy your tickets HERE.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this is a perfect opportunity to fill in that MRR sized gap in your life.

Looking for a reason to see it again? This is the final final (for now) version of The Mountain, The River and The Road. It’s been re-color timed by the talented Ryan Adams, and Ryan McMackin's cinematography looks better than ever! It includes two new (and previously unreleased) tracks from Federation X and Trophy Hunter. And best of all, it’s two minutes shorter, which gets you out of the theater and into the bar that much sooner to stave off the DTs!

What's that? Not in Seattle but dying to get your eyes on this great film? Well I may have some exciting news for you in the very near future, but in the mean time, if you have a local art house or venue you’d like to see it play, bug 'em about it and send me their info so I can bug ‘em a little too (my email is mikeharring-AT-hotmail-dot-com).

Hope to see you on the 25th!

SCREENING - The Mountain, The River and The Road - Northwest Projections 2010!

I’m proud to say that The Mountain, The River and The Road has been chosen to be the Opening Night Film of Northwest Projections at the Pickford Center in Bellingham, WA on April 16th at 7:30pm (address)!

For more info about the fest, go HERE!

And don’t forget that admission to the fest also gets you access to the Opening Night Party at Chuckanut Brewery!

Hope to see you all there and please pass the word to anyone who might not get these mailings but might be interested in seeing the movie!

Happy last week of March!

Oxford Film Festival Wrap Up!

My God, what an amazing time we had at the Oxford Film Festival!

What a warm and welcoming staff (my good luck with festivals continues)! Great films and filmmakers. It was a wonderful time all around.

It's not a party 'till the cops are called out and we were happy to oblige (sorry Melanie)!

If you have a chance to attend this festival I couldn't recommend it highly enough. With the focus on fewer smaller films that aren't necessarily surfing on buzz, there's a great sense of discovery, and thanks to the amazing job of the programmers, you feel like you're discovering movies that really are outstanding. It's criminal how some of these films aren't screening more!

In order to do my part to help out here are some of my favorites...

Bicycle Lane



Ruggies and Don have promised to move to Seattle where we're all going to live together!



D-tour

I don't want to say too much about this movie, I'm including the trailer, but it's bigger than the trailer might lead you to believe. Extremely powerful, you won't be able to watch without being moved. PBS picked it up for Independent Lens, it's worth your time!





Dive!

Fun and informative this doc will open your eyes while putting a smile on your face. While most docs might feel content just asking some of the questions put forth in the movie, it's extremely satisfying to see the filmmaker and his friends taking action and making change instead of idly standing by and asking someone else to do it.

Trailer...HERE!



Wheedle's Groove

Our Seattle partners in crime, director Jennifer Maas and editor Michelle Whitten decided to have a small get together in their hotel room after the awards ceremony. Word got out like wild fire and it became the official afterparty. Their magnetism is equally applicable to their film, Wheedle's Groove, which is about the little known Seattle Soul scene of the 60s and 70s.





More info...HERE!

Somewhere out there are photos of Jennifer and Michelle doing some wicked keg stands from the last night of the festival...

"I Am A Man - From Memphis, A Lesson In Life"

Finally, our friend John Hubble, who we met in Memphis, has taken his movie about the 1968 Sanitation Worker's strike all over the US, but that doesn't mean you should take it for granted.

I'm leaving quite a bit out so you should check out Todd Gilcrest's great write up of the fest for Cinematical, which you can read HERE.

You can see more festival photos HERE.

Also, just found THIS recap on Melanie's Site: Oxford Film Freak.


I miss you Oxford!!!

In case you've forgotten...

The Mountain, The River and The Road is the denial of responsibility, a failed road trip, a dead bear and a brush with love. It stars Justin Rice (Mutual Appreciation, Alexander The Last), Tipper Newton (LOL, Hannah Takes The Stairs) and Joe Swanberg (Nights and Weekends, LOL).
