For NYC area filmmakers who may be attending the Evil City Film Festival this weekend - my second short film, "Checking In" will be screening this Friday afternoon at 4PM in the Millennium Theater. It will be part of a larger short film block.

From one on-line reviewer: "Dean Evans is hilarious as an inept dreadlocked thief who finds his situation becoming ever the more complicated as he attempts to rob a hotel and is interrupted by a militant cop, and an intrusive difficult customer (“Got a key there, fragglerock?”). Gelder, who has a knack for storytelling, introduces a plot twist that you will not see coming that was executed with an almost ingenious style, and I was left with my jaw hanging down when the credits finished rolling."

"Checking In" was chosen "Best Of The Fest MicroPicture" in 2006 by the Bare Bones Script-2-Screen Film Festival and was awarded "Best Opening Scene" at the 2007 Seattle True Independent Film Festival.

Thanks!

Great news Steve! Hope everything goes well!

(thread moved to screening dates BTW)

Thanks, John - and thanks for the move...tried to figure out where best to post it, and eventually just defaulted to the forum.

no worries. I made the same mistake myself a while ago (with a screening date).

Enjoy the show -- hopefully someone can make it from the forum to give a report!

Wish you all the best, Have a good time! :)

Thanks! Wish I could actually be in attendence, but time and money make that an impossibility.

I'll also be missing the premiere of a film I edited this weekend at the "A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival" in, natch, Sacramento, CA. "Bedrock" producer Mary London was interviewed about the film. The video from the newscast is here:
