GRAMPS premieres in Atlanta

I am ecstatic that GRAMPS will screen at the Atlanta Mirco Film Festival.

This fast-paced one-day event brings together an exciting mix of filmmakers and film lovers to celebrate short-form storytelling at its boldest. From dark comedies and experimental pieces to animation, documentaries, and clever micro-horror, they showcase films that make their mark and leave you thinking. The festival is all about films that say a lot in very little time. Every film is under five minutes, but the ideas, emotions, and surprises are anything but small.

Screenings take place on May 10th, at the Limelight Theater with curated blocks throughout the day, filmmaker Q&As, and a laid-back vibe that keeps things fresh and welcoming. GRAMPS screens in “Quick Frights” Shorts#7 starting at 6:30 pm. Hurry up and tell your friends in Atlanta, tickets are selling out quickly.

Let’s make some NOISE in Wisconsin!

The MidWest WeirdFest picked up NOISE and will screen it on March 9 at 12 p.m. at the Micon Downtown Cinema in Eau Claire in Shorts#4, “THE W[EIRD] FILES.”

As one of Filmfreeway’s top 100 reviewed festivals, it is dedicated to exhibiting and promoting independent films and focuses on weird cinema from all around the world. The festival team wants MidWest WeirdFest to evoke the awe and chills of the sideshow alley of a dark carnival, a place filled with wonders, terrors, and forbidden surprises. So join us for a night of frights and enjoy NOISE on the big screen.

Bonnie Rose & Zenon Zeleniuch

I had the pleasure of shooting GLENDALE PARADISE in New York last year with Sibyl Reymundo-Santiago, John Theobald, a fantastic crew, an amazing cast, and the fabulous team of PlanetX.

The story takes place in the near future. Sam, an elderly man living in a seemingly perfect assisted care facility, begins to suspect that the video chat connecting him to his loved ones is not what it seems. When he uncovers the shocking truth, Sam must decide whether to accept the fabricated reality or risk everything to expose the truth, even as some of his fellow residents cling to the illusion of a perfect world…

I am looking forward to more screenings!

 

A FRIENDLY TURN in Wyoming

I am delighted that A FRIENDLY TURN runs at the Wyoming International Film Festival in Cheyenne. On July 11 the film will screen at 5:15 pm in the Program #Connections with other shorts about friends, family, love, & loss.

The Wyoming International Film Festival says about itself, that it isn’t just another film fest, it’s a 5 day celebration of filmmakers and art from around the world! Screenings in a state-of-the-art theater, filmmakers Q&As, live dance, live music, unique western experiences, art and photography exhibitions, and nightly parties give filmmakers ample opportunity to network and exhibit their work – and most important of all – have a blast while visiting Wyoming!
