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!
