"Self Portrait" Screens in France

Self Portrait, Robert Moran, Downtown Los Angeles (directed by Robert Moran, produced by Anne LaBarbera and Ted Fisher) will screen on Sunday, May 15, 2016, at Festival International Entr'2 Marches in Cannes, France.

"Organized in parallel with the Cannes Festival (11 - 22 May 2016), the Festival treats and develops the theme of handicap through the production and making of short films (less than 26 minutes, subtitled in French): whether fiction, reporting, documentaries, communication films, workshop films or amateur audiovisual attempts, they are selected and then entered in the competition. All types of handicap are addressed: mental, auditory, visual, motor, psychic, autism...."

"The 7th Edition of the International Festival Entr'2 Marches, will take place from Sunday 15 to Friday 20 May 2016 in the projection room located 45 rue de Mimont, kindly loaned by the Town of Cannes and equipped with facilities which make it easily accessible to people with reduced mobility (MRP), as well as to any other public in a situation of handicap: subtitles of films in French and for most of them in English, audiodescription, magnetic loop, presentation of the sessions in French Sign Language (FSL) by the film director and President of the Association « Sourd Métrage » Olivier MARCHAL, simultaneous subtitling of the discussions.... 

"From the 250 to 400 films received each year from about fifty countries, 39 short films of 13 different nationalities make up the official selection of the International Festival Entr'2 Marches 2016."

We are very honored to be an Official Selection. The film is short (just three minutes) but carries an important message.

Interurban

Just got back from the Interurban Film Festival. Screened The Texas Sun on Saturday.

The Rialto Theatre is classic -- it goes back to 1920. Denison is also great, and was hosting an arts festival, so we strolled Main Street in between blocks of films.

I was interviewed about the festival and about "The Texas Sun" by the Herald Democrat:

Interurban Film Festival offers rewarding experience to viewers, filmmakers

Filmmaker Ted Fisher submitted his six-minute documentary “The Texas Sun.” Because his love for film making has taken him and his family around the country, he said the sun was noticeably different in Texas and thought it would be interesting to see what others thought about the fiery ball in the sky.

“When we came to Texas, we noticed that the sun itself was a little different than we were used to living in other states and that we had a different relationship with it. We would walk and it was more intense in some places so we started thinking of it as a person,” Fisher said. “The documentary has a lot of people talking about their relationship with the Texas sun as if it’s a friend or maybe more than a friend and their loves and hates about the sun.”

"Dry" Screens at the Miniature Film Festival

My 60-second, 100-word film "Dry" will screen in Vancouver at the Miniature Film Festival on Wednesday, March 30, 2016.

The festival is all about 60-second films:

The Miniature Film Festival is exactly what it sounds like - a small celebration of small films. We want to acknowledge and promote filmmakers who make one-minute micro short films. We definitely aren't trying to pass ourselves off as a bigger festival because we are not big at all. We are a new start-up festival that wants to help create a community for tiny films and the ingenious filmmakers who make them - a miniature festival for miniature films!

The Texas Sun at Thin Line Film Festival

As far as I know, no one was hurt when the letter "L" fell off the sign.

South Texas Underground Film Festival

Our short documentary Sound Piece will screen at the South Texas Underground Film Festival on December 2, 2015 in Corpus Christi, Texas. The film was made by Justin Hazlett and myself, and is a very brief study on how people use public art works in unexpected ways.

The film's logline is:

We think of a public art work as a visual object, meant for the eye. But what happens when viewers find other ways to play with the art?

So, if you are near Corpus Christi ... you should go see it.

AS Film Festival

Our short documentary Self Portrait, Robert Moran, Downtown Los Angeles will screen at the AS Film Festival in Rome this November.

The film is directed by Robert Moran, photographed by Anne LaBarbera, and edited by me. (I'm a producer on the film also.) The film's logline is:

Robert Moran, a bi-racial filmmaker diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, discusses work, life, and Los Angeles.

The AS Film Festival noted that 1,400 films were submitted this year, so we are very honored to be included in the official selection. 

Västerås Filmfestival

My short documentary Dry will screen at Västerås Filmfestival in Sweden in November. The film will be part of the "Minute Films" selection.

In Swedish, the film's logline is:

En man som söker den perfekta cocktailen.

I think that says it all, really.

100 Words Film Festival

My short documentary Dry will screen at the 100 Words Film Festival on November 6th or 7th at the McGlohon Theater in Charlotte, North Carolina. It's an amazing event:

The 100 Words Film Festival celebrates concise, cinematic storytelling. Each film must deliver a compelling tale using exactly 100 words, challenging filmmakers to focus on the essence of the story.

So, if you are in NC, you should go and see it.
