We’re all just trying to make it. The hustle; the grind; putting pedal to the metal (literally, in some cases), trying our damnedest to make our dreams come true. These shorts remind us to shoot for the stars, but maybe don’t quit your day job…. Join us for ‘LIVIN’ THE DREAM’ SHORTS on Friday, May 1 at 6pm at Village East Cinema.
Films Include: The Actor @theactor.film Creator by @jonpivko You Will Enjoy This Film by @demonsnap@fortunefilm Bent by @samb0nes and Choy: The Making Of by @maxwell.smj
It seems only fitting on 420 to honor Jeff Franklin portrayed by @kyledubiel and announce that Creator has the good fortune of a selection to the Lower Eastside Film Festival @lesfilmfestival where it will screen on Friday, May 1st at Village East Cinema. This festival has put together a tremendous lineup so it is an honor to be included. LESFF feels like the perfect home for this story and their “Livin’ The Dream” Shorts block. See their site for screening and ticket times.
Creator, the little short film that I wrote 3 years ago and has officially become a documentary, had a truly wonderful screening @njfilmfestival in February. The college students in attendance resonated with the exploration of digital oblivion and I look forward to getting it in front of more faces soon. I also got to attend the screening with one of my favorite actresses of all-time @domenicapivko who has been crushing the roll of Mom for decades.
