Hollywood, Baby!

Flickering Blue has just been accepted to screen at the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, which is held at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood (on Sunset Boulevard!) during the week of September 7th-13th. The festival bills itself as the largest short film festival in the world, selecting its program from over 1,100 international submissions. It is also one of the few short film festivals recognized by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences, (the Oscars). Since its inception eight years ago, nineteen festival-selected films have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Short Film, five of which went on to take home the Oscar.

From the Festival Director:
"LA Shorts Fest hopes to create an environment that by screening your film will open doors to infinite possibilities."

I'll be there when the house lights go down and the opening credits roll. As, I'm sure, will be our film's star, veteran of stage and screen, James Karen.

It's Hollywood, baby!
