The Screening

Our little-film-that-could screened last night at ArcLight Cinemas on Sunset Boulevard. The theaters at the ArcLight are the best I've ever seen; huge screens and comfortable assigned seats with double-wide armrests, (I hate always bumping elbows with the person next to me). However, the projection problems that have plagued the LA Shorts Fest thus far also affected Flickering Blue. Harper spoke to a rep from ArcLight earlier in the week when we noticed that the projection appeared too large for the screen, and, understandably, they passed the buck to the festival organizers who have apparently brought in their own projectors which don't fit the format of the ArcLight theaters. Our crusty director of photography, Jack Anderson, was particularly chagrined. Audience reactions were great regardless, which demonstrates how a good story can resonate and overcome imperfect images.
