Tinseltown

I'm flying to Los Angeles this afternoon to attend the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival. The festival opens tonight with a program of Disney short animation films. My film, Flickering Blue, screens on Thursday night in a program entitled, 'Things to do Before You Die.' All screenings take place at ArcLight Cinemas on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, California.

The festival bills itself as the largest short film festival in the world, (five hundred short films in seven days) and is one of the handful of festivals that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the Oscars) watches closely. The last five short film Oscars went to films that screened at this festival.

I'm most looking forward to the Flickering Blue reunion which will feature director Harper Philbin, DOP Jack Anderson, 1st AD Patrick Priest, our star Jimmy Karen and the film's humble author, (me).
