Screening info for upcoming festivals

The Connecticut Film Festival

"Two Harbors" will screen three times at this festival, as follows:

Wednesday 4 October, 3:00pm at the Center for Senior Activities, Westport CT (FYI: Paul Newman, who lives nearby, has just opened a restaurant in Westport. It's a small town so I assume it would be easy to find. Check it out if you go to this screening.)

Thursday 5 October, 9:30pm at the Garden Cinemas, Norwalk CT

Friday 6 October, 4:00pm, Bethel Cinema, Bethel CT

I might be in attendance at the Thursday evening screening. if I can find a cheap flight. Venue information can be found here: http://ctfilmfest.bside.com/?_view=_venues


FAIF International Film Festival

Only one screening here, but it's at the Mann Chinese Theater in Hollywood, next door to Grauman's Chinese Theater. Which is sort of cool. Thursday 12 October, 4:30pm. Catherine E. Johnson and Alex Cole, stars of the film, will be in attendance for the post-screening Q&A. So be nice to them if you go. And ask good questions. I won't be there.

"The Quietest Sound"

Even though this blog is called "twoharborsblog" to blog, obviously, about our film "Two Harbors," I decided, rather than creating a new blog for the new film, "The Quietest Sound," I would just start adding blogs for TQS here. Makes sense? Maybe I'm just lazy. But I figured if someone is interested in the first film, they might be interested in the second film.

Anyway, "The Quietest Sound" has been having a harder time of it on the festival circuit than "Two Harbors" for some reason. Phil Geller, executive producer of both films, thinks it's simply because, due to subject matter and technique, "The Quietest Sound" is harder to watch. He may be right. In any event, the only festival screening so far was at the 2006 Fargo Film Festival, where Catherine E. Johnson (who also played Cassie in "Two Harbors") won Best Actress. So someone appreciates the film. On some level.

Speaking of Catherine, she and I will be at a screening of the film Wednesday, September 27th, in Northfield, Minnesota. The screening is co-sponsored by Carleton College (of which Catherine is an alumna) and ArtOrg, a community-based arts organization in Northfield. Details of the screening, for those of you in the vicinity of southeastern Minnesota, are: Boliou Hall 104 at 7:00pm, with a Q&A to follow. (Boliou Hall is the art building on campus, if that helps.) I hope someone shows up. Catherine and I went down for a screening there last spring of "Two Harbors" which was somewhat under-attended. But it turns out it was finals week. That should not be the case this time.
