Calabasas Dispatch. 1.

When Jerry Lentz proposed covering the Method Fest for us, we said, Sure! Any event that bills itself as a "festival of discovery of breakout acting in independent film" sounds right up our alley.

Method Fest

Left: Ilya Lyudmirksy, DP and producer, and Colin Drobnis, director of Bangkok.
Right: Allen Martinez, director of Intelligence.

When Jerry then proposed filing dispatches on video rather than typing them out, we were, I believe, on the road and figuring that any logistics could be worked out when the dust (and our own selves) settled. Lo, Friday, opening day of the festival, popped up really fast and Jerry has been filming and cutting away and has a first dispatch ready to roll with a second already queued.

So for now, head to Jerry's site, gather a few impressions of the fest before the rain hit, listen to the makers of Bangkok and Intelligence talk about working with their actors and stay tuned through April 7.

Wow, I can't believe the turn around on these!? I'm being interviewed by the World Famous Jerry Lentz, I go home, go to bed, and when I wake up there's last night's footage already up on GreenCine!? Amazing!

Just got back from our World Premiere Screening of "Bangkok". Thanks so much too all of you who turned out for it. Really nice seeing it in a brand new theater with a state of the art digital projector. Wow, what a great evening!

I did happen to spot Jerry at tonight's events. I know if I just stay up a couple more hours, I can be the first to view his latest installment!

Thanks GreenCine!

The trailer looks terrific, Aaron, and I hope Bangkok makes it around the world so I can see it here in Berlin, too.
