Arrow @ Sitges 08!
Sep. 30, 2008
In the words of The Joker: Here, we, go! Tomorrow I leave for the SITGES FILM FESTIVAL in Catalunda, Spain. It's my fav Fest of the lot. This will be my fourth year attending so at this point, its like visiting family... but without the fights and the lousy cooking.
My history with the Fest is a full one. Aside of having covered so many films that played there, Deaden and Recon 2022 (two movies I worked on) both premiered there and I was a member of the Jury in 2006. This year will be no different in terms of me being a busy mofo. I'll of course be seeing/reviewing all kinds of films for the site, will try to get more fun videos going while being there to back up my work that's being shown there. Here's the lowdown:
A still from Martyrs; can't wait to catch this one!
FILMS I REALLY WANNA SEE AT SITGES: EMBRYO, THE FALL, SURVEILLANCE, THE HIDEOUT, EDEN LOG, THE BUTCHER, THE GOOD THE BAD THE WEIRD, VYNIAN, EDEN LAKE, ROCK AND ROLLA, THE BROKEN, MARTYRS, THE BURROWERS, DONKEY PUNCH, LET THE RIGHT ONES IN, THE LONG WEEKEND.
Famke Janssen in 100 FEET .
THE 100 FEET SPANISH PREMIERE: Eric Red's 100 FEET (which stars Famke Janssen and Ed Westwick) will be having its first ever screening in Spain. Writer/Director ERIC RED and myself (I play Jimmy in the film) will be on hand to present the film and support it through its Sitges run. I personally can't wait to see the Sitges crowd react to this bad boy. Should be great! Here are its showtimes: 11/10/2008 01:00 El Retiro - 02/10/2008 23:00 El Retiro. VISIT ITS SITGES PAGE HERE
Actor Deke Richards in The Red Hours.
THE RED HOURS FIRST SHOWING: My short film THE RED HOURS will have its first showing ever (in Official Competition) at Sitges and I'm pretty stoked about it. Actor DEKE RICHARDS and myself will of course be there to support the short. Now this won't be the Final Cut of the film (I still have audio/video work to do on it). With that said, I'm sure that I'll return from SITGES with further ideas as to how to bring it home for its FINAL CUT. Here are its showtimes: 06/10/2008 17:15 Sala Tramuntana - 08/10/2008 18:00 Auditori Melià. VISIT ITS SITGES PAGE HERE
