But I’m a Shoe Live Read at DITHFF!

Hello all!

Headed back to Waco next week, and it’s a true treat since Deep in the Heart is one of the most fun film festivals I’ve been to with The Book of Ruth!

Tickets are now on sale for the live read event which will include my comedy short script – But I’m a Shoe, as well as four more scripts, all to be read by local actors.

Get your tickets for Saturday, 7/20 here.

Come for the art, stay for the fun!

On a personal note I’d also say that Juliet Landau and Deverill Weekes, who are lovely humans and whom I met at the Poppy Jasper Film Festival, will also be in attendance to screen their film A Place Among the Dead, as well as a career talk with Juliet.

So the Texan based Buffy fans among you should really come!

Happy Friday all!

But I’m a Shoe

Hello friends,

It’s been a minute.

Partially because a lot of the work is being done behind the scenes.

But The Book of Ruth won Best Short Dramedy at the wonderful Sedona International Film Festival, and we have a few more festivals before we conclude a terrific, award winning festival run for which I’m incredibly grateful.

But I’m also hard at work on two new projects that I’m very excited about, one of the two is But I’m a Shoe, a short script for a would-be animated short.

Very very happy to say that the script got accepted into the screenplay competition at one of my favorite film festivals – Deep in the Heart, in Waco, TX, where The Book of Ruth won Best Family Short last year.

I’m thrilled to head back to DITHFF to share this script with an audience for the first time, by way of a live reading. Details to follow, but what a great place to “premiere” it! 

Stay tuned!

Best Family Short at DITHFF *** UK Premiere

Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a joyful and safe summer!

I’m thrilled to announce that The Book of Ruth has won the Best Family Short Jury Award at the Deep in the Heart Film Festival. 

I was in Texas for what was a wonderful festival, adopted by a lovely community of filmmakers and people who are passionate about art and creativity, and we were very humbled by the win and by the fact that the film was welcomed with open arms and so much love.

I got to give an acceptance speech for the first time ever, so it was very unplanned. Nonetheless, here it is:

 

If you’re in Texas, you can still watch the film online through 7/31 right here.

The virtual edition of the festival also included a Q&A with multiple filmmakers and I was glad I got to take a part in that. You can watch it here.

***

I’m also thrilled to announce The Book of Ruth will be making its UK premiere in September at the Exit 6 Film Festival.

 

 

The event will be mostly virtual but there will be one physical day and we’ll make sure to have representatives there! 

Excited to finally make it across the pond and can’t wait to share the film with our friends in the UK!

Upcoming IN PERSON screenings!

Hello all!

The world is slowly getting back to normal and film festivals are finally taking place in person again!

JDIFF was such a wonderful experience, but there’s more ahead!

Most importantly, next week The Book of Ruth will be screening IN PERSON at the Queens World Film Festival right here in NY! We never had the chance to have a physical premiere for our friends here in our city, so this is really exciting. If you attend, please come and say hi!

To purchase $10 tix to our block (which includes more short films) click here. 

So far, we’ve been accepted to a total of 29 festivals in the U.S. and abroad. Details for more upcoming screenings, both online and in person, can be found here. Some of these also include Q&As. We hope to see you at one of these events 🙂

Have a lovely Father’s Day!
