My Open Letter to The Annapolis Pretentious Film Society — re: NY LATELY screening on Sat (Feb 13th)

Venue: Rams Head Tavern (33 West Street Annapolis, Maryland 21401)

The cast and I are thrilled to be invited by Peri and Lisa Lewnes — founders of the Annapolis Pretentious Film Society – to share our film New York Lately on Saturday (Feb 13th). We could not be happier to have it screen at the Rams Head On Stage which is an exciting new way to experience and enjoy films. As this emerging cinema series grows in popularity, we believe it will be a showcase on how the independent film scene is evolving and the new ways filmmakers can connect with their audiences.

New York Lately has been hailed by The Independent Critic as “a remarkable achievement” and Row Three as “a beautiful film” making its Top Ten Films of 2009 List. It was also listed on Associated Content’s “Best Independent Movies” List — right behind SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.

I find it fitting that we will screen over Valentine’s weekend as the film explores themes of friendship, relationship heartaches, determination and new found love. It’s not your typical movie and will hopefully surprise you in some ways. Although I love all types of films, there is a special place in my heart for those whose genre is not clearly defined. To me it’s so refreshing to watch a film that reflects real-life; where there can be happiness, sadness and comedy occurring all at the same time. Some of my favorite masters of film are able to do this with great care.

It has been a long road in completing the film and slowly building audiences and fans for it across the country. I am honored and give special thanks to Peri and Lisa for embracing New York Lately and allowing us this opportunity to share it with their film community — with you. Independent films truly begin with your support.

We look forward to being there and meeting everyone soon.
