25 02 2013

Thrilled to announce that the film will be at the Guild Cinema in Albuquerque, New Mexico for three nights, the weekend of March 8-10.  The Guild is my favorite kind of theater, run by and for true film lovers. It’s the only real art house left in Albuquerque, and I’m delighted they’re going to show Deconstructing Dad, and equally delighted that I’m going to be able to attend in person for the Friday and Saturday night screenings — we’ll be doing Q&As after the shows, and following the independent filmmaker’s rules of the road I’ll have DVDs for sale.

The Guild is located at 3405 Central Avenue NE Albuquerque, NM in the heart of the historic Nob Hill district, and the phone number is (505) 255-1848.    

So if you’re located anywhere near Albuquerque, hope to see you there!

Best Documentary, Atlantic City Cinefest!

18 10 2011

Greetings from Atlantic City — OK, not literally as I’m back home, but I was in fact there this past weekend of October 14-16 for the 4th annual Atlantic City Cinefest, presented by the Downbeach Film Festival.  Not your normal type of film festival location, but that made it all the more fun and definitely unique.  The fest is run a by a dedicated group of film lovers headed by William Sokolic and they work very hard to create a festival that feels at once real and fantastical, given the Las Vegas inspired nature of modern Atlantic City (and there’s still a beautiful beach, boardwalk, ocean, and salt water taffy).  But I’m delighted to report that the highlight of the weekend for me was that “Deconstructing Dad” won the Best Documentary award!  A real thrill and thanks to Bill Sokolic, Joelle Sokolic, Ned Eckhardt, and everyone on the festival staff  for the award and a great time in Atlantic City.  And thanks as well to George Stewart  who originally suggested that I submit my film to the festival….

Milton Keynes Screens Film August 12th

3 08 2011

OK, I couldn’t resist a bit of wordplay — this isn’t a tease about a one person screening for someone with a famous early 20th century economist for a relative since, as most UK residents will know, and most Americans will not, Milton Keynes is a town about 50 miles Northwest of London.  The town boasts a thriving municipal art gallery — and here’s their mission statement: “MK Gallery provides free access to high quality, innovative and thought-provoking contemporary art from around the world.  In its programme MK Gallery stimulates participation and debate, building relationships between artists and audiences.”

Caroline Devine, the local sound artist who is currently exhibiting at the gallery came across the film and thought it would be a good idea for the gallery to show it as part of their ongoing festival/series Friday Night Films, and it has come to pass.  Here’s a link to the event — which is scheduled for Friday August 12th, prices are £5 (concessions £3).  This is another one I’d love to attend, Milton Keynes is clearly one of those cool UK places, but it’s just not possible at present.  But for those of you in the London environs (and Oxford, Cambridge, and Stratford), hope you can make it!  Thanks to Caroline and Ursula White of Independent Cinema MK for putting this event together….

And more announcements about the film coming up shortly!
