Pounding the pavement, the stone pavement

Biking Rules Film Fest News.

Well we weren't the judges top-choice, but it felt great to be presenting a crowd pleasing project. Everyone I brought in to make this project happen is ridiculously talented, and we can all claim our own personal victory.

Here's a nice mention of the work in The BK Paper. Though it's a blurb and the project is a little more meaty than this article sounds, the mentioning of my work as a highlight puts on my proud pants.

Saturday night - "Missed Connections on the L" - Rooftop Film Festivous!

Dir: Bambi Bogart | DP: Kelly Sebastian

WHEN: Saturday, September 12th, 9pm (doors open at 8pm; live music from 8.30pm, if it rains films screen inside)

About the film:

Based on Missed Connections, a section of the personals on popular free classified ads website craigslist, Missed Connections on the L follows seven New Yorkers on their search for love in the city's busy subway system. A world unto its own, the L train connects the island of Manhattan to Brooklyn's neighborhood Williamsburg - home of hipsters, artists and urban eclectics. Set to an original soundtrack of pounding trains and screeching brakes, this gritty and poetic tale of love and loneliness is both universal, and uniquely New York.
