Dim Rooms

This post is a week late in coming: Last Friday, coincidentally on the 30th anniversary of the release of the first Star Wars movie, we finally premiered the long-coming short film "Dim Rooms" that I have been working on as writer and director for over 2 years (ridiculously). The Premiere was held at a small, cozy and very longstanding old style cinema, the "Sun". One of the film's actors, Don Bridges was kind enough to sit for a Q & A at the end of the screening and talk about his long and very interesting career as an actor working alongside the likes of Hugo Weaving, Russel Crowe and Guy Pierce among others. Even more awesome was the fact that, despite growing up right next to and becoming enamored with the cinema at the "Sun" Don had never seen himself in a movie there until now. It was a really exciting night for me and I hope to announce the film's screening in some festivals very soon.
