Horror Fest Screening Nyc

[Mark Harris]

Hey all,

I am going to be screening the top 10 horror fest films at an indie movie theater in NYC at the end of Oct.

Watch a trailer: HERE (http://www.desperatecomfort.com/working/horrorfest_trailer.mov)


http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/2939/1161006535.jpg

I chose a bunch of our money-shots for the poster, in the hopes of really grabbing people. This poster will go up at the theater and around the E. Village, so we want it to shout out and really nail people.

Thanks to Jack for kicking out a really bad-assed poster design.


OCT 29TH 9PM
TWO BOOTS PIONEER THEATER
Ave A and E 3rd St.
Details: http://www.twoboots.com/pioneer/


The program is called:

DON'T GO BACK IN THE HOUSE, BITCH!- A collection of 6 minute horror shorts from the DVXUSER.com horror fest 2006.

I am taking the top ten because I only have about enough time for ten. I was originally going to choose shorts I liked, but it didn't really seem fair. So I went with this.

I know most of you are not in NYC and would not be here for it, but even still I thought it would be a nice little treat. I will be promoting it in NYC and trying to get people in to see your work. If you know people in NYC, please send them to the link above for details on the screening.

So the program will contain:


Rekindled
Bloody Mary
Halfway
Meat
The Seeing
Stricken
Dear Jane
Lakeside
Reunion
Welcome


WHAT I NEED FROM YOU

I have contacted some of you through PM, but here are the details for all:

Please send me a MiniDV runoff of your film ASAP. I talked to Edgen about an MPG and he put one up for me, but the rest, please send in MiniDV tapes with the highest quality runoff.

I will PM you all the address to mail to.

Please PM me your real name so that I can send it to the theater to update their website with film and filmmaker names.

Please let me know if you do NOT want to be shown.

[Brandon Rice]

Awesome idea... if ya need a 3 min. short to fill in a gap, hit me up dude :)

[Edgen]

Great idea and I'll send an email to my friends about the event. I hope they'll enjoy the show!

/j

[Lingothree]

This looks like a lot of fun.

Joe and I are toying with the idea of coming to the screening...

Plane tickets are cheap, but does anyone know of a cheap hotel or hostel nearby? Or want to put us up in exchange for liquor?

[cinealma]

Rats! Missed it by a couple of notches.

Although, you really should take "REM", because technically, "Stricken" was a non-comp film. That would make "REM" #10.

(And mine, #11. That even makes me feel worse.) :undecided

LMFAO MARK!!!

I was saying that SAME thing last night watching WOLF CREEK.

"Don't go back in there, bitch! SHOOT HIM!"

[Mark Harris]

The title was Jack's idea, and it stuck. Hopefully turn some peoples' heads.

[Mark Harris]

This looks like a lot of fun.

Let me give this a little thought. We usually start promoting these things WAY before now, but not knowing what the program would be...So I hope we can get a crowd big enough to make it worth your while.

However, the after-party should be very very good times.

[Edgen]

I've got a few friends in NYC that are going to make it out. Plus, our producer of Lakeside has a group of friends that will most likely make it out as well. So.. maybe 5-6 on my end?

good luck!
/j

[Mark Harris]

Sweet. I am working a connection I have to a studio here, hoping to get at least a couple of low level execs to come. No promises with those people, but I'll be working it.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

This looks like a lot of fun.

Joe and I are toying with the idea of coming to the screening...

Plane tickets are cheap, but does anyone know of a cheap hotel or hostel nearby? Or want to put us up in exchange for liquor? You are welcom to our futon ... if you are Ok with a beagle, a fat mean cat and / or a skinny mean cat as potential snuggle buddies. They usually all sleep with us, but you never know. Futon is available to whomever calls dibs first.

Great idea Mark, thanks for putting it together:beer:

[Mark Harris]

Yeah, and one or both of you could certainly crash at my place. It's big, but there is the same situation with dog+cat=INSANITY!!!! But you could crash out here as well. It's a big place with a futon all your own.

[Alex DePew]

This looks like a lot of fun.

Joe and I are toying with the idea of coming to the screening...

I can put you guys up. My apartment is animal free. And since I owe you guys for helping with the sound design, dinner and the first round is on me.

[Matt Sconce]

Sweet. I am working a connection I have to a studio here, hoping to get at least a couple of low level execs to come. No promises with those people, but I'll be working it.

Awesome!!!! Maybe they will say..."Who is is that guy who did "Stricken"??" The you can say...."The Uber talented Matt Sconce....Here is his contact info..."


:cheesy: hehehe

[Mark Harris]

More than likely they will say: "What dumb-assed screening you want us to go to? Take a hike and stop bugging us!" :):)

[Matt Sconce]

hehehe....:crybaby:

[Lingothree]

Jack, Mark, Alex - We may just take you up on the offer of a place to crash. We're thinking of coming in on either Saturday or early Sunday, and staying for a couple few nights. Joe's never been, so it would be fun to do some sightseeing. You know, waving to Al Roker outside the Today Show. Or not...

So who wants us the most? And what kind of liquor do you like?

Animals or no animals, we're happy either way.

[MsManhattan]

For anyone who was thinking of traveling to NYC for the screening, there are two inexpensive hostels on the upper Upper West Side, near Columbia University. They are Euro-style, offering a few rooms with private baths but most with a shared bath, and are not bad overall, especially for the price (usually under $100/night with a shared bath). I've had friends stay in them, and no complaints, and they seem to draw a lot of hip young European travelers who hang out on the stoop in the evenings (a great NYC tradition).

Congrats to the Top 10!

Excellent job of curating, Mark!

[Mark Harris]

Jack did a poster from some images I chose. Added to the first post and going to printer now, to put up at theater and around town. Getting 10 posters printed at first.

[Edgen]

Wew hew! Love the new poster for the screening!



/j

[TimurCivan]

the poster is amazing!!!

[TheatreGuy]

Wow! That is so cool! The screening and the poster!!!

Damn... damn.... damn.... 13th place.... DAMN!!!!

[Mark Harris]

Drive on down, sucka!!!

[TheatreGuy]

Can I bring my film and show it on my laptop to the crowds waiting to get in??? :grin:

[Mark Harris]

You can do anything you want on the sidewalks of NYC. I'll just say you're a crazy, homeless guy and I don't know you. :)

[TheatreGuy]

HA HA HA! A crazy, homeless guy with a 15" mac G4 laptop! I wonder how long that would stay in my hands! (sorry, no offense! :) )

[TheatreGuy]

Seriously, I may come down for this. Sounds like a blast!

[conrad_johnson]

Let me give this a little thought. We usually start promoting these things WAY before now, but not knowing what the program would be...So I hope we can get a crowd big enough to make it worth your while.

However, the after-party should be very very good times.
The after party is the reason to go... I've seen Dear Jane too many times to fly to NY and see it. Now, flying to NYC and partying till my heart stops....thats a reason to go.:Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

[TheatreGuy]

I don't part--- *hic* I don't part--- *belch* I don't part--- *umph!*

All hell, who am I kidding.

Party on!

[capitalP]

Great Poster Guys, I'm There.

[TimurCivan]

TED COMES to the party......

[TheatreGuy]

hmmm... that sounds like a past tense statement! Did I go and miss it? :grin:

[conrad_johnson]

I think that if Theatre Guy showed up, I might pee in my pants a little.

[Mark Harris]

I take it back. You may not stay with me. lingothree, sure, unless she threatens to pee her pants too. Then you're both on your own.

[conrad_johnson]

How about if I pee in your pants. What then smart guy!

[TheatreGuy]

Oh, geez.... now I don't know WHAT to do? Go and see Conrad pee in his pants or stay home and cry in my beer?

[JimtheJib]

i'd be down to come! btw congratulations mark and timur!!

[HybridCreations]

Wow, awesome idea guys. Congrats to Jack, Mark, Timur and everyone else in the Top 10. I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to this so have fun everybody.
Side Note: Anyone who's thinking of traveling to NYC should try to stay thru Tuesday. There's a parade in the village that's quite an experience. Not sure if it's on the weekend or the day of Halloween, but it'd be worth seeing.

[TheatreGuy]

I would love to stay, but I would be a hit and run! I've got a gig on Monday. Damn again!

[Mark Harris]

Also, if you come the Sat before the screening, we have the annual Scaraoke. Lots of drunken singing in costume!

[TheatreGuy]

Damn, damn, damn!!! I've got the same gig on Saturday that I have on Monday!!!

Damn Symmphony and their first ever Halloween concert!!!

DAMN!

Anymore bad news?

[Rock Punk!]

How are you doing this? Technically, I mean. What are the requirements for the theater? The reason I ask is, there are a couple of bars here in DC and Baltimore that show films that may be up for showing this. I have contacts through my punk band. Let me know.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Mark knows more but this is actually at movie theatre.
If the Angelica is the hallmark independent movie theatre in Manhattan
THen the Pioneer Theatre is the hallmark underground movie theatre in Manhattan.
http://www.twoboots.com/pioneer
Shows lots of indie stuff and stuff without distrobution.
But long story short - screen, projector, sound systm, etc. all in place.
What you would need is Jarred's permission and then all the physical requirments would be up to you.

[Mark Harris]

Basically they asked me to screen my comedy series there in August. And I had screened shorts there in the past. So I've been developing a relationship with them, and when the HorrorFest came up, they had a spot for about 10 of them and were happy to give me that spot to program. That's about it.

With the ongoing corporatization of every square inch of NYC, in a time when CB's is moving to Vegas, and Coney Island is about to be paved over for a cineplex and a Gap, The Pioneer truely is a great venue, as they do show stuff you will never see anywhere else, not even in NYC.

Anthology Film Archives is another. They are actually owned by Angelika, and I've screened there before too. But they also screen stuff you won't find anywhere else.

[Rock Punk!]

JDS Thanks for the link. I guess I can find out how these bars are showing the films. Probably likely they are just running them from DVD not like the Pioneer.


... when CB's is moving to Vegas ...

I know sad, I played there three times - people viewed that place as a hole but it was a dream come true for me.

[Mark Harris]

I even have a joke about "the throne" in one of my comedy shorts.

It's not even so much depressing as just the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. I mean, WTF???

Oh well. And yeah, I ran it by Jarred and he thought it was a fun idea for the filmmakers to get some screentime. So I proceeded to brand it as a DVXUser event pretty much.

[spidey]

remind me Desperate we are sending stuff to slamdance as well so i got 134 shorts mailing everywhere.

[TimurCivan]

hmmm... that sounds like a past tense statement! Did I go and miss it? :grin:


no its inthe stream of grammar like "It puts the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again".

[TimurCivan]

i'd be down to come! btw congratulations mark and timur!!


FUCK YEA!!!!!! you beter be there!

[Matt Sconce]

sent my mini DV two day air yesterday mark.

[TimurCivan]

CBGB's... in vegas. TSk TSk TSk..... im moving to Idaho. At least theres not peple form idaho left there.

[Noah]

I'll definitly be there- can't wait to see these films on a bigger screen and meet the filmmakers.

[Lingothree]

Joe and Nikki are officially coming. And there's nothing I can do to prevent Joe from peeing when he meets Ted. Sorry.

Mark - Joe dropped the DV tape in the mail today. Let us know if you don't get it, or if there's otherwise any problem.

It's going to be a tremendous mindf:)ck to meet you all in the flesh. It kind of scares me...

[TimurCivan]

well we are evil....

[TheatreGuy]

Well, if Joe is really going to pee his pants when he sees me, how can I not show up???

Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!

Must...... decide...... if...... 5...... hour...... drive......... is...... worth....... it...........

I will do what I can to be there! For sure! Just to meet you evil ones! :evil:

[Alex DePew]

Yes. We are all very much evil. Especially Hairy Stuff and Scary Stuff. But not so much so with Fairy Stuff.

[Mark Harris]

Updated the first post with a trailer I want to send out tomorrow in sort of an e-press release. I want to hit my large mail list, of course, but also some industry to come see everyone's work. Please check out the trailer and make suggestions. I don't know much about making trailers, and mainly copied this from another horror trailer I saw.

My hope is that those who might be on the fence from the poster, would see the trailer and say: "oh yeah, I'll check this out!"

M

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

haha! trailer's kick ass dude!

[Alex DePew]

I agree the trailer is sweet. But I was hoping to hear you do some kind of voice over.

[Mark Harris]

I may add that in the morning. Something like:

"In a world gone mad...one man stands alone...with his HVX...Bastid" :)

[Mark Johnson]

That trailer friggin' ROCKS!!!! Damn!

[Alex DePew]

I may add that in the morning. Something like:

"In a world gone mad...one man stands alone...with his HVX...Bastid" :)

That's what I'm talkin about!

[Brandon Rice]

Wow, that trailer was tight!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

I may add that in the morning. Something like:

"In a world gone mad...one man stands alone...with his HVX...Bastid" :)

but if you do that you have to throw this in as one of the fade in/out of black images with the heart beat.

http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/2939/1160901201.jpg

[TimurCivan]

you just love that picture.... :)

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

yah. I'm "gay" like that.

[Ted Arabian]

[conrad_johnson]

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Not if I have anything to say about it.

[conrad_johnson]

Chris

[Ted Arabian]

[conrad_johnson]

Uhhhhhhh..........hhhhhh..........I'm not sure what to think about this.:huh:

[TimurCivan]

[Matt Sconce]

I wish I could be there ... :( I will be out here in Cali wondering..."Did they like Stricken?...Did it look good???.......Ah well, I will go play with my HVX..." Hehe Seriously, Let me know how this goes as I am sooooo excited to be a part of it!

[TimurCivan]

[Matt Sconce]

were gonna throw the projector out of focus on Stricken, so our movies dont look so bad next to it......
hehehe...thanks for that... :) It should rock the house as its image quality is top notch. Long hours of noise removal made that happen...:thumbup:

[Ted Arabian]

Uhhhhhhh..........hhhhhh..........I'm not sure what to think about this.:huh:
Sorry... that may have came out wrong! :)


arrrgh you bastard.....

now i have to mail that drawing........ jesus... i hate the post office....

;)
Again sorry... I wish that I could be there. But things are brewing and I have major news. I just can't share the details at the time... but soon. :)

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Sorry... that may have came out wrong! :)

How could that have come out wrong?
unless you or Joe Needs a urologist.

[Ted Arabian]

I don't know.... I thought it was pretty funny when I first stated it!

But just in case...

http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/20191/1161866572.gif

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Oh ... you were joking.

[Ted Arabian]

I guess my pants will remain dry.

Sorry about that... I get you wet next time! :grin:
This is what I was trying to be funny with... not necessarily the later post of mine.

huh :huh:

[Kyle Stebbins]

I have major news. I just can't share the details at the time... but soon.

SOMEONES having kids... :)

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Haha, Ted, I'm just messin' with you. I was joking too. I mean you do know what a urologist is, yes?

[Ted Arabian]

Yes... that's why I included the Serenity pic!

[Ted Arabian]

SOMEONES having kids... :)
Yeah, Kyle... you figured it out! Damn you're good. NOT!

WTF??? Kids? I am still a kid myself!!! Not in our plans to have kids.

Kyle, I wish I could stay on and chat with you but I am off to the freakin' symphony! Thanks for piping in! :)

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Yes... that's why I included the Serenity pic!
http://au.i1.yimg.com/movies.aunz.yimg.com/2005/photos/main/45861.jpg
I don't get it. What does a urologist have to do with this Serenity pic you posted?

[Ted Arabian]

Serenity adult diapers... urologist... makes sense to me!

[Mark Harris]

man, Ted looks an aweful lot like Joss Whedon in that pic...Is that your big news Ted?

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Serenity adult diapers and my urologist makes life liveable for me! Oh ok. I think it shows courage that you can be so open about it. And I'm even more impressed now that you rode a horse for your wedding.

[Mark Harris]

Should we do any sort of announcements between movies, or just roll them?

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

I'd ask the projector guy how long it'll take him between each film.

If it's 30 seconds or more then I'd say do a shout out for the filmmakers in attendence or whatever announcement you have.

If it's less than that then just roll em.

But I would try not to take up more time than he needs unless you wanna do one big announcement in the middle or something.

Are you doing prizes or something or just thinking shoutouts for the filmmakers?

[Mark Harris]

it will take him much less than 30 seconds to change films. I dunno. I agree, I think in this case I would rather let them just roll. Just wondering what people think...

[Brandon Rice]

Should we do any sort of announcements between movies, or just roll them?

Here's what I'd do. If the filmmaker is in attendance, allow them to do a quick Q&A after the film (like they do in many film festivals) I'd enjoy that a lot myself (if I were there) Just a thought.

[Mark Harris]

Yeah, that's cool. We may get kicked out of the theater though. But I plan on having a camera, so maybe a Q&A at the bar after?

[Brandon Rice]

there ya go. that'd work too. You only have the theatre for a brief time?

[Mark Harris]

Well there are usually other programs playing all around the ones I do. So there might be something scheduled to show next.

[Brandon Rice]

ah ok, gotcha. Maybe call and see if there are other things scheduled... if not, do the Q&A there :)

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

If there's anytime left, Q&A in the theatre, if not, then bar.

[Brandon Rice]

word. good idea. Is someome taping this thing? I hope so!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

maybe someone has an HVX we can use.

[Mark Harris]

Yeah, but the real question is does someone have some P2 cards? :)

[Mark Harris]

You wanna warm that thing up and put some miles on it? Jarred loved the idea when I told him I wanted to get a camera there to film people chatting, Q&A, whatever. I just want some stuff to show it as a rockin' event, as promo material. But it would be cool stuff to put on the site too.

but you want to bring that bad-boy out for that?

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Well it would be kind of silly to put hours on that vs. a DVX.
Lemme see if I can get this ipod thing working.

Mostly I would rather enjoy myself and the eveneing then have to worry about taping.
But I would buy a ticket for anyone that wanted to tape and I would assist with the gear if not lend the gear.

...then again it would be fitting to put its first hour on it at the screening.

[Brandon Rice]

It's not like the heads of the HVX will wear out... if you're using P2.

[Mark Harris]

no worries, I'll have my broke-assed DVX there anyway

[Brandon Rice]

wordage... if I was there, I'd tape for ya'll.... it's kinda far away though... unless I could bend time and space and warp there ;)

[Matt Sconce]

wordage... if I was there, I'd tape for ya'll.... it's kinda far away though... unless I could bend time and space and warp there ;)

You would then officially become a superhero...All Hail the Briceman!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

wordage... if I was there, I'd tape for ya'll.... it's kinda far away though... unless I could bend time and space and warp there ;) See if there's a hole in your backyard near a swingset below a shrine ... oh yeah I've been meaning to tell you that your little brother showed up at the Pioneer theatre about a month ago.

Megan and I have been making him sell chiclets on the street. Don't worry you'll get your cut.

[Ted Arabian]

Oh ok. I think it shows courage that you can be so open about it. And I'm even more impressed now that you rode a horse for your wedding.
HA HA! I like how you "distorted" the facts here!

I actually do have to go see a urologist... I need some advice about a eulogy for a dear friends funeral!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

You mean a eugoogolizer?

Mark won't get that, he hates Ben Stiller. HATES him.

[Ted Arabian]

I have to admit my love for Zoolander! What a hysterical movie. (God... here it comes! All my credibility is out the window!)

[Brandon Rice]

See if there's a hole in your backyard near a swingset below a shrine ... oh yeah I've been meaning to tell you that your little brother showed up at the Pioneer theatre about a month ago.

Megan and I have been making him sell chiclets on the street. Don't worry you'll get your cut.

ROFL! So THAT is where that little punk went! Hope he hasn't been too big a headache for ya.

[Ted Arabian]

maybe someone has an HVX we can use.
LOL! Just catching up through the thread. Funny.

>>>

If you do a Q&A, I may have to show up and ask WHY CAN'T MY FILM BE SHOWN!!! :crybaby: :)

[Mark Harris]

"You mean we don't win anything?"

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

"You mean we don't win anything?"
no you got jacked! :evil:

[Brandon Rice]

LOL! ROFL! What a good day today!

[spidey]

http://www.morganlowndes.com/movies/tokyo.mov
(the second half of it is CLASSIC)

also, i would love to come to the showing. i'm in nebraska, though, so that's a good distance away. any advice?

[Brandon Rice]

so that's a good distance away. any advice?

Warp!

[Kyle Stebbins]

of course, silly me. ;)

[Mark Harris]

my movie is sent you should have got it today

got it. Thanks and good luck with fest submissions.

[Ted Arabian]

Hey Y'all! Have fun at the Pioneer tonight. Wish I could be there. Would love to meet some of you guys in person.

Hopefully another time!

Ted

[Edgen]

yes! Definitely good luck! Hopefully some of my friends will be able to make it out!

/j

[Ted Arabian]

Hey! How about a review of the big night!!! Looking forward to hearing the scoop!

Ted

[Mark Harris]

Hey all,

The HORROR FEST screening can be called a resounding success. We had a good crowd, as you can see from the pic below.

However, we did not take any video, as everyone involved kind of just wanted to relax and have a good time. Maybe for the next fest, we'll start planning earlier, get some more DVXers there, etc. What I would love to do next time is plan a webcast in enough time to pull it off, so that people can tune into the screening Q&A, etc. on the site.

I MC'd, asked some trivia questions about the films and handed out some DVXUser T-shirts and swag, courtesy of Jarred. When it came Q&A time, I took a vote from the audience, and it was pretty clear no one wanted to sit through Q&A. I know I never do. So I didn't make anyone and we by-passed the Q&A. I told people they could come to the bar and talk to us.

That being said, the films all looked really great on the screen, and the audience really had a great, great time. People were telling me on the way out how much they liked the movies.

DVXUsers in attendence:
Me
Jack
JimTheJib - and his mom
TimurCivan - and his mom
Aram
Texture
Lingothree and conrad_johnson, who flew in from Minn.
And someone said KORAVARA was going to be there, as he was in NYC this weekend, but either he could not make it, or did not reveal himself.

Did I miss anyone?

http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/2939/1162225952.jpg

I have some more pics of the crowd, but like I said, when it came to it, we mainly wanted to sit back, have a good time and enjoy the films.

As I said above, they all looked good on screen, which is a testament to the cameras and everyone's skills.

[Ted Arabian]

Who's that guy in the front row center? Looks like he is important or something! :grin:

Glad it was successful!

Thanks for sharing!

[Edgen]

I wonder if my friends showed up? Anyone meet a crazy girl named Liz? ;)

Was it a packed screening?

/j

[Mark Harris]

I did not see any crazy girl named Liz. I think we were pretty packed. The first two rows were empty, and as you can see from the pick there were some scattered empty seats about. But a very good crowd, I thought.

[TimurCivan]

yea it was good turn out! not quite packed but for minimal advertising, i think it was good!

[deedive]

kool screening, thanx mark for making things happen. It was very different looking at the film on a big screen.

[zenbarai]

David, Keith and I are all really thrilled to have had Meat included in the screening. Thanks Mark!!!

Ben

[Matt Sconce]

YAY! I am glad it went well! How did my noise reduction hold up on the big screen. Did it still have that nifty glow?

[drpaluga]

[drpaluga]

no i dont know you.

[TimurCivan]

YAY! I am glad it went well! How did my noise reduction hold up on the big screen. Did it still have that nifty glow?


And how!!!!

also your "wife's Name" was a trivia Question!!!!!!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

no i dont know you.
lol, that sounds funny for some reason.

[Mark Harris]

no i dont know you.

Ah that's cool. Thanks for coming out then!

[Matt Sconce]

How cool is that! haha!

[Beat Takeshi]

Your joint also got the most laughs during the super long credits which is why the trivia question came up. :)
I thought the image on most of the shorts didn't hold up too well, either adapter problems or plugins being used too much. Halfway, Dear Jane, and Meat were the only ones that didn't have a really soft image I thought. Msconce, your image looked the same both on the web and the screen. Had a feeling like it was hand painted and I thought it was nice. Dear Jane got the biggest applause from everyone. Over all I thought they all had good production value but watching them made me want to really think twice about using any adapters for anything substantial without a lot of testing on bigger screens.

[Mark Harris]

Haha, great pics, Man!!!!

[deedive]

[Mark Harris]

YES!!! Esp pics where my hair looks good

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

I thought your hair looked a little soft.

[Mark Harris]

That's funny cause I thought my hair made you look a little hard...

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

not "look" hard.

[deedive]

i was 2 seats behind jack, and i could see he was having more fun then everyone. i think thats why no one was sittin in front of him.

http://www.dvxuser6.com/uploaded/16107/1162434604.jpg

with 400 film and all the blurring, you can see mark talking to ghosts at the screening. It was a reall horrorfest.

[Lingothree]

The screening was great fun.

Thanks again for organizing, Mark. And for sharing your bed with us (in an entirely non-sordid way, of course - Mark was on the futon).

[Darkline]

looks like it was wicked! And all i was doing was sitting at home eating biscuits...

[conrad_johnson]

The screening was great fun.

Sure he was...

[TimurCivan]

it was great meeting you guys! i had fun at the bar. ( who doesnt!!!!?) I look forward to making more excuses for you dudes and Dudettes to come to NY!!!

catch ya on the Flip side!

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

i was 2 seats behind jack, and i could see he was having more fun then everyone. :evil:

[conrad_johnson]

That's because Jack is a man of leisure. I saw it for myself. it was sick, he was throwing money around, riding on an elephant covered in gold armor...just sick.

[Mark Harris]

Sure he was...

I'm just glad you are a sound sleeper.

If I had only one word to describe Lingothree, it would be:

F-L-E-X-I-B-L-E

[conrad_johnson]

Very nice.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

yeah, Mark's a classy bastid.
And I use one of those words loosely.

[smelni]

ah darn - I wish i knew about this - i would have been there

[Mark Harris]

Dude, this thread was up for like a month, in addition to a massive rotating banner on the front page. Where you been?

[smelni]

I have been known to be an idiot from time to time.

I must have been in the wrong boards here - didnt think to look in horrorfest and I tend to not notice banners

[spidey]

yeah the rotation banner i rarely look at.

[Mark Harris]

Well, maybe you should then, huh? :p

Spidey, my actress RACHEL (http://www.desperatecomfort.com/working/rach.JPG) who played BLOODY MARY, loved your movie.

[drpaluga]

it looked like alot of the films at the horrorfest had shallow depth of field. does anyone know if any of the movies used 35mm adaptors to get that effect? thanks

[Mark Harris]

A bunch did. BLOODY MARY did. REKINDLED did.

If you look at this thread on BM: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=62077&page=10

I think starting on that page, Timur has info on our use of the SGPro.

[Matt Sconce]

Stricken did

[TimurCivan]

Ummm Joe... i believe the proper term is Pachyderm. Jack had me flogged for calling it an elephant.

[Beat Takeshi]

We used an adapter also.

[spidey]

neat!

[Lingothree]

was nice hanging out with you too, timur. i hope your girlfriend's interview went well.

the pachyderm was a nice touch, but jack, it was really overkill when we found out you had rented us the dancing girls, and they showed up with all the white powder. but i must say the hot air balloon ride at the end of the night was really the icing on the cake. thanks again for sending us home in your personal jet - security at the airport would have been a bitch otherwise!

mark - shhhh...
