Next Open Screen November 10th

That's right, the next Open Screen is on the horizon. Can you see it? Just to the left of that ship... yeah, the schooner. I know it seems far away, but that's just an optical illusion. It's close, so very very close. Breath deep, can you smell it? The faint sent of popcorn in the air. Its siren sent drifting into your nasal cavities, drifting past your frontal and sphenoid sinus where it finally mingles with your olfactory bulb. I know, my friend, a beer would wash that down oh so well. It's only a little longer. You can make it. I know you can. I've been watching and your only growing stronger and more resilient with each passing day. But I don't have a movie you say, well, there is still time, however fleeting. But really, I don't have any ideas for a movie you plead, eyes wet. It's okay, here take this tissue. Dry your eyes. Have a seat. I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time. We have a theme. That's right, you don't need an idea. We have one for you already. We knew this day would come. You see? We've been waiting for you to come to us. We've been patient - how could we not be? The theme you ask? Of course, please relax. There's no need to have that gun pointed at me. We're friends here and this hostility is out of place. The theme for November is The next red hot trend in cinema. The rest, is up to you...
You see, that wasn't so bad. Yes, of course I forgive you.

Videos are Finally Up!

Figured out the old ftp problem (solution: yahoo=jerks). So enjoy our September winners - Nick Palm with "I.F.D'.s" and Myles David Jewell with "Pursuit of Self".

Internet Problems

Ever have one of those days? You know the days when you're just trying to get the job done and then, next thing you know, total catastrophe. I'm talking total, systemic, failure. Well, that's what's been happening to my ftp server today. There is a new video. I can't upload it though. Hopefully tomorrow. In the mean time, try to imagine "Invisible Flying Dragons" in all it's technicolor glory.

First Somerville Open Screen=Awesome

Thanks to everyone who made it out the the Somerville Theatre last Tuesday. Out theme for October (in honor of Jeff's, new addition to his family - Leo Coolidge Stern), is Astrology. Yes there was some Open Screen logic to get there. Also, it looks like we might have a tie for the audience award...

Stay tuned.

First Somerville Open Screen is around the corner!

September 8th is approaching fast. Remember the theme for our new launch is "The Dawning of a New Era". You can also make films about previous eras, epochs or millennia. However awesomeness may be bestowed upon you if you do make a film on theme, or not. And remember... beer!

Husbands on DVD!

For all you Cassavetes fans....

Film Reviews

So, I've been toying with the idea of writing film reviews here. I'm not sure if anyone is interested in what I think about current (or past for that matter) films - so, if anyone is interested in some reviews here, let me know. I may also try and find some other voices to add to the mix.
