TOMORROW! REAL DOLL DOCTOR Screening in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!

The time has come.

My documentary short REAL DOLL DOCTOR will be screening tomorrow night in Williamsburg, Brooklyn as part of the 2007 ROOFTOP Film Festival's program, "The Way We Get By." (Nice title, btw.)

Alas, I am on the opposite coast and won't be able to attend. But, for those who are in NYC, what better way to spend a Friday night then by watching a handicap tattoo artist refurbish broken sex dolls? Oh, and there's a free open bar too.

REAL DOLL DOCTOR Screening Date Announced for Rooftop Film Festival


Regulars to this blog know that my 2002 short documentary REAL DOLL DOCTOR has been scheduled to screen at the NYC Rooftop Film Festival. (See previous posts here and here.)

Well, I just got an email from Dan, the head of the festival, and he told me the following info about my screening:

"...[REAL DOLL DOCTOR will be] screening on Friday, July 20th, as part of our shorts program called “The Way We Get By.” The screening will be on the lovely lawn at Automotive High School at 50 Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, directly across from McCarren Park.

The music will start at 8:30 and the movies at 9:00 and there will be a party afterwards at Bar Matchless, just a couple of blocks away, with an open bar for two hours for everyone who comes to the screening.
"

An OPEN BAR!!?? Did you all see that? Well, if my film isn't enough impetus to get out to this screening, then the prospect of free booze should be enough. (Provided, of course, that the bar is a 'booze bar' and not a 'juice bar'.)

Alas, I won't be able to attend since I don't live in NYC any more and they don't fly little speck-sized filmmakers (that refers to our reputation, not our physical size, you know) out to festivals like this. <*sniff*>

Drink one for me, if you go...

A Real Doll Doctor mini-review and IFC.com to host Real Doll Doctor??


Davecat, the blogger-man behind the blog 'Shouting to Hear the Echoes,' has the honor of being the first person who posted a comment on my blog. (Thanks Davecat!)

He commented on my post about my short doc REAL DOLL DOCTOR being resurrected from the video graveyard like a split-dog in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and screening all summer (starting in July, from what I understand) through September as part of the NYC Rooftop Film Fest. (That just kicked-off last Friday night.)

Pretty kind words all told! Read what he has to say here.

He also mentions (scoops me, that is) that IFC.com will be hosting REAL DOLL DOCTOR on their site, starting soon. It's true but I don't know much about it yet. Last week I was contacted by Rooftop Film Fest, through whom this is all happening, and apparently my flick was one of the one's selected (or was that recommended?) for the IFC.com line-up. Naturally, more info on that when I've got it. In the meantime you can enjoy other struggling short filmmaker's works at the IFC Rooftop site. I haven't watched any of the flicks yet, but I see that my old acquaintance Ryan Junell has a flick up their now. He's a talented dude from San Francisco.

Thanks again Davecat for your interest!
