Good press from Philly websites due to our screening at Drexel:
[ UWishUNu ]
In it, we meet Harris Malden, a regular guy on the eve of his twenty-fifth birthday — well, regular except that he wears a fake mustache that makes Groucho Marx’s pre-Love Happy grease-paint whiskers look convincing. - JOEL FRANKE, UWishUNu
[ Phillyist: Can't Miss This! ]
Chris Sannino wrote an article about “Happy Birthday Harris Malden” in Drexel University’s newspaper, The Triangle. Here’s a bit…
While living together in New Jersey, Gregorio and Levy decided to borrow a camera from their job editing wedding videos. Having written some material already, the two punched out their first short film in a single night.
The film was great guys. There were plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and quotable lines. I also liked how the more dramatic main story about Harris was balanced with the hilarious side story about Melvin. This felt to me like a Michel Gondry film, who is one of my favorite directors. I hope this and your future films get picked up for wide releases and I wish you guys luck in the future.

That link at the top of the page has been sitting empty for a while. I finally fixed it. Now you can get yourself a DVD and T-Shirt. And the best part?
They’re both on sale!

I have a big smile on my face right now. It’s just fantastic hearing our movie talked about that way. Fresh Air with Terry Gross, here we come. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

This bearded gentlemen took the time to do a video blog about our little motion picture. I feel especially warm and fuzzy about this, because he looks a little bit like College Eric.
He also reviews Kevin Smith’s “Zak and Miri Make a Porno.” I am a fan of Kevin Smith’s oratory as well, and I listen to SModcast whenever it comes out. You can watch Kevin’s acceptance speech for the Maverick Award at the Woodstock Film Festival on the YouTube Machine.
Thank you to everyone who came to the screenings at the Woodstock Film Festival. I’m planning on writing more about the screenings, but until then you were great audiences, and we enjoyed playing the film for you.
