Film Festival - and From Here it's AWESOME

I am going to Be reminding everyone about this on Wednesdays for the Forseeable Future :



The From Here to Awesome film festival starts this Thursday at the Showroom. Hope you can make it to the first screening featuring "AI". Admission is free and the film starts at 7:30. See below for a description of this weeks films and click here for the full line-up.

HUB-BUB presents the "From Here to Awesome" Showcase Film Festival every Thursday night at 7:30 p.m., starting August 7 and ending October 2. Each week another short and feature length film will be screened and the public is invited to attend these FREE showings. Independent films competed to be one of the select films shown at theaters and other venues like The Showroom worldwide. For updates and more insight check out this blog. "From Here to Awesome" is the brainchild of Arin Crumley, a filmmaker who did a three-week residency at HUB-BUB in May 2008. *17 and over admitted.


THIS WEEK:


FEATURE Abel Raises Cain: An unprecedented glimpse into the life and bizarre career of Alan Abel, the notorious media prankster who has made a name for himself several times over with stunts that are just ridiculous enough to be believable, especially to a media that feeds on salacious stories. In this loving portrait of an eccentric father, Alan’s daughter, Jenny, takes the audience on a roller coaster ride through the myriad of elaborate hoaxes and schemes that Abel pulled off over the years, all of which were designed to provoke, amuse and make people question everything that they see, hear and read.


SHORT Ai: A young woman, haunted by the memories of her parents being murdered, discovers the truth about herself and her sensei. Inspired by the great tradition of Japanese cinema, Ai is an exploration of themes that stem from the era of the fearless warriors, the samurai.
