THIS WEEKEND: "Grey Street" in the Garden State Film Festival... Sort of...

The great news: My music video to the Dave Matthew's song "Grey Street" got into the Garden State Film Festival!

The not so great news: It didn't get music clearance and so it can't actually be screened. It was not a project I had intended to screen publicly. I submitted it to GSFF because I know the director of the festival. She asked me to send it in and she liked it and though it would be a good addition to the festival, so... I went to work on securing the rights for that screening. The production company said no because it was too much hassle for what they'd make for one screening. They'd actually lose money paper shuffling.

If you're in the NJ area this weekend, you should still attend the festival. It's really fun and I met a lot of people last time I went that I still keep in contact with.

There is also going to be (not-too-expensive) celebrity benefit on Thursday, April 3rd, which I would have really enjoyed if I were able to attend:



"On Thursday, April 3rd , Montel Williams and Starline Films will be hosting a Special Red Carpet Premiere of 4CHOSEN: The Documentary (produced and directed by Jon Doscher) at the Paramount Theater. 6:30 pm Red Carpet Arrivals, special singing performance by DANNY AIELLO begins at 7:30pm, 4CHOSEN premiere begins at 8:00, reception to follow with musical performance by BRIAN KIRK and the JIRKS"

I went to the closing gala when Real vs. Reel got into the festival and had an amazing time and met great people. This should be a good party.
