Buffalo Rising and Beth and Jerry MacKay of Littleflick Pictures are teaming up this Friday, April 4, for the Buffalo premier of Release the Funny.
We'll be at the Market Arcade for a 7:30 show, followed by Q & A with Jerry and Beth, founders of Littleflick. You'll get to see the flick (it really is quite funny), as well as meeting BR people, the actors and the MacKays.
It's really quite exceptional that the MacKays, through top-notch production and Jerry's writing and directing skills (they both act in the film), have compiled this collection of witty shorts--in Buffalo--in a homegrown, yet polished way. One of the shorts, Hold the Onions, was recently nominated for Best Children's Film at the Foursite Film Festival in Utah. (The entire body of work is recommended for children 13 and older, probably largely due to one short entitled Fireballs, but that's as far as we'll go with an explanation.)
After the show and Q & A, we'll go next door to the Bijou Grille, tell some stories and rub elbows at the cash bar.
Need a laugh? Come on down. Want to meet some up-and-coming actors and film makers? Come on down.
See you there!
