Screening at VFF12: Closing Night Feature: “A Few Best Men”
Our
closing night feature, A Few Best
Men, has played internationally and is now coming to the Valley. It’s hard to top what one reviewer wrote
about it:
“A sheep
in drag, a runaway floral arrangement and Olivia Newton John as you’ve never
seen her before are some of the memorable moments of this riotous comedy in
which the humour varies from the outrageous to the ridiculous. Scripted by Death at a Funeral’s
Dean Craig, A Few Best Men
cleverly combines its culture clash and buddy themes with a wild tale embracing
family secrets, a drug deal gone wrong and a romantic wedding filled with
hilarious mishaps.”
“Directed
by Stephan Elliott (“The
Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”) with his indefatigable joie de
vivre and wicked sense of humour, the film is a sure fix if you need a laugh.
It’s a perfect marriage of British and Australian humour that fuses into its
own form. The refined, the raucous and the rip-roaringly rude collide in 97
minutes of sparkling mayhem.”
Co-produced
by VFF alum Laurence Malkin,
the cast includes Xavier Samuel,
Laura Brent, Kris Marshall, Rebel Wilson, and, yes, Olivia Newton-John.
Come for
the fun and stay for the awards. After the
5:00 screening, we’ll relocate to nearby Gallery
800 for our closing night awards announcement and party.
See you there!

Screening at VFF12: “Alumni Showcase" Shorts Program
Have some
laughs, and a little horror, with us Sunday afternoon as we welcome back some
of our previous filmmakers to screen their latest shorts.
Jeffrey Williams returns with A Day in
the Life of Your Cats, a terrific comedy about what cats do all day at
home. What they think of their lives,
their owners, each other, and the dog. And what
they do when you’re not looking. A fun
romp with witty dialogue, scene ideas, and acting by Zach Palmer and Ryan Tutton as the hipster
housecats.
Cameron Fay wrote and directed
his latest short, Sitting
Babies, which also sets up an awkward situation and mines it for
laughs. In this case, it’s a beleaguered
babysitter’s evening from hell, taking care of a defiant and manipulative young
teen boy played by Justin Bright. Jack
Quaid plays the hapless sitter who had no idea what he was in for, and
struggles with each new challenge from young Joey. And then mom comes home….
These are
just some of the comedies on tap. To mix
it up a little, we have the horror film Happy
Anniversary, about struggling newlyweds who come clean with each other by
deciding to kill those they’ve had affairs with. Thanks to Edward Payson for his latest
contribution to the festival.

Screening at VFF12: “Luminaris” and “The Ghastly Love of Johnny X”
Saturday
night we’re screening two films with playfully creative takes on film and
reality itself.
Luminaris
is a short comedy about a worker in a light bulb factory who tries to get ahead
by cheating, and what goes wrong—and right—when he’s caught. This gem of a film is beautifully crafted
with pixilated animation and a snappy story—told only with visuals and a score,
no dialogue—by Argentinian director Juan Pablo Zaramella. Cinephiles will recognize elements of silent
film comedy, day-in-the-life documentaries like The Man with a Movie Camera,
and other great works. And not just
films. As noted on the website ShortOfTheWeek:
“The
setting of the film is a classic Buenos Aires, revisited from a fantastic point
of view. The film uses a collage of styles, combining art deco, tango,
surrealism, and neorealism. This mix of influences is directly linked with the
history of Buenos Aires: the city and
its population themselves are a mix of different cultures.”
In
addition to numerous other honors, Luminaris
was named to the 2011 Academy Award shortlist for Best Animated Short Film.
Our accompanying
feature fits our independent sensibility to a T, or an X. The Ghastly
Love of Johnny X is a campy mash-up of 1950s juvenile delinquent films,
sci-fi thrillers, musicals, and comedies.
Banished to Earth for intergalactic juvenile delinquency, Johnny X and
his gang set off in search of a piece of alien technology that could change the
fate of the universe forever—the so-called “resurrection suit.” They’re soon embroiled in a wacky scheme with
characters including a femme fatale, a shifty concert promoter, and a recently
deceased musician “who won’t let a little decomposition stop him from rocking.” Really.
Johnny X also is the last feature shot on
Eastman Kodak's discontinued Plus-X 5231 stock, which was used on the likes of Raging Bull and Schindler's List—and will look great at the NoHo 7. And it has the final screen appearance of Kevin McCarthy, which alone makes it a must see for some
of you out there.

see filmmaker extraordinaire Paul
Bunnell introducing the film for us.

Screening at VFF12: “The Little Team” and “VINYL”
Saturday
at 6:30, we have a pair of entertaining youth-oriented films about underdogs.
The Little
Team, or “L'Equip Petit,” is a fun and inspiring documentary short from
Spain about a youth soccer team that’s never scored a single goal but keeps
going anyway—for the fun of playing the game, to make friends, and learn
lessons about life and sports.
Our accompanying
feature, VINYL,
is an underdog comedy about an aging British punk band, Johnny Jones and the Weapons of
Happiness, returning to the music scene by creating a younger group to mime
their songs. Sort of Spinal Tap meets School of Rock—as The
Santa Barbara Post put it, this is “a heartwarming rock mockumentary.” A fresh and funny film that
“delves into the relationship of rock star dads and their illegitimate
children, the misdirection of today's spotlight on the young rather than the
talented, and the role of technology in today's music industry.”

Shot in
just a few hours by a small crew, this film is great for kids and the grownups
who can learn from them. As the
filmmakers said in an interview,
“We are a little film company and we like to win but it can’t be always expect
this. We try to have fun with the
process, not just with the final result.”
Fortunately, the final result is a winner!

Screening at VFF12: “The Human Race”
Saturday
afternoon we have some high-adrenaline thrills and chills for you, with The Human
Race, a grindhouse-style feature written and directed by VFF alum Paul Hough. The "race" is to the death, as 80 people
plucked randomly from their everyday lives must race through an obstacle course: “Stay on the path or you will die. If you are lapped twice, you will die. Do not touch the grass or you will die. Race or die.”
If you
liked Battle Royale and The Hunger Games, “you will
constantly be entertained” here. Part of what sets this film apart is its
large and diverse cast of characters from all walks of life, including young
and old, male and (pregnant) female, physically fit and disabled, white-collar
and homeless.
This film
has been described
as “an extremely effective high concept thriller that belies its budgetary
constraints with those all-too-rarely-used secret weapons: strong characters and fine acting.” For example, the one-legged Iraq War veteran
played by Eddie McGee. As one reviewer
put it, “Eddie is great in the film, showing charisma, acting skill and
action-hero chops. He is faster and more
agile on crutches than some people are on two feet. Trained in Toronto by one of Jackie Chan’s
students, Eddie does all his own stunts including a mind-boggling fight
sequence.”
Another
reviewer writes
that, “In a ballsy move, director Hough allows big chunks of the film to
unravel solely through subtitled sign language exchanges, but to his credit
this actually works quite well, and along with McGee's physical performance,
give this a unique vibe that we don't usually [see] in more mainstream fare. Hough also thoroughly examines the baser part
of human nature (hence the doubly appropriate title), with some coming out as
noble and heroic, and others turning into blood-crazed lunatics willing to do
whatever they have to do in order to survive. Even people that start out as heroes may turn
into monsters by the time the race draws to an end, as there can only be one
victor.”
Screening Saturday
afternoon (11/10) at 3:00.

Screening at VFF12: “108.1 FM Radio” and “End of the Road”
Our Friday
evening program is a pair of thrillers, each playing suspensefully with murder
and who’s really the villain.
In 108.1 FM
Radio, it’s either a driver, or the hitchhiker he picks up late one night,
or neither. Accompanied by a radio
program bringing bad news, tensions rise between them: is the radio right? Should somebody get outta there before it’s
too late? Or is it just a false alarm? Find out in this short film—the third by Italian
filmmakers Angelo and Giuseppe Capasso, and a great
companion piece to our feature.

End of the
Road is a feature that ventures to remote Idaho for the filming of a
reality show pilot about a haunted house.
As you might expect, tragedy strikes and the cast and crew find
themselves struggling to figure out what’s going on, and how to survive. Some big unexpected plot twists make this
more than a typical thriller or horror movie.
Like the characters, we think we know what’s going on, but really don’t.
A terrific movie for fans of the genre, and of the many cast members who are film and TV veterans, including Doug Jones, Michael Dorn, Robert Picardo, Zack Ward, Danielle James, Davina Joy, and Todd Tucker. Directed by first timer J.P. Pierce, from a script by Monte M. Moore, it’s already won awards at several other festivals, and we’re proud to have it here.

Screening at VFF12: “Girls on Film” Shorts Program
As its
title suggests, The Oldest
Lesbian in the World is a documentary about a woman—Bobbie Staff, a butch
lesbian born in 1913—who’s seen a lot in her time. Accompanied by her longtime friend, Sweet
Baby J’ai, Bobbie takes us on a whimsical and revealing trip down a very steamy
memory lane, through photographs and vivid memories of many decades living as
an out lesbian in New York City and Los Angeles. This story comes from the filmmaking team of Mary Jo Godges and two-time
Emmy-award winning video journalist Renee Sotile.
One of our
comedies, Bathing
and the Single Girl, is about a single woman in her 30s comically
recounting her dismal attempts at a “first trip to cougartown.” Desperate after a long romantic dry spell,
she lowers her standards and reminds us of why she had them in the first
place. A witty monologue written and
performed by Christine Elise McCarthy (who also directed and produced)—part of
the fun of the film is seeing how it uses cinematic techniques to be more than
just a monologue. Elsewhere in the
festival, you can see Christine in Route 30,
Too!
You Got
This is a drama about two young women, each struggling with their own
lives, crossing paths and learning from each other. Lauren is a troubled teenage musician caught
stealing money by a high school security guard, who holds her guitar hostage in
order to teach her a lesson; the ransom is that Lauren must train with his
charity marathon team. Through this forced interaction with running—and her
assigned training partner, Susie—Lauren learns more about life and friendship
than she could have ever expected. This
film is an MFA student production by Simo Manfredi, a Directing
Fellow at the AFI. Click here for a sneak-peek
clip with Simo introducing her film. And here for an interview
with her.
In Liking Men,
a woman embarks on a restless odyssey of healing after a traumatic rape. While receiving the guidance of a wise woman,
her journey takes a surprising direction, as she tries to reconnect physically
with her husband. A terrific dramedy—based
on a Margaret Atwood short story of the same title—written, produced, and
starring Di Koob. Click here for a sneak-peek
clip of Di introducing the film.
Inspired
by the book The Green Hat by Michael
Arlen, Le
Chapeau (The Hat) is a drama about a Los Angeles photographer who recalls
his love affair with a French model.
Click here
for an interview we did with the film’s writer Sahag Gureghian, producer Rehn Dudukgian, and director Marie Tang.

Screening at VFF12: “Route 30, Too!”
Robert Romanus returns this time
with Jamie Rose (whose TV
credits include Falcon Crest) as a
husband-and-wife team tracking paranormal activity. Curtis
Armstrong returns as Deer Hunter Bob, living in camouflage and the woods while
awaiting deer season, when he’s not drinking beer. At another festival, Armstrong described
this sequel as totally different from the first film: “The first one is like a chamber piece. This
one is like a symphonic piece that's composed by Daffy Duck! For this kind of low-budget film, it's got a
lot of actors and special effects, which is nuts!”
Nuts
indeed. Check out the nuts and flakes in
all their glory on opening night, Wednesday, 11/7, at 8:00.
This film
has some adult situations, strong language, and simulated sex—so leave the kids
at home.

Press Release - VFF12 Program Announcement
With
over 30 films on its program, including
fifteen premieres and eight foreign films, the festival showcases independent
cinema from around the Valley and the world.
Adlai says, “the Laemmle slogan is ‘Not Afraid of Subtitles’ – and
neither are we this year. We’ve expanded
our foreign film selections to include three features—from the UK, Denmark, and
Australia—and five short films—from the UK, Italy, Spain, and Poland.” The selections include documentaries,
fiction, animation, and music videos.
The
VFF continues to promote local independent production, with fifteen films made
by San Fernando Valley residents, in the Valley, or about it. Fourteen films are from people who’ve screened
previously with the festival. The
opening night feature, ROUTE 30,
TOO!, is having its L.A. premiere and is the sequel to ROUTE 30, which the
festival screened in 2008. This comedy
is director John Putch’s second installment in his south central Pennsylvania
trilogy, with another ensemble cast including Robert Romanus (“Fast Times at
Ridgemont High”) and Curtis Armstrong (“Revenge of the Nerds”). The Thursday night feature program has the
L.A. premiere of MULTIPLE
MEANS OF MURDER, a comedy feature from Denmark, and WRITTEN IN
INK, a documentary short from Poland.
The “Girls on Film” program of short
films includes the U.S. premiere of UNDER A
VEST, a noir spoof directed by VFF alum Kal Bonner, and the world premiere
of YOU
GOT THIS, a drama by AFI Directing Fellow Simo Manfredi. THE OLDEST
LESBIAN IN THE WORLD is a documentary co-directed by two-time Emmy-award
winning video journalist Renee Sotile.
Other programs of short films include
“Comedy Shorts,” “Alumni Filmmakers,” and “Happy Endings.” Other features include the thriller END OF THE
ROAD, the horror film THE HUMAN
RACE, the comedy VINYL,
and THE
GHASTLY LOVE OF JOHNNY X—a mix of 1950s juvenile delinquent films, sci-fi
thrillers, musicals, and comedies. The
latter film is paired with LUMINARIS,
a pixilation-animated short about a worker in a light bulb factory who tries to
get ahead by cheating, and what goes wrong—and right—when he’s caught. A playful film from Argentinian director Juan
Pablo Zaramella, LUMINARIS was named to the 2011 Academy Award shortlist for
Best Animated Short Film.
The closing
night feature is A FEW BEST MEN,
a wedding comedy directed by Stephan Elliott (“Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”),
written by Dean Craig (“Death at a Funeral”), and co-produced by VFF alum
Laurence Malkin (“Death at a Funeral”). The
cast includes Rebel Wilson (“Bridesmaids,” “Pitch Perfect”).
