Series of short films premier for the Summer at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood

On June 7th, Diegodiego, Blanca Blanco and I headed to the Egyptian Theater for the premier of four short films (actually a trailer and 3 short films).

They were:
All of them were great, but Skip Listening in particular had a very powerful message that they got through with lots of comedy and lots of emotion, all in one very short package. The character Thor Ramsey plays at the beginning -- a distracted, self-important radio personality -- was really awesome. Gave me some ideas for a future project...

Interview with MingleMedia TV Network

Met actor Courtney Gains (@ IMDB) who is going to be appearing in the upcoming movies "Faster" and "Go Straight to Hell." He was super-nice, and spoke with Tim about publicists, current projects, and other stuff, which was great.

Q&A with the actors and production teams, including Miro Gladovic (former FIFA agent, creator "American Footy Star"), Amit Handa (producer "American Footy Star"), Shevaun Cavanaugh Kastl (writer and star "Conversations with Lucifer"), Gary Klavans (writer and star "Diamond Confidential"), Thor Ramsey and Lexi Marman (stars "Skip Listening")

Missed the after party at the Pig N Whistle Pub next door because it was getting late and we needed to get back home for Ollie!

Darby Quinn is a 23-year old recovering drug addict navigating her way through early sobriety.

Told with all of the irony and acerbic wit so true of life, Conversations With Lucifer reminds us that hope finds us in the most unexpected of places and the most unlikely of ways.
