The film I have been working on all throughout 2007, "THE INVISIBLE FOREST", will have two premiere screenings in the Bay Area over the next two weeks (see info below). This film was made without a script though I borrowed text from William Shakespeare ("The Tempest" and "Romeo & Juiiet") and French Surrealist Antonin Artaud; almost all the actual dialogue was improvised. I'll be at both screenings to field questions and maybe add a few more of my own.
San Francisco premiere
Friday March 14th, 8pm
Artist Television Access
992 Valencia (& 21st St), San Francisco
Admission: $6. Filmmaker in person.

SYNOPSIS
A theatre troupe camps out in a forest to perform their director's vision of Antonin Artaud's magic theatre of ghosts, gods and spirits. During their forest experiment Alex, the director, is haunted by disturbing dreams where Artaud appears and mocks his theatrical ambitions. When these strange nightmares persist, Alex stops sleeping in an attempt to regain control over his mind. Sleep-deprived and with his sanity pushed to its limits, he seeks help from a Psychotherapist who suggests hypnosis as a means to discover the source of his problems. What follows is a journey through the internal landscape of Alex's subconscious memories and dreams, a sojourn that leads us to a place beyond belief, beyond words, and beyond the mind itself.

Future screenings of my new film, "The Invisible Forest"
Fri, May 9, 2008 - 7:00 AMHi Bella
Thanks for asking. We've had four screenings so far and they've all been very well-attended and for the most part, warmly received. This is clearly my most non-linear experimental narrative feature to date. It seems that those with little or no imagination can get frustrated with this movie, whereas those with imagination still intact just lap it up like manna. I'm starting to think this film may be some kind of Imagination litmus test. LOL
Tonight starts a six venue west coast tour; dates and cities listed in my tribe blog or at:
