‘The Pleasure of Being Robbed’ Screening Tonight in New York
Our friend Josh Safdie of Red Bucket Films made a feature called ‘The Pleasure of being Robbed’ and he’s showing it in New York tonight at the Anthology Film Archives (32 2nd ave). The show starts at 8pm but I’ve heard it’s going to be packed, so show up early or end up in the aisle.

Two frames from Brennan’s boards for a film Russ shot in Argentina three days ago.
SxSW: The Execution of Solomon Harris
Our friend Jett Steiger is also at South by Southwest with a short he produced called ‘The Execution of Solomon Harris‘. It was made available on iTunes after showing at Sundance this year and it’ll be showing twice more this week in Austin (once later today). Go see Eli’s crazy camera work.
SxSW: Beautiful Losers
Bumped into Aaron Rose at LAX on Saturday morning — on his way to Austin to premiere the documentary he’s been working on for for a long time, ‘Beautiful Losers‘. I got to see a cut a few months ago, and you shouldn’t miss is if you’re around. Thursday’s show followed by a Money Mark show.
F-F-F-Frownland opens exclusive engagement today at IFC
FROWNLAND traces the unenviable existence of a friendless, luckless, self-described “troll from under the bridge” who hawks coupon packets door-to-door. Independent Spirit Award nominated filmmaker Ronald Bronstein has called his controversial, award-winning debut “a jagged little pill of a movie… My own small contribution to the sinking barge of the 16mm indie film — a mad valentine to the craggy tradition of unadulterated cheap-o independent expression.”
This is an extraordinary film. Go see it. Bronstein is there in person Friday and Saturday @ 7:45pm.
