coney review/underground film nite
glad to see some new faces at the coney gig...it was great, despite the swealtering heat.
(there's no AC, & still 40 people showed up!)
The producer of the series was impressed with the turn-out for a hot Aug. night, and was amazed at the "crowd interaction"....
At the outset I told the Brooklyn crowd that "talking back to the screen is encouraged!" Well, that lit the fuse, and it turned into a piss-in-your-pants interactive experience for all. This audience really, really "GOT IT", laughed at all the right parts, improvised/added dialog, chanted in unison, applauded for the most outreageous parts, I tell 'ya, it was way cool and almost rocky horror-ish! It's sad we could not attract the SI crowds at martini, I know we woulda got the same reactions, if only we had the numbers.
Anyhows, we'll be back at Coney next year! Kudos to Rob from indiefilmpage.com for this cool series.
Until then check out their schedule, there's always cool shit happening....Hopefully, we'll be doing a show at CSI this fall......until then we are still seeking a suitable venue for our monthly "underground film nite" screenings.
If you know of a bar or club that might be suitable for our monthly film series, please let me know. All we really need is a liberal-minded owner (one who won't mind a little explicit content) and his room on 1 wed. a month. Preferrably on the south or west shores. Even if you don't know of any places, Spread the word, maybe someone youre friends with can help us!....hey, ya never know!

That’s freakin’ great! I really wanted to go (I work nearby) but I had a prior engagement at some shitty catering hall - (when the guests arrive with oxygen tanks in tow, you know it is going to be an awesome party!!)
Keep us posted.
You could try the Side Street Saloon. They have a restaurant inside, too. The regular clientele are pretty wacky--er, I mean "interesting". They also get a tourist crowd, because they are so close to the ferry.--Suki
I am the owner or Beer Goggles Bar & Grill. I would be interested in hosting your event. Please give me a call at (718) 614-8064. We aren't on the south or west shore, but we are in a convenient location.
