director Christopher Coppola Guerrilla FilmFest IV this coming Saturday...

The Guerrilla Film Fest (GFF) was established to provide an alternative venue for independent and foreign filmmakers who work outside the Hollywood & Indywood system (and who are therefore largely marginalized by the mainstream entertainment industry in the United States).

Next showings:
Carnegie Institution (1530 P Street - NW)
and Resources for the Future Bldg. (1616 P St - NW), Wash., DC
When: Saturday, April 3, 5:00pm to 10:30pm

TICKETS:
--$10 for Shorts or Feature Program
--$15 for both Shorts AND Feature Programs
--Ticket includes RECEPTION
--Buy tickets at door to Carnegie Institution or buy online in advance here and pick it up at the door.

Check out the film schedule at the website.

The feature film, being shown at the Carnegie Institution from 8:15PM - 10:00PM is "The Creature of the Sunny Side-Up Trailer Park." . Starring our own (she lives in Potomac) Lynda Carter ("Wonder Woman"), Shirley Jones ("The Partridge Family"), Bernie Koppel ("The Love Boat"), and Frank Gorshin ("Batman")..... gotta go see The Riddler!

After the screening, Director Christopher Coppola will be available for Q&A. Coppola began his film making career at an early age by creating Super 8mm films that starred his brother, Nicolas Cage. Since then, he has completed eight feature films.

I'd show this guy in a New York second.

A trade for John Currin perhaps?

Last night I was at a cocktail party in the home of Dr. David Levy, Director of the Corcoran. The party was to host all the local alumni of the Sotheby's Institute of Art.

I also came away with the impression that the Corcoran College of Art & Design may be working together in the future with the Sotheby's Institute of Art.

My good friend and Washington Post photographer Rebecca D'Angelo is having an exhibition of her photographs at Cornerstone Architects, 23 West Broad in Richmond. Opening reception is April 2 from 7-10 PM.
