Oedipus Rex Screens at Indie Memphis

My latest short film, Oedipus Rex, screens tomorrow, Saturday, October 11, at 2PM at Studio on the Square as part of this year's Indie Memphis Film Festival. The film stars Bennett Foster and Brad Kroeker. Kevin O'Brien was the sound recordist; and my lovely wife, Jenean Morrison, assisted with all aspects of the production.

It's a very short (about 4 minutes), very direct interpretation of the Oedipus story, based loosely on the play by Sophocles. It screens with a few other shorts in Shorts Program #2. The fest seems to have grown dramatically this year and I am excited to attend many of the films and functions; (please see above link for a festival program.)

Thanks again to my actors and crew and I look forward to seeing everyone at the screening!

I promise to do a proper New York Trip post soon ...

... but until then, gaze upon this:

My lovely wife, Jenean Morrison, had a fantastic time at her Domino Magazine internship; I had a blast seeing movies all over the place (including a couple at the NY Film Festival); and it was fantastic seeing our friend, Bob Beehm, producer of the excellent horror film Mr. Halloween. More details later: Indie Memphis Film Festival is this weekend and my short film, Oedipus Rex, will be screening Saturday at 2 PM at Studio on the Square in midtown Memphis. When the fest wraps up I will post more NY picks and stories!!!
