Local Filmmakers Movin’ and Shakin’
by Pete WannHot off the “Panther Whispers” tip-line are a couple of tidbits concerning local filmmakers.
First up: North Side High (and UNT Film School) grad Jose Juan Sauceda is currently touring the country promoting his film “Green Eyed Monster.”
It’s a supernatural thriller about a group of young friends seeking buried riches, only to find out that some buried riches are best left un-dug. A nice twist on this one is that “Green Eyed Monster” incorporates some urban legends with Hispanic folk roots, like La Lechusa. Best of all, it’s a movie that could be quite literally rewarding to watch! Jose has embedded clues in the film that could lead to $10,000.
Also, Andrew Disney, maker of the really great short film “Frank’s Last Shot,” which was screened at the Lone Star International Film Festival to a PACKED house, is has a new series of online sketches called “Good Ideas.”
They’re shot in Fort Worth, using Fort Worth talent. These are exactly the sort of things that I like to watch. Short, a little absurdist, and with familiar scenery. Sounds like my life so far.
Check them both out, and support your local filmmakers!
Correction: According to Jose’s blog (and the original e-mail which I apparently didn’t read thoroughly), he is NOT the filmmaker behind Green Eyed Monster, rather it is his friend Gabriel Barboza. Jose was involved in the making of the film and now he’s touring with Gabe to help promote it. And now you know that I’m the moron who screwed that up.
(Also, support your favorite local blog by sending us tips. Don’t think that what you know is too mundane or inconsequential for us to write about here. If it’s happening in Fort Worth or involves people from here, we want to hear about it!)
