I remember the first words Michael Hein ever spoke to me as I arrived to claim my filmmaker badge, “Oh, you’re a girl. I always thought you were a guy.” It was the first time we’d made the New York City Horror Film Festival’s selective cut with our short film RAVEN GETS A LIFE and it felt like a true rite of passage being there. No more was ever said of my gender. Michael praised our film and made sure I felt welcome. He was the consummate host and drew the most wonderful crowds to his impressive event.

Just like Sheila E., Devi wants to live the glamorous life. She’s not quite there yet. In the meantime, here’s where she’s at…
Thank You, Michael Hein …And Goodbye?

As any indie filmmaker knows, pizza is often a main staple on any shoot. And as any New Yorker (or transplanted New Yorker who will return eventually…sigh) knows, pizza is not a cuisine with which one casually trifles. A proper slice is pure heaven (and hard to find outside of the Big Apple even though many outsiders around the globe have the audacity to call their offerings, “New York Pizza” - ha! And as many a progressive, independent intellectual will also attest – Jon Stewart is positively dreamy – the “contemporary smart girl’s crush” (though Woody’s not completely out of the picture…) Read the rest of this entry »
Best Cinematography & Contenders On The Waterfront
May 24th, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
It’s been a good week for LAST SEEN ON DOLORES STREET. First, we’ve received news that we got into the Waterfront Film Festival - another first for us – yay! Then DOLORES joined the rank of our other films by officially becoming “award-winning”, as we’ve won the award for Best Cinematography (congrats, John!) at the Humboldt Film Festival (another first for us, I was so sad to miss it – supposed to be a really great fest according to friends who’ve been.) And to ice the yummy cake, I actually showed DOLORES to my students yesterday and one young woman actually screamed out loud, making even me jump from the unexpected jolt. That was a prize unto itself. Read the rest of this entry »
Behind the Scenes of Our Latest Shoot….
May 15th, 2011 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
It’s hard to believe it was just a year ago we were with trippin’ at Cannes, and now we’re in post on our PAIGE & HADLEY teaser, development for several features and pre-production for a new short and a webisodes series, as we sit on some rather big news we should be ready to share by early June. In the meantime, still photographer BEN JACKSON has surprised us with some candid video footage live from our set a few weeks back. We’ll unveil the new teaser in June, in the meantime – catch a sneak peek HERE. Also, stay tuned for more screening updates on LAST SEEN ON DOLORES STREET – we broke new festival ground again – yay!
