Cannes, Finding Jesus and the Wisdom of Isabella Rosselini

May 10th, 2010 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)

imagesThanks to friend Todd Livingston for recommending Roger Eberts Notebook on Cannes.  I can’t imagine a better way to prepare for the adventure ahead.  Thanks, too, to Henry Jaglom for his wonderful film Festival in Cannes which set the perfect mood before bed last night.  I’m now back at the Delta VIP lounge at the Detroit Airport, where I first wrote the treatment for trippin, where I’ve begun and completed so many adventures over the past 6 years, where I’ve grown up in some ways.  peggySo many fond memories in this wonderful place!  If it should come up before I remember to write my living will, I think I’d like some of my ashes scattered here when I pass, perhaps at the tequila bar or the flickering light tunnel (also Peggy Guggenheims home in Venice, West Village in NYC and Cordova, Spain, but I digress…) Read the rest of this entry »

Some First Class trippin’ in Tampa

devi cinebistro smFirst off, congrats to the team!  Yes, both of our films were well-received.  I’ll elaborate momentarily.  But first, Other Filmmakers, I hereby proclaim you should all submit your film to next year’s Gasparilla International Film Festival, and by all means attend.  You will thank me.  Where else can you be treated like royalty, enjoy nonstop films, food and parties,  pee alongside Jerry Springer (well, I didn’t, but Agustin did – and, no, he didn’t sneak a peek) AND watch your film at the coolest venue ever?

trippin’ in Tampa (with Death!)

March 15th, 2010 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)

GIFFpartyIt’s a Deviant sort of week in Florida apparently. Our short cautionary tale I Spit on Eli Roth will screen at the Megacon Film Fest (so bummed to miss that one), but then we’re off to screen both trippin’ and Death in Charge at the Gasparilla Film Festival (with special guest Jerry Springer – sweet!)  in Tampa – one of our fave fest destinations.  This one’s sort of a rite of passage for us… Read the rest of this entry »

We’re a Hit! (pun intended)

January 25th, 2010 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)

hearse smSo, trippin’s premiere was not only a smashing success, but we also won our first award!  Go, team!

For anyone who’s had a film screen at a festival, one likely knows that the world premiere is both exciting and a bit nerve-racking.  All sorts of concerns run through one’s head…Will the picture look and sound good?  Will we have an audience?  If we do, how will they react to our film?  And so forth.
