“Hours Before”, my short co-written and directed by Joel David Moore, will premiere at the Hollyshorts Film Festival on Tuesday, August 10. Check out the programming schedule here. I’m really excited to see it at the Laemmle Sunset 5 (8000 W. Sunset Blvd, 5 pm) because it’ll be my first “big screen” experience of anything I’ve written. Come on down if you can! UPDATE: Someone just emailed me that “Hours Before” also won its first award from the Los Angeles Cinema Festival of Hollywood (that’s a mouthful!) Details here. UPDATE 8/14/10: The festival was a lot of fun, the film was well-received (I think) and it was a real thrill to be there. UPDATE 8/17/10: “Hours Before” also won the Audience Choice Award for its screening night, August 10. Way to go guys!!
