See a film I edited
 

Tre, a film I edited a couple of years ago, will be playing at a couple of theaters in the LA area for the next week (I don't know if it will go longer than that - that seems to be what it's booked for at the moment). I know it isn't always easy to get out at night during the week, but if anyone thinks they might like to see it, I and the other people who worked on the film would surely appreciate the support. LSPE and I will probably go on Wednesday or Thursday, if you'd like to join us.

It is showing at the Sunset Five and the One Colorado in Pasadena. Showtimes are available here.

Also, here is the LA Weekly review:
GO TRE Unlike most indie dramas about rudderless 20-somethings who exorcise their hang-ups by talking and screwing each other to death, Tre is something rare: a perceptive, nonindulgent chamber piece that wrings a little art from that anxious age. Needing a break from life in the city, professional slacker Tre (Daniel Cariaga) crashes at the home of best buddy Gabe (Erik McDowell) and Gabe's girlfriend Kakela (co-writer Kimberly-Rose Wolter), only to discover the guest room is already occupied by Nina (Alix Koromzay), an aspiring actress newly separated from her husband. Soon, Tre begins a passionless affair with Nina, while Gabe and Kakela ponder marriage, silently observing their houseguests' exploits from a distance. Directed and co-written by Eric Byler (Charlotte Sometimes), Tre suffers from a familiar quarter-life-crisis setup, but the film repeatedly sidesteps the cliché of confessional dramas, eschewing "I feel this way — and therefore so does my whole generation" monologues for the naturalistic patter of sympathetic, half-formed adults whose unstable sex lives belie a deeper, unspoken malaise. All four performers deliver nicely subtle turns, but the best of the group is newcomer Cariaga: In the wrong hands, Tre would be just another enigmatic nonconformist who learns how to open his heart, but Cariaga transforms him into an uncertain man-child juggling the fashionable cynicism that protects him with the genuine feelings that will lead him to maturity or heartbreak.

Congrats Tom!
I wonder if Tre will be showing anyplace up in the SF Bay Area? If it does, I will surely support you!

I'm so proud of Tom! I got to screen the film with the director while they were working on it, and I'm looking forward to seeing it again. (And seeing the hubby's name - and work - on the big screen!) Please join us if you can!

Again, living in NorCal has robbed me of an opportunity to support my SoCal friends! Fie!

Tom, congrats!!! I'll be there in spirit!

Oh my gosh....I so wish I could go! Driving up on a weeknight is a huge pain but to see Tom's name on the screen.....argh!

I need to think about it.

Ooh, ooh, I was wrong in my mojo message... It IS playing SF!

Way cool (and it will be competing for my attention at this time with the Oscar Shorts program at the Embarcadero) No fear, I will see it, it is now so marked in my calendar! Since it's playing at the 4 star, I can also get in a stop at Green Apple Books and have a Vietnamese Sandwich before the show, then hop the bus for a few more blocks to the movies. Kewl

Any chance it's anywhere in Utah (or will be in the future)? <insert hope here>

Awesomeness! I'll be PMing to get the details - I wanna go!

So far we have a vote for Thursday!
