Laura Gets Her Due

“Indeed, an excellent corrective to “Walden” is the work of Laura Ingalls Wilder, who grew up on those prairies, and in a genuine little house in the big woods. Wilder lived what Thoreau merely played at, and her books are not only more joyful and interesting than “Walden” but also, when reread, a thousand times more harrowing.”

Read great article by Kathryn Schultz @NewYorker.  She has a new fan.

STAG
a new short film by Kevin Newbury
written by Donna Di Novelli
In the summer of 1963, fifteen-year-old tomboy Francesca (Sarah Steele from The Good Wife, Please Give, and GIRLS) investigates the mysterious comings and goings in the family basement, the off-limits domain of her father (Peter Rini from Orange is the New Black).  Her mother (Rachel Jett) leads her to believe that the neighborhood men gather there on Fridays to play cards. The mystery deepens as she encounters locked doors and closed curtains. In a bold move, she hides out in the basement. What she witnesses there will change her vision of the world forever.

 NYC PREMIERE
STAG will screen on Wednesday, May 27th, as part of the  New York International Short Film Festival at the Landmark Sunshine cinema – one of the best movie houses in the city!
Tickets are on sale NOW and members of the cast and crew will be in attendance. Make sure you get yours before they sell out!

The New York International Short Film Festival (NY Shorts Fest) showcases the finest short-form cinema from around the world to enthusiastic audiences in the vibrant filmmaking enclave of New York City.

NY Shorts Fest offers short-form filmmakers an ideal platform to screen their film and gain recognition in the heart of New York City. NY Shorts Fest premiered Ricky Gervais ‘Derek” in 2012, which became a popular British television show written, directed and starring Ricky Gervais. The series is now available on Netflix.

NY Shorts Fest feels that short form cinema and its creators should have their own premiere film festival in New York deserving similar recognition given to the feature film and its creators.

 

Award-winning film needs your help!
STAG just had its WORLD PREMIERE at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Film Festival last Thursday andTEXAS PREMIERE at the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival on Saturday, where won the GOLD REMI AWARD in the Dramatic-Original category.  We are off to a GREAT start, but we need your help!
As independent filmmakers, the burden of creating the film, marketing, and finding screening opportunities falls on our shoulders. We are working tirelessly to get this wonderful short out to the world and with this effort, there’s also a financial burden we have.

 

We launched an INDIEGOGO campaign so you can help our endeavor.

 

We’re currently submitting the film to festivals around the world and have already received invitations to festivals based on our rough cut! In order for the film to reach a wider audience, we need to raise at least $20,000 to cover post-production—creative and labor costs and administrative costs for film festival submissions.
