(This video is from the Rochester Civic Theatre. On stage with Martin Zellar are Brandon Sampson and G.B. Leighton.)

Anyone planning to portage a canoe through Beaner’s during the performance?

Lunch Films – March 19

Truly independent films are made from the gut. One day Mike Plante bought a filmmaker friend lunch. Instead of owing him lunch, why not make a film for that same money? They made a napkin contract with rules to follow. Its easy to support a filmmaker, do what you can. A little goes a long way.
Featuring Lunchfilms by Sam Green, Bobcat Goldthwait, Aza Jacobs, Brent Green, Braden King, Naomi Uman and Lee Lynch, Martha Colburn, Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin, Nick McCarthy, Jake Mahaffy, Sarah Soquel Morhaim, James Graham and Tom Barndt. Zinema 2, March 19. One week only.

This post is being published early on Sunday morning for a reason. The first person to write a comment on this wins two tickets to the opening night show (Thursday, March 11, 7:30 p.m.). It’s a reward for being up early on a Sunday and reading about oldness.
