Gone, directed by Mary Kerr, will be screening at the First Sundays Comedy Film Festival in New York on February 3rd, as part of First Sundays' second show of 2008!
Mary's film premiered in October at the St. John's International Film Festival in Canada, and for its second public screening will be "coming home" to downtown Manhattan. First Sundays is a festival Mary and I both really like and respect, insomuch as its very goal is to promote and nurture up-and-coming comedy talent, and so it's a real kick and honor to have Gone play there.
In the past films selected for First Sundays have gone on to play at both Cannes and Sundance, and be picked up by HBO, Cinemax and Comedy Central - which doesn't necessarily mean we presume we'll get similar honors, but that, at the very least, Gone is likely to play in great company, which is always a privilege.
The screening will take place on February 3rd at 7pm at the Pioneer Theatre on 3rd St (between A & B) in New York City - check out www.firstsundays.com for more information and to buy tickets (which are $10 apiece).
Another big hand to Mary - who shot this film nearly 2 years ago now, as the absolute FIRST thing she ever directed (for real), and now, through sheer perseverance, is getting it OUT THERE!
