Captain My Captain!

Like many people I've been heartbroken over the passing of Robin Williams this week.  Last night we were at the Chinese Theatres in Hollywood where ODD BRODSKY recently had it's Los Angeles Premiere. When we went outside we discovered Robin Williams' star directly in front had been turned into a beautiful shrine, with dozens and dozens of bouquets, candles, handwritten letters & notes, photos, mementos and so much love you could actually FEEL it.

A Bookshelf of Movies shot by Matthew Irving

Matt's away shooting a movie called MY MANY SONS in Nashville, Tenessee, while I'm here looking at this cool bookshelf. What do all of these awesome DVD & Blu-rays have in common? Our favorite DP shot them! --And this is only about 2/3rds of them!

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this night so special. ♥

Great review of ODD BRODSKY from FanBoy Comics!

I LOVE this review of ODD BRODSKY by Fanboy comics! "This film is funny, silly, quirky and entertaining.  But most of all, this film is us... On some level, we're all Audrey Brodsky"  It doesn't get much better than that!  Here's the whole review.

Thank you all for coming!

A HUGE heartfelt thank you to EVERYONE who came out to see ODD BRODSKY on the GIANT screen at the Chinese Theatres last night. It truly was a spectacular evening that I will NEVER forget. Seriously-- I don't think the screening could have gone better! We were thrilled to be the Alumni Spotlight Feature at the awesome 17th Annual Dances With Films Festival! Thank you to the festival for having us, to Laura and Ogeyi for being our badge girls, to Aaron and Mike for capturing the night, and to Canon for sponsoring the fabulous after party at Tinhorn Flats in Hollywood! Such a gorgeous venue, and how fun was it to see all of those behind the scenes pics and videos playing on ALL of the TVs in the ENTIRE place?

And another huge thank you to EVERYONE who made this movie possible. Especially those who could NOT be there, like our 3 lead actors Tegan, Matthew and Scotty, VFX genius Mark Alan Thomas, Supervising Sound Editor Victoria Rose Sampson, Executive Producer Sharon A. Fox, Chelsey, George, Lisa, Robin and everyone else who was here in spirit! And of course to my rockstar producing partner Thomai Hatsios and all of the Metahara and Free Dream Pictures peeps, who helped to make the 20 days of principal photography such a fun experience. This could not have happened without a village, and YOU are all AMAZING!

Film Radar: "ODD BRODSKY—a Movie about Hollywood—to have Hollywood Premiere at 17th Annual Dances With Films"

Love this story by Film Radar.

How does one make it in Hollywood these days? By getting their name in front of people!  And that’s exactly what director Cindy Baer is doing with her new movie ODD BRODSKY, which is set to have its Hollywood Premiere at the historic Chinese Theatres as the Alumni Spotlight Feature at the 17th Annual Dances With Films Festival.

Getting her name in front of people is just one of many concepts taken to hilarious extreme in ODD BRODSKY, an off-beat comedy about the adventures of 30-something Audrey Brodsky, played delightfully by Tegan Ashton Cohan, who’ll do just about anything to find her big break in Hollywood.

Encouraged from an early age by her doting mother Mary (Jesse Meriwether) at anything and everything, young Audrey (Ilana Klusky) makes a grave-side promise to become an actress.  Audrey grows up, moves to Hollywood, and finds great success… working forty hours a week at a steady office job she hates.  Ten years pass in the blink of an eye when Audrey finally decides to reclaim her childhood dream.

Although her befuddled father Joe (John Alton) doesn’t understand, Audrey finds support with “the Angels”, a group of five close girlfriends who encourage one another through tough love, which also makes for good comedy.  Here we meet fellow Angel Sammy (played by director/actress Cindy Baer, who also narrates the movie) and she’s “stuck” too. This plot point proves to be an interesting one, because it later comes around in a way that’s instrumental to Audrey’s plight, albeit not in a way you may expect.
 
Antics ensue as Audrey fumbles to create her new life as an actress. She hires an aspiring camera man from the internet named Camera One (Matthew Kevin Anderson) and moves in with a sexy new roommate Spuds (actor/musician Scotty Dickert). Insider jokes about living in Los Angeles bring forth some amusing social commentary about the importance we place on celebrity.  But don’t be fooled.  Below the jokes lies a bittersweet story that proves both inspiring and realistic.  Although this tale is industry- and female- centric, anyone who’s ever felt stuck, disconnected or invisible will relate to this film. In the end, we are reminded that validation and happiness have little to do with fame. What most people want is to be connected; connected with ourselves, each other and the world.

Sure to be a crowd-pleaser playing on its home turf, ODD BRODSKY screens as the Alumni Spotlight Feature at the 17th Annual Dances With Films Festival on Saturday night, June 7th at 7:15pm.

Tickets are available at the Chinese Theatre box office or here: www.danceswithfilms.com/slt_odd_brodsky.html
