A few weeks into school we were informed that Fog City Pictures, the film production company associated with SFSDF, was having their world premiere of their latest film at the Mill Valley Film Festival and the students were invited to the screening, Q&A, and after-party. The movie is called Around June and was written and directed by James Savoca who is one of my instructors out at school. The movie stars Samaire Armstrong, Oscar Guerrero, Jon Gries, and Brad William Henke. There is a (really poor quality) picture above of the Q&A, from L to R: Brad William Henke, Jon Gries, Jeremiah Bimbaum (producer & co-founder of SFSDF), James Savoca, & a staff member from MVFF. It was both cool and surreal to be at a premiere and see and speak with the cast and crew of the film. The premiere was sold out and seemed to be a success for Fog City! It was mos def. sweet to meet the guy who played both Lazlo (thanks for the movie trivia answer Pat!) in Real Genius and Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite...

How fun! I love the Rafael.
It was the first time I had been there but have driven by it on numerous occasions. I liked the theater a lot. Nice combo of old and new school theater.
