Free State Film Festival May 11-13

TAG is very excited to be a part of the revamped Free State Film Festival, Lawrence’s own film festival. There’s a lot to be excited about. For our part, we have two TAG-produced shorts (“The Line” and “Goodnight Jane”) as part of the Saturday shorts program. Also, TAG co-produced feature The Dome of Heaven will make its Lawrence/Kansas City debut on Sunday of the festival.

These are our contributions to an already strong lineup that includes new work from Patrick Rea, the scathing documentary Corporate FM and Sundance darling Compliance. The prices are ridiculously low considering this lineup: pre-ordered passes are only $20 and include all films and panels, two receptions and a discount on passes into the Replay’s Spring into Summer Music Festival. See you there!

KC Film Fest

More chances to see TAG work at KC Film Fest, going on April 11-15. Our short documentary “Stan Herd: Man of the Land” shows in the People Like Us (Shorts Program 1) block on Wednesday, April 11th at 4:30pm and again on Saturday, April 14th at 11:15am. If you didn’t catch Patrick Rea’s Nailbiter up in Omaha – featuring production and post-production support from TAG – it opens the festival the evening of Wednesday, April 11th.

You can buy tickets and passes here. See you at the festival!

New TAG Work – Two Nights Only

Being filmmakers, it’s not often we offer a totally ephemeral experience to an audience, but that’s exactly what we’re offering  this weekend at Onscreen Offspring. Jeremy and I (as well as Misti Boland, Ranjit Arab, Christie Dobson, Marlo Angell, and Ric Averill) are presenting new productions of original one-act plays. The hook – and the reason we filmmakers are being allowed near the stage – is that each short involves a video element. The use of video ranges from “live video” coverage to dream sequences to additional scenes. There’s comedy, drama, sci-fi, a tribute to silent film and a surreal mix of elements in the aftermath of the apocalypse that you really just have to see for yourself.

The show is at the Lawrence Arts Center this Friday and Saturday (February 3-4) at 7:30. Tickets are available online or at the door, get the info by clicking here.

These two nights are your only shot to see these shows, so hope to see you there!
