West Coast Premiere for Still Green at Prestigious Screening Series
On June 27th 3pm at Hollywood’s AFI Theater, the award winning feature Still Green has been invited to premiere on the west coast as part of the Tisch West Alumni Council’s Cinema Club Screening Series. The Cinema Club’s high profile screening series promotes films by prominent New York University alumni on the West Coast.
The series pairs films with their attached alumni guest speakers (actors, directors, writers, producers). The Q&A and receptions following the screenings allow filmmakers, recent graduates, and press to mingle with established industry professionals and the guest speakers. Last year’s season included screenings and guest writers and actors from films such as Get Smart, Hamlet II, and The Eye. This series is exclusive for NYU alumni, but we are delighted to offer this screening of Still Green to the general public.
Coming on the heels of May’s screening of I Love You, Beth Cooper (starring Hayden Panettiere), Still Green is an edgy coming of age film that won Best Narrative Feature at the New England Film/Video Fest, Best Ensemble Cast at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, was rated Best Film Not Yet Released by Boston Critic TC and recently sold to Osiris Entertainment. This screening marks the end of a limited theatrical tour on the east coast. The DVD will be released later this year.
Written by NYU Tisch School of the Arts alumna Georgia Menides ‘99, Still Green is about a group of high school graduates who rent a beach house the summer before going their separate ways. An accident in the ocean tests their friendship, and the teens respond in a way some people find disturbing and others see as a beautiful act of loyalty.
Special guests include Still Green actors Noah Segan (Brick, The Brothers Bloom, Cabin Fever II, What We Do Is Secret, Deadgirl), Ryan Kelley (Mean Creek, Prayers for Bobby), Douglas Spain (Band of Brothers, But I’m a Cheerleader), Director Jon Artigo (Freedom Park, We Got the Beat), and Cinematographer Brian Crane (House MD, Entourage, The Office) as well as other members of the cast and crew.

Glen Hansard: from the movie “ONCE”
by admin on May.05, 2009, under Composers, Indie Film, acoustic, drama, film, music, video, youtube
I’d like to thank singer/songwriter/activist Daniel Hawks for telling me about “ONCE” and actor/filmaker/singer/songwriter, Jason Loch from “FLY” and “the elur” for reminding me to watch it.
I love this film and anyone who likes movies about music should see it. I have provided some links here for various people and projects related to this post. See the movie “ONCE” many times and pass the word. I can’t believe it was out in 2005 and I missed it. If anyone hears of showings in any theaters in California, please contact me at: markdoty2@yahoo.com
The Sweell Season is Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. They are the singer/songwriter/actors from the movie “ONCE“
How great is life when you are surrounded by creative people who love you and your work? I’m really enjoying this.
Thank You
Mark Doty

Still Green to in theatres May 15th
by admin on Apr.29, 2009, under Acting, Announcements, Events, Indie Film, Uncategorized, acoustic, drama, film, releasing, video
On May 15th – 23rd, producers Doug Lloyd, Georgia Menides, and Andrea Ajemian , and director Jon Artigo will premiere their edgy coming of age independent drama Still Green at Showcase Cinema North in Worcester, MA before starting a limited theatrical tour. Developed and post produced in Worcester Massachusetts, Still Green won Best Narrative Feature at the New England Film/Video Festival, Spirit of Independence- Best Ensemble Cast at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, and was rated Best Film Not Yet Released by popular Boston film critic TC Kirkham (Popcorn and Roses). Still Green recently sold to Osiris Entertainment and will be released on DVD and blue ray later this year. Osiris just made headlines in Variety after acquiring Westlake Entertainment’s library of more than 400 pics and Nelson Madison Films for an additional 40 titles.
Often described as “The Big Chill for teenagers,” Still Green follows the lives of a group of high school graduates who rent a beach house the summer before college. An accident in the ocean tests their friendship, and the teens respond in a way some people find disturbing and others see as a beautiful act of loyalty.
Jon Artigo’s former award winning film, Freedom Park was shot entirely in Massachusetts and became a local sensation in 2004. This past summer, Artigo and Ajemian produced the feature comedy We Got the Beat, (also set and filmed in Worcester, MA) currently in post production.
Still Green stars Sarah Jones (Big Love, The Riches), Ryan Kelley (Mean Creek, Prayers for Bobby), Noah Segan (Brick, What we do is Secret), and Douglas Spain (Band of Brothers, But I’m a Cheerleader). The film has been called the film “Powerful and Poignant” -Larry Richmond (pro-networks.com) “haunting and hypnotic” – Adam Moore – former consultant Miramax Pictures” and “A film with the dramatic strength of a theatrical play with the cinematography and music of a blockbuster film” – Markdoty.com
A wide range of promotional events will accompany the film’s release such as private and open parties, concerts from artists from the film’s soundtrack (including platinum recording artist Kaz Gamble), meet and greets / networking with members of the cast and crew and (film shoot contingent) free acting classes with director Jon Artigo. Following the Worcester screenings, Still Green will screen at Coolidge Corner Theatre in Boston on Wednesday May 27th and Thursday May 28th at 7:00 pm.
