Opening Night Film:
FRANK AND CINDY
G.J.’s mother Cindy (Rene Russo), was the ultimate groupie of one-hit wonder 80’s new wave band OXO, and married G.J.’s stepfather Frank (Oliver Platt) with dreams of glamor and awards shows. It didn’t quite work out. Meanwhile, G.J. is getting ready to head off to film school, only to find his parents have blown his inheritance on a basement studio for his out-of-work drunk stepfather. Both Frank and Cindy swear this time they will change for sure, and G.J. turns a camera on them to catch their empty promise. A narrative version of his This American Life-featured documentary, director Echternkamp mines his own family’s imperfections for a touching and hilarious story of failure and denial. -Bears Fonte
After the screening of the great Opening Night Film FRANK AND CINDY please join festival filmmakers, filmgoers, staff and friends at our Opening Night Party right down the street at Dance Mission.
New Wave City's DJ Shindog will be spinning classic one hit wonders for the dance floor. You'll be able to add some silliness to your Facebook profle at the photo booth provided by Out Of The Booth. Plus enjoy some live surprise entertainment. And an open bar.
This year's film festival has an excellent line up, and the line up of beverage providers this year is equally excellent: Tito's Vodka, Pussers Rum, No 209 Gin, Herradura Tequila, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Lagunitas and ZAP (Zinfandel Advocates & Producers) which is bringing wine from Rosenblum Cellars, R&B Cellars and Jeff Cohn Cellars.
