Strasbourg Film Festival screening information (and Austin news!)

11 September, 2008

How To Be has been announced as the opening night film at the Strasbourg Film Festival.

We are very pleased to announce How to Be as the opening night film of Strasbourg International Film Festival! This wonderfully independent film is an excellent example of a new and emerging filmmaker’s ability to make a dent in what often seems an impenetrable industry. How to Be is director, Oliver Irving’s, first feature film. His cast and directorial debut are as stellar as his producer, Justin Kelly, is dedicated to the success of this film. We suggest you arrive early. Seating may be free but it is limited.

The festival opens tomorrow, Friday 12 September. Because of the unusual amount of interest in the film, How To Be will screen twice: first at 6pm at LaGrotte and then at 8pm at L’artichaut. Further information can be found in their schedule. Justin Kelly, the producer of How To Be, will the be present at both screenings to answer questions.

And finally, we just heard that we’ve been selected to appear in the Austin Film Festival. This information is hot off the press, so we don’t yet have screening information, nor do we know if any of the cast and crew will be attending, but the festival runs from 16-23 October so be sure to make a note of the date if you’re thinking of attending.
