Screening of Domino: Caught in the Crisis

About 10 days ago, on Jan. 26, we had a public screening of Domino:  Caught in the Crisis.  For those unfamiliar with the work, it´s a dramatic narrative film, still a work-in-progress, that I am shooting in Spain.  It´s about a middle-aged family man in Spain who´s been caught up in the economic crisis.  It´s being produced by my dba, Palomino Productions.

The screening took place in the Arlington Café in Kensington, and was part of the monthly screenings being presented by MAW (Media Art Works) in its EBMMSC (East Bay Media Makers´ Screening Club).  The next screening will be on the third Thursday of this month (February), so you might want to mark your calendars.

Bianca Beyrouti (project director for MAW) and Eve A. Ma (filmmaker) introduce the film.

The screening was a real pleasure for me.  It was relaxed and low key, with an interested audience that gave me plenty of feedback.  And they LIKE my work.

I have thought deeply about all the comments and now that I´m back in Spain, I´ll be make a few changes as a result.  It´s always a big help to see how people react to your work, for the simple reason that we make film/video in order to communicate, and so it´s important to see how well, or poorly, your work is communicating.

Part of the audience.

 So my thanks to MAW for giving me the opportunity to screen, and thanks as well to the audience--and the Arlington Café.
