Lazy Eye Film at Washougal Festival This Weekend

This Friday our short film, "On The Wrong Foot" is screening at The Washougal International Film Festival.

This is a short film, Gea and I created in 2006 for the 48hr Film Festival. Here is some press about the film;

"...The 48 Hour Film Project is more about the joy of the collaborative process (and no sleep) than the cinematic end result. Of this year's films, all of which were screened Aug. 16 and 17, many were poorly made, relied too heavily on potty humor and were, at times, utterly incoherent.
But a few shining jewels made the first-round screening worth watching. On this Thursday's program, keep an eye open for WW's picks, team Cinema Syndicate's mockumentary Tooth and Nail about a vampire running for state Senate and Lazy Eye Films' meticulous silent comedy, On the Wrong Foot. These films were well-produced and well-edited, and they underscore the power of what independent filmmakers with good ideas, digital technology—and a little NoDoz—can do. " -JAMES BOYDA Willamette Week, Issue 32.42

We ended up receiving the Audience Choice and Best Acting Ensemble Awards for the festival that year, but we weren't chosen to move on in the competition. With such a tight deadline, we weren't able to get the full score added at the time so we laid in the sound of a reel to reel projector, which was a tad tedious to hear for seven minutes...but after the fact we were lucky enough to have my good friend Quinton Rice write a full articulated score for the film which in my opinion makes the film work 100%. I think if we had had the music on the film at the 06 competition, we would have won for the Portland Leg.

Marcella Laasch who is also in "Crackin' The Code" was featured in the film and did an amazing job...as did the rest of the cast. The film has since been an official selection at the Barcelona International Film Festival, and now here in Washougal.

It will be showing at 1pm. I am hopeful to get out there this week and see the world's funniest seven minute poop joke! Check out the site and see what the festival has to offer.
