| THE
2006 FESTIVAL TRAVELED TO ROME, ITALY ON JANUARY 26-28, 2007
3 days/21
films/1000 laughs
Produced
in cooperation with the English Theatre of Rome and the support
of the commune di Roma, three days of screenings for an international
audience proved to us that comedy does indeed travel when the
comedy has both smarts and heart.
The venue,
Il Teatro L'Arciluito on the Piazza di Montevecchio, is an ancient
building with a noble artistic history. The walls of the
theatre are 2000 years old. The space was used by Raphael
as a workshop. In such a place, we showed our works humbly,
and it was enthusiasically received.
The broads
who came to participate in the event - Michelle Maher, Donna Wheeler
and Lorraine Fontanes - got together to talk about the experience,
muse on the festival's impact in their lives, and yes, shoot some
footage. Donna Wheeler wanted to make a mini-thriller.
She pulled in a local actess, drafted Maher to be her heroine,
and filmed it with her digital pocket camera.
