We've all been pushing for years to get our films made and released. I like to think that we can join and be stronger as a united force and, through this, find more opportunities and success (artistically and commercially).</span></div><div align="center" style="color: white; font-family: inherit; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Several filmmakers have donated and have included our info on their websites, mailing lists, social media, etc. Among them, our neighbors, <a href="http://www.parkslopefilms.com/">Park Slope Films</a> (Park Slope as in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where I and they live) has been supporting the film in various ways. They are helping me to get the word out to their (our) community. They also connected me to <i><a href="http://theartofbrooklyn.org/Film_Festival.html">The Art Of Brooklyn Film Festival</a> </i>where I was able to screen the trailer.</span></div><div align="center" style="color: white; font-family: inherit; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I also screened the trailer at the <a href="http://www.cacno.org/">Contemporary Arts Center</a> of New Orleans and at the <a href="http://www.cinemaonthebayou.com/">Cinema On The Bayou</a> Film Festival in Lafayette, LA. We had as many as 200 audience members at the screenings.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: white; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqFPFfDoJgYbbIYriahyphenhyphenLwZmkSAnbX5GrOV0MjFftWmJ-CjrPj_DNccJY65p7sLQqjI9Ja5UyZ4Lfp_tDrzCtCt3Wsa_ogaNEY0V4Nr5eedIg9I7RWV7LmJs2nVS9vtNHv3y5zyIzyBs/s1600/IMG_2348GiovanniStair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqFPFfDoJgYbbIYriahyphenhyphenLwZmkSAnbX5GrOV0MjFftWmJ-CjrPj_DNccJY65p7sLQqjI9Ja5UyZ4Lfp_tDrzCtCt3Wsa_ogaNEY0V4Nr5eedIg9I7RWV7LmJs2nVS9vtNHv3y5zyIzyBs/s320/IMG_2348GiovanniStair.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center" style="color: white; font-family: inherit; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="center" style="color: white; font-family: inherit; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's very helpful to screen to a large audience in a theatre and see their reaction and receive feedback through the Q&A. I remember the first screening of the trailer. I was nervous of the reaction, and then... the audience erupted in laughter - they burst into applause at the end. The overwhelmingly positive response at those screenings gave me confidence and enthusiasm to push forth to the completion of the film.</span></div><div align="center" style="color: white; font-family: inherit; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Involving audience response throughout the process allows me to gain the necessary perspective to be certain that I am properly communicating my intention. I'm hoping to continue this process through pre-screeners and the online community. I invite you all to be a part.</span></div><div align="center" style="color: white; font-family: inherit; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thanks to all the filmmakers who have stepped up to support the movie. Thank you for helping spread the word and inviting your communities and fans to be a part of this film. It means a lot to have a filmmakers discerning eye validate the work.</span></div><div align="center" style="color: white; font-family: inherit; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">We're growing together and I'm here to support you all and help your films become a success.</span></div><div style="color: black;"><br />

Can also be a big troublemaker, starting rumors and believing what ever she hears from idiots like Charlie and Bobby. She doesn’t like Charlie or Bobby but sometimes jumps on board just to push people. Kelly is also overly happy all the time but can change to overly suspicious in a minute. She is very much in love with her husband of 23 years Claude. Claude is a tall black man. Early 50’s. Claude is extremely put off by most of the block, is also very much in love with his wife and very protective of her. Claude would rather keep his distance from everyone on the block but Kelly likes to keep up with the gossip and is always in the middle of everything. They have lived on the block a long time, almost as long as Pete. Good luck trying to win an argument when both are around.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing from you.</span><a><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><br /><br /></span></a>Park Slope Films Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074059493612298406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919247642882961814.post-61634435100557405962010-10-18T11:13:00.000-07:002010-10-18T12:40:21.369-07:00AWARD WINNING "APOSTLES OF PARK SLOPE" SCREENING THIS WEEKEND<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprRzuZyJXgduKk7I4LSm_8HDwjYY_PUiexkRdUd6HJ7RsRPm2A7jsdPHTIkfI6azzqE5ds8-mD4GWYWqA3SRPqQyn_I4tY3Tw60nASezhku7qF-nORqqk2CAWgJeymO3ehmJ5c6_8cUk/s1600/A.o.P.S.+new+5*4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprRzuZyJXgduKk7I4LSm_8HDwjYY_PUiexkRdUd6HJ7RsRPm2A7jsdPHTIkfI6azzqE5ds8-mD4GWYWqA3SRPqQyn_I4tY3Tw60nASezhku7qF-nORqqk2CAWgJeymO3ehmJ5c6_8cUk/s200/A.o.P.S.+new+5*4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529450900641731458" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><p class="yiv961712570MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:130%;">TICKETS ARE ON SALE FOR <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"APOSTLES OF PARK SLOPE"</span> screening this weekend at <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Astoria/LIC Film Festival</span> on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday Oct 23rd @ 12pm</span>.

It's a modest event with some ambitious films. Without corporate sponsors, it screens low-budget films, yet low-budget films that can rock your socks! Such as <em>Apostles of Park Slope.</em> </p> <p>The film's narrative is straightforward. A man that is too young loses his not-that-old mother. The neighborhood gang of guys rallies around their distraught buddy. He's taking it real hard. They organize a get-together at a local Italian restaurant for food but mostly drink. The local priest shows up, but he's in his own holy world. Slowly, as the night progresses, the mourner begins to come around. </p> <p>The message of <em>Apostles of Park Slope </em>is simple: religion is not the key to making it through the hard times of life, although it might not hurt, in fact it might help, yet the real life savers are your friends. Yes, even if those friends are 12 foul-mouthed Brooklyn destroyers-of-the-English-language knuckle-headed Micks, Wops, and Polacks.</p> <p>"During the film I want the audience to feel they are right there and a part of the dinner," blurts director Jason Cusato in rapid-fire machine gun nasal. After a short gasp for air: "When walking out of the theater I want them to feel the bond of friendship is the most important thing in life -- Hey, Tony! How yuz doin?" </p> <center>This is an old story in the context of today: a close-knit community held together by individual ethnic identities with religion providing loose background support. Although the old Brooklyn neighborhoods are quickly disappearing -- the departed generally head to the bright lights of Manhattan or the green yards of suburbia Long Island -- the old tight-knit groups still hold some turf in Brooklyn. The old culture still retains the power to comfort. It still gives meaning to life. And when life is the most difficult, like when a mom dies, the old friends are the most important.</center><p>Based upon real events and real characters, <em>Apostles of Park Slope</em> is heart-wrenching, inspiring, funny and solemn. There is a relentless stream of surface conflict -- Brooklyn being the premier culture of conflict -- with crude putdowns and vulgar comebacks. Yet, wrapped inside this maniacal circus of flaming words, where in-your-face is the norm, are genuine feelings and steadfast loyalty. Yes, this is a guy's film. </p> <p>"Yet, if you come across as real," Cusato insists, his mouth barely moving as words rip through his nose, "there is no girl/guy film. It doesn't exist if the film is viewed as real." </p> <p>The strength of <em>Apostles of Park Slope</em> is it does come across as real. Not as in "reality" television, and not because audiences suspended their mechanisms of disbelief to believe what they are viewing is real. No, this real comes from the gut. From a meshing of what is on the screen with the audiences personal experiences and what they have learned about life -- or at least about Brooklyn, which is certainly not always the same as life. </p> <p>The characters are distinct and believable, not Hollywood urban cut-outs, and the acting is strong, with most of the cast and crew from and/or residing in Brooklyn. Their speech is not prettified; the words are blowtorched through the nostrils with a vengeance. The setting is authentic, a restaurant on 3rd and Union in Park Slope. The film is about a particular place, not some "New York" shot in Toronto by people living in California speaking in a Mid-Western voice making it all palpable in Bombay, India. This is Brooklyn. And if you don't like Brooklyn, then go eat your popcorn at a mall multiplex with the rest of the sissies. </p> <p>And the Q&A after the screening was also Brooklyn. Hands shot up as questions were screamed at the director and 12 actors on the stage. Jokes ripped through the audience; soon the Q&A had a parallel riot in the audience. The good guys with trash mouths were not only in the film. The women's hair resembled huge botanical gardens, bouncing up and down as they hurled verbal questions at the stage or at people sitting around them. It really didn't matter. The men had a particular fondness for scratching themselves and when speaking naming that part of their anatomy. If you censored their cuss words, they couldn't say anything. </p> <p>This was not Cannes, where the men have slap-fests and the women lose their passports. And the after party at the 420 Amsterdam Bar and Lounge had not even begun. No doubt, this movie was going to run very long into the night. And it would probably take a month for my normal speech patterns to return. </p> <p>There are film festivals that would not screen <em>Apostles of Park Slope</em> because it cuts too close to a reality that makes audiences feel uncomfortable -- well, at least that's what the festival honchos believe. Yet, what drives skyrocketing numbers of filmgoers to events like the Manhattan Film Festival are authentic films, independent films that sharply convey a reality of a particular place at a definite time, of a certain group of people. This film is not another anyplace at anytime meant to achieve the widest possible audience, which is often the most dumbed down and bored possible audience. <em>Apostles of Park Slope</em> zeros in on one chunk of reality, yet a reality with a universal message. </p> At the end of the film, the local priest who was relentlessly attempting to rebuild his dwindling congregation by getting the gang to attend mass, finally gets the message. Although friends are not higher than God, in this world friends are as important. It's a simple yet immensely important message. One for all of us, even for those who don't live in Brooklyn.Park Slope Films Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074059493612298406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919247642882961814.post-31834338501055013432010-08-07T14:02:00.000-07:002010-08-09T10:00:16.373-07:00“Apostles of Park Slope” accepted into two more Film Festivals<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjra2nisaFm6Sh3fsKefDu68_ze0iCoenpWvo6yDwxfIAWTQ1cncUU3fvrFtdyVkMBR9TyprArh9dyvIuWQFpmAdnkoSav8CBpWluv7re0Ey0r-aE6nJb40EgWTCGlTmlIsyYe01zl06XA/s1600/acifmf-logo.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502781614689792498" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjra2nisaFm6Sh3fsKefDu68_ze0iCoenpWvo6yDwxfIAWTQ1cncUU3fvrFtdyVkMBR9TyprArh9dyvIuWQFpmAdnkoSav8CBpWluv7re0Ey0r-aE6nJb40EgWTCGlTmlIsyYe01zl06XA/s200/acifmf-logo.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br />“Apostles of Park Slope” has been accepted into the Atlantic City International Film and Music Festival from September 8th - 12th 2010.

The festival, formerly known as Independent Features, announced today 10 features and 48 short films headlined by Jason Cusato’s “Apostles of Park Slope.” The event will be hosted July 21-25 on the Upper West Side and out of the 58 films revealed today, 24 feature the work of New York filmmakers and 11 are international selections.</p> <p>Cusato, who leads a list of 9 Brooklyn filmmakers, said, “The Manhattan Film Festival is a unique festival that goes above and beyond to make each filmmaker and their work feel special. We are excited and honored to be part of this year’s festival, especially opening night.” Cusato’s film “When Broomsticks Were King” was the first film the festival ever screened. Founder Philip J. Nelson said, “I believe Jason is the next great filmmaker to come out of New York and it’s only fitting he opens our first year as the Manhattan Film Festival.”</p> <p>In January the festival legally became the Manhattan Film Festival. In one short year they have grown over 729% and are on track to become the largest independent film festival in New York City. While those facts are alone staggering, what is more impressive is they accomplished this without the benefit of a corporate sponsor. Their rise was not easy.</p> <p>After hitting a brick wall in 2008 their chances to make it were slim to none. After a partner failed to perform they were left with an economic nightmare. Nelson had no way to support his family and his situation was dire. While cleaning out his office he noticed a content partnership agreement he was given. He thought of it as the only opportunity he had to get himself out of the mess that he was in. He started a vlog and 50 million views later he credits that partnership for saving his life. Little by little he started digging himself out of a seemingly insurmountable hole and their vision of creating a film festival that would level the playing field for independent filmmakers was still alive.</p> <p>A year later, at a fundraiser for the “Apostles of Park Slope,” Nelson saw how Cusato brought his community together and was reminded of the true independent spirit. The festival has since reached out to local businesses to bring special screenings and festival events such as after-parties into the community. “Our goal is to bring local businesses added clientele, give attendees a unique festival experience, while creating a product equal to or greater than Hollywood on a shoestring budget,” said festival co-founder Jose Ruiz Jr. For more details or a list of official selections, please visit <a target="_blank" href="http://www.manhattanfilmfestival.org/">http://www.manhattanfilmfestival.org</a>.</p>Park Slope Films Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08074059493612298406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919247642882961814.post-57296236275548610292010-04-29T20:31:00.000-07:002010-04-29T20:43:31.564-07:00Park Slope Films will be part of "Films on Fifth 2010"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1T7vTqgAlenYotzotohjTteacDqWd-UKcpeEtd6XBr85hJKvQ7Ba4cmpoox0man3sudha9SmUkdkl6LhynfuckhfYPNuhLTmLsls7YbaAhnkHohKnAYyBE_BgeiRhcUK00fixs3JafKM/s1600/4524213113_3c96f17a81.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1T7vTqgAlenYotzotohjTteacDqWd-UKcpeEtd6XBr85hJKvQ7Ba4cmpoox0man3sudha9SmUkdkl6LhynfuckhfYPNuhLTmLsls7YbaAhnkHohKnAYyBE_BgeiRhcUK00fixs3JafKM/s320/4524213113_3c96f17a81.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465768189210331282" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">"Films on Fifth 2010"<br /></div> <br /><div style="text-align: center;">April 30-May 9, 2010<br />Films on Fifth 2010<br />Twenty Indie Films in ten days along Fifth Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn <br /><br /></div> Jump on the R, take the F, hail a cab or run to Fifth Avenue, Park Slope for FREE screenings ($10.00pp minimum purchase required) of over twenty Indie Films in the restaurants, bars and hair salons on Fifth Avenue from 18th Street to Dean street.
