Coming soon to GSO...

We've just received word that "El Caffinato" will be screening at the Carolina Film and Video Festival in Greensboro later in February! 

This one is really exciting for us for several reasons: Greensboro is Liz's home turf, it's nearby so we'll be able to attend the screening, and it means more opportunities for all you North Carolinians to catch the film close to home.

So come out and join us at the Elliot University Center at UNCG on Thursday, February 23 at 7:00 pm. There will be sure to be at least a small contingent of the cast and crew in attendance, so come and say hello if you see us!

Between the screening in Boulder City at the Dam Short Festival next week and now this, we're looking at two festival screenings in one month. Still waiting on other decisions, so stay tuned!

Oh yeah - and we've written three more scripts. So there's definitely more in the works. More on that soon, too.

"El Caffinato" is going west!

Today was a two-fer for El Caffinato.

First, we got to pick up a copy of the Carrboro Citizen and see El Caff featured in the arts and culture insert. Then this came in the (e)mail:


That's right, folks. Our hipster western musical is going west! From February 9-11, El Caffinato will screen along with 100 other shorts as part of the Dam Short Film Festival in Boulder City, Nevada - half an hour from Vegas and right by the Hoover Dam!

We're thrilled and honored to be part of such a cool festival dedicated to the art of short filmmaking. We're especially stoked that our film is screening as part of a block called "Unique Views: Fresh and Inventive Approaches to Filmmaking Ranging From The Real To The Surreal."

So if anyone is planning a Vegas vacation, or if you know anyone out there in Nevada, pass on the word!

El Caff makes the local news!

Happy New Year everyone!

Things have been quiet on our end for a few weeks now. Aside from the behind-the-scenes photos that we posted on our Facebook page (go see them and "like" the page here), we haven't had a lot to report. All of that should be changing, starting now.

El Caffinato, "one of the most talked-about films at the Carrboro Film Festival," rings in the New Year with a little bit of local press.

In December, Carrboro Citizen reporter Margot Lester interviewed Liz and Rory about the project, and now El Caff is featured in The Mill - the Carrboro Citizen's monthly arts and culture insert.

If you are local to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area, you can pick up a copy of the Citizen for free at various newsstands about town. You can also read the article online at the Citizen's website (scroll down and look for the .pdf link to the January Mill insert.

More to come!
