AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

This is an announcement for all LA folk, on behalf of old friend, Matthew Buzzell (Director of Jimmy Scott- If You Only Knew). He's screening his newest this Friday.

Tell Me Do You Miss Me, will receive its Los Angeles premiere with a weekend run on Friday and Saturday June 16th and 17th at The American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre. It will screen nightly at 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm on both evenings. The American Cinematheque is located at 6712 Hollywood Boulevard.

Fresh from its world premiere at The 2006 Tribeca Film Festival, Tell Me Do You Miss Me is a portrait of the four members of the celebrated NYC-based indie rock band Luna as they confront the ceiling of their ambition, the harsh realities of their modest success, and their conflicted feelings about each other as they embark on their final world tour and uncertain futures.

Laced with moments of both humor and melancholia, Tell Me Do You Miss Me is sonically supported with Luna’s dreamy catalog of indie-pop and visually with lush travelogue footage – with adventurous stops in England, Japan, and Spain.

Sean Eden and Lee Wall of Luna, editor Jacob Bricca, co-producers Brian Gerber, Arabella Field, and Sylvio Sharif Tabet, as well as sound editor Randy Perry and director, Matthew Buzzell will all be in attendance for the screenings on Friday evening and most likely for Saturday evening as well.

I worked with Matthew on one of my first storyboarding gigs back in 1999 rendering the concept art for a Luna music video that he was pitching. The record company didn't bite, but they did use the artwork for a promotional calendar that was produced in support of Luna's record "Days of Our Nights". I went to see them play an amazing show and got to enjoy drinks at 3 Clubs with them. It was really a treat. The band liked the drawings...said that they looked like superheoes. I had peviously seen Dean play many years earlier when Galaxie 500 played the Wiltern in Los Angeles(opening for They Might Be Giants... what was that, 1990? Wow.).

See you there! It should really be something.
