08.30.11 - SNOB

Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that LAPSE has been selected to another festival. Oddly enough, we will be taking part in another festival with a great acronym for a name! LAPSE will be playing this year's edition of SNOB, The Somewhat North Of Boston Film Festival! I am very excited to have been selected to play another festival. SNOB is held in Concord, NH on Sept. 15 - 18.

From the SNOB website:

"The SNOB Film Festival is a grassroots effort to showcase and support independent filmmaking. It strives to bring films to the area that local audiences might not otherwise see.

The SNOB (Somewhat North of Boston) Film Festival began in 2002 and takes place in Concord NH."

We will be receiving screening information soon and I will post it on here and the Facebook page as soon as it becomes available. I am planning on attending right now, so let me know if you are thinking about going and hopefully we can work some details out. It should be a good time.

Once again, I really want to thank everyone who helped make the film happen. I'm extremely proud of the piece that we came up with and it couldn't have happened without everyone's support.

Details to follow.

-Chris

Here is a little bit about STIFF (from their webpage):

The Seattle True Independent Film Festival is dedicated to the exhibition of independent, underground, experimental and zero budget films. The festival endeavors to provide cultural exchange and educational opportunities by bring a diverse selection of films to the area and provide a place for networking between local filmmakers, visiting filmmakers and the public.

Established by filmmakers, STIFF aims to be Seattle's own Slamdance, determined to offer a vehicle for truly independent and underground films. For the past seven years, STIFF has delivered a unique brand of programming that sticks to those guiding principles, and Seattle's famously adventurous audiences have happily benefited. The Festival has gained a considerable amount of traction and has been billed as a unique platform for quality "True Independent" films without big stars or studio resources. The Stranger's Andrew Wright hails STIFF, likening it to "a belch in church" and adds, "and I mean this in the best possible way."

Welcome.

Thanks for visiting the LAPSE blog!

LAPSE is a film that was produced in 2010. It was shot in June and carried through post-production through the late summer and fall.

Christopher Wiezorek (Writer / Director) conceived of the project as a piece that would be a peek into his style and an opportunity to bring together a talented crew from the MD / VA / DC area. Maboud Ebrahimzadeh was recruited early on to lend his guidance as the lead producer. Daryl Pittman (Director of Photography) was the eye behind the lens. Daryl's work can also be seen in festival favorite Modern Love is Automatic, directed by Zach Clark (also look out for their follow up Vacation!).

The cast was lead by Megan Therese Rippey (Lily). Megan (or Megs to her friends) is a long time friend to many of those involved in the project. She came out to the audition and knocked it out of the park. Joining her onscreen are Samantha Merrick (The Woman), Danny Gavigan (Owen), Joseph Thornhill (Zak), and Colin Smith (Davey).

LAPSE is greatly indebted to all of the cast, crew, and backers who made it happen.
