WonderRoot's generally, mostly awesome crash course in local film hits the Plaza
Posted by Jessica Blankenship on Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 11:37 PM
There’s almost too much happening with this event series to get into it completely—experimental shorts, documentaries, narratives, animation, music videos, live video improv by Bean Summer and a new episode of a locally produced TV series (and by “TV”, I clearly mean “it’s online”...but a sitcom nonetheless.) And so as to not make our ears jealous of our eyes, there’s also a music intro featuring three of Atlanta’s favorite musical get-around guys, Adam Bruneau, Bradley Bailey and Ryan Gregory (I would list the great local bands theses dudes play/have played with but the short answer is: all of them.) And the whole damn thing costs six bucks. Bam. Done. Go.
- Godamsterdam
“follows the misadventures of the morally questionable best-pals-for-ever, Hanna and Sissela. A tribute to the great sitcoms of the 1990s past, Godamsterdam is equally parts wit, pith, quixotic, neurotic, ubiquitous, ridiculous, rumble, jungle, Blossom and Oprah. It’s better or as good as a nap."I can’t possibly think of anything to add to that. Except that I’ve seen the first two episodes and they’re funny.
Bonus plug: The Godamsterdam folks are having a “Godam-Dance Party” at WonderRoot on August 8. Knaves Graves and The Clap will play, with additional tunes from DJ Tanner (ohhh, I get it. Full House. Clever.)
Back to the film night...
After the screening, there’s a free after party at the Highland Ballroom and since Thursday is the new Friday, you should probably go tie one on.
Oh! And peep this animation by animation by Ashley Anderson and Aaron Keuter, turned onto me by the always-on-top-of-shit ThoughtMarker:
WonderRoot’s Generally Local, Mostly Independent Filmmakers Night. Plaza Theater. Thurs., July 29. 9:15 p.m. $6. www.plazaatlanta.com.
