schism trailer and Q&A clips coming soon!

We hope to have some new goodies online in time for the holidays. Stay tuned!

Los Angeles: schism at Zero Film Festival (Day Four)

Our last day in Los Angeles included window shopping on Robertson Blvd and Beverly Blvd. Lunch at The Ivy. Walks around The Grove and Farmer's Market. A visit to Santa Monica to see the sunset/ocean at the Pier. Our adventures closed out with some delicious crepes in Santa Monica with Dennis. Definitely squeezed a lot into such a short time here and we really had a blast! More later...tired and packing.

Los Angeles: schism at Zero Film Festival (Day Three)

Dorota and I were ambitious Thursday morning and got a Starline Tours package where you can get on and jump off their topless buses all around Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Downtown, etc. Today was our first day of really beautiful, smogless weather. We had some yummy Japanese pancakes near Rodeo Dr. at a new place called Fulfilled. Things didn't go quite as planned for Jimmy Kimmel Live and we instead caught a movie at the famous Grauman's Chinese Theater. This place was incredible! And even though the movie we saw, "Punisher: War Zone", wasn't award material it still completely satisfied in showing off the theater's gigantic and sound. Keep the kids away from this one, it's brutal. It's funny to return to our hotel every night and see the groupies gathered in the hallways looking for celebs. Everytime we pop in and out of the elevator they are there waiting to snap a photo of anyone. They floated around someone the other day when we were chilling in the lobby - taking photos and autographs but we didn't recognize them. Probably Zac Effron or some other kiddie star.

Our night was capped off with a great screening of "schism" at the Downtown Independent Theater in Downtown Los Angeles. The picture and sound were great and we were very happy to play in such a cool venue. We were asked some great questions during the lengthy Q&A afterwards as well. If you saw our film at the festival please be sure and rate it at IMDb. We got to meet some great people and catch up with some old friends. Zero is a new festival, but everyone got the feeling that festival director Richard Hooban is starting something great here in L.A. and we feel very honored to be a part of its birth. We highly recommend this festival and hope to be a part of it for years to come. Thank you, Rich! After the screening we headed back to The Standard, watched a bit of the nighttime production that was filming on the blocked streets surrounding our hotel and then headed up to the rooftop club for some fresh air before we turned in. We're tired and need some rest... Back soon!

We had a great time this afternoon with our host-for-the-day Dennis. He gave us a quick spin around hot spots in Hollywood, residential neighborhoods in Beverly Hills, and then we walked Melrose Ave for a couple hours. We ate lunch/dinner at the Pig and Whistle and had a snack at Pinkberry. Before we knew it, it was time to head to the Zero Film Festival for the screening of "schism"!

Got up early after plenty of rest. Above are some photos from out room at The Standard. Dennis Widmyer, filmmaker and owner of ChuckPalahniuk.net, is picking us up for lunch and we're going into the heart of Hollywood this afternoon to get oriented. "Schism" screening tonight...more later!

Friday TV Notes: We have tickets for Jimmy Kimmel Live tomorrow night (William Shatner and Ludacris-tmas are guests) and we're going to try and catch actress Cate Blanchett getting her star on the Walk of Fame.

This first post from LA will be brief. We checked into our hotel, The Standard, which is a really cool place owned by a couple of people named DiCaprio and Diaz. Went exploring the sites around the hotel (which ranged from classy to a little scary) and then turned in early -- a little jet-lagged. We ate at Weiland's Underground Brewery and enjoyed the view at the rooftop club at our hotel before turning in. Met a film investor who backs big Hollywood features. Invited him to our movie. Tomorrow night is our big screening!

We've been waiting for this day for 3 years now...

Packing our bags for Hollywood and in just a couple days showing our movie in a cool theater downtown...
