cinema lounge tonight

I hope everybody likes free movies because we've got four screening tonight at Bryant Lake Bowl.  Ok, they're actually four short-length movies, as part of the Cinema Lounge series, but that doesn't make them any less free.  All the movies look to be stellar (I can assure you on that count with at least one, which I've had the pleasure of viewing).  Plus it's a bowling alley with a bar.  It's like all my great passions at once.  Now if only they go schedule a Twins game there at the same time...

The magic starts at 7.  Here are the movies folks:

•John Koch with a preview of the upcoming "Minneapolis Project"
This festival is showing Thur, Sept 30

•Jesse Roesler's "Insalata Caprese"
I don't see the trailer for this on his website, but here's a description of it: 
Every true love begins with a true story. Revealed through the perpective of two passionate yet introverted artists, INSALATA CAPRESE is about the moment we stop waiting for life to happen and dare to start living. Matthew Amendt, Valeri Mudek and Barbara June Patterson star in this new short film. Shot on RED.
I saw this film at MSPIFF in 2009, and it's definitely one to watch (although I should point out that I worked on the set and am a friend of the director, but that doesn't change the quality of the picture).


•Sayer Frey's "Abandon ME"
Again, no trailer. But boy do we have words to convey this movie's storyline from the film's website:

A desperate woman abandons her mother in a cornfield.  Will she leave her to die in order to free herself?

"Abandon ME" is an allegory about a daughter choosing between familial obligation and self-preservation as her three personalities confront past abuse.

•And a sneak peak at Ryan Strandjord's latest film, "Prescription Happiness"
