Gretchen goes to LAFF

in

The locally made feature film Gretchen, which premiered at SXSW earlier this year, has been added to the Los Angeles Film Festival lineup. Gretchen was directed by local filmmaker Steve Collins as an expansion of his short film Gretchen and the Night Danger.

I was surprised and pleased by the film about an awkward teenage girl when I saw it at SXSW. I was impressed by the cinematography from the ubiquitous P.J. Raval, as well as the music by Graham Reynolds (who also scored A Scanner Darkly). If you're going to LAFF at the end of June, the film is well worth seeing.

If you're in Austin, you also may get a chance to see Gretchen soon -- I ran into the Screen Door Film guys earlier this week, and they told me that they're planning to host a screening of the movie in the next couple of months.
