a glimpse above and review/event info: Pool Time- the Movie, an independent film, premiered on Monday, February 22nd, 2010 at the Pacific Design Center's Silverscreen Theatre in West Hollywood, CA. The event was well attended. The legendary Carla Laemmle, the niece of the founder of Universl Studios, who plays Zelda in the film made an appearance and even stayed for the after party. She first appeared in a film in 1929. Inge Jaklin, of Hogan's Heroes and who plays Anna in this film, looked lovely in pink. Both of them contribute wonderful performances to the film Pool Time which adds a new twist to the romantic comedy genre. The film is produced by Tom Tangen and co-produced by Inge Jaklin. The story is written and directed by Michael Donahue. The director of photograhy for this refreshing tale is Scott Ressler and editing is by talented Tonya Noll with music by Ken Fix. As always, we do not want to give the story away and the film Pool Time is worth your time. It is a gay full of fun campy comedy with a full of surprises. There is tenderness and humor where the characters connect with each other and the audience. Marcus Harwell carries the film well and Jeffrey Patrick Olson, Mark C. Hanson, & Junes B. Zahdi build a solid team. Inge Jaklin's & Tom Tangen's characters brought a updated style to a classical romance story within a story and laughter to the story. Much of the story takes place-pool side and there is no complaints about that from us. There are many richly woven scenes that take place between the main characters & supporting cast. Once such scene is between the 4 guys and David's nephew Dexter and their no holds barred chat session. Cast: Marcus Harwell-lead-David, Jeffrey Patrick Olson, Mark C. Hanson, Junes B. Zahdi, Matthew Sordello, Elizabeth De Costa, Kieran Newton, William Freeman, GloZell Green, Taylor Burke, Scott Senofonte, Tom Tangen, Adam Allison, Q DeChambres, Gary Monje, Patrick Fulton, Gill San

Guest of Cindy Sherman -- Clip: Paul and Cindy

Trailer for the documentary Guest of Cindy Sherman. Guest of Cindy Sherman takes an eye-opening look at what happens when a skeptical outsider finds himself romantically involved with the ultimate insider. Paul H-O became a fixture of the New York art scene in the 1990s with his public access show GalleryBeat. Armed with a video camera, he attended art gallery openings, amusing some with his candid, witty assessments of their work, but also winning many fans. Among the latter was Cindy Sherman, the press-shy artist who is internationally acknowledged as one of the world s most gifted and significant visual talents. Cindy invites Paul to her studio for a series of exclusive interviews and through these videotaped encounters, he gains unprecedented insight into her artistic process and a romantic relationship blossoms. Their initial bliss ends when Paul finds himself wracked with anxiety about his own personality becoming subsumed by his role as Cindy's guest at the celebrity-studded openings and dinners she regularly attends. Filmed over 15 years and including interviews with a veritable who's who of the art and entertainment world (including Ingrid Sischy, John Waters, Robert Longo, Carol Kane, David Furnish, Danny DeVito, and Molly Ringwald), the film paints a vivid picture of the New York art scene that is also a witty, illuminating look at celebrity, male anxiety, and art.
