911 and Artist Trust present:
From Innocence to Hollywood

Friday, June 19th 8pm
$4 / $2 (members)

Alec Carlin has written ten screenplays for Hollywood. Five have been optioned and one has been made. He has an agent in L.A. He's taken meetings, he's had lunches. He's been asked to add a few more explosions in the second act. This wasn't always the case. A few years ago he was an idealistic filmmaker making his own short movies on the streets of Seattle. In this program he will show three of those shorts and the trailer to the Hollywood movie he wrote. Following the program there will be a Q and A session about making the jump from Shorts to Hollywood. From artistic control to out of control.

Has Alec sold out? Is he still an idealistic filmmaker, albeit an older one? "Absolutely," he replies, &nqot;although I prefer to be called a passionate filmmaker now, 'passionate' is very big in Hollywood right now."

Immaculate Perceptions / Pizza Virgin (20min) A handful of strangers cross paths in a dark alley and are drawn together by a common experience, which, it turns out, none of them share.

At a Loose End? (20min) A man is compelled to follow a rope which leads him on a bizarre and circular journey.

Dicket Docket (7min) Meet a would be brainwasher in a gloomy interrogation cell.

Birthday Boys (6min) A young lad dreams that he celebrates with his lovely neighbor in his birthday suit.

Miranda 911 and Kill Rock Stars present:
Miranda July-The Electric Tour

Friday, June 26th 8pm
$5 / $3 (members)

"Alanis, Paula, Ani -- they all look like Strawberry Shortcake compared to Miranda July." --Rad Probst, USA TODAY

"Forget about techno. Miranda July is the future." --Lois Maffeo, THE STRANGER

"Miranda creates radical radio plays--what NPR would sound like if it was taken over by imaginative, slightly deranged youth." --Johnny Ray Houston, SAN FRANCISCO BAY GAURDIAN

911 welcomes Kill Rock Stars recording artist Miranda July as she takes us on an incredible 2 hour jet ski through the best in girl-style performance and video. This 24 year old artist has a shock value that has been compared to a young Laurie Anderson. The Electric Tour will present her latest multi-media performance which combines elements from her latest album The Binet-Simon Test, new movie The Amateurist and video collection Big Miss Moviola. Musical accompaniment will be provided by Paul Schuster of Some Velvet Sidewalk and Julie Ruin of P.E.Z. Also, Meme America from New Jersey will present their latest movie and play a live soundtrack.

Big Miss Moviola is a "video chainletter" distribution network for lady-made, low budget movies. Any woman who submits her work receives a compilation of ten other films. The Big Miss Moviola project has screened across the country and been featured in Sassy, Ms., Seventeen and The Village Voice. Miranda will show some of the best work from her collection and accept submissions for future chainletters!
