Presenting the internet debut of SCREENING PARTY. Here is part one (of four) of the comedy pilot based on the novel Screening Party by Dennis Hensley, produced through Velvet Candy Entertainment. The story goes like this: Six diverse friends get together to watch, skewer and celebrate the classic romantic comedy PRETTY WOMAN and discover that movies themes--sex, love, money, shopping--reverberate in their lives in unexpected, funny and occasionally touching ways. The pilot stars Ossie Beck, Nora Burns, Dennis Hensley, Felix Pire, Erin Quill and Tony Tripoli. Tune in for part two tomorrow.

REUNION in San Francisco

From The San Francisco Bay Times

The Frameline International Film Festival unspools June 18 - 28 in Bay Area theaters. Here’s an advance guide to the hot tickets.

Fun in Boys Shorts Saturday June 20, 11:00 am, Castro and Sunday June 28, 2:15 pm, Castro

This collection of short films includes a few highlights. Dennis Hensley’s witty and charming Reunion may be the best of the bunch. A twenty year-old itch is scratched when a gay guy reunites with a straight high school hunk he was crushed on and someone acts on his desires. It’s arch and enjoyable.

REUNION all over the place!

Good news for people who haven't seen REUNION, the sweet and funny short film made last year by Dennis Hensley with Velvet Candy Entertainment. (Or fans who might want to see it again and again!)

REUNION will have it's basic cable debut on Logo on April 24 as part of The Click List series of short films. 

Also, REUNION will screen during Toronto's Inside Out Film Festival  May (The fest runs May 14-24).

Then REUNION will be part of the Queer Shorts program at the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, USA co-presented w/ Outfest on Wednesday, May 27th!

And REUNION has also been selected to screen at Frameline33, the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival June 18-28.
