Announcing K-TOWN P.I.

Among the half-dozen or so projects that Velvet Candy has in the pipeline, K-TOWN P.I. is one of the most unique and buzzworthy.

A film noir homage set in L.A.'s Koreatown with an (almost) all Asian cast and a sharp, funny script by the talented Erin Quill. K-TOWN P.I. will be directed by Chil Kong (SCREENING PARTY, THE MIKADO PROJECT), produced by John Carrozza (SOCKET, SCREENING PARTY, REUNION, THE MIKADO PROJECT, THE DEFENDERS) with a projected Autumn 2009 start date. Keep your eyes tuned to this blog for exciting news about this and other Velvet Candy productions.

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.
