Premiering a surf film, Splinters, in Los Angeles, at the Aero Theatre on February 3 @ 7:30pm. The Director is showing up to this premiere for a Q&A as well as the producer…
Briefly, Splinters is a surf documentary which charts the course of the first surfboard left in Papua New Guinea in the 1980s and how it affected the culture of the island.
Here is the trailer. A surf film like no other.
The film won Best Documentary at the 2011 Surfer Poll Awards, and made the rounds at Tribeca & IDFA. It also won Best Documentary at the London Surf Film Festival and is super maverick in comparison to the other surf films out there…
More about the film here.

Monday the 30th, 7pm-10 in West Hollywood at the beautiful Eveleigh. Please please come to this, Los Angeles Tumblr friends!
We’re bartending in the back bar of the gorgeous Eveleigh in LA on Monday. Four tea-based cocktails, two broads, one night only.
We’d really love to see you there. In fact, we’re straight pumped.

Yet another update which should end all of the speculation on what exactly is going on over at one of our favorite local venues, The Music Box. First we reported that the live music venue would be closed temporarily due to some changes in management and even Goldenvoice who handles the majority of their booking issued a statement that read:
“At this time, it is our understanding that the closing of The Music Box is a short term closure, please be patient with us as we work out the details as they pertain to our previously scheduled shows.”
We felt better once we saw that more shows were being booked to take place in the future at The Music Box. Because why would they extend the schedule if they’re closing for good right? But we just received a couple of photos from a reader that went over to purchase tickets to see Cults on March 22nd. The photos are of the actual eviction papers that are currently posted on the front door’s of The Music Box.



As you can see in the photos the Sheriff’s Department are ordering all debtors to vacate the premises no later than January 31st. That’s less than a week away. This looks like to be the nail in the coffin for the current occupants, but this could hopefully mean that a new renter may be coming in. What is going to happen to the 12 upcoming shows on the venues schedule? We will continue to update this post as the information comes in.

On Saturday, February 4th we here at Downtown Lobby are once again joining From the Hip for another edition of our monthly SpaceCommand party at Verdugo Bar (3408 Verdugo Rd Los Angeles 90065). The lineup of DJ’s for this months event include Our Name is Legion, Bass & Gently, myself and a special debut performance by LA beatmaker Silent Individual. We want you and all your friends to come out and to help spread word of our interstellar affair which is heald the first Saturday of every month. So what we’re offering is a chance to win a pair of tickets to some awesome upcoming shows at The Echo.
All you have to do is RSVP “Going” on the Facebook event HERE and leave the rest to us. We will choose and contact winners at random who will then be able to choose which show they want to go to from the list below. This is a 21+ event and early arrival is suggested. There will be another ticket giveaway in the coming week for those attending SpaceCommand so we hope to see you there.

Update on the situation with The Music Box.
AN HONEST PLEA TO SPEND YOUR MONEY
I was an Associate Producer on this movie. Mouncey, my brother, was the Executive Producer on this movie. My sister in law, Elise, was the Director of this movie. We have been working on it in some way, shape, or form for close to three years now. We raised the money to make this movie on our own. We were lucky enough to find a crew that believed in the project and supported the endeavor with vigor and passion. We have managed to navigate the treacherous waters of domestic distribution relatively safely, and have partnered with a fantastic team (Freestyle Releasing) to make the movie as widely available as possible. It has been a long, arduous, and anxiety fueled journey to say the least, but as of January 17th, the film is now in wide release.
Here are some of the reviews which have been honest and mostly complimentary in their appraisal:
“Donner Pass is considerably better than many of its limited-budget brethren … an affection for the old-school practical-gore stalk ‘n’ slice we all know and love … In relation to most of the American “direct-to-video” horror indies that Donner Pass will soon reside next to, it’s actually quite a quiet little winner.”
“Donner Pass is an absolutely startling, thrilling and bloody fun romp … a brisk, nasty, and beautifully shot and crafted horror film.”
“Along with the very beautiful albeit gruesome camera work the movie just has some great production value.”
“Full of unpredictable twists and subplots, this film often left the reviewer thinking: what the hell is going on? This praise is noteworthy.”
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN WATCH/RENT/OWN DONNER PASS:
DVD, Amazon Instant, iTunes, Redbox, Netflix, VOD.
HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH/RENT/OWN DONNER PASS:
- You want to support independent filmmaking.
- You want to support female filmmakers, especially ones that make gory horror movies.
- You want to support my pathetically empty bank account.
- You enjoy watching bratty “teenagers” being eaten alive.
- You’ve been patiently waiting for the perfect genre crossing of slasher x zombies/cannibals.
- We shot on 16mm, on location, and used all in-camera SFX (6 different kinds of blood, pig intestines, etc.)
- John Kassir (The Original Voice of The Crypt Keeper™) is in it.
- You will literally help send my two nieces to college one day.
DO THE RIGHT THING, AMERICA.
