good evening and welcome to another edition of a fist hill full of popcorn i'm janet stern i'm moderating this segment tonight very very lucky to have two guests tonight who both worked on a film that is going to be showing in princeton the premier i believe i like to introduce the writer director and editor of the film brad mays and another producer and editor barbara curtis both behind the scenes but going to be march seventeenth thursday evening st patrick's day i believe which is interesting yeah that'll be the absolute the actual world premiere it's going to show in prince and then the following week it's going to be playing in new york on the twenty fifth oh so yes and the tickets are they normal garden theater tickets no not exactly it's sort of a special event and there is a perception and so on but you can get tickets by going to w road rage one word dash the movie one word dot com so you know that that's basically how that's possible in ticket yeah ok so there you go yeah go to road rage the movie dot com ok very good and so the movie is called little bit about the what happens when well yeah him briefly with the premises is a matt lipton man in his early sixty's has lost his wife to cancer and this is something i went through five years  ago he's lost his wife and he doesn't deal with the loss particularly well he has a series of flings and winds up getting drunk and going to a party a christmas party in princeton and meeting a woman he's very physically attracted to and she's in her fort and he decides that she's going to be is next wife even though there's no real reason to think this it's immaturity on his part it's wishful thinking on his part for a lot of reasons the two of them just sort of come together and without going  any huge detail what winds up happening is they go on a road trip into the deep south hoping that they will bond over this experience well the deep south doesn't like them they don't really particularly fit into the deep south and the road rage described in the title is actually between the two of them in the car they really learn how to hate each other and then they have to deal with them selves when they get back both of them have a lot of growing and evolving to do and he especially have and this movie starts off in princeton yes you made a documentary which many many of us saw called i grew up in princeton yes and i was just wondering whether there's a line in one of the trailers i saw i have to say we haven't been able to see the film yet but i did look at many of the trailers where somebody says is it to us and taisha is the other character says everybody this is princeton very dense dialogue the guy can quote shakespeare in and moliere indifferently all right i mean he's really an egghead he's got the emotional maturity of a nine year old sugar addicted boy but the guy has a lot of stuff in his head this path ology is a kind of pathology that exists here and this is this i mean i'm not saying that the only kind of people that live here are people like him but there are a lot of them a lot of them you know i mean you know thinking that you're the smartest person in the room is a dangerous game if you live in princeton well this guy considers himself to be the champion of champions in that game so that's he fits right in here and of course she has aspirations of being a you know a rich princeton wife and she's always looking for guys a little older than her who she might be able to bag a new track so really really kind of questionable pairing here but yeah it's the path ology of the whole situation i'm really glad t e screenplay when he was writing it he would send me bits of it by email and i would eagerly wait each each night for the new and there was one part where there were a bunch of women sitting around having a conversation and they sounded like horrible people and i remember writing him back said there's nobody likable in this entire scene there's not a single likable women woman in the entire scene and i later went to what they call the table reading which is the first read through with the actors and these incredible actor says read those lines and i had to pick my jaw from off the ground because it's just so beautifully done so i didn't have i did have a problem with that but he was right another thing i have to mention too there's another there are scenes in this movie that were written by brad which are so deeply feminine there's a scene when the main character has just had paschal sex with a neighbor and he's being horrible to her and she's being so nurturing and so kind and so gentle to him and that's the way women so often are even when he's being a real creep but she's feeling for him this will last this wife and she's trying to be what's written prince and as a character well i've done two films that deal with prince and i think i've gotten prince and out of my system and ok all right that was going to be but i've stayed i've stayed so but the the other thing about that is you've been an outsider as an insider yet so you have some insight into what other people outside think of princeton sure and it's probably skewed am i right i mean they've got a concept about it that isn't the real prince that we know one live in well there are many princeton yeah that's what i learned making i grew up in princeton you know there were sixty people who were interviewed met movie sixty and there are sixty princeton's represented in those interviews that's what i learned yeah you know it's a town that is very documentary and i'm sure i don't really know it now but how can we ever really know anything completely but but yeah you know i one of my favorite rock bands is the band and their song writer robbie robertson canadian he fell in love with the south he wrote the night they drove all dixie down now he goes so deeply into the psychology of that war from the southern point of view and here he is a canadian that distance i think a view of the self in a view of the plight of the civil war in a way that the southerner really could not do and i think in the same way that i'm not really a princeton native but i certainly became who i am now for good or ill in this town it gives me a certain perspective a certain distance and i think i used to pretty well in both films if i may say so we only have a minute left i just want to ask you quickly i noticed i really really love the soundtracks of the trailers do you today it's very effective and the music is fused together with the visuals in a way that is at times astounding a right well i am sorry that we have such a short time because i would love to hear take a short break and the film premieres at the garden on march seventeenth tickets are available online at road rage the movie dot com welcome back to a fistful of popcorn for this segment of the show posting carol welsh my name is carol welsh and with me is marilyn campbell and we're so pleased to have with us tonight two of our very good friends from the trenton film society evelyn too and susan and fu and they're going to be talking about their upcoming two thousand and sixteen trend film festival and  evelyn would you like to introduce your trailer for the festival sure thing so what we're about to see is a two minute trailer for the film festival and it gives you a flavor of the fifty five films that we've emitted into the festival including some local interest films so narrative features some animated shorts and some documentaries and i think you'll enjoy  ok and as we've just seen could you just reiterate the schedule for the festival the dates and the location for the dates are wednesday march thirtieth through sunday third so it's a five parking at the art works parking lot which is right across the street from the d m v you can't miss the things so people can park there all day long which is great because there are we're showing films all day long saturday and sunday and in the evenings when there's a right excellent and i hear you have a special access pass that is a great deal can you tell us about that yes so for twenty five dollars you can buy an all access pass and so that will let you get that mission from one person to every single program fassel so there are fourteen different programs altogether fifty  five some of these are feature films are insured some are programs of short films and you can really pick and choose and come to whatever you like as long as you know you come before the show starts  eleven thirty so we're having he'll be there the other to talk about the film another film that's playing in that part of the same program called monsters and animals just different film is called the lost city another from monster in animals fantastically shot and it's in black and white and also one of my favorites is a drag queen for children and that sad shot until it out so hopefully will be able to get somebody representing that film here as well but it's really a sweet little  who's fantastic we all looked through every single film again to make sure that it was something that people could really get something valuable from and because also jurors don't tend to agree all the time and s are there are there any of the program i notice that each program is about ninety minutes long that you try to weave through short films you try to get enough short films are there any of these programs that would be suitable to bring children to have we're showing a series of these with these characters animated shores and this is actually his first feature length isn't playing at festivals and said that is screening with the drag queen for kids that no one talked about which which is a particularly have to my i guess since i am very interested documentary film i thought the film about the danish fellow who adopted a grave of a soldier from over two and just i feel like not only does it bring forward to today the mentality the sacrifices that any kind of soldier does for our freedom but it also i think makes us more aware of the silent generation who you know may not be around as much anymore and that we can appreciate what they gave also not just the people who are around with us today and so i think people who have any ties to military service would get a lot out of this movie  a the main character is just zaveri funny guy claims to be a pizza delivery guy but he's trying to do better and find a better job and you you know pointed way but but but you know and her taining humorous way i know i was in church last year for the narrative shorts and they were about twelve i really liked the night but i had to pick one it was fifty five and you know you can take your pick when the past come to as much as you want to excellent evelyn and susan thank you so much for joining us tonight and thank you for joining us and we hope you will join us again for another
