BEST OF FEST
An Evening of Independent Film
Presented by Indie Express
At The Victory Theatre Center
Indie Express has teamed up with The Victory Theatre Center, an intimate non-profit theatre company who has been developing new plays, producing world premieres and West Coast premieres of emerging talent for 27 years. We felt it was a good match as it is our goal to explore the breadth of talent in filmmaking, with a special focus on the truly independent filmmaker. We've been in talks with several filmmakers to create a screening series to showcase their films, hence the birth of Best of Fest.

Written by Joe Tyler Gold
Directed by CJ Prouty
The curse of Macbeth... It brings fire! Death! Boring first dates! When Danny, a science teacher, brings the curse upon his ex-girlfriend's play, he must battle new-age superstitious actors and a crazed director to win her back.
Danny shows up at auditions for Macbeth to get his girlfriend back. But the director mistakes his story of love for a passionate acting monologue, and casts him as Witch #1. Danny struggles with rehearsals, and incurs the wrath of the cast when he breaks the cardinal rule of acting by saying "Macbeth" in the theatre.
Danny teams up with a new-age actress, a tough self-help guru, and a sci-fi obsessed stage manager to save the actors and his ex-girlfriend from the curse of Macbeth. |

In '69, 14-year-old Beatle fanatic, Jerry Levitan, snuck into Lennon's hotel room and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin wove a visual narrative, marrying pen sketches by James Braithwaite with digital illustration by Alex Kurina.
