This is me pimping my new Mission X DVD by filmmaker David Baker out of the U.K. As true indie filmmakers, David and I have a lot of respect for each other’s work and professional drive — so we exchanged our newly released DVDs. I look forward to watching and reviewing Mission X right here. In the interim, go to David’s site and purchase your own personal copy of Mission X, then say hello to David on Twitter.

I’m spastic with excitement about this. It marks my UK premiere, both for this film and for me. Hopefully some friends I’ve met in England via Twitter will be able to see the film.

Screening Date is Sept 5th at 6:45PM. Over 700 films will screen during the festival. All screenings are free.

If you’re in the UK and want to attend the film festival or just want to read up on it you can download the program here. The film is listed on page 3.

The festival begins September 3rd and runs for 16 days. Over 700 films are screened during that time. More can be learned about the PFF at http://www.portobellofilmfestival.com or sign up for the email group by emailing theportobellofilmfestival@yahoo.com.

I’m excited about the PFF because my film The Broken Hearts Club was submitted to the festival and I’m awaiting word of its acceptance –or rejection as it were. This would be the UK premiere of my film. My fingers are crossed.

Summarily, if you happen to be in the UK area, you are invited to the festival’s free launch party. Please see details below:
