Detroit, MI – A werewolf short is headlining the April 6th Mitten Movie Project! The April MMP features “Coyote,” the latest by Grand Rapids filmmaker, Joel Potrykus, whose previous short, “Gordon,” headlined the 2008 Mitten Movie Project Zombie Night. Also on the bill is the Twilight Zone-esque short, “The Bungled and the Botched,” and the experimental piece, “Last Train Home,” a short by local producer, Aaron Karns. The April Mitten Movie Project takes place on Tuesday, April 6th at 7:30 p.m. at the Main Art Theatre (118 N. Main Street, Royal Oak 48067). For presale tickets and more information, go to facebook.com/mittenmovieproject
“Coyote” showcases a lonely and down on his luck guy who turns to drugs to suppress his werewolf tendencies. This short was shot on Super 8 film, a special treat for the Mitten Movie Project as most shorts screened are shot digitally.
The MMP is accepting submissions for the 8/3 MMP Future Filmmakers Night, a night to celebrate and encourage the future filmmakers of Michigan. The MMP FFN will showcase local shorts 15 minutes or less by high school students, middle school students, those in youth groups with film programs or shorts made when the filmmaker was age 18 or less. Submission is free. All accepted filmmakers will receive a swag bag with filmmaking supplies and an info and resource guide for the independent filmmaker (put together by MMP Curator, Connie Mangilin). The 8/3 MMP FFN audience choice award winner will also receive a terabyte external hard drive.
In other news, the winner of the March 2010 Mitten Movie Project Audience Choice Award was “The Window,” the latest short by Tom Gurisko which is a play on scary monster childhood fears. Second and third place winners were “Rock the Paper with Scissors,” the short chronicling the comeback of a rock-paper-scissors champion, and “Thief, Interrupted,” a story of a thief who is interrupted by phone calls from his dysfunctional family during a heist. “The Window,” “Rock the Paper with Scissors,” and “Falconry: The Ancient Craft” will air on the Mitten Movie Show on Comcast 18/Wow 52 from April 7th to May 1st on Wednesdays at 11 p.m. and Saturdays at midnight in Auburn Hills, Berkley, Clawson, Ferndale, Huntington Woods, Oakland Township, Pleasant Ridge, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, and Troy to reach over 140,000 households.
The Mitten Movie Project would like to thank the 100 moviegoers that came to the March 2nd Mitten Movie Project, and those that follow the Mitten Movie Project on Facebook. The MMP would also like to thank M1 Studios in Royal Oak (www.m-1studios.com) for its DVD authoring services.
