Paint It Black the Movie to Premiere

I can finally say it out loud--Paint it Black the Movie will have its world premiere at Film Independent's Los Angeles Film Festival. Individual tickets go on sale on May 10.

It's a mind-blowing thing, to see your characters and your story--something that lived in your head alone for so many years, and then in the minds of your readers who recreate or reconstitute it as they see fit, a journey as personal as a fingerprint--now embodied, translated, filtered through another artist's vision and offered up to a broad audience, a thing in itself, related but not mere replication. What a privilege, that Tamblyn was inspired enough to pull this whole thing off. She's going to be a director to watch, I can promise you that.

I can't wait to see what you think of Paint It Black the Movie! I hope you can hit the LA Film Festival, it's scheduled for June 3, 7:30 p.m--and that it comes soon to a theater near you!

Beth I'm actually incredibly excited to hear this book has been made into a movie!! I loved the book! I guess I'll be re-reading it in the near future. Oh, and I love Amber Tamblyn! Is this her directing debut?


message 2: by Janet (new)

Janet Yes, it is! She also wrote the screenplay--co-wrote, with a collaborator. I think we're going to see more of her as a director, she's wonderful.

Jessica Bliss I am no longer in LA so I can't wait to see it in Theatres!! I loved the book and I bet the movie is awesome. I really really want to see it soon.

Michele  Rios Petrelli Will this be shown in other theaters as well? I live in Colorado, read the book when it first came out and have been waiting patiently for the movie to come out?


message 5: by Janet (new)

Janet I hope so! With any luck the film will get a distributor at the LA Film Festival, and it will come to theaters around the country!
