We’re very pleased to announce the World Premiere of Matt Porterfield’s new feature film, Putty Hill, at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival, February 18th, 2010.

And we’ve launched a new website: puttyhillmovie.com.

In Baltimore, we’ve planned an event to celebrate this great news on Monday, February 1st, at the Charles Theatre, 9PM. The evening will be introduced by Maryland Film Festival Programmer Eric Hatch, and selected clips and behind-the-scenes footage (we can’t show the whole film quite yet!) will be shown by Matt Porterfield, followed by a Q&A. There will be an array of generously donated items as rewards for contributions (books, records, gift certificates, video rentals, posters, more!), and all proceeds will go toward finishing the film and getting it ready for the Berlinale. We’ve also started a Kickstarter page online to help us in this effort. Friends, please spread the word and help bring Putty Hill to a theatre near you.

 
Matt Porterfield will be sharing screen tests and new footage of Sky Ferreira and the METAL GODS’ cast at the Maryland Film Festival on Friday, May 8th, from 3:30-4:45.

Scenes were shot on April 26th in and around Raphael Alvarez’ home in Highlandtown on the RED camera. This screening will be part of a panel, hosted by Catherine Batavick and moderated by Kathi Ash, showcasing works-in-progress by three MDFF alum: Matt Porterfield, Ramona Diaz, and Kurt Kolaja. It will take place in the Maryland Film Office panel tent across the street from the Charles Theatre.

We will be holding our next round of auditions for METAL GODS on Saturday, May 2, at the Copycat Building in Baltimore, 11:00AM-4:00PM. The Copycat is located 1511 Guilford Avenue. Auditions will be held on the B-side, 5th Floor. Take the elevator and follow the signs.
