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.
