Karate Kid and The Outsiders Stars at 2016 Denver Comic Con

More cool announcements from Denver Comic Con 2016!:

Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, William Zabka and Martin Kove to Meet 80’s Film Fans at Denver’s Premier Pop Culture Convention

DENVER – January 29, 2016 – Denver Comic Con (DCC), Denver’s largest consumer convention and a program of education-nonprofit Pop Culture Classroom (PCC), today announced Ralph Macchio (“Daniel LaRusso”), William Zabka (“Johnny Lawrence”), and Martin Kove (“John Kreese”), the stars of the 1984 blockbuster The Karate Kid, and C. Thomas Howell (“Ponyboy Curtis”) of 1983’s The Outsiders (which also featured Macho as “Johnny Cade”), will be in attendance to meet and greet fans, sign autographs, take photos and conduct a reunion panel during the June 17 – 19 event at the Colorado Convention Center.

“Who hasn’t tried the crane move? Or quoted the phrase ‘stay gold, Ponyboy’?” asked Christina Angel, Denver Comic Con director. “The Karate Kid and The Outsiders are a landmark films in our pop culture. Having these actors at Denver Comic Con is exciting for an entire generation of fans.”

Denver Comic Con will feature Karate Kid and The Outsiders reunion panels during which the actors will discuss the legacy of the film and field questions from fans.

Additionally, Macchio, Howell, Zabka and Kove will be available the entire weekend to sign autographs and take photos.

Denver Comic Con has quickly become one of the most attended pop culture conventions in America. The popularity is due in part because of its robust schedule of programming—more than 400 hours of sessions during which artists, creators, celebrities and industry experts talk about their craft and their creations—as well as its family-friendly mission and environment. The largest portion of the show floor, more than 9,000 sq. ft., is dedicated to teens and children with activities designed to engage kids in education through pop culture.

The Diary of Anya Frank Selected to Denver 48 Hour “Best Of” Screening

(This teaser was for the Oriental premiere Aug 10th. I’m including it just so you can see some footage. Ignore the screening info and pay attention to the poster below)

Of course I’m going to exploit my podcast to promote the screening of my 2014 48 Hour Film ‘The Diary of Anya Frank”!

August 3rd-5th, I embarked on my 5th 48 Hour Film Project. Back from the previous years were Adam Smith, Robert Tanaka, and Eileen Agosta, but because of all of our JCVDDV filming, we were tepid about participating in this year’s competition. It’s exhausting and we’re not as young as we used to be. Last year we busted our asses making the action comedy Thunderbolt but ultimately crossed the finish line a bit too late (the second time that’s happened). The film turned out really well and audiences enjoyed it, but because it was turned in late, it had NO chance of getting screened at the Esquire for the “Best Of” screening.

Thus, my number one priority as team leader this year was: TURN IT IN ON TIME, no matter how polished it was. Impressively, this year, we turned “The Diary of Anya Frank”, early, and in solid condition, and I actually slept twice throughout the weekend! Big thanks are deserved for my teammates Adam Smith, Eileen Agosta, Jami Haber, Kendra Buck, Nathan Westlake, and Robert Tanaka for making the weekend easy.

Last week I was informed that our film was one of 14 films from the 54 competing this year that was selected to screen September 18th, 7pm, at the Esquire Theater. Although our only goal each year is to make something cool with cool people, it’s also nice for those involved to feel some outside validation for donating their time and energy over an exhausting three day weekend. Not only is our film in the running for “Best Film”, but other awards are handed out on this night for things like “Best Actor/Actress”, “Best Writing”, “Best Use Of…”, etc., and it would be exciting to see anyone from our crew go home with one.

Of course, there are 13 other amazing films (they’re still choosing a 15th) in contention next Thursday that demand your attention and this why should get your tickets to the screening as soon as you can. THIS EVENT SELLS OUT! I highly encourage you to attend and support the films and purchase tickets well in advance.

You can purchase tickets online here: http://tickets.landmarktheatres.com/%28S%28f5xplgbkmjwoqdvdfopk1kvv%29%29/Ticketing.aspx?TheatreID=228&MovieID=14064&ShowDate=9%2F18%2F2014&ScheduleID=31052

Mt. Molehill IndieGoGo Campaign

On this week’s episode (Ep. 152: Nerdzilla) , we were joined by producer Alexander Rhodes-Wilmere, writer/director Jesse Stewart, and actor Aaron Lade to promote their upcoming film “Mt. Molehill“. They’re reaching out to the community for funds to help them finish the film which centers around a little asian girl who fights a bear. Yes, there is a real bear in their film. And if they don’t get enough of your donations, they’ll have to shut down the film and feed her to it! So spare her life and help them complete “Mt. Molehill”!

Watch the funny campaign pitch above and go to https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mt-molehill for a list of perks that include donations to the Denver Children’s Home.
