Get to theaters this weekend, Spring is in the air!

Okay New Yorkers, Texans, Floridians, Michiganites, Shaker Hts and Columbus Ohio natives--this is one of your last chances to get out there and see the movie on the big screen. Spring is the air, it's time to get out of hibernation and get out there and see a movie that makes you laugh and cry and makes you feel really good when you walk out of the theater. Am I biased? Yes, definitely. However, I will tell you I get emails everyday from people who tell how much this movie affected them and how much they enjoyed it and only wished there were more movies like it out there. It's a date movie, a gal pal movie, a parents movie--it's for anyone who wants their spirit to be lifted. If you live in New York City like me--you can absolutely use some spirit lifting because it's a blizzard here today. Get into the theater, get warm and walk out with a smile on your face. Someone asked me today what are five words you would use to describe the movie? My answer: Empowerment, Courage, Joy, Self-Worth & Dance.

Gray Matters Does Dallas!

On March 7th, my husband Christophe Guillemot and I attended yet another fabulous "Gray Matters" premiere. Ann and David Sutherland hosted the most fabulous cocktail party for their most fabulous designer clientele in honor of "Gray Matters" opening in Texas. The setting was at The Dallas Angelica Film Center which is a lovely state-of-the-art film complex. Champagne was flowing, red carpets abounding, paparazzi fluttering and my favorite touch; 1940's inspired "hot box girls" with fishnet covered gams that reached the heavens. With a grin, a curtsy and a smile the gals handed out popcorn and candy as they pranced up and down the aisles.  Ahhhhhh, the good old days. Why can't a movie going experience always be like that? Going to a movie used to be like going to the theater. I wish we could resurrect the elegance of those days. Dallas locals laughed, cried, and cheered for the movie and its message. It was the last of our American parties and premieres and it was a perfect bookend to my Gray Matters "coming out" season. 

From Writer to Director

I have written an in-depth article for MOVING PICTURES MAGAZINE this month about the journey of going from being a screenwriter to becoming a writer/director/producer. It is on newsstands now. Laura Dern is on the cover and the magazine is filled with great articles. It's one of the first intellectual movie magazines I have come across. Elliot Kotek is the editor-in-chief and I applaud him for his brave efforts in getting this magazine jump started. If you love film and want an insiders point of view, this is a magazine worth buying.

I love New York

I know it's cliche but I really do love New York and New Yorkers! Last night as I drove across the Brooklyn Bridge to do an introduction of the film at the Village 7 cinemas, I looked at the glistening skyline in front of me and couldn't help getting that feeling I always have of--"This is such a gorgeous, incredible, awe inspiring city!" I made Gray Matters as a love letter to this city. I realize the film is a vision of New York seen through rose colored glasses but when I look at the skyline or the Farmers Market in Union Square or Raouls in Soho or the magnificent Brooklyn Bridge, I could go on and on... my glasses are always rosy.  This city is where I live and draw inspiration from each and every day.  I will be back this coming Saturday night, March 10th, at the Village 7 Cinemas to introduce the film to my home town audience. We had a great crowd there this past weekend and I look forward to meeting more of you.
