This Sunday evening, Rooftop will be co-presenting a special FREE closing night outdoor screening of Jarred Alterman’s magical documentary at the exquisitely beautiful Cellardoor Winery in Maine.

Everyone keeps using “wheelhouse”. I’m still a little confused what it means, but it certainly sounds cool and adult.

Our picks for the three films that will get you through this soggy first weekend of fall.

Hi. My name is Gillian Robespierre. I’m a writer/director attending the 2011 IFP Emerging Narrative project forum with my script Obvious Child. It’s a romantic comedy with an abortion. Yes, it’s a comedy.

Rotterdam International film festival: “I am confused why your project is part of Emerging Narrative”
Me: ” Its Interesting you chose to meet with me then”
Rotterdam: “I didnt”

Doesn’t everyone?

…but are trying to go in a more socially conscious direction.

A hearty congratulations to the recipients of our 2011 Filmmakers’ Fund Grants, presented in partnership with Edgeworx Studios, Eastern Effects, and the Adrienne Shelly Foundation.

We’ve had some really nice interest in the project. It sounds nice now, but that might change later on when they say, “You know what? It’s not for us.” I like to keep expectations low. That way you don’t get your hopes up. And that way they can’t come crashing down.
