Our good friends, collaborators, and kindred spirits at the Aurora Picture Show are getting a permanent home in Houston. We’re jealous, but they need your help!

Our friends at Filmwax are hosting a brand new screening series, Movie Night at Franklin Park, beginning this Monday May 21st.

Robert Greene is yapping away again. When will this guy shut up? Even if he is promoting Fake It So Real, a fantastic documentary about some really gutsy and interesting independent wrestling, does he need to embarrass himself like this?

Peruse the Rooftop Films 2012 Summer Series Schedule

Long time Rooftop alumni Stephen Collins’ latest film will have its New York premiere at reRun Gastropub Theater! Steve will be there in person to talk about this darkly comic, off-kilter film.

Award-winning filmmaker Bryan Wizemann’s feature plays Rooftop’s Opening Weekend on May 12. Bryan talked with us about his inspiration for the film, his festival success, and working with Lauren Ambrose.

Jessica contributed to the Rooftop project Orbit(film),” and her next project brings us back down to the outer fringes of Earth. Jessica spent a year in Finland with the Aatsinki family, but she needs your help bringing their story to the screen!

Rooftop is proud to co-present two screenings at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, Andrew Semans’ “Nancy, Please,” and Michael Palmieri & Donal Mosher’s “Off Label.” And don’t miss the other great Rooftop Alums at this year’s fest.

Though your thoughts may be filled with Friday and the weekend, be sure to free up your evenings next week for a chance to see Rooftop Alum Don Hertzfeldt’s award winning animated trilogy, in its entirety for the first time!

We know that there are a ton of film events this season, most notably SXSW fever, which has many of our friends skipping town for sunny Austin, TX. For those of us who didn’t get on a plane last week, there are still some great events right here in the city (and at a much lower cost!)
