Just got back from a short trip to SF to catch 35 YEAR OLD MAN screening at the 5th annual Iranian Film Festival. I did miss my screening as usual, but catch the tail end of the program. I meet Saeed Shafa, the festival director (he also runs a few other festivals), whom was a very cordial and nice man, from my brief estimation. This has become a very literal update. And, here is an obligatory picture from the Bay Area.
A nice picture, with a nice filter.

This is the follow up to the Yahoo Movies interview a couple days ago, over at The MADLAB Post.
From Yahoo Movies -
"The 12th Annual deadCenter Film Festival boasts a list of short film programs that each explore little slices of life audiences are usually afraid to talk about: loneliness, aging, and disappointment. Director Amir Motlagh captured a glimpse of all of these experiences through the eyes of the sole character in his narrative short "35 Year Old Man." The film is about a guy named Greg whose birthday just passed and, as the synopsis explains, "Yesterday, he bought a toaster and cleaned the fridge."

Our next screening is here:
We screen 35 YEAR OLD MAN at the Sene Film Festival in Rhode Island tomorrow at 9PM, followed by a screening at the 12th annual deadCenter Film Festival in June. Two additional screening dates are TBA shortly.
Was forwarded this link the other day, which is about a month old. In it, Sam Proof (who plays Raz on Tim and Eric) curates a page called "The Funny Pages" on a website called Craveonline which features 35 YEAR OLD MAN.
I must admit that I've never been on such a website. From Raz (Sam Proof) in regards to the aforementioned film :
"This is a bit reality, a bit dark comedy. But there’s something magical and scarier about the humor in it. This may NOT be the feel good way to start your day, but I think it’s definitely worth watching."
This is my Tim and Eric connection.

So, is this how film criticism, press and pull quotes work nowadays?
Just wrapped my part in a video collab with character designer/animator Ali Sabet. Some fun shit. Looking for a late Spring release.
You can catch 35 YEAR OLD MAN playing at the Sene Film Festival on Wed April 11th, 2012, in Rhode Island.
Bit of good news, the nice folks at Dailymotion threw our little project on the front page with a Staff Pick stamp of approval.
Valentines Day 2012, a day to spend with your beloved. But for the rest of us, I can help. Give me 5 minutes. 35 YEAR OLD premieres tomorrow on this site by way of Vimeo.
Rejoice you lovers of the internal!
