35 YEAR OLD MAN - 2012 - Directed by Amir Motlagh
35 YEAR OLD MAN plays at IFF
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.
KAYLA, the new MIRS single + video.
For a limited time, you can grab the new MIRS single Kayla for free at Bandcamp, Soundcloud, and some other places before Itunes, Amazon, Spotify and torrents take over.
Also, a video comes along. You can watch the unicolor, hifi video at Youtube, Dailymotion, or Vimeo.

Yahoo Movies follow up at The Madlab Post
This is the follow up to the Yahoo Movies interview a couple days ago, over at The MADLAB Post.
Yahoo Movies Profile on "35 Year Old Man"
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."

Upcoming Screenings for 35 YEAR OLD MAN.
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.
