ACT - RAWSTOCK Festival July 24, 2009

Seattle, WA – June 24, 2009 – Hosted by The Central Heating Lab at ACT, the RAWSTOCK Summer Film Festival includes an all-star lineup of independent Seattle filmmaker premieres. David Lowery's evocative and sublime feature film, St.Nick, is a 70-minute tone poem that evokes Malick in its bittersweet chronicle of a runaway brother and sister and their symbiotic relationship. This feature length Seattle premiere is preceded by a program of all new shorts from cutting-edge local filmmakers, including Shawn Telford and Jason Reid. Directors David Lowery, Shawn Telford, and Calvin Reeder will be in attendance for a pre-screening Q&A.

Additional highlights include:

· Shawn Telford’s Safe Passage - A SIFF 2009 Fly Filmmaking triumph of two women and their nightmare ride on the monorail.

· WT Russell’s Special Talents - Four years in the making, this is Russell's most personal film, featuring Justin Freet and Thomas Kneeland reprising their roles as "Justin" and "Tom".

· Tim Marchant’s Tidy Monster - An unseen man quietly goes insane in this minimalist animated tour-de-force from the United Kingdom.

· Carlos Lascano’s Love Story in Stop Motion - From Portugal. This animated masterwork tells of two lifelong lovers and is set to the music of Sigur Ros.

· Calvin Reeder’s Snake Mountain Colada - A bracing, darkly hilarious follow-up to 2008's polarizing Rambler.
