Rockin’ the Roger M. Mayer Award

Tonight, the 1st annual DOWNTOWN FILM FESTIVAL in LOS ANGELES closed down a city block and announced the short film awards. And I FUCKING HATE YOU was the winner of the PROGRAM DIRECTOR’S PRIZE! And that is too cool. We are very, very happy to be recognized by such a respected individual!

Downtown Film Festival Los Angeles

Crawled out of bed this morning afternoon, jumped in the car with Jamie, picked up John T. Woods at his place and headed downtown for the first annual DFFLA. And this festival, from the same people who bring you the Silverlake Film Festival, absolutely rocks. I met Roger M. Mayer who is the festival programmer and I was reminded of something Marion Kerr said to me in Big Sur – that this film keeps leading us to kindred spirits. And Roger is definitely that. He compared us to the filmmakers that made Raising Victor Vargas and Half Nelson. Not bad company by any means.


It was so great to be part of something so unique, especially for LA. The Q&A after IFHY and the rest of the shorts that played were awesome. Afterward, we got interviewed (by Alex from Russia), signed some programs and had lunch with a team of young filmmakers we met at the fest. Looking forward to attending the short film awards ceremony tomorrow.

Below are some photos taken by the film’s rockstar co-producer, Jamie Cobb.
