Memphis Bound and Gagged East Coast Premiere USA - 80 minutes. Monday, July 23 at 9:30 pm Written, directed and produced by Tamar Halpern. A delightful new comedy by newcomer Halpern, Memphis Bound…and Gagged is the consummate guide on how NOT to make a low budget, independent film! The filmmaker in Halpern’s film is a naïve film school flunkie starting her third unfinished documentary - a road trip to Graceland to document her subject’s radical Elvis obsession. Joined by her family, a novice cinematographer and a paranoid, sycophantic hitchhiker, the journey soon degenerates into a comedy of errors. When the filmmaker learns of an upcoming film festival deadline, she turns to an academy award editor for help who uses footage that should have stayed on the cutting room floor to transform her into the unwitting star of her own disastrous movie! Preceded by the short film Drink Long Island Premiere USA - 5 minutes. Written, directed, produced and animated by Patrick Smith. A young boy experiences a series of abstract transformations after drinking a mysterious green liquid.
