West Coast Premiere
U.S. 2005 84 min.
directed by Hans Canosa
produced by Ram Bergman, Bill McCutchen, Mark R. Harris & Kerry
written by Gabrielle Zevin
starring Helena Bonham-Carter, Aaron Eckhart

Conversations with Other Women chronicles an evening in which Aaron Eckhart (the brother of the bride) and Helena Bonham Carter (a "substitute bridesmaid") meet at a wedding, talk, flirt and spend the night together. Told in split-screen to accentuate the spaces between two people, this meditation on relationships cleverly contemplates the passage of time and the lasting ripple effect of certain decisions. Tour de force performances by the two leads--on-screen virtually the entire film--distinguish this groundbreaking film.

U.S. 2005 96 min.
directed by Christopher Jaymes
produced by Christopher Jaymes
written by Christopher Jaymes
starring Jeremy Sisto, Judy Greer, Matt Keeslar, Christopher Jaymes, Monet Mazur, Pat Healy, Eric Michael Cole

Set in a Hollywood Hills mansion once owned by Samuel Goldwyn, In Memory of My Father begins with Christopher (Christopher Jaymes), the youngest son of a dying movie mogul, chronicling his father’s death and wake--at the ego-centric old man’s behest. A stellar cast, all using their real first names, deliver darkly comic performances, from Jeremy (Jeremy Sisto), as the aloof middle brother; to Monet (Monet Mazur) as his unfaithful wife; to eldest brother Matt (Matt Keeslar), a walking contradiction of sweetness and selfishness; and Judy (Judy Greer), Dad’s much younger mistress.
