OF ALL THE THINGS: BIG IN THE PHILIPPINES AND NEW YORK CITY

• by Raphaela Neihausen, October 15, 2008

STF had a sold out crowd on Tuesday for OF ALL THE THINGS, the sweet and funny story of songwriter Dennis Lambert making a comeback tour in the Philippines. The night was co-presented by the SXSW film festival which gave the film its world premiere in March. SXSW’s new programmer Janet Pierson flew up from Austin to introduce the film. In recent months, OF ALL THE THINGS has been collecting Audience Awards at other fests including Nantucket, Sarasota and Palm Beach. The sales agent Josh Braun is still working to close a distribution deal in a market of cautious buyers. Judging from the STF audience, the film should enjoy a long future of enthusiastic viewers.  For more information, visit the official website.

After the show, the STF gang headed over to La Lanterna for food and drinks. Here are some pictures from the night:

3) Emily Hubley, director of THE TOE TACTIC - it’s not a documentary, but we let her join the club for her animation in EVERYTHING’S COOL, shown at STF in Spring 07. She showed up at La Lanterna for the post-show gathering.
