DETOURS Nominated for Best Feature Film

It was a great follow-up to last Saturday's screening of DETOURS at the Long Island International Film Expo to learn that DETOURS was nominated for the Best Feature Film award. We didn't win, but it truly IS an honor just to nominated.

Next up is our screening at the Strand Theatre in Lakewood, NJ on Sunday September 18 at 7 PM. More on that next time!

Great DETOURS Screening at LIIFE 2016

Director Rob McCaskill & Star Carlo Fiorletta

We had a terrific screening of DETOURS on Saturday night at the Long Island International Film Expo (aka LIIFE) at Bellmore Movies in Bellmore, LI. I was joined by Rob McCaskill and star Carlo Fiorletta, along with supporting actors Peter Graham, Marguerite Stimpson, and Celia Schaefer. The audience reception was terrific, and many stayed for a spirited q&a session, even though is was well after 11 PM.

Next up is a week-long run at the Sutter Creek Theatre in Sutter Creek, CA starting July 22, and a special one night only screening at the Strand Theater in Lakewood, NJ on September 18 (tickets are on sale now!). We shot a beautiful scene at the Strand, and many other scenes in and around Ocean County, NJ and are very excited to return.

Carlo Fiorletta & Deirdre O'Connell in DETOURS

I recently needed to put together a short video of Carlo Fiorletta's best scenes from DETOURS, and decided to share it here as well.  The first scene features the wonderful Deirdre O'Connell ; she is best known as a theater actress in NYC, and can be seen in Showtime's series "The Affair."  The second scene - truly one of my favorites -  is with the terrific Tara Westwood, who plays Carlo's daughter in the movie. 

You can see DETOURS on Saturday night July 16 at the Long Island Film Expo in Bellmore, Long Island and on Sunday September 18 at The Strand theater in Lakewood NJ. More screening dates coming (very!) soon.

DETOURS next screening: Sat July 16 at the Long Island Int'l Film Expo

The screening will be followed by a q&a with stars Tara Westwood and Carlo Fiorletta, shown at left in a scene from the movie.
