RAINDANCE 2010: THE LAKE EFFECT Trailer

Since the start of my two movie blogs Ive discovered a rich tapestry of fantastic independent , world cinematic movies, discovering there is life outside mainstream cinema and personally at times I prefer it to the big boys. One Film festival which kicked off tonight in London is the Raindance Fillmfest and what I love about this festival is they showcase the great indie movies in and around the UK as well as the world, the give new talent a platform to showcase themselves and they do also give the ordinary person from the street a chance to enjoy some alternative movies too.
One movie which will have its world premiere will be THE LAKE EFFECT, a new movie Coming off its win at the Moondance Film Festival in Colorado, The Lake Effect has a stellar cast including Kay Panabaker (Fame), Ross Partridge (Baghead) and UK-native Tara Summers (Factory Girl). Part of the new crop of DIY filmmakers, director Tara Miele was eight months pregnant while shooting The Lake Effect, a film about parenthood.
Below is the trailer for the movie which will kick off on October 5th and 6th at Apollo cinema London. Also below is some new images as well the movies offical press release too.A big thanks to Jennifer Westin one of the movies Producers who sent me the email containing the info in this post.

Trailer For Icelandic Movie JITTERS (Oroi)

source QuietEarth
Icelandic Teenagers living it large in Manchester with JITTERS (Oroi), not much happens in the trailer which can be seen as a good thing as theres too many movies who have trailers who spoil everything! Sad that the movie looks at teenagers evaluting life, depression, you may cringe but too many people take there lives and this movie sort looks at the devasting effect a suicide has on friends & family.

On a trip to England, Gabriel meets Marcus, a free thinking, rebellious teenager. After returning home, it becomes clear to his family and friends that Gabriel has changed.



A series of unfortunate events causes Gabriel's best friend Stella to take her own life. Devastated by Stella's death, Gabriel falls into a black hole of despair and begins to reevaluate his life, which ultimately forces him to reveal his agonizing secret.
