Side Man available on Amazon

side man,latw,radio theatre,garret dillahuntRemember the staged recording of Side Man Garret did last spring for L.A. Theatre Works?

Well, it is available on Amazon. As it turns out, it’s been out since November, but for some reason I expected it to show up as a download on Audible, not an audio book on Amazon, so I didn’t discover it there sooner. Anyway, here is the link: Side Man (Library Edition Audio CDs) (L.A. Theatre Works Audio Theatre Collections).

And the description:

A Tony Award winner for Best Play, Side Man delves deep into the postwar New York jazz underground through the life of a celebrated musician and his dysfunctional family. Warren Leight used his own experiences as the son of a jazz musician to create Gene, a talented but emotionally incompetent trumpeter whose pure devotion to music comes at the expense of his relationship with resentful wife Terry and their self-sacrificing son, Clifford. A L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance starring Frank Wood as Gene, Garret Dillahunt as Clifford, Christine Lahti as Terry, Kyle Colerider-Krugh as Ziggy, Kevin Geer as Jonesy, Joseph Lyle Taylor as Al, Stephanie Zimbalist as Patsy, and live sound effects by Tony Palermo.

And yeah, if you’re still mourning Lights Out, it’s the same Warren Leight.

New screening for Oliver Sherman: Titanic Film Festival (Budapest)

Oliver Sherman will be shown at the Titanic Film Festival in Budapest this month (April 8 & 16). More details at TitanicFilmFest.hu.

The film also has a distribution deal in Hungary and France under the new Eye On Films initiative. Eye on Films is a “unique, global network of film professionals, which guarantees the circulation of a selection of first feature films in festivals partners in Europe and third countries, and the commercial exploitation of these films by distribution partners in Europe and third countries.”

Not sure if this means more festival screenings or theatrical release, or both, but for now there is a list of Eye on Films’ distribution and festival partners on the EoF site. They’re probably the ones who are the most likely to “circulate” and “commercially exploit” the film in Europe and elsewhere.
