The newest movie from filmmaker Joe Swanberg is one of the most realistic I have ever seen. It was completely improved (the script was a drawing), the films cast was made up of other filmmakers, and the entire film was shot in less than a month. The film is basically about a girl who does not know what she wants in a relationship so she bounces around from guy to guy in her small circle of friends. Her break up with her first boyfriend was nearly exactly how the break up with my last girlfriend went and left me despising her for the rest of the movie. It was touching, and funny and um… other good things. Joe’s Q and A after the movie was pretty amazing too. The film was made in such a different way from the way you would expect movies to be done. He would edit at night and the next day they would watch what he had and then create a new scene that day. In NYC you can see for the next week at the IFC, if not you can watch it on IFC On Demand if you have cable. I would watch it at once. Yup. I’m going to see another one of Joe’s films Kissing On The Mouth tonight. I have seen it before and it is outstanding as well. Here is a clip of one of the more disturbing scenes in the film. Viewers be warned…

I hosted my first party and I think it was a success. I brought the entire cast and crew and friends of Hanna Takes The Stairs (review coming tomorrow) and gave them free booze and a back room for themselves. They were happy I think. It was the first time I have seen the back of High Voltage have a dance party (also the last as they are moving to 200 Orchard next week). Anyway, the movie was sweet, the party was great and I may or may not have gone home with two girls, but that’s just between me, them, and my camera. So Shhh…. Oh by the way, I took all these photos with a broken point and shoot digital camera my dad gave to me. I couldn’t really work it or aim properly. So these photos really suck, they suck so much that I did not put my logo on them out of embarrassment. I also put them up on my former lover, 476ad.com instead of my site. Yup Yup. Check em. (Below is Kevin Bewersdorf and Joe Swanberg the entire crew of Hanna Takes The Stairs)

So my friend Joe Swanberg is in town tonight and his movie is playing at the IFC.  It is called Hannah Take The Stairs.  I think you should go see it, if not tonight at 8, some time later when it is playing.  I am going at 8, then to the after party, then to High Voltage where I am hosting and will have free drinks for you hopefully.  It is going to be fun, and Joe will be there.  It is at Sutra on 1st and 1st and it is free and there is an open bar at 11 until they run out.  Sweet.  Lastly, I am showing my apartment tomorrow, so if you want to move in with me and you have 1025 a month, hit me up.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf0ksFCaeI8&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eifccenter%2Ecom%2Ffilm%3Ffilmid%3D58422[/youtube]
