Williamsburg Independent Film Festival

Stormchaser
Director-Gretl Claggett
All Bonnie Blue ever wanted was to chase tornadoes with her Dad. But dreams die with time. Now, she’s become a different kind of storm chaser — hawking storm-doors “door-to-door” for her charismatic boss, Flip Smyth: a cult-like father figure to Bonnie and his tribe of young sales bucks. In the guise of “tough love,” Flip relishes publicly shaming Bonnie and his token minority assistant, Don Stuckey, her sole ally.
Screening Friday, November 22nd at 6:45pm.

Aspiring actress Braden Turner awakens, bruised and broken, to find herself facing interrogation after a violent incident she can barely recall. Not everything is what it seems in this psychological thriller with an unsettling twist.
Screening Friday, November 22nd at 8:45pm as part of our Thriller block of films.

Atandwa Kani is joining the Season 1 Cast of Chronicles of a Bleep Year Old Woman. You might know him for his role as Young T’Chaka in the 3rd highest-grossing film of all time #blackpanther

Atandwa is talented, kind and downright hilarious. We’re honored that The Prince from #wakanda would so graciously collaborate with a Colonizer. 😂 Stay tuned for more exciting announcements in the days ahead.

A few days late to the #femalefilmmakerfriday party... but we’re happy to celebrate Female Filmmakers ANY day of the week at Palikari Pictures. We’re about to have some fun creating the season of #BLEEP!
•••
#repost Chronicles of a BLEEP Year Old Woman・・・
“These are days of radical reinvention.... and I’m no stranger to that.” - Gretl Claggett

With great joy on #femalefilmmakerfriday we introduce the next woman joining the #bleepyearold table: our exceptionally talented director, Gretl Claggett

Gretl is a writer and director committed to creating singular stories that reflect current dilemmas - but are timeless. Stories that entertain and catalyze conversations that can transform cultures. And, well, that’s all just so very BLEEP. We are so fortunate to have her on board to take the good work we began and carry it forward. Hold on to your britches, everyone. This thing’s about to get LIT.

StormChaser is an #OfficialSelection of Catalyst Stories - Content Festival. See you in two weeks, Duluth! STORMCHASER is a satire of our socio-political system —a darkly funny dramedy with a dash of romance and allegory: Flip Smyth epitomizes the Old ‘Merica and culture of entitlement. Don Stuckey, a dark-skinned man in a white man’s world, like far too many employees, lives in fear of losing his joyless job. And, Bonnie Blue, our anti-heroine, who really wants to pursue her passion for chasing storms, but —to make ends meet— finds herself preying upon the very vulnerabilities that are preyed upon within her.

In Stormchaser 🌪️, All Bonnie Blue ever wanted was to chase tornadoes with her Dad. But dreams die with time. Now, up against a recession, she's become a different kind of storm chaser - hawking storm-doors "door-to-door" around Shamrock, USA, for her charismatic boss, Flip Smyth. As she grasps that Flip's doctrine of "Flip the Switch!" is just a way to exploit customers, a different kind of switch flips inside Bonnie - unleashing an inner and outer storm of violence. 😮 ⛈️🌪️ #CatalystFestival2019 #FilmFestival #IndieTV #CatalystContent #CatalystArtists #Catalystories #AbramsArtistsAgency #Duluth #Drama #Stormchaser

Chronicles of a BLEEP Year Old Woman

Look what Chronicles of a BLEEP Year Old Woman has accomplished in ONE week since the launch! Over halfway to the crowdfunding goal. Can you help show support for this truly independent creative series and help get it toward a full season? Learn more: http://bit.ly/bleepyearold

5 DAYS LEFT!! 88% of the way there! We need $2,350 more to meet our goal. Thank you for partnering with us!

Chronicles of a Bleep Year Old Woman is a comedic series following the journey of a woman living outside of societal norms. Her delightfully delusional perspective challenges worldview concepts regarding age and female identity. It is a story by women, for women with universal themes to inspire everyone. Learn more about how you can help make this dream a reality here: http://bit.ly/bleepyearold

Last week’s NYT article highlighted the MASSIVE underrepresentation of Latinos in Hollywood, and we’ve been working to make that shift happen with the upcoming feature #ThePatrolman, featuring a predominantly Latinx cast, and Latino writer/director Antonio Michael. It’s important to make work you can be proud of on multiple levels. #change
