***********************************

For anyone who follows the Boogiedowner, last year the blog helped to promote the 1st ever Bronx Week Film Festival. The event was organized by Olympia Film Locations Inc., a start up firm I created with a few friends of mine. The charge was given to us by the President of the Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (BOEDC) Ms. Marlene Cintron, with the intent to encourage film production in the Bronx and to promote Bronx filmmakers and films made in or about the Bronx.

Olympia Film Locations Inc., was given the honor by the Bronx Borough President and the BOEDC due to our finding primary locations for Sundance Film Festival sensation Gun Hill Road; which was written and directed by Bronx Director Rashaad Ernesto Green. From the ideas inception by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. at a BOEDC meeting, to it’s execution by Olympia Film Locations Inc., over a dozen Bronx filmmakers showed their films and well over three hundred filmmakers, actors, producers, writers, film festival promoters, elected officials, press and even professional MMA athletes attended the gala to mingle and plot future collaborations. Special thanks to Assemblyman Marcos A Crispo, one of last years keynote speakers actively involved in legislation to promote the arts in NYS.

Last years event was a huge success, mostly due to the die hard Bronx spirit that spawned dozens of gorilla filmmakers from all parts of our beautiful borough and the generosity of the Bruckner Bar and Grill who provided the main viewing venue. If you were part of last year’s crew that made the event a success or if you wish to partake in the 2^nd Annual Bronx Week Film Festival for the first time, here is what you can do;

1- Attend Sundays meeting listed above at the Bruckner Bar and Grill – (Please do bring any submissions you wish to enter enter for festival review)

2- If you can’t make Sundays meeting please do send us any shorts via e-mail to the following e-mail addresses;

info@olympiafilmlocations.com or boogiedowner@gmail.com

3- Save the following dates;

A- Thursday, May 17^th – Film Festival Gala Night

B- Saturday and Sunday , May 12^th and 13^th – Bronx Week Film Festival Dates

4- Help spread the word

I posted a few links to articles and other web sites to provide more background. Please do review the links attached and please do note we have a few surprises in the works to make the 2^nd Annual Film Festival an even bigger success.

Sincerely,

Gregory Tsougranis

Gun Hill Road by Bronx Director Rashaad Ernesto Greens Opens Today at Select Theatres

Today is the opening day for "Gun Hill Road". We talked about the film and it's upcoming director Rashaad Ernesto Green often on this web site. Know that it’s in theaters I hope everyone takes time to support the movie, much like the entire staff and ownership of “Gun Hill Road” supported the Bronx. As someone who helped secure locations for the film, I can attest to Rashaad's adamant stance that the entire film be filmed in the Bronx. It was also an honor for him to be involved in the first ever Bronx Week Film Festival were Rashaad and other cast and crew members took time from their busy schedule to preview the film in the festival and attend the gala event at the Bronx Museum of the Arts a few months back.

I posted a trailer from the film below and listed were the film will preview in the NYC area, starting today. Esai Morales and Harmony Santana will attend various filming today to help promote the film. When working with the film crew, I got the opportunity to speak with both. Once again you could not ask for more genuine, kind people both of which have Bronx roots. Also attached is their web site for additional information. I hope everyone takes time to log onto their web site and see the film. Please do note the film is rated R and does deal with serious issues related to sex and gender. This is not a Disney feel good movie.

Enjoy

II - Film Screenings at the Concourse Plaza Multiplex Cinema

May 19th
Thursday

Gun Hill Road (4pm) (88 Min)
By Rashaad Ernesto Green

The inspiration for the film festival came form Bronx Director Rashaad Ernesto Green and his great success with his first full length feature film, "Gun Hill Road". The movie will be shown for the first time ever to the Bronx Public as part of the film festival organized by Olympia Film Locations Inc. Please see the video and synopsis taken from the Sundance Film Festival web site. Please make sure to log on to secure your tickets today before theater capacity is reached. Seating is limited.


"After three years in prison, macho Enrique (Esai Morales) returns home to the Bronx and finds things changed. His wife, Angela (Judy Reyes), is distant, and his teenage son, Michael, has come out as Vanessa, a transgender woman. Unable to accept his child for who she is now, Enrique clings to his masculine ideals while Angela attempts to hold the family together by fiercely protecting Vanessa. Still under the watchful eye of his parole officer, Enrique must become the father he needs to be or, once again, risk losing his family and freedom.

The heart of Gun Hill Road lies in two places: a father’s inability to escape the vicious cycle of his life, and the richly drawn character of Michael/Vanessa (newcomer Harmony Santana is unforgettable). Writer/director Rashaad Ernesto Green’s first feature film is a complex family drama, told with gentle humor, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the environment that defines its inhabitants."

Annual Bronx Week Launches First Borough Film Festival

By Patrick Rocchio
Friday, April 29, 2011 12:11 PM EDT

For the first time ever during the festivities surrounding Bronx Week, a film festival will be part of the festivities.

Around 12 to 15 movies filmed in the Bronx or made by local filmmakers will be screened in the First Annual Bronx Film Festival at the Bruckner Bar and Grill at 1 Bruckner Boulevard, as part of Bronx Week 2011, from Monday, May 16 to Thursday, May 19.

The film festival is being organized by Bobby Zouvelos and Greg Tsougranis on behalf of Olympia Film Locations, a location-scouting company that specializes in bringing filmmakers to spots around the borough.

A group of film enthusiasts and full-fledged filmmakers got support from the borough president, who would like to see more film and television production in the borough.

“The festival will attract a number of films made in the Bronx, by Bronx filmmakers or about the Bronx, and will help us promote our borough through their message,” Diaz said. “I’m looking forward to experiencing the creativity and talent of our residents, this time reflected in the big screen.”

Films that promote a positive message of the borough are what Diaz hopes to showcase, and one of his pet peeves are negative depictions of the Bronx, which he discussed at a meeting of the North East Bronx Community Association on Monday, April 25.

Sundance Film Festival entry ‘Gun Hill Road,’ made by filmmaker Rashaad Ernesto Green, was filmed at a locations scouted by Olympia, and should have a special screening.

The film stars Judy Reyes, an actress known for her work on the television series Scrubs and who has been enshrined in the Bronx Walk of Fame.

Films like ‘Gun Hill Road,’ made by and about people from the borough, are the ones that Greg Tsougranis, a co-owner of Olympia, hopes to make part of the festival.

“We have a good number of people in the Bronx who are taking it upon themselves to make films,” Tsougranis said. “The Bronx has got a lot of self made people who we do not yet know about, but who are making some great films without waiting for anyone to give them anything or do anything for them.”

ADVERTISEMENTThe plots of the films to be screened range from everything from horror films to a documentary about how fanatical parents can become while watching their children play little league, Tsougranis said.

“We hope that this develops into a yearly thing,” said Jerry Landi, whose horror film ‘Krackoon’ is expected to be among those screened. “We looking to invite are inviting filmmakers and actors from all over the Bronx to participate.”

A special R.S.V.P., V.I.P. black tie event for filmmakers, celebrities, and elected officials is being planed for the evening of Thursday, May 19 at the Bronx Museum of the Arts.

1St Annual Bronx Week Film Festival Gets Great Press in Daily News Article

I never cut and paste articles from other news papers but in this case please see the entire article about Rashaad Ernesto Green, the Director of "Gun Hill Road" and the first ever Bronx Week Film Festival taken from yesterdays Easter edition of the Daily News. Once we select the final theatre venue for the first ever showing of "Gun Hill Road" in the Bronx, expect to see the press city wide. Much gratitude to Tanyanika Samuels at the Daily News.

It's time for the Bronx's closeup: film festival shines spotlight on borough
BY Tanyanika Samuels
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Monday, April 25th 2011, 4:00 AM


New York filmmaker Rashaad Ernesto Green's Sundance favorite, 'Gun Hill Road,' will screen at the Bronx Week Film Festival.

It started as an ambitious dream to showcase Bronx filmmakers and, in just a few short weeks, it's become real.

The First Annual Bronx Week Film Festival will debut during this year's Bronx Week celebration next month.

About a dozen full-length movies and documentaries will be screened, all with a connection to the borough.

"We are excited about it," said event organizer Gregory Tsougranis of Olympia Film Locations Inc. "I'm so proud that we have all these people in the Bronx who make their own movies."

The lineup features a range of genres from horror flicks to love stories. Among them are Sundance Film Fest hit drama "Gun Hill Road;" "Slime City Massacre" and "Krackoon;" the irreverent biopic, "Bronx Paradise: Diary of a Bottom Feeder;" the independent film, "My Destiny: An Albanian Love Story," and the documentary "New York MMA."

The concept for the film festival first took shape during last month's Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation meeting.

The goal was to shine a spotlight on the local film industry, and promote the borough through films made in or about the Bronx or produced by a Bronxite.

Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and BOEDC President Marlene Cintron approached Tsougranis, who helped scout locations for "Gun Hill Road."

A couple weeks later, in a meeting at the Bruckner Bar & Grill, Tsougranis and some local filmakers brought the idea to fruition.

"We are excited at the prospect of creating additional venues during Bronx Week that will draw more individuals to see what we have to offer in our wonderful borough," Diaz said.

"I'm looking forward to experiencing the creativity and talent of our residents, this time reflected in the big screen."

Local filmmaker Roko Markolovic agreed, saying that the film festival will highlight a little known side of the Bronx.

"The cultural aspect of the Bronx is not really known. No one knows that a lot of movies are being made here," said Markolovic, director of "My Destiny."

In addition to the movie screenings, the film festival is to include several workshops, guest appearances by movie directors and actors, and a gala event.

"This is good for the Bronx. It will bring a lot of attention to the [borough] and the filmmaking industry here," said Tsougranis, author of the BoogieDowner blog.

The First Annual Bronx Week Film Festival will run from May 16-19 at the Bruckner Bar & Grill, 1 Bruckner Blvd. in Port Morris.

We are looking for the strongest advocates to promote the emerging Bronx film industry. The Red Carpet Gala event is organized by Olympia Film Locations Inc.

For more information on the event please log on to the Boogiedowner daily.

Bronx Film Makers Meet at the Bruckner Bar and Grill to Plan 1st Annual Bronx Week Film Festival

One of my many ambitions related to taking over the “Boogie Downer blog” was to help bring the film/TV industry to the Bronx. For anyone that follows my blog, I am sure they have periodically seen my posts promoting Bronx film makers. In the very beginning I also mentioned my association in helping Bronx film director Rashaad Ernesto Green find locations for his award winning film, “Gun Hill Road”.

Since receiving the phone call about a year ago, “Gun Hill Road” was accepted to the Sundance Film Festival and sold for world wide distribution. Much like Brooklyn has Aronofski the Bronx now has Rashaad Ernesto Green. It is important to note Rashaad is 100% Bronx and that he was adamant that his film be 100% shot in the Bronx.

Due to my association with the movie “Gun Hill Road” and its success, The BOEDC and the Bronx Borough President, Mr. Ruben Diaz Jr., have given me and my colleagues at Olympia Film Locations Inc, the charge to establish, coordinate and manage the “1st Annual Bronx Week Film Festival”. The goal of the festival is to attract a number of films which are made either by Bronx filmmakers or are about the Bronx and that promote our borough through their unique message.

We at Olympia Film Locations Inc., will launch a web site exclusively representing a few hundred million dollars worth of Bronx properties that will be available for rent to the film and TV industry. The film and TV rental fees generated should provide opportunities for local Bronx residents, businesses and building owners trying to make ends meet in a difficult real estate market. It gave me great joy when Bronx residents living in the building ‘Gun Hill Road’ was filmed in, especially children, were featured in the film or when rental revenue received by the property owners were used to improve living conditions.

Bronx Week is scheduled from May 16th to May 21st. The Film related activities will consist of various film/TV and music video screenings and workshops. The film festival red carpet gala event will be conducted on May 20th. Our Bronx Borough President, Rashaad Ernest Green and others will be present on the 20th. We will have an eclectic mix of artists, producers, investors, distributors, non-profits and Bronx political figures attending. Together we will announce to the world that the Bronx is united on this front and that it we will bring quality jobs to our borough by promoting the film and TV industry in the Bronx.

The Buckner Bar and Grill has become ground zero for our clandestine meetings with film producers and other people in the industry. At first I was surprised at the quantity of Bronx residents that on their own produced movies in or about our borough. I took a photo of our last meeting at the Bruckner Bar and Grill and posted below along with various links about the productions made by the attendees photographed. Last Thursday concentrated on our Bronx horror film producers. Included at the meeting were the producers of ‘Slime City Massacre’ and ‘Krackoon’. The first has also been sold for world wide distribution and the second is presently in negotiations to be purchased for world wide distribution.


I am sure there are more Bronx film makers that we need to include in our Bronx Week Film Festival. Please send leads or contact information to the BoogieDowner. I am especially interested in anyone who has information on the following Bronxites:

1- Director Mike “TS” Demitro – Writer / Director / Producer
of “the Boogieman of Sousa Woods”
2- Bronx rapper Cory Gunz – Star of new Bronx Based Reality Show

In addition to Bronx directors or film makers we also hope to hear form Bronx actors and actresses that have “made it” in their profession and wish to commit to a workshop or attend our gale event on the 20th. The list of Bronx “Stars” is extensive so if the shoe fits and you wish to participate please do send me an e-mail at BoogieDowner@gmail.com.
