SHORTFEST 2010 Douglas Lamore and Brian Mack with cast of "She Believes In Fate"
Charlatan Studios returns to ShortFest with two films, “She Believes In Fate” and “The Festival Heist”. “Festival Heist” will kick off the festival at the opening night gala, showcasing the filmmakers’ acting skills playing alter-egos Alan and Frank. “The Festival Heist” (a film actually shot during the festival a year prior), parodies the two filmmakers attempts to “break into Hollywood” by sneaking into the festival tape vault and secretly planting their REJECTED film. Ken Jacobson, programming coordinator at Palm Springs Intl. Film Festival, made a special request to screen the film on opening night. “We loved it. We were showing everyone in the office, it was hilarious.” The Charlatans describe the Alan & Frank series as a vehicle to vent their frustrations with Hollywood. “We’re largely dissatisfied with filmmaking today,” Mack said at their 2011 cast & crew pre-screening. “Really, its become nothing more than over-hyped sensationalism, a regurgitation of the same ideas with remakes and sequels. We believe filmmaking is an art, and it needs independent voices. And that ISN’T coming from the Hollywood studio system.”
