The Silk City Flick Fest is coming up in a couple of weeks from October 7-10 in Hartford, CT. Last year we ran the festival in my hometown of Manchester, CT (whose nickname is The Silk City). We’re keeping the namesake but moving the festivities to the Nutmeg State’s capital and Main Street, Hartford will never be the same.
This year’s event will feature an amazing lineup of features, shorts, student films, documentaries and comedies. It will showcase unknown talent from around the world and open up a significant opportunity to network for filmmakers, especially those in the New England area. With my kid on the way any day now, I won’t be able to attend, however, that doesn’t mean you can’t be there! Visit the site and check out the lineup of films at www.silkcityflickfest.com featuring a film starring none only than Rowdy Roddy Piper. Michael Caine? Robert Redford? Morgan Freeman? No, not quite. But how can you pass up the opportunity to see Rowdy Roddy Piper in a comedic, sci-fi, horror flick like “Opponent”? You can’t! Don’t miss it. Go to the site and get tickets NOW. Or else Roddy Piper will find you and smash the back of your head with a folding chair when you least expect it. It’s more of a surprise that way. Check him out in the video above where he fights childhood obesity with “Funny or Die”.
