I didn't know where exactly to post this so thought to stick it here. Basically, it's a press release:
“We, The Screenwriter” gets “A Valentine Carol” from Lifetime
Filmmaker Michael Steven Gregory announces two movies he has premiering nationally in the month of February: “We, The Screenwriter,” a feature-length “doculogue” in which sixteen film and TV writers present a frenetic, fast-paced portrait of the person, process and profession of being a scribe in today’s Hollywood, and the romantic-comedy “A Valentine Carol,” starring Emma Caulfield (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and Barbara Niven (“Cold Case”).
Airing on Lifetime starting Sunday, Feb. 11, “A Valentine Carol” is a reimagining of the Dickens Christmas classic set on -- you guessed it -- Valentine’s Day. In it, as cynical radio talk-show “love expert” Ally Simms prepares to marry the perfect man she is visited by the ghost of her mentor in effort to remind her of what true love is all about. The TV movie was co-executive produced by Gregory and directed by Mark Jean.
Produced and directed by Gregory, “We, The Screenwriter,” featuring writers whose credits include “Air Bud,” “Any Given Sunday,” “A Valentine Carol,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Carnivàle,” “Cleopatra,” “Constantine,” “Hill Street Blues,” “House,” “Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang,” “Land of Oz,” “Lethal Weapon,” “The Long Kiss Goodnight,” “The Last Boy Scout,” “Mission Impossible: 2,” “Moby Dick,” “Pacific Heights,” “Perfect Romance,” “Resurrecting the Champ,” “Roswell,” “The Role of a Lifetime,” “Silver Surfer,” “Spawn,” “Spider-Man Unlimited,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “The Sum of All Fears,” “Tales from the Crypt,” “Timeline” and more, will debut on Cinequest Online’s Viewers’ Voice Competition, beginning Feb. 1 at www.CinequestOnline.org.
Running Feb. 1–20, the Viewers’ Voice Competition permits visitors to freely download and watch “We, The Screenwriter,” then vote on it. The winning title will receive the final theatrical screening spot at Cinequest 17, among the most competitive film festivals in the nation for indie filmmakers.
