Welcome to the 9th annual Lonely Seal International Film, Screenplay & Music Festival, the home of “stories aching to be told.” Our festival takes place at the historic Regent Theatre in Arlington, MA, from August 27-30. We are thrilled to share our robust and diverse schedule with you.
We’ve got four days filled with awesome screenings, a book signing from an Oscar winner, a career strategy seminar, a party, and a late-night showcase of some wicked animation. Here’s a slice of some key events.
Oscar Winner Ernest Thompson Screening, Book Signing & Talk
Join us in person for an awesome day with Oscar Winner Ernest Thompson! Academy Award-winning Screenwriter Ernest Thompson (Best Adapted Screenplay, On Golden Pond – 1982 – based on Mr. Thompson’s play) will discuss his new book, “Out Clause,” and participate in a book signing. We will also screen Mr. Thompson’s short film, The Constituent, which he wrote, directed, and acted in. Here is a brief description: Constituent (USA, 36:31). When Chas Potter takes action on his concern for our country and the challenges it faces, he receives a response from a United States senator who has had enough and pays a (not so) friendly visit. The confrontation is stunning and stark. And hilarious. This is your chance to meet and learn vital insights from an American Treasure – Mr. Ernest Thompson.
Spike & Mike’s Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation
Back in Greater Boston for the first time in 18 years! Spike & Mike’s Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation is where it all started for Mike Judge (Beavis & Butt Head), Trey Parker & Matt Stone (South Park), John Lasseter (Toy Story & Pixar), and many, many more.
