METROPOLICKS at the 8th Annual Love Actually Short Film Showcase
/On February 14th, Felicia and Victor were invited to emcee the 8th Annual Love Actually International Short Film Showcase and photos have posted on this website here: www.metropolicks.com/photos and on the Metropolicks Facebook page.
The event takes place annually on Valentine's Day and features short films on the subject of love and relationships. This year's films also touched upon topics ranging from terminal illness to the porn industry and of course there were tales of love in all different forms- imagined love, unrequited love, first love, and forbidden love.
TWO new Metropolicks Valentine's Day themed videos premiered at the event. And they can now be seen on our YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/user/metropolicks
The first video is a theatrical excerpt adapted from the chapter "The New Hunter Gatherers," which takes place in Year I of the novel, on a Valentine's Day. The reading was performed and filmed at the Metropolicks book release party on January 8th.
