I was planning on holding off on a proper Nightcap but I’ve become flush with links so I’m posting one before we wade into DOC NYC, The South Asian International Film Festival and the holiday movie season.

Hubert read this week at Housing Works. He had four minutes to read a portion of his story about a Rube Goldberg machine contest. And the Unseen crew Mondo, Alec, Mr C and myself were there as well as the lovely Sotoko
Being a friend has nothing to do with my saying he was really good and one of the best at the event. What I liked was that when he took the stage, he took the stage. When he was up there you knew he was in charge and demanding your attention. Most of the readers couldn’t hold the stage, Hubert did.
Actually outside of Michael Klein, who read several funny stories, another person who did a monolog about killing his grandfather and Hubert, the readers were a weak bunch. The poorness was the result of either the result of their material not working when read out loud (some stories shouldn’t be read out loud) or the person not being good public speakers (as in the case of one poet who ran all the lines together and spoke without inflection).
Not only did Hubert read but there was cake, cake is always good.

This week is the New York City Horror Film Festival.
I would love to get to it but I’m completely booked as are most of the Unseen crew However if you’re so inclined you should be taking a look at the schedule and diving into the horror.
For more tails and the schedule go to the NYC Horror Film Festival website.
