Giant Monster Playset to Rock Pacific Northwest

EMP Museum and the Seattle International Film Festival will present the eight annual Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Film Festival on January 19th, 2013. The festival selects 21 films from around the globe and I'm thrilled to announce that Giant Monster Playset is one of them! The films will be shown at the Cinerama Theatre on Seattle's largest screen, 30 feet by 90 feet.

(For those who may not remember, Giant Monster Playset is a short monster film I made in 2011 that featured an original powerpop score. I released the score as Monster Suit, my 4th solo album.)

Giant Monster Playset will make it's Pacific Northwest Premiere at the first screening session at 4pm. A complete list of films, ticket info and schedule right here.

I'll be attending the festival and I'm truly looking forward to it. Also looking forward to seeing Jimi Hendrix's Westerner hat and the axe used by Jack Nicholson in The Shining at EMP Museum. 

Below is the official trailer for the festival which features some truly amazing films (two shots from GMPS are also featured here):
