REGRET's world premiere - Vero Beach!!

With everything that has been going on, film festivals have mostly gone on hiatus, but with evolving safety protocols and an increasing need for socially conscious work, they are beginning to open their doors!

Vero Beach Wine & Film Festival prides itself on promoting the work of underrepresented populations, as well as films that tackle issues and crises from across the world. I am thrilled to announce that Regret’s world premiere will be happening at this wonderful festival.

Due to the covid-19 crisis, Vero Beach will be holding smaller screening events over a longer period of time in August and early September, and individual screening times will be coming soon! I was honored for “Dr. Chevalier’s Lie,” the short film I wrote with Ripe Figs LLC, which was directed by Artemis Preeshl, to be included in the Vero Beach Wine & Film Festival of 2017, and doubly honored to be returning with another chapter in Ripe Figs LLC’s adaptations of Kate Chopin’s short stories, only this time as both writer and director.

As Regret continues its festival season, I am looking forward to seeing all the amazing work of my fellow filmakers.

Thank you of course to executive producer Barbara Ewell, Producer Kim Rouse Bernard, our star Artemis Preeshl, and amazing cast: Audrey Lecrone, LaKesha Glover, Lara Grice, Dane Rhodes, Kaili Dyson, Blue Clarke, Kelly Lind, Maliek Small, Mustafa Harris, Tracy Norwood, Larry Lundy Jr, Connor Allen, and Michael Stewart. And of course cinematographer Patrick McGinley, Production Designer Laura Duval, composer Eric Laws, Editor Kimaree Long, Re-Recording Mixer Billy Theriot, Costume Designer Sandra Algood Taylor, colorist Bradley Greer, not to mention the best crew an indie filmmaker could hope for: Andre Herrera (1st AD and fellow indie filmmaker), Marcos Gonzalez, Erin Moreau, Sophia Alonzo, Derek Rocque, Charlie Mascagni, Justin Ditch, Jonah Carmena, Chad Shuttleworth, Hunter Thomas, Sandy Parker, Amy Laws, Elijah LeNoir, and Thalia Skeleris. Also, our amazing hosts at our locations: Jan and Ernie Langlinois at LA Serendipity Vineyards, Nick Usner at Grow! Farms, and Bobby Guillot. Not to mention Orange Whip Grip and SoundHard for their support. If ANYONE was left off this list is purely from a lack of organization on my part, not a lack of gratitude or contribution. I can’t wait until this festival circuit gets into full swing to show off their amazing work.
