Tribeca Film Festival

Last Wednesday my husband’s latest film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. It’s called Knife Fight, and it stars Rob Lowe. You can check out the trailer by clicking here.

Though my guy’s been in the film business for a while now (he started as an assistant at DreamWorks back in the day), it’s only the last five years or so that his own films have started doing the whole festival thing. Coincidentally, it’s also in the last five years that we started our family. So while he’s been traveling to France, New York (he had another film, “Splinters,” at Tribeca last year), South America and such, I’ve been home taking care of the babies. Which is fine, really. I mean, who wants to walk down the red carpet when they can stay home and change poopy diapers.

Ah-hem.

Needless to say, I was pretty excited to go. My dad came down from Idaho to watch the kiddos (thanks dad!) and I took the red eye Tuesday night to New York. I crashed into our hotel bed around 5am, slept untilI felt like waking up, ate, read my book, slept some more and basically lounged the day away until it was time to don the fancy duds and go to the screening. I got to walk down the red carpet and wait in the back with the cast until the screening started.

The theater, the largest at the festival with 900 seats, was packed (sold out, in fact). The Q&A after was great. The festival threw an after party at this cool, basement bar all lined in brick (what is it with New York and brick – they love that stuff) in the Village. It was a great night all around. Here are a few photos:

Sometimes it can be challenging being a creative couple. Sometimes our creative angst can lead us to lash out at each other, or be moody in unexpected ways, but sometimes, it’s awesome.
