Mcgillacuddy's Screening

After our success at PUFF, The Corners is now returning to one of the locations where the film was shot, Mcgillacuddy's Sports Pub and Grill. The screening of the film will be on Sunday, July 18th at 9pm...and it will be free! Mcgillacuddy's was sympathetic to our plight during production as a no-budget operation and happily offered us use of their space. Because of this generosity, we were able to finish under our deadline. A thousand thank you's to the bar, now it is time to throw it on the big screen and have some fun!
We will know in the next six weeks where our next festival screening will be. Count on one in October. Til then, we will continue to screen the film in and around Portland, our home base.
Come enjoy our events and thank you for all of your support!

PUFF

The news in our world is quite exciting. We, the cast and crew of The Corners overcame the daunting challenges set before us when we decided to produce a feature film without any kind of budget, and the result is an AMAZING film! We will have our world premiere at the Clinton Street Theater next Thursday, June 10th, at 8pm as the OPENING film at the Portland Underground Film Festival! After the screening the festival is throwing an after party at the Aalto Lounge on SE Belmont, and your ticket to The Corners gets you a free Vodka drink.
Thanks to our friends and family who supported us. Thanks to the business proprietors and neighborhood residents who put up with us. And thanks to all who are interested in seeing what heart, talent, and motivation can accomplish on its own.
Come to the screening, it will be a wonderful night. - Keith

The Characters

BRANDON: In his late 20's, a bit lost in life, has a good heart, but tends to end up in the wrong places at the wrong times. Wants to set his life straight but not sure how. *Drew Hicks*

JUAN: Brandon's closest friend. A bit of a leader, while at the same time uncertain of his actions. Could be a menace or just a 20 something trying to make up for things lost. *Joshua Sawtell*

LOKI: Looks up to his brother Frome, possibly too much. He has a gambling problem, and it guides his actions. Odd and confused, not the cream of the crop, but who is these days? *Jeremiah Benjamin*

FROME: Loki's older brother. Forceful and a possible leader. Is after things in life that are unhealthy and unacceptable. He is larger than Loki and more vain, and not afraid to show it. *Seth Allen*

MOLLY: Generation Y cab driver. A girl who is soft on the eyes. Blends well yet uniquely stands out in any environment. Pairs up with Loki on accident and trouble falls into her lap, though she is the one that put it there. *Erin Gaughan*

BAILEY: A fun seeker with a bad attitude. Tough, stern, witty, and a bit self-centered. In a way not too far off from Frome's ambitions. *Maria Aparo*

EMBRY: The college girl next door with a spark. Big heart, but is still a bit lost on who she is. In town to visit her family for Thanksgiving. *Kacy Owens*

MATT: Embry's younger brother, in his early 20's and a member of a gang. They have a solid relationship even though they only see each other on the holidays. *Solamon Ibe*

GERRY: Juan's lazy, untrustworthy brother and roommate. No job or money and could easily end up on the street. *Garrett Ritchie*

DRAKE: Brandon's father. Possibly an ex-marine, hot tempered, offers advice in a tough-love fashion. *Bob Olin*

ED: A bartender at a local sleazy dive bar. Will smile and schmooze, but will not think twice about getting ahead by screwing over an innocent person. *Brian Young*

OTHER SPEAKING AND NON SPEAKING ROLES: Blackjack dealer, Theater worker, Mini-Mart clerk, Scared Drunk, Mother (voice on phone), Doorman.
