My new film, a dark comedy called "The Mind is a Liar and a Whore" (2007; 92 min.) screens Friday Nov. 9th at 2138 Cedar Street in Berkeley. This is an old wooden church whose priests allowed me to rent their sanctuary as a screening room. The acoustics are great, the location easy to find and they have a great sound system and projector already installed.

SYNOPSIS
Four roommates, a live-in boyfriend and their visiting landlord are forced indoors during an unexpected citywide lockdown initiated by the federal government. Ona, a webcast diva with her own show, thinks the feds are shifting into a fullblown police state. Her roomies think she's paranoid. Havoc and hilarity unravel as they all race to their own conclusions about what they think is happening during their current state of escalating uncertainty.
