Spinestealer

Opening Reception:

Saturday, July 19

8pm to Midnight

FREE ADMISSION

Spinestealer will impress you with her atmospheric, minimal mixed media
sculptures, paintings, and drawings. Creepy, sweet, and maniacal, her art pieces crawl off of forgotten shelves and reach from their creator-imposed confinement on dilapidated walls. They beckon kindred souls to join them on their journey…

Whether to an abandoned playground, a cemetery, or a haunted carnival, they guarantee the trip will be memorable.

"Beyond Repair" is a show developed around (Spinestealer's) physical illness, and the road traveled because of it. These are her most personal works, telling the story of actual events as well as expressing the emotional turmoil that goes hand in hand with becoming disabled.

The artwork speaks of turmoil, conveying betrayal, despair, physical pain, disability, alcohol dependance, struggle, and most importantly....abandonment. This is a powerful exhibit that is not to be missed.

OCEANIA: local San Jose/South Bay student film @ CINEQUEST 2008!

2008-03-02T19:29:39Z

Hey guys, we REALLY need some local support! Please check our film out at the Cinequest Film Festival March 6th and March 8th. More info below:

Two teenagers deal with their shattered family-life in a small California coastal town.

We started filming when we were in high school (I was 17). Many of the people involved went to Piedmont Hills High School in San Jose, and some actors are from SF, Mill Valley, Palo Alto, etc. It was truly a local effort, and...

It was a rather large volunteer effort. The final budget was around $3,500 or so. Shooting took place on and off for a whole year and editing took me about nine more months. This will be our first and possibly last major screening...

We will be having two screenings:

OPENING NIGHT: 03/06/08 Thursday 7:00 PM
San Jose Repertory Theatre
101 Paseo De San Antonio
San Jose, CA 95113

CLOSING NIGHT: 03/08/08 Saturday 7:30 PM
Camera 12 Cinema San Jose
288 S 2nd St
San Jose, CA 95113

For more info go directly to the Cinequest 2008 site:
http://www.cinequest.org/event_view.php?eid=425

Also, please feel free to bring friends! It would mean a lot to us to get more locals out to see the film!
