Frank & Cindy

Frank & Cindy, originally uploaded by Clint Berquist.

I got a message from Frank and Cindy director G.J. Echternkamp wondering what he could do to help promote his film. G.J. was worried about his screening time because he was "going up against the weiner dog movie".

Well, he should be worried because tickets to Shane McDougal's Weiner Take All are selling like hotcakes. At this rate, both screenings are going to be packed. I honestly had no idea it was going to be such a hot ticket.

But, if you are not into a documentary on weiner dog racing, you should really check out Frank and Cindy. It is one of my favorites of the fest. It is a great little doc that G.J. did on his mom and step-dad which seemed like it started as a way to make fun of him and the one-hit wonder status he earned in the 80's while with the band OXO. What starts out as a joke turns into a pretty heart warming tale. The subjects are great. It's like watching a cross-between American Movie and an episode of Intervention. Be sure not to miss Frank & Cindy.
