World premiere: "The Stag Hunt"

(Note: Think deep-voiced movie announcer)

From the DaVinci-esque creator of the "Norman Rockwell
Code" and the visionary videographer who my wife duped
into shooting videos for her super-fabulous fashion blog (Runway
Ready) — a dramatic, enigmatic new blockbuster …
"The Stag Hunt"!

That’s right film fans, our friend Jeff
Spires (Dover, N.H-based cinematographer extraordinaire)
has hooked up with writer/director Alfred Thomas Catalfo and
an all-star filmmaking team in this 21-minute, "Hitchcockian
thriller."

And the world
premiere is tomorrow night at the Boston International Film
Festival! The screening — Wednesday, June 11, 6 p.m. at the
Loews/AMC Theater at Boston Common, 175 Tremont St. — will
be followed by a Q&A.

Check
out the trailer. It looks hip and edgy, cool and
cerebral, with pistols blazing and talk of "probability
theory" and "quantum mechanics."

And if the voice that opens the trailer sounds familiar,
that’s because it’s Steve Zirnkilton, the actual guy who does
the opening voice-over on (chung-chung) "Law & Order"!!

Produced by Marc A. Dole and presented by Left Bank Films,
"The Stag Hunt" also has been selected for the Long
Island International Film Expo (screening July 14 in Bellmore,
Long Island).

It was filmed locally, including a tense, action-packed airport
sequence at Pease Tradeport. Here’s a piece spotlighting Writer-director
Catalfo and the film in Portsmouth Magazine.

Catalfo also collaborated with producer Dole, founder and
CEO of Portsmouth-based Hatchling
Studios, on a smash, 35-minute "DaVinci
Code" spoof called "The Norman Rockwell
Code." Roll
the trailer.

Based on the trailer alone — slick, well-produced, with
crisp dialogue — my wife is nominating "The Stag Hunt"
for a 2008 Debbie Award. Congratulations to Jeff (director
of photography) and his colleagues on what looks like a fantastic
film!
