“We had about 100 hours of footage, and I thought we had enough for a ten-minute documentary,” says co-director Mitch Dickman of the film version’s genesis. “The next thing I know, we made a feature-length film.” DNC Mediamockracy screens tonight at 7 p.m. and again at 6 p.m. on Sunday, with the message “If you have a problem, try to do something about it” deeply imprinted in its vision.
The second film, A Test of Wills, is a ninety-minute fiction also directed by Dickman that tells the story of a screenwriter on the slide who finds his story being written out in scenes come to life; the casting of screenwriter William Hahn in the leading role adds a point of unexpected realism to the plot. Filmed in what Dickman calls a “quick, guerrilla, small-crew style,” Test screens at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Buntport is located at 717 Lipan Street; admission is $10 per screening, and reservations are recommended. For tickets and details, go to www.listenproductions.com or call 720-290-1104.
