Bow Director and Executive Producer Lije Sarki makes
an appearance at the Detroit Independent Film Festival on

Glenn, Joe &
Julia made its world premiere at the Burton Theatre for the
Detroit Independent Film Fesitval (DIFF) on Friday. It involves
the lives of two young adults in what seems to be a very happy
and loving relationship. However, one of them starts to have doubts
when he believes that his girlfriend is about to break up with
him, and his fears might come true with an ending with familiar
territory -- but leaves you confused. To be honest, it's not a
romance, so what is it: a comedy, a drama, both, or none of the
above? You decide.
Glenn, Joe &
Julia was screened on Friday, March 5 at 4 p.m.
Following Glenn,
Joe, & Julia came Alphonso Bow, where director
and executive producer Lije Sarki was at the showing to answer
questions following the showing of the film. Starring Jeffrey
Pierce (Charlie Jade) and Michael Dempsey, the film takes place
at a Mexican restaurant. The "young bull" has a know-it-all,
womanizing, devil-may-care attitude; he is cynical, loud, and
brash. The "old bull", though, is the complete opposite,
as these two men discuss everything from relationships to sex
to Christianity to Buddhism and so forth based on their age, personality,
lifestyle.
This is the better
than the two because it does make you think besides smacking the
title character because he may irritate you so much, I'm surprised
that even the waitress had so much restraint throughout the film.
Alphonso Bow may be the guy you love to hate, but it is funny
and insightful.
Alphonso Bow
was screened on Friday, March 5 at 4:30 p.m.
