Movie Maker J. Robert Spencer!
November 13th, 2007BroadwayWorld.com’s News Desk Editor Eugene Lovendusky had a chance to chat with Jersey Boy and movie maker–Bobby Spencer! As you all know, Bobby has just completed directing, producing, writing and starring in his first feature film – a screw-ball romantic comedy entitled Farm Girl in New York – premiering Thursday evening, November 15, at the Big Apple Film Festival.
Here’s a short preview of this fascinating Q&A with Bobby:
Q: Congratulations! How excited are you?
Bobby: I’m most excited that the hard work has paid off for myself and the team. You put your heart and soul into something and you want to show it to an audience outside of Jersey Boys. It gives a chance to not only show my work, but of Jeffrey Schecter as an actor and co-writer. It gets to show off our cinematographer, my production team. That’s what I’m most proud of… everybody gets to have their own moment to enjoy it.
Q: Creative people have to stay creative! If people can’t make it to the Tribeca Theatre on Thursday, how else can they see the film?
Bobby: We are hopefully seeking some kind of distribution – but that’s the ultimate goal of any independent film-maker. We are sold-out, from what I was told yesterday. We’re going to try to put together another screening because I know there’s a lot Jersey Boys fans that are coming. I don’t know when, why or how, but we definitely want the opportunity for everyone to see this.
Hi Bobby, Please schedule another screening sometime soon. You know how JB fans like to see things over and over. Enjoy your special night!!!
