I am Head of Distribution for indie film distributor Goodbye Cruel Releasing which is releasing Andrew Bujalski's award-winning film depicting the life of recent Boston grads, "Funny Ha Ha". Check out www.funnyhahafilm.com to see our trailer and other info.

Evidenced by Andrew's 2004 IFP Someone to Watch Award, Andrew is one of America's most talented young writer/directors and we are proud to be releasing his first film. The film stars members of acclaimed rock band Bishop Allen and together both the filmmaker and the band represent an incredibly rich artistic contribution from your home town. "Funny Ha Ha" was made by Boston filmmakers, takes place in Boston and Bishop Allen's name stems from Bishop Allen Drive in Cambridge. They all went to Harvard (but we don't hold that against them).

We feel that your ability to spread the word among its core youth audience is vital for our small film. We would be thrilled if you can discuss or review the film or the party. We would like to invite you to the "Funny Ha Ha" Boston press screening and our Opening Night Screening and Release Party featuring a live performance by Bishop Allen.

April 15 Press Screening 10:00AM
Coolidge Corner (290 Harvard St.)
RSVP and interview requests to [email protected]

April 28 Opening Night 7:30pm
Screening featuring Q&A w/ Andrew Bujalski at 7:30PM at Coolidge Corner (290 Harvard St.), immediately followed by the "Funny Ha Ha" Release Party at Upstairs at The Middle East (10:00PM, 472/480 Mass Ave.) featuring a live performance by Bishop Allen.

RSVP [email protected]

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I hope to meet you on the 28th. Your support for the film is appreciated.

Sincerely,
Houston King
