Measuring Matthew, a short film based on my play of the same name, will be in the FilmShift Film Festival this weekend in Somerville (I wrote the screenplay, too). It will be screened as part of the Shifty Shorts program 1, at 4:30pm on Saturday, October 6th, at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square. You can buy tickets here or else just get them at the door. The film, directed by Gul Moonis, is a fun (and slightly dark) piece about a man with some serious obsessive tendencies and stars fantastic local actor Nael Nacer (whom you can also see on stage in Kite Runner at New Rep) and also two wonderful actresses, Renee Donlan and Audrey Claire Johnson. The film has been selected for festivals in New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, and now this is our chance to see it in the Boston area.
