The Pink Lobster Film Fest is just about to begin, but we're going to give you a sneak preview of closing night: The Pink Lobster Film Fest is proud to present "Tucked" on night 3, closing out our feature presentations!

Winner of Outstanding U.S. Narrative Feature Grand Jury Award for OUTFEST, Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival, Tucked is a raw and tender drama about an aging 80 year old drag queen who forms an unlikely friendship with a younger queen, both struggling with their own issues of gender identity and mortality. As they discover more about each other, they realize how to truly be themselves.

"Tucked" stars renowned British actor Derren Nesbitt as Jackie, who some may remember from his role as Major Von Hapen, an ice cold SS officer nearly foiling Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton plans in "Where Eagles Dare" (1968). This feature will close out the Pink Lobster Film Fest and is sure to bring the house down! Programming for Night 3 starts at 7:00 p.m. on February 16th at Tilley Hall.

UPDATE YOUR CAST AND CREW PROFILE TODAY!

So you've joined the NB Film Co-op. You've taken a bunch of workshops. You've gone to networking events. But you're still unsure how to actually get involved with a film shoot.

One way to get your name out there is to register for the NB Film Co-op Cast and Crew Profile. It's a database where filmmakers can see a list of members who are able to fill in various cast and crew positions. It's simple to fill out and in no time your name will be made available to all filmmakers who are looking for cast and crew for their upcoming projects. It has recently been modified to allow new members with little or no experience create a profile, and it also allows members to fill in a more complete resume if they wish.

It's also beneficial for our more experienced members too. It is a place where commercial filmmakers can go to search for people to hire for paid shoots, and it gives members a platform to self promote themselves and their work.

So please, take a few minutes to fill out your profile and help the Co-op promote you!

This benefit is for Film Co-op members in good standing with their dues paid up. Email info@nbfilmcoop.com to find out more info.

Note: If you want to get calls from outside production companies and local production companies looking for creative crew, please ask Cat to be put on her film job short list. She can't refer you if you don't let her know.
