(SAN JOSE, CA) WORLD PREMIERE OF VIEWERS VOICE AWARD WINNER "GUY IN ROW FIVE" ROCKS CINEQUEST FILM FESTIVAL
Cinderella story brings indie comedy into the spotlight with added screening.Until last week when the San Jose based Cinequest Film Festival gave out its first-ever Viewers Voice Award, nobody had heard of the guys from "Guy In Row Five". After last night's roaring World Premiere, the electric response to "Guy In Row Five" prompted festival programmers to add an additional screening of the film this Sunday, March 13 at 10:00am at the central Camera 12 venue.
Cinequest touts its final weekend as the biggest and best of the fest, bringing in distributors for screenings and panel discussions, as well as hosting VIP parties for filmmaker and industry representatives from around the country. Festival programmers wanted to make sure "Guy In Row Five" would be available to be seen on the closing day of Cinequest 15, which runs from Wednesday, March 2 through Sunday, March 13, 2005.
Hitting the festival with a running start, buzz about the feature brought a record-setting crowd to the SJ State University Theater Tuesday, March 8 for the film's premiere. The extended Q&A following with Co-Director/Producer Jonathon E. Stewart, Co-Director Phil Thurman, Co-Writer/Star Bobby Field and Co-Writer Motrya Tomycz demonstrated the audience's enthusiastic reaction with question after question about the future of the indie underdog.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) – INDIE FILMMAKERS FINISH ROCK & ROLL FINANCED FEATURE COMEDY GUY IN ROW FIVE “Artists Benefiting Artists” is the catchphrase for a network of Hollywood talent known as “Underbelly,” and in addition to producing a string of fundraising concerts over the past two years, these underground artists just finished a feature film, GUY IN ROW FIVE, helmed by directors Jonathon Stewart and Phil Thurman and starring newcomer Bobby Field.
“To get Underbelly off the ground, we basically just put every talented person we knew – musician, actor, painter, producer – under the same roof for a night and charged a cover,” Field says. “It was amazing to see such a wide array of artists come together and selflessly help to make the events such a huge success.”
Nine huge successes to be exact, at venues from LA’s Dragonfly to The Knitting Factory, showcasing talent from local bands Slydell, Cody Marks, Poets and Pornstars, Amy Jo Johnson and nakedstar to San Diego rockers Superunloader.
And, while the bands played each show as a benefit to the filmmakers, Stewart and Thurman relied heavily on their music to help score GUY IN ROW FIVE. In addition, a handful of the band members pop up in bit parts throughout the film. “These artists can sing, act, play the guitar,” Thurman comments. “The shows and the film have given them a chance to showcase all of their talents. That’s what we hoped to accomplish from the start.”
Along with attracting talented musicians, the filmmakers also cast several name actors in the film. Clare Kramer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bring It On), Thomas Ian Nicholas (AMERICAN PIE,), Jennifer Aspen (Rondney, Party of Five), Colin Ferguson (Coupling), Rachel Miner (LITTLE ATHENS, BULLY), Joel Michaely (KISS, KISS, BANG, BANG and RULES OF ATTRACTION) and Hal Ozsan (Dawson’s Creek) round out the ensemble cast.
GUY IN ROW FIVE portrays Field (who also co-wrote the film with New York writer Motrya Tomycz) as “Thess,” a wet-behind-the-ears actor convinced of his rising stardom who decides to document his last day of being an “unknown.” The film is a comedy before anything else, but it also touts a strong message at its core: Follow your dream.
“I’ve never seen a film come together quite like this,” Stewart comments. “From the fundraising efforts of Underbelly, to the amount of talent we found both on-screen and behind the camera … it’s been an amazing journey.”
Though GUY IN ROW FIVE is completed, Underbelly continues to rock, hosting a new show every few months. Please visit www.guyinrowfive.com for details.
