Attention fans of hilarious, low-budge cinema: KML is hosting a night of short films from our ten year history Friday, May 16 at Intersection for the Arts (446 Valencia Street, b/w 15th and 16th) in San Francisco. That's right--tons of short films (some of which you have seen, some you haven't) and sneak previews of 2 new comedic shorts, Melanie Salazar Case's Orifice Visit and Andrew Bancroft and Kenny Taylor's Evolution: The Musical (a still from that film is in fact pictured to your left).
The night includes a silent auction of original KML-related prizes as well as offerings from local businesses, and performances from the supragroup Eggplant Casino. All the fun is hosted by KML member Jon Wolanske. For a low price of $10 (sliding scale) you'll get tons of cinematic pleasure for your buck. GET YOUR TICKETS NOW! |

 Writing comedy other people find funny is hard, but writing and producing comedy YOU find funny is almost harder, and yet more important. Because without the latter, ain't no way you're gonna do the former.
Welcome to the world of Sketch Comedy. Killing My Lobster styles. We've brought you a few introductory classes in the fine art of sketch comedy writing. Now it's time to take it to the next level. In a 5-week intensive class taught by one of the cofounders of KML and beginning mid-May, students will hone and sharpen their comedic voices through realizing their own funny ideas. Also on tap: understanding and becoming familiar with the process of translating what they find funny... into what others might/will/can't refuse but to also find funny.

 Beloved KML pals Paco Romane (he of The Romane Event at the MakeOut Room) and the band Tartufi (voted best local act by the SF Bay Guardian) have joined forces as the supergroup The Owies. And guess what, bandito? They're holding a School of Rock for young'uns at KML Headquarters.
If you have a child or know one who wants to learn how to shred like Angus Young, or simply play music in a fun collaborative environment, read below. Classes began April 26th--but you may still be able to enroll!

 It's tax time again. Yeah, we're not that psyched either.
Well, at this time of considering your donations last year, might we suggest considering dondating to the Lobster for the sake of next year's returns? Did you know that KML is a non-profit? It can be easy to assume if you have seen any of our shows that just because we can afford to rent spaces as nice as ODC that we are all set with a Daddy Warbucks who can't bankroll us. If that were only the case! Support from folks like you is what allows us to keep rolling out the comedy. And every year rents go up, as does the cost of living--which you are well aware of if you live in the Bay Area. If you are interested in aiding the KML cause by making a tax-deductable contribution please click here now. We appreciate you even thinking of it, and we thank you as always for your support. And hope you get a nice healthy return from Uncle Sam this year.

 Hmm. Good question. For a number of reasons, our beloved and- (honestly?) wicked awesome film festival of high concept, low budget cinema is taking a year off. It's worked hard for a break--10 consecutive years hard. Right now, we are taking stock of what we want HiLo to become next. And while we do that, we needed to let you know it is not happening this Spring. Thank you for your interest in it and patience with it as we hatch its next evolution. More updates on that soon... In the meantime, HiLo DVDs from years past are available in our online store. We suggest you check them out. That way, you could have a HiLo Film Festival of your own any old day of the week. |
