FFF Premieres Multi-Award Winning Love, Sex & Missed Connections

With full houses and major cast present, Film Festival Flix celebrated the Los Angeles premiere of Love, Sex & Missed Connections, with screenings at the Laemmle NoHo 7 and the Regal Cinemas at L.A. Live. From first-time screenwriter and Groundlings alum, Kenny Stevenson (Parks and Recreation), the romantic comedy has won numerous festival awards, including the prestigious, Special Jury Prize for First Time Director (Eric Kissack), at the Traverse City Film Festival 2012, and is the latest offering by Film Festival Flix (FFF), the monthly cinematic event series that takes Award-Winning and Audience Favorite films from Festivals around the world directly to theaters. 

Director Kissack, whose feature editing credits include, Role Models, Bruno, Cedar Rapids, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas and The Dictator, expressed his excitement over “Love, Sex” being picked up by Film Festival Flix. “It’s amazing,” he said. “To have a platform that is dedicated to taking these great festival films and getting them out their to wider audiences is terrific.” “I agree 100%,” said producer Lisa Rudin (Religulous). “We are very excited!”

Comedy was on the Red Carpet at the Laemmle NoHo 7 screening, with “Love, Sex’s” cast members, many of whom are Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade grads. Seen were the film’s female star, Dorien Davies (Playback, Get Dead, This Is Not A Film), as well as Shane Elliott (Monk, Dreamland), Abraham Smith (As The World Turns, Guiding Light), Sami Klein (Modern Family, NCIS, Boston Legal), Jocelyn Christensen (The Middle), Julie Mitchell (Betty & DD, House M.D.)and Mitch Silpa (Bridesmaids, 2 Broke Girls, Curb Your Enthusiasm). Also present for the Laemmle NoHo 7 premiere, was actress Judy Greer (13 Going on 30, Arrested Development, Archer, Two and a Half Men).

Writer/Star Stevenson was thrilled with the FFF premiere experience at the screenings. “I feel like we are the perfect fit for the format as we had great festival success, but at the same time kind of flew under the radar because we were such a low-budget film,” he said. “To be able to screen with a company that strives to showcase and champion independent filmmaking is awesome…and to screen at a Laemmle, the name in art-house cinema in Los Angeles - it's beyond my wildest dreams!”
