Elvis Tribute Artist, Eddie O'Rourke does the "red carpet" in Tribeca
Earlier in the year this Elvis Tribute Artist was invited to The Tribeca Film Festival. Founded in 2002, by actor Robert DeNiro and Craig Hatkoff just after 9-11. The festival was conceived to foster the revitalization of the downtown area of Manhattan and to promote New York City as a major mecca for film making.
At a private screening I saw the premier of the hilarious dark-comedy “Serious Moonlight”,starring Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton. The film was directed by actor/director Cheryl Hines and screenplay by the late Adrienne Shelly who also wrote, co-starred in, and directed the critically acclaimed 2007 hit “Waitress.” A big thumbs-up for Shelly’s final entry. Her tragic passing is such a loss to those of us who appreciate superb writing. I’ll be looking forward to hitting The Tribeca Film Festival once again in the Spring of 2010. See…I do occasionally get to do something in addition to my Elvis Tribute Show!
