Carson Mell’s Dispatches from Dimension X

August 19th, 2008

SF360 Film+Club will be presenting Dispatches from Dimension X, a showcase of work by Wholphin favorite, Carson Mell, next Thursday, August 28th at Club Mezzanine in San Francisco.  

Take equal parts country-rock star, science-fiction writer, undersexed adolescent and uncomfortable malcontent and you’ve merely cracked the door into the world of Carson Mell. Carson will be in attendance to present his animated short films and music videos, and to read from his illustrated novel, Saguaro, about the life and times of ex-rock star Bobby Bird, the fictional protagonist of many of Carson’s short films, which can be seen on Wholphin 1, 3, 5 and the upcoming 7. 

After Carson appeared with screenings of Chonto at this year’s San Francisco International Film Festival, the requests came pouring in for more. So here’s your chance, as Elston Gunn of Ain’t It Cool News said, to “hop on the cusp of an American original.”

Tickets are $8 with an RSVP to sf360@sffs.org or $12 at the door. Doors open at 7PM. Screening starts at 7:30PM. Mezzanine is located at 444 Jessie Street in San Francisco.
