"The Bread Squeezer" Short Film playing at the Atlanta Film Festival June 11, 2006

The 19 minute short film "The Bread Squeezer" will be screening before the feature film "Fatwa" as part of the 2006 Atlanta Film Festival.

"The Bread Squeezer" tells the story of Andrew Peadbody, whose loving parents die in a tragic Christmas tree accident. He is taken in by his well meaning, but extremely regimented, Aunt Gertrude Crab. Without the warmth of his mom and dad, young Andrew leads an unremarkable life full of chronic disappointments. Until one day, when everything goes horribly wrong and horribly right in the bread aisle of Pickles' Grocery Store.

Director Kasia Kowalczyk and lead actor Tal Harris will be attending the screening, as well as composers Tom Maxwell & Ken Mosher.

Tom Maxwell & Ken Mosher (Former Squirrel Nut Zippers) created an inspired soundtrack for the film and will be in Atlanta to promote it, in addition to promoting their new album. They'll be playing live all over town that day, check out this website to see where you can catch them:
