You've read about it in all of the gossip columns as well as the respectable press outlets.  Now, it's finally here.  The world premiere of our friend Sean Glass' latest short film, Benefits.  It stars Brian Boulos, Byrdie Bell, Kristy Rao, Paul Johnson-Calderon, Stephanie Wei, Liam McMullan, Nicole Jacobs and Brad Woolf. This narrative short is showing at the Bushwick Film Festival on Sunday night August 24th.  The attached brochure and flier say that it will be at 6:45pm, but Sean got it pushed back to 8:00pm so that all of you out in the Hamptons or wherever for the weekend have no excuse not to be there!  It's not an uptight festival like nyff later this week, it's very low key, so bring anyone.
More information including schedule below:

Food and drinks will be served, and there will be lots of other films and artsy stuff happening.  the entire event is going 3pm-11pm, so feel free to come early, or go on Friday or Saturday too if you want.
