Premiere of Mercy
On May 3rd I managed to get out of a meeting on time for once to see the premiere of Scott Caan’s film Mercy. Scott wrote and stared in this “little film” as the director Patrick Hoelck called it. A surreal love story. It was beautifully shot and the silver screen at the Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Blvd, made it even more beautiful. It opens next week at little theater by the Crunch Gym on Sunset and Crescent Heights. Lots of great actors worked on this James Caan Dylan McDermott, Erika Christainson, Wendy Glenn, Troy Garity. I also saw Dax Shepard getting popcorn. I was very happy for Scott and his film even though we were supposed to work together on a film and he backed out. If you’re a fan of cinematography see this film, it’s shot so beautifully. I would label the storyline as comedy turned tragic, if that makes sense. The most disappointing part was that the popcorn wasn’t free and free popcorn is the only reason I go to premieres. The after party was at the Roosevelt Hotel just down the street. Don Julio Tequila sponsored the evening and it was fabulous and felt like old Hollywood. Everybody knows you can enter the Roosevelt hotel
