Peter Wick’s second and final fundraiser for his third feature film,
Rock Paper Scissors, will take place at Northwest Film Forum in the form of
a double-feature screening of both of Wick’s previous award-winning feature
films.

The event will take place Monday evening, May 11th at 7pm.

Wick’s first film, 1999′s Long Strange Trip, will screen first at
7pm. Long Strange Trip won Wick the “Most Promising Director” Award at the
New York Int’l Independent Film Festival. The film is an off-beat road trip
comedy which is considered something of a cult classic in some circles. This
is due in large part to the quirky performance of Chris Blanchett in the
twisted supporting role of “Lars.” “Lars” travels through the film with a
bullet lodged somewhere in his head, causing him to do and say things that
only occasionally make sense. Reviewed as a “Charming debut” by the Stranger
in 1999, the film also stars Wick as “Phil,” The beautiful Jennifer France
as “Becca” – a Stripper quitting her job and proving her intelligence to the
world – and Debra Pralle as “Andrea,” Phil’s magazine Editor and
ex-girlfriend, whose onslought of bad news at the beginning of the story,
sends Phil on his way into the film’s slow off-beat descent into absurdity.

Wick’s second film, last year’s Movie Pizza Love, will screen at
8:30pm.

Movie Pizza Love won Indiefest’s Feature Film Award-of-Merit, as
well the Original Song award for Jen Casebeer’s “Trashy Novel,” which plays
on the film’s soundtrack. The film is a movie-within-a-movie…..within a
movie…

“Art,” played by Wick, is making a film about his troubled
singer-songwriter friend Lisa. “Lisa” is portrayed by real Seattle
singer-songwriter Jen Casebeer, in her Acting debut. The film twists around
itself, as the movie-within-a-movie begins to take over the real movie….we
think…

Also appearing in the film are former “Miss Italy” Roberta Orlandi -
also the Star of the upcoming Rock Paper Scissors – in the key cameo role of
“Isabelle,” and Tyler Urbugkit, playing a character named, well, Tyler
Urbigkit. The blurring of fiction and reality comes to a humorous conclusion
when the movie ends…after which…..the movie ends.

Also at times very serious, this “Dramedy” attempts to be a musing
on the role fiction and media play in our everyday “Reality.”

The screening event is a fundraiser for Wick’s third film, Rock
Paper Scissors, which has received Northwest Film Forum’s “Fiscal
Sponsorship,” “Insurance Partnership,” “Roll Camera,” and “New Model Edit”
grants. Under the “Fiscal Sponsorship,” donations to the project of $50 or
more are tax-deductible under NWFF’s non-profit status.

Doors will open at 6:45, and Wick will present the two films
himself.

Cover charge is donation – pay what you will. All are welcome.
