Silent Auction: Art


Looking for something unique to adorn your walls? Come to our October 2nd fundraiser at Tabu, grab a drink at the open bar, and check out our silent auction offerings. Several local artists have already donated their work to help support our film!

Rooster and Hen Silhouettes - Eric N. Fausnacht

You may have seen Eric N. Fausnacht's work at local galleries or online. His Fowl Images are acrylic and oil portraits of roosters and chickens--domestic beauties that will brighten any homestead. This set of rooster and hen silhouettes on a richly textured background (20x16" each) are being auctioned together.

Betty White - Kevin Ardinger

Massachusetts native Kevin Ardinger has made Philadelphia his home since graduating from Philadelphia University 10 years ago. Architect by day, design student by night, Kevin still finds time to paint for family, friends and leisure. His acrylic portrait of the last living Golden Girl is colorful and saturated with charm, much like its subject!

Two Mixed Media Offerings - Tom Fitzgerald

Tom Fitzgerald (father of Regrets producer Paul Fitzgerald) has been drawing and painting on and off for most of his adult life. Now retired, he has resumed his artistic expression with renewed fervor, and has recently explored mixed media works. These two pieces, utilizing acrylic, watercolors, textiles and photos, are being auctioned separately. Both are matted and framed.

The Movie

So by now you're probably wondering what this Regrets flick is all about. Well, it's about a guy who wakes up somewhere he shouldn't. It's also about a few thousand dollars over budget right now, and we haven't even started casting.

OK, lets back up. A few months ago, Michelle Pollino and Paul Fitzgerald got together over a couple of beers and started talking about making a movie, and before long we enlisted friends Kelly Burkhardt, Brian Gannon and Jerry Palovick as equal partners. We knew we could only afford to do a short, and we wanted something with a gay male theme, so we placed some ads looking for screenplays. Regrets, by screenwriter Rob Williams, was an immediate attention grabber; tense and creepy, the kind of story that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. We knew we had to make this film...now we just need to finance it!

Oh, we won't make a blatant, discomforting plea for your money. Yet. We've already made half our budget with an October fundraiser, and we're planning a second one for this December! We'll have announcements on all the details shortly, so please keep checking back, here and on Facebook...and don't forget you can make a donation anytime!
