"Who's Good Looking?" Limited Los Angeles Theatrical Release at Laemmle Sunset 5 Sept 11th, 12th, 13th


LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Writer/Director Warren Pereira’s award-winning short film “Who’s Good Looking?” (7 min.) will have a limited three day theatrical release at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theatre (8000 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90046). The film will screen off a 35 mm print twice a day on September 11th, 12th and 13th at 1:15pm and 1:25pm. This limited theatrical release will be the official Best Short Film Academy Award Qualifying Run for “Who’s Good Looking?”

“Who’s Good Looking?” is a clever relationship comedy that exposes aesthetic obsession: Narcous (Warren Pereira) questions his fiancé’s (Katie O’ Grady) notions of beauty. A sarcastic simmer boils over as the couple storms through a skincare boutique. The film is shot in a single take.

Portland reviewer Dylan de Thomas commented that Pereira’s films are “…known for being witty and urbane, a mix between the dialogue of Woody Allen’s 70’s relationship comedies with the slinky camera work and exacting blocking of a Brian De Palma or Paul Thomas Anderson.”

“Who’s Good Looking?” screened as a work-in-progress at the Santa Monica Vine Short Film Festival in November 2007. Based on the work-in-progress screenings, adjustments were made to the film and it was officially completed in January 2008. Since then, “Who’s Good Looking?” has been an official selection at numerous top-tier film festivals including the Portland International Film Festival, Beverly Hills International Film Festival, LA International Short Film Festival, Miami International Short Film Festival, Method Fest, Atlanta Film Festival and Malibu International Film Festival. “Who’s Good Looking?” received the Accolade Competition Award of Merit in 2009.

“Who’s Good Looking?” is written, directed and produced by Warren Pereira. Director of Photography is Emmy Award winner Jeff Streich; Editor and Sound Designer is Shane Sattler; Re-Recording Mixer is Aaron Levy of Academy Award winning audio post house Todd-AO; Original Score by Daniel Reynolds.
