BELLFLOWER/HTN Contest: Attend NYC Premiere & Win A Free Tattoo!

Evan Glodell’s Bellflower is a movie that scalded our socks off at Sundance. If you don’t believe me, read Mike S. Ryan’s review. Now, thanks to the film’s distributor Oscilloscope, we are teaming up to present the film’s NYC premiere. Not only can you attend this fun night—follow the instructions below—but one winner will receive a free tattoo (which hopefully it isn’t mandated to be a replica of the one that features prominently in the film’s gonzo third act). Get to RSVPin’, kiddies, as Bellflower is setting itself up to be one of the most talked about movies of the summer. It already stands defiantly as one of the boldest and most accomplished micro-budget achievements of 2011.

Michael Tully is an award-winning writer/director whose films have garnered widespread critical acclaim, his projects having premiered at some of the most renowned film festivals across the globe. He is also the former (and founding) editor of this site. In 2006, Michael's first feature, COCAINE ANGEL, chronicling a tragic week in the life of a young drug addict, world premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. The film immediately solidified the director as one of Filmmaker Magazine’s "25 New Faces of Independent Film,” a reputation that was reinforced a year later when his follow-up feature, SILVER JEW, a documentary capturing the late David Berman's rare musical performances in Tel Aviv, world-premiered at SXSW and landed distribution with cult indie-music label Drag City. In 2011, Michael wrote, directed, and starred in his third feature, SEPTIEN, which debuted at the 27th annual Sundance Film Festival before being acquired by IFC Films' Sundance Selects banner. A few years later, in 2014, Michael returned to Sundance with the world premiere of his fourth feature, PING PONG SUMMER, an ‘80s set coming-of-age tale that was quickly picked up for theatrical distribution by Gravitas Ventures. In 2018, Michael wrote and directed the dread-inducing genre film DON'T LEAVE HOME, which has been described as "Get Out with Catholic guilt in the Irish countryside" (IndieWire). The film premiered at SXSW and was subsequently acquired by Cranked Up Films and Shudder.
