So you're at Dragon*Con and you have your schedule all booked up with Star Trek panels and photo ops with Richard Dean Anderson but have you ever given a thought to the FILM track? All these great ideas for shows such as X Files and Eureka had to start from somewhere?
Welcome Owen's Hobby (trailer here). A movie about true love....no wait....a movie about a stalker...now that's more Dragon*Con style. A campy tale by Independant Film Director Zachary J. Burke about "abused mama's boy" Owen, the meticulous milk drinking accountant, who, unable to relate to people directly, with binoculars and notepad in hand, is relegated to watching the object of his affections from afar. And today, he watches helplessly as she is kidnapped and taken away by another. What will Owen do? Does he go after her and if he does can he save her? Will the fantasy live up to the reality if he does?
A cute romp that Dragon*Con goers will certainly be able to identify with, from the characterization of Owen, to his next stage, this film shows us how we see ourselves, and how others view us, even when we think we have hidden ourselves away.
Two tentacles up!
So on Friday night, just after the days events and just before Dragon*Con night life really kicks into gear, why not grab a drink, kick back and start the evening supporting Independent Films and see if even a stalker can find his inner hero. You won't be disappointed.
