2010 SoHo International Film Festival Announces “Just Like Joe” as Official Opening Night Premiere!

Post-Film Q&A with director/writer Fred Carpenter & select members of the cast

New York, NY – (2/8/2010) – The inaugural 2010 SoHo International Film Festival - Presented by Made In New York and the Office of New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, will be held from February 18 – 21, 2010 in New York City.

The festival will open with Fred Carpenters drama “Just Like Joe” at the festival lofts theatre, 394 Broadway 4th Fl. New York, NY 10013, at 7:30 PM on February 21, 2010.

“Just Like Joe” is a poignant coming-of-age story that will touch your heart and bring you back to an era when Woodstock became legend and the Peace, Love and Rock 'N Roll generation was just starting out.

Set in the tumultuous year of 1969, the film follows the lives of three 17-year old, high school football players bonded by friendship and their compelling need to find their place in a rapidly changing world. Longing for a senior year filled with dating, the prom and football glory, their normal rites of passage run smack into the drama and uncertainty of the times - the military draft, evolving sexual mores, racial inequality and the possibly fighting in the Vietnam War.

“We are excited and honored to kick off the festival with Fred Carpenter’s feature film, Just Like Jeo” said, SIFFNYC co-founders Jorge Ballos and Luis Pedron, “SIFFNYC’s mandate is to discover new artists and provide a global platform to emerging independent filmmakers to showcase their creativity. Carpenter demonstrates is exceptional skill as a filmmaker in this heartfelt story.”
