The event will feature the awards ceremony with special celeb appearances, including Moby's presentation of best use of music in one of the 7 features and Laura Breckinridge (most recently seen as the scandalous teacher on Gossip Girl) will present the Stargazer Award.  Then cut loose with music and pole dance lessons sponsored by Crunch.  And you can win too - Acura will give away a trip for two to the Gen Art Chicago Film Festival this June!

NIGHT SEVEN // FEATURE FILM

Finding Bliss

Directed by: Julie Davis

Starring: Leelee Sobieski, Matthew Davis, Donnamarie Recco, Denise Richards, Kristen Johnston, Jamie Kennedy

When Jody (Sobieski) wins the top filmmaker award at her NYU graduation, she heads to Hollywood to fulfill her dream of becoming a director. She soon discovers that moviemaking opportunities are few and far between, and she takes her only offer: editing “adult entertainment.”

But when porn director Jeff Drake (Davis) discovers she is secretly using his studio after hours for her own project, they both learn that love can indeed grow in the most unlikely places.  www.juliedavisonline.com
