GEN ART 2009 FILM FESTIVAL VIDEO - OPENING NIGHT - LYMELIFE

Gen Art's 14th Annual Film Festival presented by Acura opened with a huge splash with the New York premiere of Lymelife. Joining the film director Derik Martini (and brother screenwriter Steven Martini) were the films' stars Alec Baldwin, Jill Hennessy, Kieran & Rory Culkin and Emma Roberts. The cast and a capacity crowd of 850+ braved April showers and a massive gauntlet of photographers and television crews that lined both the outside and interior of the SVA Theater in Chelsea. Guests were treated to cocktails courtesy of Three Olives Vodka and Dos Equis beer prior to the start of the premiere.

Also in attendance of the premiere was Katrina Bowden (supporting her fellow 30 Rock cast mate), brother Stephen Baldwin, Mizou Peck (A Night at the Museum I & II), Tamara Feldman (Gossip Girl), Bree Williamson (One Life to Live), IMG Model Mallory June (also in festival short film), Kristina Klebe (Peter and Vandy) and many others.

The festivities continued at The Park until 1am with over 1,000 guests and most of the films cast staying until closing time.
