In fact, he's so cool he's even dissing his best friend. But trouble arrives when Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there's something not quite right-but everyone, including Charlie's mom (Toni Collette), doesn't notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an unmistakable conclusion: Jerry is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself in this Craig Gillespie-helmed revamp of the comedy-horror classic.
Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) is a high school senior who's on top of the world-that is until Jerry (Colin Farrell) moves in next door and Charlie discovers that he is a vampire preying on the neighborhood.

GIRLS WHO ROCK concert!
GIRLS WHO ROCK concert -- the "new kids" at Internet Week NY, an entire week of techy events and shows, last year, -- organized in two months and two days -- was the most surreal experience, and now we're BACK making plans for a bigger & better experience in support of girls and education in June 2011.
My background is from restauranteur, to journalist producer, to music manager to now law student and tech enthusiast and now co-creator of GIRLS WHO ROCK concert! I also serve as board member to She's the First, the nonprofit which GIRLS WHO ROCK supports by fundraising for girls' education, the goal is to help girls be the first in their families to graduate from school...maybe they'll become the first woman president, or first female doctor in their village. The possibilities are endless.
GIRLS WHO ROCK concert started out as a project between two strangers with a passion of collaboration and social justice. GIRLS WHO ROCK motto is "music is universal. Education should be too." That is where the concept for our signature benefit concert, GIRLS WHO ROCK, came from -- we presented seven recording artists (headlined by Kat DeLuna), and raised $6,000 to sponsor three girls in Tanzania, whom we maintain year-round correspondence with, which our blog and the attached document illustrate.(Short video here)
She's the First is committed to girls worldwide who are trying to break the poverty cycle by getting an education -- as you might have read in Half the Sky, when a girl is educated, there are so many positive correlations: she has fewer children, makes a higher income, improves her health, reduces her likelihood of an early and abusive marriage, etc.
The attached PDF will give you a full sense of what GIRLS WHO ROCK is about.

FILM SCREENING NUYORICAN DREAM
Taller Boricua and Arts Engine invite you to a film screening and post-film discussion Q & A with Nuyorican Dream Producer Katy Chevigny, Media Noche / PR Dream Founder and Director Judith Escalona and Arts Engine Filmmaker Services Manager Felix Endara THURSDAY, MAY 19, 6:30 - 9:00PM Event is FREE Please RSVP at contact@tallerboricua.org (82 minutes, 2000) Directed by: Laurie Collyer Produced by: Katy Chevigny, Laurie Collyer and Julia Pimsleur Associate Producer: Robert Torres Camera by: Aurora Agüero, Victoria Garza, Jaime Reyes Edited by: Allan Title Executive Produced by: John Leguizamo and Jellybean Benitez Nuyorican Dream chronicles the struggles and aspirations of a New York Puerto Rican family as they contend with the devastating effects of urban poverty. The film follows Robert Torres, Marta's eldest son and the only one of his family to finish high school and college. College was supposed to lead to the American Dream, but the experience of transcending class has had the result of alienating Robert from his family. The film captures harrowing images of a family in crisis. Sisters Beti and Tati struggle with devastating drug addictions, brother Danny spends half his life in prison, and mother Marta supports the entire extended family through welfare and selling homemade pasteles and used clothing on the street. What emerges most strongly about the Gutierrez family is the fierce love and support that sustains them. Nuyorican Dream is not just about "making it" in America, but about making it with the family intact. For additional information on the film visit http://www.bigmouthproductions.com/films/nuyorican_dream.html or Taller Boricua's website: www.tallerboricua.org ABOUT THE PARTICIPANTS: Katy Chevigny, Arts Engine's co-founder and senior director, is a documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur and nonprofit manager.
