ONE DAY MINI-FILM FESTIVAL

3rd screening event for the Gorilla Film Troupe Conspiracy takes
place at San Francisco nightclub, May 21st 2006.


SAN FRANCISCO, CA (May 2nd, 2006): The Gorilla Film Troupe Conspiracy
(GFTC) is proud to present its first One Day Mini-Film Festival. The
event will be held on May 21st at Club Hide -280 Seventh Street and
will feature short films from local Bay Area filmmakers as well as
assorted shorts from MySpace Filmmakers from around the world. The
screenings are open to the public, admission $3, doors open at 3pm.

"The idea behind the Gorilla Film Troupe Conspiracy is to provide a
forum for independent filmmakers, which will allow them to discuss,
network and screen newly created works - this One Day Mini-Film
Festival also affords us the opportunity to take a moment and discuss
each film as they are screened, giving the audience and filmmakers
alike a chance to go behind the scenes and see what it takes to make
a film," stated Sinohui Hinojosa, Event Producer for the GFTC.

The founder of the group, James Erd a seasoned local filmmaker
plainly states his reasons for starting the group, "hellipto
facilitate bringing a group of talented individuals together, who
share a passion for making films. This group serves as the hub for
people to meet in the real world over coffee, tea or other drink of
choice, and conspire to make films that matter. There must be a
gazillion film groups where people talk about their favorite films,
directors, actors, etc. There is nothing wrong with that but this is
the place to be if you want to actually get involved in the process
of making a film." Recent films created by the various teams will be
screened at this event as well.

According to Mr. Hinojosa, the monthly event screenings of the
Gorilla Film Troupe Conspiracy have expanded from San Jose State
University to other venues, "Each month we work on a new directive
which details our next film project: this time it's a 5 minute short
film with an additional 2-3 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage,"
the next event is set for June in Oakland, CA.

Q&A's with the filmmakers will highlight the screenings and Club Hide
will be offering a GFTC drink special ($8 Beer Bust - all night
microbrews) to benefit the group.
