(HOLLYWOOD PRESS CORPS) — Hollywood, CA — The Hollywood Press Corps covered the premiere of “Mr Hollywood” Andrew Yevish’s feature film Fake it til U make It aka FITUMI, along with his new short film Food for Thought on Saturday, Oct. 3rd, at the Harmony Gold Preview House, where the event was a packed house with around 300 people in attendance.
The evening also featured a red-carpet reception, live music, a cast and crew Q&A, and an afterparty.
A live band performed during the celebration, and Yevish joined the musicians onstage to sing his original theme song “Fake it til Ya Make it” for the audience.
Yevish, who directed and produced both projects, spent six years making “Fake It Till You Make It.” The film features Tom Sizemore in his final feature-film performance and follows an aspiring Hollywood filmmaker pursuing stardom while attempting to make a movie of his own.
“Food for Thought” stars Yevish, Kristine Kay Larsen, Janet Lopez, Sierra Storms, Evan Camacho, Natalie Lymor, Howie Walfish, John J. Barleycorn and David Moskowitz, and featured appearances by Lisa Anne Nicolai, Mir Waiss Najibi and Hollywood Press Corps own Dustin Brown. The light drama-comedy follows four couples whose conversations and conflicts reveal unexpected perspectives on relationships, identity and life.
A Q&A followed the screening, with cast and crew members discussing the film’s production and themes. Executive producer Mir Najibi praised the packed house of over 300 people and said he enjoyed the evening immensely.
Among those attending were reality star and personality Sonali Chandra aka Ms. Bollywood, plus the full cast and crew of Food for Thought along with many cast and crew members from Fake it til U Make It , who also made appearances on the red carpet. The event attracted producers, directors, actors and other entertainment professionals.
Both films were received very well as compliments and commendations and rounds of applause were routinely made by the audience of the packed theater.
Both films will be making the festival run and will have upcoming showings to be announced!
“Food for Thought” was produced in conjunction with Hollywood Press Corps’ Dustin Brown and Mir Waiss Najibi.
Asked how he felt the event went and what was next for him, Yevish responded “I was very pleased with every aspect of the event, and was enamored with the feedback I received. Next up for me is an Oct 22 premiere of Andrei Sporea’s campy Horror Comedy ‘Demon Fever’ where I play a lecherous aging rock star. I also have a few projects in the pipeline including a secret one that I am confident will be a big hit.”
Najibi and Janet Lopez are also releasing an exciting new movie called “Hospital Chaos” which will premiere shortly.
Hollywood Press Corps will be looking out for and keeping you informed about these new projects and more!
