MITC receives highest marks at Stony Brook Film Festival

"Man in the Chair" received the highest marks in winning the Audience Award at the 12th Annual Stony Brook Film Festival. Below is a letter that was written by festival director Alan Inkles to MITC director Michael Schroeder.


Dear Michael,

Thank you again for sharing your amazing film, Man In The Chair with my audience last week at the 12th Annual Stony Brook Film Festival. The film was tremendously well received as was your exciting Q&A following the film with Christopher Plummer and Emmet Walsh.

As I mentioned, your film received one of the highest marks from the audience in our twelve-year history and your five-minute standing ovation was the first ovation we’ve received for a screening in six years and certainly the longest in our twelve-year history.

In a field of exceptional films and high marks from the audience, Man In The Chair was the clear winner, receiving a 1.22 rating (with 1.0 being the highest possible rating) from an audience of over 1,020 with 758 patrons voting. 627 of these individuals gave Man In The Chair a vote of Excellent (1) and represented the highest percentage of excellent votes in our history.

People continued to talk about your film all week and the joy from the audience as your film was announced as The Audience Choice Winner at the Closing Night Awards Reception, was a clear indication that they got it right.

We were so honored to have your film at Stony Brook this year and delighted to have met your team. We greatly appreciated the first New York screening and the opportunity to have you and the tremendously talented cast members at our screening. Man In The Chair will stand out as a Stony Brook Film Festival highlight for many years to come.

I wish you great success with the upcoming theatrical release and you can count on my staff and I to support this film in any way we can.


Most sincerely yours,


Alan Inkles, Director
Stony Brook Film Festival

MITC heats up at the Berlin Film Festival

The A - List

Ten titles likely to heat up chilly Berlin
By Scott Roxborough

Schroeder's "Man," which screens in Berlin's Generation 14plus section, has all the makings of an indie sleeper hit. Christopher Plummer is already generating strong Internet buzz for his performance as a geriatric Hollywood gaffer who gets one last chance to work on a movie set when a teenage film buff asks him for help.

Plummer Stars in Poignant Pic

There are all sorts of fun discoveries hidden in the nooks and crannies of the Berlinale. After all, there are more than 1,000 pics being screened -- 373 in the official competitive sections, and the rest in the adjoining European Film Market.One that went over well in the Generations 14+ section, (whatever that means), was "Man in the Chair," directed by American Michael Schroeder. He said that at some point he decided he'd had enough of making horror movies, and wanted to deal with more relevant themes. This one is about how we treat the elderly in America and it stars Christopher Plummer. A few folks had tears in their eyes after the screening.(E Guider)
