Local filmmaker scores a hit at film competition

Joe Ostrica couldn’t have asked for a better response at the world premiere for
his directorial debut “Guys.” Selected to compete at last weekends Indie
Gathering, a Cleveland film festival that features films from all over the
country, Ostrica scored a hit with both audiences and jury members.

“Guys” won first place for Best Short Film Comedy. On the closing day of the
festival, Ostrica picked up a second award for Viewer’s Choice, which is given
out to the most popular overall film at the festival.

“I couldn’t have imagined a better outcome and response than what we had this
weekend,” Ostrica said. “I was just thrilled to be premiering my movie in
Cleveland and to walk away with two awards is amazing. 

“Not only was it loved by other filmmakers, it was loved by the viewers, which
means a lot to me. It was the most buzzed about movie at the fest and they had
to keep adding additional screenings because of popular demand. I had some
people come up to tell me they saw it four times. It was a terrific weekend to
say the least.”

“Guys,” which runs 26-minutes and was shot entirely in Lakewood, follows four
best friends in their mid-20s for a night out on the town after one of them
announces he has just been engaged to be married.

“I figured male viewers would like it, but I was pleased to find women liked it
too,” Ostrica said. “They say they recognize a part of some of their male
friends or relatives in the characters. A lot of what these guys talk about is
way over the top too, but women seem to like seeing guys makes fools of
themselves, especially in an entertaining funny manner.”

Ostrica, who wrote, produced and directed the film said it was important to have
his local project premiere locally. His production company, 216 Films (named
after Cleveland’s area code) is primarily interested in working with local
talent in front of the camera and behind the scenes. 

“We know there is a lot of talent in the area,” Ostrica said. “They just need
the opportunity and we like giving those talented, passionate people a chance.
Having our movie premiere here was an honor and I’m thrilled with the great
response we’ve gotten. 

"A big special thanks must go out to Ray Szuch and his amazing staff who worked 
so hard to make the Indie Gathering a smash hit. Their dedication is helping unite 
Cleveland filmmakers and the acting community to create some amazing work.”

Ostrica plans to submit “Guys” to other film festivals around the country. He is
currently looking for investors for his upcoming projects and preparing to
release “Guys” on DVD with plenty of special features.
