   The New Year Parade's Blurbs
About me:
When Mike and Lisa separate, their children suffer quietly. Sixteen-year-old Kat believes the will reconcile and keeps the situation secret. As months pass and tensions mount, she becomes isolated between family and friends with no one to confide in. Meanwhile, Jack is forced to mediate between parents and carry the family finances. While his mom avoids confrontation, their dad works to lead his string band to victory in Philadelphia’s annual Mummer’s Parade. A band member himself, Jack questions his loyalty as his parents’ actions wear on his own relationship. The New Year Parade is a unique discovery film, mixing actors and non-actors, documentary footage and fiction, to take a closer look at how divorce can effect young people.

film reviews

"Scenes don’t have obvious in and out points, but instead seem sampled from lives that continue when the cameras stop rolling...truly unforgettable...."

- VARIETY

"Tom Quinn makes a stunning debut with this sterling observation of a brother and sister pair straining under the pressures of their parents’ divorce. Quinn has a calculated, Altman-esque approach to staging conflict. Because it functions as a wise examination of universal human despair, “The New Year Parade” proves that keen observation of human behavior yields the strongest results."

- INDIEWIRE

"The New Year Parade brims with wonderful glimpses of spaces the cinema rarely visits....with its flat narrative, subtle sensitivity to class, gently crafted performances by non or marginal actors and its rough hewn yet entirely appropriate hand held camerawork, does many of the things American Independent films have traditionally done well."

Hey! How's it going? It's getting hot outside and it's time for indie films. This month I'm promoting this Indie Film - "Gentleman's Choice - The Chris Adams Story" - a hard hitting documentary on the tragic death of a sports entertainer. Watch it online ($5) or buy the DVD at http://gentleman.eyesoda.com Gentleman's Choice: The Chris Adams Story Trailer

I really liked "Head Trauma" and I am usually very critical of "it was all sort of in his head" scenarios but "HT" totally nailed it, intelligently and with exquisite visuals.

Hey, you, sir, have a lot of balls to juggle these days, Mr. Face To Watch! Did I recently see your name in the credits of "Head Trauma"? I will message you with information about where to send a screener.

Wow, thank you! I've just started submitting to festivals so hopefully it makes it your way. I'm just not too sure how much they'll like a 21 minute short built mostly from long static takes.

Oh, and The New Year Parade looks beautiful. When it hits Toronto or Dvd (whichever first), I'll be there.

Yes, "Ginger Snaps" does rock (even if it actually falls apart at the end)
and Katharine Isabelle actually said that she'd be in a film of mine that never happened. What is next for "NYP"? If you want, I can review it for IndieTalk.com

Hey, what's this business about you being a "first time" film-maker? I seem to remember 7 years worth of you working on your first film. Does the film industry not recognize gala premiers at the County Theater in Doylestown, PA? Anyway, Congratulations to "experienced film-maker" Tom Quinn!
