Colin's movie "Careless" will have its premiere at the CineVegas Film Festival on June 9th !
movie summary from the website of the festival:
An offbeat love story featuring an exuberantly charming cast, CARELESS proves that the romantic comedy genre in independent film isn’t dead…it’s just missing a finger.
Wiley Roth (Colin Hanks) finds a severed human finger in his kitchen one night. Understandably freaked out, Wiley and his best friend Mitch (Fran Kranz) set out across Los Angeles trying to solve the mystery of the finger. Along the way they come in contact with psychics, ineffectual police, crooked taxidermists, mysterious neighbors who might be drug dealers, and a nine-fingered woman named Cheryl (Rachel Blanchard) who might, improbably, be the girl of Wiley’s dreams.
Hanks shines in the lead role by using his distinctive delivery and impeccable timing to fashion himself an everyman looking for love in all the wrong places. Notable supporting roles enhance the quest, especially Tony Shalhoub as Hanks’ gruff but caring father and Blanchard as the enchanting nine-fingered mystery woman. First time feature director Peter Spears shows a refreshingly subtle comedic touch and transforms an outrageous premise into a disarmingly sweet and funny tale. CARELESS is a fun ride and marks the emergence of a talented new voice.

A friend works at a clothing store in LA, and this month she said some scruffily dressed guy was trying on all these pairs of shoes and couldn't decide what he was going to buy, so then he said "Hold on, I'm gonna go get my dad, he'll help me." ... and then in walked his dad... Tom Hanks lmao! Then it hit her that he had kinda looked familiar and was like OMG you're Alex!... and he laughed! lol

I know this was posted months ago but I just had to make the comment: First of all, your friend is a lucky, lucky girl! And secondly, THAT above is the only reason I'd work in a shoe store! LOL

I just finished watching "Alone with Her." I had to get in through Netflix because Blockbuster didn't have it, and let me tell you, it totally creeped me out!!!
Colin did such a wonderful job!!! I didn't think "There's Alex!" one time. It was a great movie in an Indy kind of way, and my niece had to sleep with the lights on that night!
