A bunch of really great (and very funny) guys getting together for an Adrienne Shelly Foundation auction lunch which raised a bunch of dough. A huge thank you to Jon Harris for all that he does for ASF and for making this happen. And of course a big thanks to Jon Hamm and John Slattery for their continuous support of ASF...and to Matthew Weiner, Brian Williams, Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Jim Bell for helping make the event memorable. Andy Ostroy, founder/executive director, far right.

IFP presents the NYC premiere of ASF grantee Olivia Silver's ARCADIA at the ReRun Theater in Dumbo, Brooklyn from April 12-18. Starring Oscar nominee John Hawkes, ARCADIA won the Crystal Bear at the 2012 Berlin Film Festival and the Adrienne Shelly Foundation Production Grant at the Nantucket Film Festival, among other awards. Screenings will be followed by events all week long featuring lead actress Ryan Simpkins, The Low Anthem band member Jeff Prystowsky, award-winning producer Mynette Louie, and more. Please attend and also help spread the word!
