The 2008 CineVegas Film Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary June 12th – June 21st at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

CineVegas will be book ended by two fantastic films. Opening night will feature Peter Catteneo’s comedy “The Rocker” starring Rainn Wilson (also known as Dwight Schrute on NBC’s “The Office”) portraying a washed up drummer that joins a high school rock band.

Don’t burn out too early or you will miss the festival close featuring “The Great Buck Howard”, directed by Sean McGinly. This is the story of a law school drop out that answers an ad looking for a “personal assistant to a celebrity performer”.

In between, there are 124 films in 16 categories and offers something everyone. This line up includes a wide variety of genres that will feature festival favorites, world premieres, and new yet to be discovered gems.

Matt O’Brien and I will be in town from Thursday 6/13 through Wednesday 6/18. If you’re coming to Vegas, let us know.

This will be helpful after your eyes are bleary from the all-nighter you pulled at the Blackjack table and your ears are ringing from the constant sound of the slot machines. You will thank us later.
