Amid a 12-country, 35-city, 175-show virtual world tour (during a global pandemic), performance artist Brian Feldman produces, directs, and stars in a film adaptation of #txtshow, one of his signature projects, for the 2021 KC Virtual Fringe Festival. The world premiere is available on demand at KCFringe.org from July 18 - August 1, 2021.
#txtzero is an art film featuring a mysterious character named txt (pronounced “text”) who sits at a desk waiting for a script to arrive. Unlike all previous LIVE versions of #txtshow – (irl) and (on the internet) – this film contains zero audience interaction. But you can fast forward.
Based on running time rules and standards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, American Film Institute, and British Film Institute, #txtzero is Brian Feldman’s first feature film. It’s also his first film in 15 years.
Concurrent with this premiere, #txtshow, the critically acclaimed, award-winning performance art piece that it’s based on will be playing as part of the 2021 BorderLight Virtual Fringe Festival – performed LIVE from July 22-31. Tickets are available at www.borderlightcle.org and audiences are encouraged to view both works in order to compare and contrast.
This project was supported by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
