Okay, so I've avoided the word "mockumentary" in interviews about The Green Chain -- but please don't tell the lovely people at Mockfest in Los Angeles where the movie makes its LA premiere this Sunday at 3 pm at the Hollywood Vine Theatre -- 6321 Hollywood Blvd.

So why have I avoided the "m" word? Because The Green Chain is a lot of things, but This Ain't Spinal Tap... What's exciting about Mockfest is they get that doc style films don't have to be comedies to work.

If you're in Los Angeles be sure to check out our LA premiere.

And if you know someone in Los Angeles, be sure to send this their way!

Here's the scoop on Mockfest:

MOCKFEST 2008 FESTIVAL INFORMATION
