Film by Emmy Award winner Sebastian  Conley chosen as official selection  

NEW YORK, NY (May 11, 2010) – Sebastian Conley’s "Colin Hearts Kay" was chosen as an official selection at this year's Brooklyn International Film Festival, and will have its world premiere there. "I’m very proud of my cast and crew for working so hard for so long for so little to bring this film to life. It really was a labor of love for all concerned. And I’m proud of what we pulled off", said Sebastian Conley.

Noah Starr, a regular on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and “The Late Show with David Letterman” and Emmy award winning actress Emily Chang star as title characters Colin and Kay, in this groundbreaking independent romantic comedy with an innovative blend of animation and live action by first time feature film writer and director, Emmy award winner, Sebastian Conley.

“Colin Hearts Kay”, produced by The Conley Brothers and Got Lucky Pictures, set in Brooklyn, New York, tells a hilarious story through the memories of cartoonist Colin Jensen, as he tries to uncover what went wrong in his three year relationship with Kay Ho. Colin’s pursuit of love suffers a setback when the handsome and rich, Salvatore appears in Kay’s life. Colin and Salvatore’s rivalry culminates in a live-action and animated gladiator fight set in a hand drawn cartoon of the Roman Coliseum. Ultimately, it is up to Colin to erase the mistakes of his past and draw upon the lessons learned to win back Kay’s love.

The non-linear story, an ode to Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall”, is illustrated through a comic style combining direct address, fantastical special effects, and animation, created solely by director, Sebastian Conley, as Colin draws the audience into the world of his cartoon drawings. Despite an extremely modest budget, the filmmakers managed to pull off extravagant special effects. Animated flying cartoon hearts and transitions unify the action and present an entirely new visual look that is at once captivatingly imaginative and path breaking.

Relying on the latest technology was central to this effort by Sebastian, and brother Ben Conley, the director of Photography. “Colin Hearts Kay” was shot on the transformative CANON 5D Mark II digital still SLR camera. This brand new technology allowed the filmmakers to capture cinematic High Definition, with an unprecedented shallow depth of field, giving the film a high quality 35mm look.

The film has original music provided by twelve Brooklyn based bands. These brand new songs embody the love, longing and humor of the film’s characters. The wonderful and upbeat soundtrack of “Colin Hearts kay” is sure to capture the imagination of moviegoers and make it a cult favorite.

“Colin Hearts Kay” is a new brand of romantic comedy, shot entirely in Brooklyn, which is sure to win the hearts of young audiences everywhere, hungry for a film that speaks to the zeitgeist of a new generation.

“We could not have hoped for a better place to premiere this little gem than Brooklyn. Brooklyn will love it, just as we love Brooklyn. Its all about love,” said Nitin Madan of Got Lucky Pictures who, along with partner Daniel Scot Kadin produced “Colin Hearts Kay”.
