Surviving eden Michael Panes, Cheri Oteri, Peter Dinklage, Jane Lynch, Sam Robards, Savannah Haske, John Landis
Over-weight and unattractive convenience store clerk Dennis Flotchky’s life is turned up-side-down when he wins a million dollars on America’s most popular reality TV show, "Surviving Eden."
Thrust into an unwanted spotlight, good-natured Dennis slowly transforms into a Hollywood monster, addicted to fame and forgetting he only has "15 minutes." But when the clock is up on his time in the limelight, Dennis has hit rock bottom.
Chicago-born writer/director, Greg Pritikin inherited a love of film from his father, who had an extensive collection of 16mm film prints. Pritikin watched them all, and began making his own 8mm films at the age of seven. Pritikin entered the world of independent filmmaking in 1998 with his first feature, Totally Confused, co-written and co-directed with a childhood friend. Soon after, Pritikin wrote and directed his second film, Dummy, which opened the MIFF in 2003. A comedy about a dysfunctional family, the film starred Adrien Brody, Milla Jovovich and Illeana Douglas and opened in theaters in the fall of 2003. Not a fan of music videos, Pritikin occasionally directs them. Pritikin has won several awards including "Best Director/Best Feature" at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and Filmmaker Magazine’s "New Faces in Film."
