John Hartman's œPlanet Diva will be making its Austin premiere during the Reel Fest Road Show being held at the Spider House Ballroom on Sunday, March 3, at about 10 pm.

About "Planet Diva"

Ten years after a chemical war changes most women into divas (and most men into their subservients), a few REEL men and women confront this global domination by seeking the powers of Gaia (Mother Earth) to harmonize the planet.

œPlanet Diva was an official selection of the Pollygrind Film Festival 2012. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIDZygj0LOU

About John Hartman

In an effort to offer an alternative to the mainstream, Massachusetts-based visual artist and filmmaker John Hartman of reelgroovyfilms.com, likes to take viewers through a groovy and dark tunnel before arriving at a positive solution. Hartman, a master of location with an eye for color and unique angles, works in digital and film formats, both long and short form, experimental, documentary, and narrative. Short super 8mm films are his favorite medium, and he prefers to work with non-actors--the more alternative, the better.
