Inspired by a chance meeting in a hotel lobby that stirred up one of Perry\u2019s favorite lines from Hemingway\u2019s classic \u201cA Moveable Feast\u201d &#8212; \u201cShe was very pretty with a face fresh as a newly minted coin if they minted coins in smooth flesh with rain-freshened skin, and her hair black as a crow&#8217;s wing and cut sharply and diagonally across her cheek,\u201d &#8212; the film captures the spirit of San Francisco as seen through Perry\u2019s eyes that day: wet, ephemeral and very much alive. Famed UK music journalist Alex Faulkner has compared Jour Majesty\u2019s music to the \u201crootsy Americana\u201d of The Band as well as more modern artists, such as Ryan Adams.<\/p>\n<p>The organic result of Perry\u2019s successful commercial career in film and audio engineering, combined with his band Jour Majesty\u2019s many recent successes, \u201cEmpty Box of Wine\u201d sparks a captivating conversation about the fleeting infatuations that compose the days, months and years of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival will run July 21 through the 23rd; screenings will be held at the Roxie Theater located at 3125 16th St. SF, CA.
