The Philippine-Korean-Iraqi 16mm short film "Technophilia" will have a screening at "RAW: Las Vegas Presents Fusion" on Aug. 25, 2011 (Thursday) at Tommy Rocker's in Las Vegas. If you're in the Vegas area on the said date, you're invited to come to the event and support local artists. You can buy tickets through this link. Buying ahead of time will only cost $10 for a night of film, music performances, photography, mixed media, and performance art exhibitions, and fashion show.
"Technophilia" will start the showcase at 8:30 p.m. For more information about the film, you can check out the: trailerfilm stillsbehind-the-scene photos, and film blog. This film is produced by Colorwheel Media Studios through the help of the Korean Film CouncilKorean Academy of Film Arts, and Korea University.
Synopsis
Inside a hangout place, the game addict boyfriend gets boxed up by his techie lifestyle, which further alters his relationship with his already fed-up girlfriend. Things become more and more mechanical as they move on.
More About RAW Artists Events
You can also check out the video of last month's "RAW: Las Vegas Presents Illuminare" for an idea of what's to come for the next showcase. You can also view videos of other RAW Artists events: "RAW: Los Angeles Presents Incite" and "RAW: New York Presents Artcade." 
What is RAW?
RAW: natural born artists is an independent arts organization, for artists, by artists.
Our mission is to provide independent artists of all creative genres with the tools, resources, and exposure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity. RAW educates emerging artists through seminars, workshops, and insights to further knowledge of their industries.
RAW connects them with one another so that they may grow together, while also providing them with opportunities to give back to their own local youth communities through the arts.
We encourage the creative success of the many visionaries and storytellers of our generation.
Grassroots Showcase Events
RAW handpicks and spotlights local artistic talents in film, fashion, music, visual art, hair and makeup artistry, and performance art. With artists from all genres in each showcase, RAW events come together to form an amazing circus of creativity.
What Can You Expect when Attending the RAW Showcase?
We screen an independent film (usually a short, webisode, or music video), a fashion show from an up-and-coming local designer, a musical performance, an art gallery featuring several independent visual artists, and performance art (comedy/dance/fire dancers, you name it...). You'll get a little taste of everything. Combine all this creativity with drinks, fun, and good company! To partake in the experience, RSVP ($10/ticket) in the "Showcases" section of the event.
