Chad Riden to cover Nashville Film Festival 2011 in 3D for NaFF TV

Founded in 1969 as the Sinking Creek Film Celebration and one of the longest-running film festivals in the country, the Nashville Film Festival (NaFF) is hosted by the Regal Green Hills Stadium 16. This annual mid-Tennessee film event attracts enthusiastic film lovers from the region and has been praised by filmgoers and filmmakers alike for its unique combination of big city film festival atmosphere and southern hospitality.

April 14-21 NashvilleStandUp’s Chad Riden will be working for the NaFF as the jackass comedian correspondent for the NaFF TV Team. He’ll be filming a lot of idiotic hijinks and whatnot all throughout the festival – interviewing people, pretending to know anything about film and trying to figure out how much he can get away with given only a laminate and a camera crew.

To kick things off, Riden spent Friday night / April Fool’s Day on Broadway shooting a bunch of man on the street interviews in 3D. He talked to a lot of tourists and a few locals about movies, cowboy hats, party buses, drinking and country music. Chad got a lot of really funny footage.. and cobbled together a short little teaser called “Welcome To Nashville.”

It’s in 3D, but it’s funny even if you don’t have the glasses:

Even without the 3D glasses Riden looks amazingly life-like!

More of these are on the way. BTW, complimentary NaFF TV 3D Glasses will be available at the NaFF BOX OFFICE beginning Thursday, April 14th at 4:00PM.
