 LOS ANGELES, CA. (Luck Media & Marketing, Inc.)-Canadian-born, Las Vegas-based rocker Evan Page has not only caught the attention of her 20,000+ MySpace "friends" but now the eyes and ears of the New York Short-Short Film Festival where her debut single video for "Next Ex" has been chosen to be screened. The festival will be held at the Anthology Film Archives in Lower Manhattan on Saturday, May 20th. You can watch the video here www.myspace.com/evanpagemusic. Since she put it up last fall, Page's MySpace page (no pun intended) has been, in her words, "beyond ridiculous," scoring over 21,000 hits (and counting) by fans who can't get enough of the song and video for "Next Ex," the tough minded, edgy yet humorous first single from her fully DIY, seven song debut project No Ordinary Girl. Traffic has gotten so heavy on the site that Page hired a team to manage it. The overwhelming response - which includes airplay on college radio stations in Washington and Oregon - has led to quick sales of over 6,000 units of the album. The song's popularity is due to its tremendous, built-in appeal to girls of all ages - its hook asks, "Do you want to be my next ex-boyfriend?" - as well as its crossover attraction to guys who relate to the tomboy elements of Page's personality. The song's elaborately produced video, which was directed by Dave Swuz of Springfield Films - best known for the popular indie film "Stealing God" - incorporates scenes of the singer indulging in her love of hockey, which she has played for over 10 years.
