It’s been awhile since there’s been any sort of update on the film, mainly because there hasn’t been that much going on. After the private screening we’ve been laying low and taking a little break since there wasn’t much else to do. Now that we’re on to the marketing phase of the film, it’s not nearly as exciting as earlier production.

Jody packaged up a screener copy of the film and the application and sent it off to SIFF earlier this year and it’s been a waiting game ever since. In the meantime, we fired off applications to a number of other festivals including Port Townsend and Hollywood via the Without a Box website. These applications should give us a larger audience for selection and hopefully for viewing. And the more people that see it, the more likely that someone will purchase the film for distribution.

Still haven’t heard anything from our second round of festival applications, but we did hear back from SIFF last week. Unfortunately, we didn’t make the cut. I didn’t see the actual letter, but Bjorn indicated that it was like the standard college rejection letter. “You made a great film, but we had so many good entries this year, blah, blah, blah.” So now we’re just waiting for word from the others. We want everyone that was involved with the film in some way to be able to see it, so if we get accepted into another festival, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
