What a Summer.
And this week, fall begins.
It's been some time since I've been able to write anything. So much going on.
Our 2 new short films are taking the independent film world by storm. DOCKERY & SON had it's World Premiere in Arizona back in January; and has screened over 20 film festivals worldwide so far this year. This weekend, it's screening in Birmingham at the Sidewalk Film Festival.
Our newest film, the documentary short film HOLLYWOOD GALS had its World Premiere the beginning of this month in Iowa at the Snake Alley Film Festival and won Runner Up, Best Documentary Film. This month, it's screened festivals in Iowa, Oregon and Indiana. Next month, HOLLYWOOD GALS screens in California; DOCKERY & SON in California; THE ACCEPTABLE SIN at 2 festivals in India; and October and November has screenings already lining up for our films!!! Screenings already lined up in Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma and India. With more to come.
Last week, we got HOLLYWOOD GALS off to Sundance. And weekly, receive about 15 to 20 invitations from film festivals from around the world to submit our films.
I love being a truly independent underground filmmaker.
