Still really busy and I won an award!
Again, another long time has passed and with good reason. I've been really busy working on the A Thousand Words: Bloodline promotion and festivals. We won best horror short at the Indie Gathering and this past weekend I traveled to Cleveland for the film fest/convention. I was invited to speak on a couple panels about Filmmaking and the Internet and then on Low/No budget Filmmaking. I also got to attend the award ceremony but missed my screening because I was on panel at 10am.The whole thing was a great experience. Though most of the things going on that I was interested in took place with several hours between them I still enjoyed getting to meet people and talk to some of the other good people in attendence. I wish I would have been able to go up on Friday or even Saturday to enjoy some of the other cool stuff like the networking party, but at least I got a taste of what these things are like.
The vendor area was not as active on Sunday as it had been earlier in the weekend but I still got to see some cool makeup FX being applied to people and I got to see some trailers for upcoming movies as well as talk to some people there about their movies and look over some pretty cool marketing/promo materials.
Coming home with that award has left me with a really good feeling. Even if it's the only one I ever win for this movie I'm really happy about it because someone recognized the work we all put into the production and it shows we have come to the next level of our filmmaking trek.
The fact that I was asked to speak on a couple panels was really very cool. This says a lot to me that someone respects that I bring some knowledge with me from my experience with the things I was asked to speak about. I have to really appreciate Johnny Wu for this weekend and also Ray Szuch for the great thing he's done with the Indie Gathering. I really can't thank these guys enough for this, I try but can't find the right words to honor what it means to me.
In two weeks we have a festival in Louisville KY, the Fright Night Film Fest, and we're not sure if we will be going or not. I'd like to at least go down Saturday for the screening of the movie, but who knows. I've just spent two weekends in a row busy traveling and I'm quite ready to just have a weekend to chill. My weeks are flying by so fast and now I have a bunch of work to do here at home until this coming weekend. Who knows what will crop up between now and then too.
Anyway, if I can get in a site update I will, otherwise it might be another while before I can even look at what's here.
