Hi there,...
I just wanted to say something about the festivals. We have had no luck so far getting in however here's an indication of the difficulty of getting a feature lo-lo-budgeter into a festival of any repute. We must have done well at one... the Monaco Independent Film Festival. I was contacted by their organiser and asked to be a judge and I can only say it was on the merits of our film. We were one film away I think from getting in but being asked to be a judge was a great honour especially if you look up who was a judge last year and who will be this year. There were complications and I couldn't confirm and so they had to get someone else. We have been attempting to get in strong festivals and we are up against hundreds and hundreds of films. inde films of million budgets with famous people in them or from exotic places. It's hard not to be dissappointed but that is the unfortunate situation. But our film was super and is super and will cause ripples one day I am sure of it. It is good, it would just help to be famous for it to be given it's true due.
Andso I am just informing you all that we do get reckognised and our film was quoted as looking a quarter of a million to £300,000 budget not bad for a £3000 film.
I have been told that i can send it to Wim Wenders company and the BBC are watching it presently. Slowly it is being watched by fucking cool people.
Now to sleepy world and if you want your three copies that I promised the hub group you give me a shout and I'll get them to you and youcould send them to your idols or friends...
And... Eventually,... Nik we'll get our coffee ;)
