Found out on Tuesday that my movie, "Trampoline" was one of the 3880 entries to SXSW that DID NOT get into the festival. So I that sux. We were really counting on that to be our festival. So I a bit bummed out by that. On a positive note, I started work on a hollywood independent that started production last week in Hopkins, "the Convincer". I am the propmaster on the job. Till next time.

This week

This week I have applied to the LOS ANGELES film Festival, HOT DOCS and SILVERDOCS. I have the postage stamp strategy for the film. I need to keep pluggin away. Had a great old friend over last nite, Catherine. She's from New New York and she was in town with her little girl. It was so sweet to see them all. If your in New York sometime check out her band the Quavers,

Looks like she is the closest I am getting to Sundance this year, as the quavers are performing there for Sam Greens new film on Utopia. So if youre in Utah, check them out.

oh yeah, wish me luck on the these submissions. Till next time.
