Since my screening, the past few days have been a blur of meetings, finally seeing some other films, doing some press interviews, going to some parties. In reading the other filmmaker blogs, I am identifying with some of their frenzied feelings -- hard to put into words in a blog the whole range of thoughts, emotions, anxieties, etc. that are pulsing through the mind and body now. But here’s a few quick thoughts:
After doing a few more press interviews, I no longer feel like I’m going to throw up at the thought of answering questions about my film … which by the way screens again this Friday, Jan. 27 at 6:00 p.m. at the Slamdance venue, Treasure Mountain Inn on Main Street for all y’all still in Park City!
I am needing to start the poster brigade again … it’s every person/film for him/herself out there when it comes to postering …so many posters, so little space, it’s brutal.
The party thing I haven’t quite gotten the hang of … been to a few, often wind up talking to the people I already know (I’m a little shy …), but have met some cool people. Went to a cool, laid back party at the Rooftop Films/ Shooting People condo the other night (cool people who do cool work, check them out). I am including a separate entry after this one (I can't figure out how to do both photos and writing at the same time) that has a photo of the Austin contingent at the Slamdance/Maryland Film Commission brunch the other day (it will be me, Spencer Parsons, Paul Gordon and the Maryland crab). Apparently, I missed a strong Austin contingent showing at the annual Slamdance sled-off yesterday … I heard they won the spectacle award … photos to follow on that as well ...
ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL my peeps who wrote encouraging comments before my first screening ... it meant a lot!! it's nice to know I have such a great community (Austin, Texas) to go back to when I leave Park City!
