Two years ago we started shooting "Off the Grid: Life on the Mesa" (visit www.myspace.com/offthegridmovie) in a the middle of the desert in New Mexico. We followed a fringe community of teenage runaways, drifters and Gulf War vets who form a loose-knit community with no running water, no electricity, and no police, but whole lot of guns! And now we're here in Park City. It's a pretty strange juxtaposition.

We worked right up to the last possible second, putting the finishing touches on the film. Of course, we had the inevitable mini-nervous breakdown ("Is our film one frame out of SYNC!? Or are we totally delerious?...ANSWER: We're totally delerious)

When we got to Park City, our friends from New York immediately commenced postering duties, which we soon realized is kind of absurd in this town. RUTHLESS WE TELL YOU! It took about five minutes for all of our posters to get covered up...but we're still plugging away.

At the Slamdance opening night party, our number one poster aficianado and good friend, Rachel bonded with Allen Moyle, director of Weirdsville, Pump Up The Volume, and Empire Records, over their beautiful bald heads! Actually, there were a lot of bald beauties in the mix at the Slamdance party. The alopecias are on FIRE in 2007!

The next day we had our first Slamdance screening. We were so thrilled to see it projected on the big screen, with a wet audience. We wanted everything to be perfect. As the room started to fill up, we all got nervous and excited.

We sat in the back, praying that the film would be in sync, in focus, and get a great response.

No tomatoes were thrown at our heads! Success! We made it through our first screening and managed to survive. We took some excellent questions from the audience and then went to celebrate!

This morning we woke up to a call from Diana, our sales agent from Films Transit International with news that our film had been reviewed by John Anderson in Variety, and it was a great review. Our mother/consultant is kvelling back in New York.
