Hey, I think I got into another film festival
I was running around the house the other day and glanced quickly at my emails. I didn’t have time to sit down and dive in. Later I mentioned to Kate a heading that caught my eye.
Me: “Hey I think I got into another film festival!” Kate: “Which one?”
I had to admit I didn’t look closely enough at the email. I just knew by the heading that it wasn’t one of those emails…the rejection emails. I can spot those a mile away. So I went downstairs and logged on and finally looked at the message.
Congratulations! Your film, Breaking News Breaking Down, has been selected.
I stopped right there, and thought, wait a minute it hasn’t been selected for a film festival it has been accepted for an award. The honor is in the short documentary category and the contest is the Moving Pictures Film Contest of 2009. I read on….I won’t bore you with the entire note. but I did happen to like this particular section.
Out of over one-hundred and seventy submissions, Moving Pictures perceived your film to contain the best quality through subjects such as directing, cinematography, sound, editing, story, and character.
The prizes include coverage on their website and an invitation to the Contest Winners Award Party at Slamdance 2010 in January. Slamdance and Sundance are held at the same time in the same city. So that means a trip to Park City Utah. Of course the icing on the cake would be if the film screened at either of those festivals. That would be nice. I’m already pulling out the parka and getting ready to make the trek. Who wouldn’t?
