Hi Everyone,
I wanted to take the time today and send out a quick update letting you all know how things have been going.
While final vfx and the end credits sequence are being completed by our visual effects team, I have began the process of submitting the film to film festivals.
We are currently submitted to 16 major film festivals across the globe (USA, Canada & UK). I think it is important to have a strong festival presence with this project so I am also planning to submit to another 15 as the year continues on and other majors open up. Please let me know if any of you have any direct or indirect connects to certain film festivals that we should capitalize on. Here is a complete list of our current submissions list.
-Toronto International Film Festival
-Boston Jewish Film Festival
-Chicago International Film Festival
-Atlantic Film Festival
-AFI Film Festival
-Austin Film Festival
-San Diego Film Festival
-Vancouver Film Festival
-Hamptons Film Festival
-Raindance Film Festival
-Leeds International Film Festival
-Heartland Film Festival
-Hawaii International Film Festival
-Hot Springs Film Festival
-Festival De Cinema Montreal
-Doc NYC Film Festival
If any of you are apart of or connected to a congregation, school or organization that you think might be interested in hosting a screening after we premier sometime late this year then please reach out. Welcoming all screening ideas and possibilities.
On a side note I have been looking into swag gear such as the specialty hats and t-shirts which will be coming soon. I am booked to go see Max & Rena later this month and show then the final product. As a special surprise I will be secretly filming their reactions to watching the film for the first time which will be used as a bonus feature on the DVD. This footage I will share with you all when I return.
Thank you all again for your continued support. Looking forward to keeping you all in the loop as we press on.
Much Love,
Josh
