Our short film “Stabbing Stupidity” has been accepted into the “Short Film Corner” at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival! The event runs concurrent with the main Festival and according to their official website is “an essential meeting place between directors and producers from both short and features films communities but also a place to discover new talents and to sell your films.”

This is an exciting turn of events, and we are thrilled to be able to display the Festival de Cannes seal on our film!

Here’s something cool I came across while surfing the old ‘Net this evening… our feature film The Falls is available right now on Google Video for $9.98. You get the first 30 seconds free, then you’ll have to pay for the rest.

The film is also available through NetFlix’s new “instant viewing” feature. Follow the link, and if you are a NetFlix member you can simply click the “Play” button. NetFlix’s instant viewing system produces a beautiful picture, one that easily rivals DVD quality over a broadband connection. Check it out - lots of movies are now available!

The 2007 Phoenix Film Festival came to a close last night after 8 days of screenings, parties, networking, and awards. Our 2 shorts “The Long Shot” and “Stabbing Stupidity” each screened one more time, on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. Not great times (9:20 pm both nights), but there was a really strong crowd for each film nevertheless. Once again, both films got a great reception, lots of laughs, and good feedback afterwards.

All in all, this was the best Phoenix Film Festival yet - both generally and personally. Getting that Copper Wing on Sunday was a career highlight. Now the rest of 2007 is going to have to be about building from that success and gathering the funding and momentum for another feature film. Stay tuned right here for all the developments - and thanks for your continued support!

Last night at the Phoenix Film Festival’s Copper Wing Awards, I took home the trophy for Arizona Filmmaker of the Year! I am so overwhelmed at this point… this is something I have wanted since The Falls was an official selection at the Festival in 2004.

Thanks so much to all of you who helped me get here. I could not have done it without you!

The awards ceremony was held after a sold-out screening of Arizona Shorts Program B - featuring our film “Stabbing Stupidity.” Great audience, lots of laughs, and once again, great feedback afterwards. We also had a morning screening of “The Long Shot” which went well despite the early hour.
