With DEADLY REVISIONS, we threw “normal” out the window.
Months before
the actual film would go into production, we had created a one minute trailer
for DEADLY REVISIONS: a short introductory
piece to entice viewers, build a following and hopefully gain us a few
investors, corporate sponsors and/or angels.
With a little effort and a lot of alacrity, we trimmed the trailer to
the required 30-second length and entered it in to Filmbreak’s “snipler”
contest--the winners of which would have the honor of being part of the New
Media Film Festival and be premiered on the big screen.
To our delight,
we were chosen as one of only three winners.
So, while normally being part of a film festival occurs after a film is
completed, we were now a part of a festival before ever going into
production! Producer Roxy Shih and I
went to the festival at the Landmark Theatre to see our trailer on the big
screen and were delighted to see that, thanks in great part to our Director of
Photography Kate Sobol, it looked fantastic.
We also took part in a short Q&A session immediately following alongside
Darren Marble and Taylor McPartland of Filmbreak.com.
So we may not
have begun principal shooting yet, but we’ve already been an official selection
in our first film festival. Nice way to
get the ball rolling.
