2nd Rough Cut Screening

The second rough cut screening was a huge success for us! We want to thank New England Institute of Art and Women in Film & Video for sponsoring this event at the Coolidge Corner Theater. A number of filmmakers and other friends and advisers came out to watch this cut and provide feedback to us on the film. The comments to our website and e-mail addresses have been extremely helpful and we are taking these comments into account as we we cut down the film to right length. What we know now is that the story is really connecting with people, the pacing is right, and the characters are captivating.

We are getting e-mails from across the country from people who want to see this film. Thank you for signing up to help bring the film to your city and for signing up for our newsletter updates. We are doing our best to respond to all e-mails. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

1st Rough Cut Screening-Camden, Maine

Aron Gaudet, Bill Knight, Joan Gaudet, Jerry Mundy, and Gita Pullapilly
at the 1st Rough Cut Screening of The Way We Get By.


We are getting close!!! We had our first rough cut screening at Camden, Maine to see what a general audience would think of our film and where we needed to cut the film to make it as strong as possible. The Camden International Film Festival sponsored this rough cut screening for us. 350 people were in attendance as well as our three characters from the film---Bill, Joan, and Jerry. We showed a cut that was 93 minutes--knowing that in order to get it to our target time, we would have to cut roughly 10 minutes from the film.

The showing was so emotional! We were really nervous since we were showing this rough cut for the first time. We really didn't know what people would think. But when the lights came up and we went to greet our characters, we were shocked to see that people were cheering and clapping. We received two standing ovations and the crowd cheered our characters! Everyone we spoke with really connected with the film and said that this film was speaking to them. We stayed in Camden over the weekend and were stopped by a number of people on the street who came up to us, hugged us, and thanked us for making this film.

Aron and I are still overwhelmed by the response we received in Camden as well as the e-mails since then from those that have seen this first cut. We can't wait to see what happens at our upcoming rough cut screenings before we begin submitting to film festivals! Keep your fingers crossed and please continue to help spread the word about the film!
