TWWGB at Full Frame Film Festival

This is a really great festival. On Thursday, Aron and I did a radio interview with WUNC's North Carolina's Public Radio. Click here to check out the audio clip. Frank Stasio was the host and he did a great job with our segment.

We screened at the largest venue with our 35mm film print at the Full Frame Film Festival. The venue, Carolina Theater-- Fletcher Hall, was absolutely beautiful and the film looked great on the big screen. For a 10:30am Friday screening we had a great crowd and the audience was really into the film. After our screening, we spoke to a group of volunteers for the festival who came in to see the film and they were very emotional afterwards. I told them--hey, you guys don't know what it means to see people connecting in such intimate ways with our film. This is such an amazing feeling for us as filmmakers!

We're exciting to check out more movies this weekend and I'll be back in touch with more updates shortly. Thanks for reading....

Independent Film Week- NYC September 2008

Aron and I just returned from Independent Film Week (IFP Market) in New York City. For the filmmakers out there, you NEED to attend this week when your film is close to ready. There were 75 documentary films chosen for this week. We had the opportunity to meet with key film festival programmers and distributors. One on one meetings are arranged with industry professionals who are interested in your film. We came to NYC with a number of meetings and then had just as many side meetings while we were there.

One of the highlights of the week was meeting other filmmakers who were accomplished in their own right and were working hard on some amazing projects as well.

For a few years now, other filmmakers told us we should apply to IFW. I now know why so many people talk about IFW. This week will not only benefit The Way We Get By but also our future projects!
