Coming Home?
James put together a very lovely press release for the AFI Dallas screenings this weekend, plus an upcoming exhibition at The Modern in Fort Worth. This is a homecoming of sorts, and I'm really excited to show the film to a few specific folks, as well as whoever else comes out to see it. Will anyone come to see it? I'm not sure if our halfway-buzz has spread to Dallas. I was so caught up with finishing the film for SXSW, and then with SXSW itself, that I've done zero publicity for this festival. I didn't have any screeners to send them for press, I still haven't made up posters or postcards. My movie plays in less than 24 hours and here I am still lounging around in Austin, drinking Yerba Mate like a damn hippy. I'm the worst at this. I fully expect the theater to be half empty and full of echoes and coughs.
So. I suppose this is my opportunity. Time for a hard sell. If, by chance, you are reading this, and you live in DFW, and you aren't already planning on coming to see St. Nick - change your mind! It's playing today, Friday, at 4:15 and on Sunday at 12:30 at the wonderful Magnolia theater. It's good, I promise. It's like Where The Wild Things Are, only without the monsters.
Hopefully whatever imminent mechanical failure the 'Check Engine' light on my car is indicating will remain dormant until after the three hour drive tomorrow morning, so that I might be able to join you there myself.

I sing in chorus with your P/R woes. I'm not much better but I'm trying to learn.
I relish the thought that even if the screening isn't full, those few curious souls who do show up will be handsomely rewarded for their excursion.
