Moving Right Along...
Our last screening was full of friends and familiar faces, and Savanna and Tucker were more than a little hopped up on sugar, which made for a particularly good Q&A. It was a lovely conclusion to the week. I wish I'd taken more pictures.
A few weeks ago, I read over the film's final shooting script for the first time since production, and was surprised to find it even more exiguous than I remembered. It was designed as a blueprint, and the resulting film has supplanted whatever implicit worth it might have contained. As it should be. Nonetheless, I'd always wanted to make it available once the film had premiered, and so here it is - all 30 pages of it:
Reading it before you see it won't ruin the film; reading it after you see it may serve as supporting evidence to whatever opinion you may have formed, positive or negative. You may wonder how in my right mind I can call myself a writer - to which I'd say that I wrote this thing to direct. To which some of you might respond that I'm not too hot in that regard either, for which I can do nothing but shrug and agree to disagree.
And as to where you can see it: next up is AFI Dallas, where the film will be screening on Friday, March 27th and Sunday, March 29th. Tickets are currently on sale here.
The week after that, we'll be at the Sarasota Film Festival on April 3rd and 5th. I was recently informed that Alex Karpovsky and I are the first filmmakers to attend show our work at the festival for three consecutive years; indeed, I can't wait to go back. St. Nick tickets can be procured here.
Beyond that...we're working on it.
Thanks to everyone who came out to see it this week, and to those who wrote about it or told their friends or sent little whispers trickling through the streets. And thanks to Janet and everyone else at SXSW for treating us so well this week. I love you all.

Congratulations on the film and the packed-out premiere. I look forward to seeing the film, as well as what you'll make next.
