Tulsa - Kinship

I'm headed to the Tulsa International Film Fest (TIFF) here soon. I must say they've rolled out the red carpet even though it's their first year.  Let you know how it shows.  Not much else to report....except...

*trick*

Kinship got selected to the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival!!!! I got you kinda!

What an honor!

Underneath Cincinnati Finals!

Well, as the last few film festivals make there decision I  have some mixed news on Kinship our flagship short film.  It got into the finals of Underneath Cincinnati where it will compete head to head with the other 8 films from the 2010 - 2011 season. Very exciting!

However, some festival I took a chance on rejected us, our first rejection.  Cincinnati International Film Festival regretfully did not select Kinship this year.  Oh well, can't win them all.

Two More Film Festivals!

Well Kinship is doing rather well getting in the film festival circuit.  Added two more to the tally: Underneath Cincinnati and Rumschpringe Short Film Festival.  I'm truly honored that this short film is getting the opportunity to play in front of a live audience.   I will attending Underneath Cincinnati on Wed night.

While I really wanted to go to Grand Rapids, I didn't realize it was during the week. Unfortunately we did not win Best Short and I'm not sure how well it was received but it played 3 times which is amazing in itself!

Yo Grand Rapids, here I come!

What a great honor, the city where I was born. KINSHIP is an Official Selection to the Grand Rapids Film Festival.  And the crowd rejoiced.  I'd like to thank the cast and crew again for all their hard work, I couldn't have done it without them.  We did it you guys again!!

"Disbanded" Placed 5th!

My feature length screenplay Disbanded garnered a 5th place finish at the 2011 International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival Screenplay Competition. 

Honestly, it's not too shabby for my first ever screenplay.  You can read an older version here - Disbanded

Yes it's a cliche zombie flick but that was my intent.

Tulsa here I come!

What a great honor, my home state, it's inaugural film festival. KINSHIP is an Official Selection to the Tulsa International Film Festival.  And the crowd rejoiced.  I'd like to thank the cast and crew again for all their hard work, I couldn't have done it without them.  We did it you guys!
