The Boys have been invited to the Phoenix Film Festival! It takes place the last week of March – also the last week of spring training for baseball (which takes place in the Phoenix area). How perfect is that?
They’re a very good festival, top 25 according to their festival director. He went on to say he was confident we’d be getting more calls and interest after our screening there.
I’m not waiting around, though. I’ll use this info to let all the festivals we’ve applied to what’s going on. Festivals seem to go one of two ways:
1) They need your premiere -- the absolute first screening OR
2) They need another festival’s (or insider source) approval of you.
So it’s not just screening, but screening successfully that makes the following festivals possible. From what I understand many festival directors to talk to one another in making their decisions.
I have several contacts in baseball and in the Phoenix area I’ll be hitting up to help with the PR. A strong showing here could lead to national attention as all eyes are turning toward baseball now anyway.
I wish we could have found a way to get to Mumbai for the screening there, but there’s just no money flowing in that direction. It’s odd to have the film screening without us. Apparently it’s playing on opening night as part of the red carpet premiere.
As it’s proud director/parent, I send it off in the mail and wish it luck!
