Thinking About Film Festivals

Film festivals, as we all know, kick a lot of ass. It is a time and place where filmmakers, old and young, new and experienced, gather to celebrate the awesomeness of cinema. I am very excited about submitting a future film to Cucalorus or any out-of-town festival. I have been working on an extended cut of the Gypsy Fire documentary (in which more live performance has been added) and realized that I want to shoot more. Perhaps this will happen. I just think that shooting live performances is an epic adrenaline rush. In any case, we shall see what the future holds. As for the Port City Paranormal documentary that shall enter the editing stage next semester, I am very excited to work with Mike Munch on assembling the film. I think that we have strong content and that this documentary could be both inspirational/endearing and sobering. By sobering, I mean that the footage will tear down the walls that have been built by modern craze reality shows such as Ghost Hunters (the real deal is nothing like these overdramatized shows). PCP can be developed into a humbling piece and I look forward to submitting it to film festivals across the nation.
