You’re invited…

I just wanted to thank Manny Tau for setting up this wonderfully cool NEWS page.  Just brilliant work.

Last Tuesday my new work-in-progress trailer was screened in the Mary Pickford Theater at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood. It was the first large viewing, including a brief question and answer session attended by apprx. 50 industry professionals and friends.  From the Heart Productions & Carole Dean of the Roy W. Dean Film & Video Grants produced the event.

I showed a just-completed, shorter trailer that had some of the new footage I’d been shooting. The reaction was wonderful!

I’d been editing non-stop for five straight days and didn’t think I’d make it. The screening was at 6pm and my last cut was at 4:30pm. Whew!
