Delray Beach Film Festival 2010 results

Director Michael Posner and his team of dedicated volunteers have wrapped another successful Film Festival. In addition to a Script To Reel Contest, local filmmakers day, golf tournament, beach cleanup, and Kid’s Day, they also gave out a slew of awards to participating filmmakers and icons in the industry.

I copied this from the Delray Film Festival Site, where a short while ago I got the news that 'Shooter' came runner up in the festival, I'm very happy with that, and now I have the daunting prospect of updating all the paper work, think I will get some sleep first, and do it in the morning.

Waiting patiently

The first days of spring are here, yes it's raining, but a little warmer. Soon we will be out with the little crew making stories come to life.

Announced in an email, I find that 'SHOOTER' has been listed in the Britfilms Catalogue, now that is seriously cool, very proud. Now I need to find some work.

Pain in the Neck

Yes, That's right, I have a pain in my neck, no matter, I can still type.

Yesterday, I did 3 hours of Lecturing at my old college, it was nice to meet Chris Fry's art students, and talk about the film.

Today I entered Shooter into the Jim Poole Film Festival and Soho Short, and I guess it will be a while before I post any news.

The film also screens in 1 week, at the Delray Beach Film Festival, I wont be attending, much to my disappointment, too expensive to travel at the moment. The film is also screening at The Lake Arrowhead Festival the following month, lets see how expensive the flights are then. I have to bring in a sponsor I reckon to help with travel, If you are interested then drop me a line.

Just heard that one of my favourite shorts 'Cigarette Candy', just nailed best short film at SXSW , very happy for Lauren. I met her briefly at the Palm Springs Shorts Festival in 2009, where we screened together in the 'War and Remembrance' section of the competition.

I will be posting more news shortly.

Official Selelction at the Delray Beach Film Festival 2010


'Shooter' is in Official Selection at the Delray Beach Film Festival 2010, and we are very excited to hear this. If you click on the Delray Laurel it will take you to there Official web site, where you can see the film selections for this year.
Now I have to work on getting there to represent the film, and of course getting the publicity to them on time for the screening.
With 'Shooter' also being selected in NY, I would like to try and combine the trip with other business, and other festivals, looks like a busy few months ahead.
