From Coney Island to London

Merlot has now been submitted to 8 festivals, the latest,coney island film festival and london international. We were hoping to submit to telluride but your flick has to be a united states premiere to play there. Its funny how many festivals demand you are a premier to play at thier festival. You cant be a premier at every festival. I have also opted to not submit to Palms this year. Its 60 bucks and I would rather spend 30 and submit to festivals where we are not competing with a studio to get in. Having said that we will still submit to Sundance in August.

I spoke with Shannon last night about our official premier of merlot here in Seattle. Currently the audience is up to 90 and the theatre holds 45. I have another theatre I can use that seats 60 and I can do two showings giving me 120 seats. So I will go with that one.
What else I'm in a wedding, I have wedding rehearsals. My day job has ramped up to become ultra busy and I'm holding auditions on the 12th for Chaointe. I'm very busy. I think I will turn around and it will be August. Which is great because I will be one month closer to shooting Sans Vie.
