With Gasparilla behind us, we're excited to announce that "All Air is Dead Air" has been accepted into the Sunscreen Film Festival as well!

Sunscreen will be held from April 14th to 18th at Baywalk in St. Petersberg. For everyone that was not able to make it out to Tampa or felt cheated by the sold out theater, worry not, these theaters are big. I attended Sunscreen last year and was impressed with the selection of quality and thought-provoking films that I saw, so I encourage as many people as possible to get festival passes.

To wrap it up, we had a great time at GIFF and look forward to seeing as many friends, family, aquaintences and complete strangers as possible at Sunscreen!

Our short film "All Air is Dead Air", Directed by Sara Christina Gross and myself showed over the weekend at the Gasparilla International Film Festival. This was a nice film festival, larger than CENFLO that I attended last year. Our film screened at 1:00pm on Saturday to a sold out house. This was pretty exciting as I've never had such a large group of people watch one of our films. Extrememly nerve-wracking.

I decided to post a few pictures from the festival so you'll see those below with captions:

Yes, more of the same.

This is the crowd waiting for the lights to go down. If you look closely you can see Josh Greenberg, who portrayed "Sonny" in the film.

All in all, we had a good time and it was a wonderful experience to be able to display our work to such a large audience!

Thanks for reading.

The CENFLO festival was great. We saw a few really good films, my personal favorite was "The Death of Alice Blue" out of Toronto.

It's a satire that likens the advertising/marketing world to blood sucking vampires... awesome. The production design was really impressive.

On another note, "Finals" was nominated for Best Florida Project, so we've got a nomination under our belt. Congratulations to everyone that had a part in the production!

I've been working with Sara Gross on our movie "All Air is Dead Air" and we're planning on completing it tomorrow and having a screening for cast and crew on Thursday.

Production starts on the Tides of Man documentary on the 13th when we leave for tour. Lots in the works.

That's all for now.
