The coolest thing about having a baby

What's the coolest thing about having a baby? It really depends on whom you ask, but the best feeling in the world, for me, is whenever my little one grabs hold of one of my fingers with her tiny little hands. You would be suprised with her strength and intensity of the grab. She's been able to grab hold ever since she was a just a few days old, but each time, I can't help but thinking it's one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Back on track

So after much talk, I finally submitted Pilferer to 10 different film festivals... some take place later this year and many are early next year. It's time to play the waiting game and of course submit to more festivals as well. I am trying to target the cheaper film festivals, which means the entry fee is as little as possible.. I never submit if the entry fee is over $30 unless I think it is a high profile festival and my film has a really good shot at getting in. Generally, film festivals have early, regular, late, and super late deadlines.. the key is to enter as early as possible..

The goal is for Pilferer to get into a few film festivals and then through word of mouth get accepted to many many more festivals without having to pay any fees at all.. will keep everyone posted on that..

It is definitely time for a baby update, but that won't happen tonight.. hopefully in the next few days.

I am working 6 shifts a week to help bring the bread to the table and plan on finishing HAPPY SAUCE, that Blue Owl Flick in the coming weeks and begin sending that film to festivals as well. In terms of JAKE GETS PAID, Ed and I have agreed that I no longer have the time to see the film through beginning to end.. the solution is that he will edit and I will fine cut, polish, and help him make it to Sundance and beyond.
