YEEEEEEEEHAH! How’s them apples? No one can hurt me when I sing…and when we win! Our very first festival! Gosh, it feels good. It’s just the beginning, but it’s like being a rookie American League pitcher up at bat for the first time, and hitting it out of the park. BOOM! (Yes, I emphasized American League, when the DH is not an option.)
WHEN I SING WINNER PEOPLE’S CHOICE BEST FEATURE FILM!
Here’s the trailer!
So far I’ve worked 2 years, every waking minute on this film. (I am not exaggerating.) And then there’s the rest of the team. I surely would have struck out without them. But imagine! Winning People’s Choice in the Los Angeles market? Holy Shit! What an honor!

I’ll be honest, the film festival circuit is brutal. Why? Because you drop a hundred here, fifty there…just to submit! Then you don’t get in to most of them, because thousands of people are doing the same thing you are. Being an artist is a tough road these days. Everyone wants to make money off of you, while you spend more…and time. Time? What is it worth? All of us artists know how much time we spend creating and promoting our work. Why? We have to. Passion and belief drives us.
I believe in this film 100%. I promise that 99% of artists will relate, 99% of underdogs will be cheering, 99% of women will be laughing and crying, and 80% of people will thoroughly enjoy it. The rest of you..well…you can’t please everyone.
So now what do I do? It’s nice that I’ve already been approached for distribution. But this is my baby, just like my albums. Who can I trust with…MY LIFE’S STORY?
Maybe it will be Coming to a theatre near you! Then Netflix! Or Amazon, HBO! Or Showtime! (I say fuck a lot…so no Disney.) Did you know you have to spend like millions in promotion for a theatre release. I swear this could be a cult blockbuster! (See, I do believe in this film…or I’m delusional, and I’ll end up selling them in the back of my fucking car.)
Stay tuned. But for now, FILM FESTIVALS everywhere, show WHEN I SING. I guarantee a sold out crowd, and lots of smiles. Let’s do this!
Next stop, Worldfest. Houston…we don’t have a problem! What an honor to be chosen for the 3rd oldest film festival in America! And we’ve already been informed that we’ve won one of the top awards…one of their coveted REMI AWARDS! YEEEEEEHAH!
I’d like to congratulate all of the fellow nominees.
The Incantation – Buckout Road – In Echo Park – The Evil Rises.
Also an honorable mention to my two favorite nominated shorts that blew me away!
BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU DISTRIBUTING YOUR FILMS SO THE WORLD CAN SEE!
