5/25/2011 - Notes From A Kickstarter Project
We have 6 days left until our Kickstarter deadline at 11:59 PM on May 31st. Some good interviews I did last week should be posted on the net this week. Hopefully the project will get a few more boosts from the press and we will eclipse 30k.
I just finished my submission to IFP’s Documentary Showcase for this fall. If we are selected we get to share the movie with a ton of really cool people in the film industry during a week long event at Lincoln Center. Film festival directors, distributors, tv networks, etc. Some of my favorite documentary films have gone through the festival. My fingers are crossed.
Last week Irene and I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Hunter and Steve Haske, two of the hosts of the excellent podcast, A Jumps B Shoots. They were in town from Portland, Oregon to cover Blip Fest 2011 and record some podcasts. I was honored to geek out with them. It was a lot of fun talking with them. I think the podcast should hit itunes next week.
Irene and I also met Jamin Warren, the founder of the magazine/blog KILL SCREEN. It was great meeting him after having communicated via email for the past few months. He was one of the earliest supporters of the movie and has some ideas of how we can work together in the coming months! Very cool ideas.
I was also interviewed by Ben Gilbert, Joystiq’s writer in NYC. It was great to sit down with him. I think I learned more from him than the other way around! He is currently writing a feature piece about the movie that will be posted this week.
We rocked out at Blip Fest on Thursday night. My two highlights were TALK TO ANIMALS from Baltimore and NYC’s own ANAMANAGUCHI. I have listened to “Airbrushed” at least 200 times since the show. I was moshing and dancing so hard during their set that I got a cramp and had to ease up. Looking forward to hearing recorded versions of their new songs that they played at the show.
I’ll be posting some more tomorrow.
