Hey everyone,
I'm very very excited to announce that we have been accepted at the Tupelo Film Festival, in Tupelo Mississippi. For those of you who aren't familiar with Elvis, this is where he was born. So, it means alot to me that we are getting a chance to show there. The dates for the fest are May 17th to 19th. We're showing on Thursday May 17th at 1:35pm over at the Lyric Theatre. You can check out the festival website for more info and see the schedule at http://tupelo.net/filmfest/. This one is going to great fun because not only are we being screened and getting to go to Elvis' hometown, my folks will be joining us. I'm so honour that they will be there and take part.
So, as always if you know someone in that part of the country or want to join us yourself please do so...the more the merrier.
We might even take a little road trip up to Memphis to see Graceland...now wouldn't that be fun!
Please keep checking back I'm sure we'll have more info after this weekend.

CIFF was a great success
Hey everyone,
Just got back from Calinfornia...well late last night Monica and I flew in. We had a great time. We were very excited to meet up with another Austin filmmaker, Rowdy Stowell. He's feature Mexican Sunrise screened on Friday. It was very cool. I really enjoyed it and am so proud of Rowdy. He did an amazing job and it was his first feature. You rock Rowdy. Also, I was really impressed by the actors. I know I worked on the film and was there to watch every move these guys made but they really did give their all and it's up on the screen. Great work Rowdy. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to screen at another festival. It was kinda nice having another Texas filmmaker around.
Now on to our screening... it was a great success. We had an awesome audience that happened to be filled with lots of kids and parents. They laughed so many times it just made me and Monica a little misty. I wish that you all could have been there. The Q & A went off without of hitch. Actually, I think we might have had one of the best Q&As of the festival. Lots of questions about the actor's and where the story came from. They seemed to really get it and enjoy it. After the Q&A I was approached by a woman. Her son, who was attending NYU, was having his very first showing later that day and she said that he was very nervous about the screening since he has never shown to an unknown audience and he wasn't sure it was going to go over well. I told her that most filmmaker's have nerves about screening but in the end didn't we make them to be seen by an audience. She smiled and said I'll tell him that. I think it's true that we all get nerves at our screenings because what we really are hoping is to get an audience that gets it and loves it. I think we had an audience that really got it.
So, now we're preparing for our next festival which is in just a few days. The Austin Women's Film, Music and Literary Festival starts up April 26th. We screen on the 29th over at the Carver Theater at 3pm. I hope some of you can come out. Anyway, keep your eyes peeled...more new to come.

BSW is going to the County Fair
Hey all,
I am proud to announce that BSW will be participating in the San Diego International Children's Film Festival's Summer SunScreen series taking place from June 10-July 4 at the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. What's cool about this is that over a million people attend the fair and we'll be with several other films being play everyday. It makes me really excited to know that so many will get a chance to see the film. Many that might not attend a film festival or rent a short film DVD. So, if you know someone in the San Diego area please let them know. Here's the website http://www.sdchildrensfilm.org/ They currently have just a blurb about the Summer SunScreen with a contact number.
Info. about the films and filmmakers have been posted on the Austin Women's Film, Music and Literary Film Festival website. http://www.blowinupaspot.com/Frames/FRAME-WELCOME.htm. It looks like BSW will play on Sunday April 29th at the 3-6pm Matinee Screening and Q&A. Hope to see you all there.
Well, that's it for now. Will keep you updated as things come in to me. Until then...
