Hey All,
I just received word from Houston Worldfest that Blue Suede Wings was awarded a Silver Remi Award. This was a great surprise and we are very honored to receive this award. If you want to learn more about the Remi or Worldfest check out their website http://www.worldfest.org/. We are now officially an award winning short. How cool is that? Way to go BSW!

Home from the Tupelo Film Festival
Hey Everyone,
Well, Elizabeth and I are back from Mississippi and what a good time we had. The Tupelo Film Festival was a great festival and the people were so kind and friendly. Haven't had someone say thank you so much as when we were there. I want to thank Pat and the rest of her festival volunteers for making us feel so at home and apart of the family. The screening was great, had a good audience, and one guy really was enjoying himself. Could hear him laughing and at one point even say, "Oh no." We were very happy with the way things went. Our parents were there as well. Drove all the way from Midland, Texas to join us. This was their first time to see the film up on the big screen and with an audience none of us knew. I think they quite enjoyed it.
I do have a story to tell on us. After BSW showed we stayed around and watched a few other films then decided to go grab a bite. Unfortunately, we ended up missing our group Q&A while we were gone. When we walked back into the theater door all the volunteers started to come up to us. "Where did you disappear too?" "We looked all over for you?" Even one volunteer had come looking for us downtown and she almost found us if only she'd come two more store down. Thankfully, Pat got us into the next Q&A and all was fine. But I know she was thinking, "those Yeager girls."
So, to wrap up...We had a great time. The screening was fun, the other films were good, and they feed us great food and treated all us filmmakers like family. It was a festival I highly recommend to all my fellow filmmakers. You will have a great time and this festival really celebrates the great accomplishment of completing a film.
