Zach's made the Coen Trailer

Hey Everyone,

I have some really fun news. While we were shooting BSW one of our leads, Zach Hopkins (Beau) landed a part in the new Coen Brother's film No Country For Old Men. He plays a deputy at the beginning of the film and is murdered by the lead baddie. Anyway, I just saw the trailer for the first time and there is Zach. It doesn't show his face but it's him. Blond hair and all.

Between the time we shot in March to our re shoots in May Zach had been out to Santa Fe, NM to do his part. He had some very fun stories about working with the Coen's and it really made me excited for him. Now that the trailer is out I'm more then ready for the film to come out and for people to see what a awesome actor Zach is. I really hope this opens many doors for him. Though, I hate to see such a nice guy get got in such a horrible way but it looks to be a very intense scene.

At the moment the trailer can be seen on Variety.com. http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=VideoBC&bcpid=987390441&bclid=1021004993&bctid=987200355

Screening at Indiefest

Hey Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. We're doing good here. Things are still rocking with BSW. We were accepted to a new festival. We will screen at Indiefest 2007. It's held in Chicago IL July 26 - August 2, 2007. You can check out their website http://www.indiefestchicago.com/ for more information. They will have film screening info up soon. We're all very excited about heading off to Chicago. If you have anyone you know living in the area please let them know about the showing.

Also in May, Blue Suede Wings appeared at two film markets in Europe. The Short Film Corner Market which takes place during The Cannes Film Festival and at The Oberhausen International Film Festival Market. At The Short Film Corner BSW was viewed by several distributors. So, we'll see if anything comes out of that. It was very cool to know that little BSW played at Cannes.

I'll keep everyone up to date as things come in. Hope you all are doing good and staying busy.
