Friday, August 15th, 2008The summer is nearing its end and I am trying to stay in the present and be grateful for all of the great things that are happening for the film and in my life.
Really, there is SO MUCH I am grateful for! For instance, I hung out recently with my friends from Patchworks [...]
“It’s title may sound definitive, but AMERICAN TEEN is not the only doc about American teens on the festival circuit.”
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008Check out this really cool review comparing our film alongside American Teen, and Hard Times at Douglas High. Guess who “touches more often and more deeply than these other two films, so if it stops short of offering a Grand Statement about The Way Kids Live Now, that seems okay––as a portrait of the inner [...]
Support your local artists
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008Well we are back home are rested and cleaned and no longer having to share one hotel room! Not that we would mind doing it all over again. Festivals are fun and I actually clocked in more films at SILVERDOCS than at any of the others we have attended. We recently found out our film [...]
SilverDocs and the Zoo!
Saturday, June 28th, 2008When Kristy and I heard that we got into SilverDocs we cried. No I mean it. Ok, maybe I was the the one who cried, Kristy said, NO WAY. I think even with the success of the film we are still THRILLED and surprised when GREAT and COOL festivals accept our film. [...]
SILVERDOCS Round-Up Before Our Screenings
Saturday, June 21st, 2008Our poster at the AFI Silver Theatre
I have had a chance to see a few films, visit with a few friends, meet filmmakers from all over, and get to know downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. Which seems like a very new, somewhat mall-ish community, that is both incredibly well-planned and surprisingly and refreshingly diverse. Yesterday we [...]
The weather in DC is 60 degrees and rising…
Thursday, June 19th, 2008So I arrived to SILVERDOCS a day ahead of the gang to check out the scene and hit the ground running. I’ve just gotten in from a four and half hour red eye flight–which is about three hours too short–only to realize my room reservation for the morning was canceled because I wasn’t spending the [...]
And counting…!
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Guest bloggin’!
Check out this guest blog I wrote on the Washington Area Women’s Foundation website. Its basically a retooling of our Directors’ Statement, but a bit more in-depth. It’s so hard to write about the film now that it’s done. I tore my hair out writing it and then realized it was pretty similar to [...]
SILVERDOCS here we come!
Sunday, June 8th, 2008OK. We are applying to a bazillion festivals–many of them abroad–and just found out we got accepted to the 10th Seoul International Youth Film Festival this July! Too bad we don’t get to go! WE can’t wait to hear more about it and the competition. But for now, it means I have to transcribe [...]
I was once 13
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I am finally finding the time to write about the Portland Women’s Film Festival (it is midnight! ha! I knew I could squeeze out more time from the day!)
First of all, I love Portland! Portland, Oregon is a beautiful city! It is GREEN and very easy to get around. It has many [...]
Finishing up my Tribeca Experience
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Hey there,
It takes me a while to report on what’s going on because I have a kid and full time job and lots of other things that get in the way of telling you all about our adventures. In fact Rigo is saying right now, “Mom can you read to me? mom, can you [...]
