Our sixteenth screening has taken place with the Los Angeles International Independent Film Festival. Since this fest was a bit low key combined with the fact we were back in LA, we went ahead and advertised in the LA Weekly for our Sunday night screening. It worked. The screening went very well. We nearly packed the house. It's always good to get a new audience's reaction to your film.

This festival isn't so much a traditional film festival as it is a screening venue for indepedent films. You enter the fest, and if you get in, you get a screening which you can use to attract buyers to your feature film. There's no competition and very little press coverage, unlike what you would see with a traditional festival, but it does get you a very valuable screening venue in the heart of LA. And that's exactly what we wanted. We just wanted another screening in LA and this was the best way to do it. And, luckily, it was a successful one.

We're slowing down our festival run with the film to concentrate more on pre-production of our next feature film, Butterflies and Lightning, a film very different from The Innocents. But we'll continue to keep you updated and informed as things unfold with new festivals and possible international distribution.

Take care and stay connected for the Latest...
