WLWI on DVD - Nearly 8 years in the making!

I was informed by our Associate Producer, Sam Voelkel, that tomorrow (Friday the 1st of April, 2005), the DVD's of When Love Walks In should arrive here at the Paladin Pictures Worldwide Headquarters. He told us to bring the champagne, because this truly is a day for celebration.

It was 1997 when this whole ordeal began. I was working as a Producer at the University of Virginia and had put in for a producing spot at Golden Dome Productions in South Bend, Indiana. In early June, I learned that I was Golden Dome's number 2 man... which of course means I didn't get the job. My reaction included a dramatic case of mild depression and hurt feelings from not being number 1 along with a very serious commitment to making a feature film... instead of merely talking about making a feature.

It was amazing... once I starting telling people that I was doing it, there was no turning back (it's remarkable what accountability can do!). I soon contacted my brother Brad and talked to him about directing and began working on the script. Now almost eight years later, I sit on the eve of receiving 1000 copies of the finished DVD. It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here!

Cheers!

Kent
