BARE BONES - DAY 3 - RADIO, RADIO & MORE SCREENINGS

Day 3 of the festival events.... We started earlier than normal with a 6AM wake-up call to prep for an 8AM radio interview at the studios of KTFX Radio. Bill Payne and Julie brought us into the control room along with a few other filmmakers from the fest. Sam, the genius that he is, grabbed a copy of the film's soundtrack and gave it to them on the air which helped get us a lot of publicity for the film. They played portions of three different cuts, including the When Love Walks In theme song by Messenger, Good, Good Love by Terri Allard and Anna's Theme by our composer Stephan Prock.

We then traveled out to KFOX Radio and dropped off films, soundtracks and posters for them to giveaway on the air. Lunch was at Jasper's where we then filmed a segment with Brad and I for Rebellion of Thought. Sam had worked us a deal where we received lunch on the house and four $20 gift certificates to use as giveaways at our showings. If you happen to win one of those gift certificates save room for a slice of their Turtle Sundae Cheescake!

Next stop was at the Roxy Theatre where we hung posters and took pictures of ourselves out front with the signage behind us. Thursday night is the big filmmakers welcome followed by our showing at the Roxy. We're hoping that the welcome events will turn into a good crowd for the screening.

We've seen a number of features already including Pen Pals, Get Rich Quick, Messages, and The Man Who Couldn't. Some have been good, others struggled. The Man Who Couldn't had some strong story elements and good acting, but the audio was horrendous. The entire film should be ADR'd, tightened a bit, and then Matt should spend a few weeks on it for color correction and it would take the film up to level it deserves. The lead actor in that film has been my favorite so far.
