Updates before the first premiere!

Update #14 · Jan 11, 2013 · comment

Hi everybody!

I said I'd be sharing updates over the weeks leading up to the premiere, but I've been so busy updating things that I haven't been sharing with you.

But as we're heading into the weekend before the premiere, I want to share all the promising news.

First of all, the greatest help you can give right now is to simply like the Facebook page:

The most exciting news this week has been support coming from the French Embassy's Cultural Services department.  They have posted the premiere on their website and blog and have offered to help with communication for future screenings of the film and I hope there will be many. Here is their article:

I was also lucky to have a featured article at New York in French, the largest French and Francophile social media network in New York with over 8500 members, well-targeted in that community.  The article has almost 300 views in just 2 days, which appears to be more than triple any article of the last few months!  So thank to all those who have read and shares, and if you haven't yet, please do!  I think it explains the motivation of my technique in the film better than any of the interviews I'd previously given:

We've also been posted on the Brooklyn Heights Blog and our poster is up at the cinema itself.  The name of the film should be on the marquee this weekend, and I'll be sure to grab a picture of that.

I've also started to get requests for possible further distribution of the film.  And this is only based on articles, not even the actual screening yet.

And of course, if you're in New York, I would love if you could join us for the screening.

Have a great weekend!  And remember to like the Facebook page!

Thanks!
Andrew

Hi everyone!

There will probably be a handful of updates in the next two weeks as we prepare for the movie's first theatrical premiere.

Today's announcement is that we have a Facebook page and would love for you to "like" the page in order to be able to share our news in a social media platform.

I hope to have updates about the January 14 premiere soon.

Best,

Brooklyn Heights Cinema screening -- January 14, 2013

Update #12 · Dec 20, 2012 · comment

Hi everyone!

The date of the first public showing of Postcards from Paris has been confirmed.

It will be showing at Brooklyn Heights Cinema on Monday, January 14, at 7.15pm.

I am hoping to arrange for wine and cheese to be available for the evening.  If anyone has a connection to a wine or cheese vendor in New York who might be interested in participating, please let me know!

I will have more details on the evening when the date gets closer, but for now, I just wanted to let you know the date, and if you are in New York, I sincerely hope you will come by to enjoy this movie as it was meant to be enjoyed: on a large screen in a dark theatre!

Happy Holidays and I'll be in touch soon!

Andrew

Upcoming screening

Update #11 · Nov 30, 2012 · comment

Hi everybody!

It's been more than 6 months since my last update, but there have been rumblings of advances in the project.  I am looking at a début screening for Postcards from Paris in New York.

I haven't wanted to say anything as, predictably, the scheduled date has been moved back from August to October to November to December... but now a date in early January looks highly likely.  No guarantees--the art house cinema that wants to host the screening was scheduled for demolition in October--so the screening stays alive as the gentrification project stays behind schedule!

I won't say any more for now, but stay tuned for updates as I hope to announce a New York screening soon!

Today marks one year since the project reached its funding goal!  

Thanks again for helping make this possible!

Happy Holidays to all!
