Thanks...

posted on August 10

You all have been so generous and kind to contribute to the project. I can't tell you how much it has meant. Today, I sent out the first slew of film festival applications. Sundance is on there. Maybe I'm out of my mind, but we'll see if we have a chance in Park City.

I'll continue updating as news comes in. But for now, I'm going to get to the reams of paperwork and (gasp) a story I need to do for my regular job.

House call. As long as you live in the United States or my plane ticket won't run more than $500, I'll come to your home with my iPod so I can share my favorite Kinks songs as well as tell stories about the making of this film. I'll also bring a rough cut along so you can get a sneak peek of the movie.
