Update #2: Many thanks! 85%

Posted on January 30, 2010

Dear Baltimore Teams,

Thanks to all who made it out to MICA last night for our special presentation of Putty Hill media (audition tapes, select scenes, and pre-production video). It was very exciting to have so many members of the cast and crew present, as well as friends and supporters, and to share a little piece of our film with you. Even the Keynote presentation I prepared worked without snags -- phew!

If you missed it, please come Monday, February 1st, to the Charles Theatre, 9PM, for another opportunity to see a sneak peek at Putty Hill. The evening will be introduced by Maryland Film Festival Programmer Eric Hatch, and followed by a Q&A. There will be a merchandise table full of generously donated items from local businesses and artists available for purchase - books, records, gift certificates (including a 7-course dinner for 4 at The Chameleon Café), movie rentals, coffee, posters, etc... ALL of the proceeds will go towards the funding of the film. Admission is $5.

Also, if you missed my interview on The Signal on WYPR, you can download the podcast here.

Let's Don't Stop,

Matt
