Update #11 · Jun 30, 2012 · comment

I am honored to let you all know that A Man, Buried is kicking ass and taking names on the Festival Circuit thus far.  It slayed the Northwest College Film Festival, and took home best short film at Seattle True Independent Film Festival. Last week it took home the Audience Choice Award from the Film Fringe Tour, Hollywood.  HOLLYWOOD! 

Next up it's Edinburgh, Scotland for the second stop on the Film Fringe tour, and in September it will be playing on the third and final stop of that tour in Philly.

We have submitted the film to dozens of Film Festivals and we'll be keeping everybody updated via the Facebook page so stay tuned, and please spread the link around to all of your friends.  We are working to get sponsors to travel with the film and the larger our influence, the more likely the sponsors will be to help us out!

Finally, the date has been set, and all of our "Actors Anonymous" backers will be attending the Tony Doupe one day acting intensive July 22nd!  The class roster is actually stacked with some amazing local talent and it is going to be a killer day for sure!

Thank you all for your continued support and don't forget to help us get the FB page rolling.

Brilliant opening into the festival market, as A Man, Buried took the crown this weekend at the Nothwest College Film Festival!  Didn't get a chance to see it at NWCFF?  No worries, A Man, Buried will be screening along side some other awesome shorts at STIFF on May 6th starting at 6 PM.  Stars Tony Doupe and Darlene Sellars will be on had for Q & A, as well as the creative staff.  Come see what all the buzz is about!

The results from Northwest College Film Festival

Update #8 · Apr 29, 2012 · comment

Today, Chris Taylor and I attended the Northwest College Film Festival at Shoreline Community College where over 30 films were shown.  Many of you may not know, but Chris is a student at Art Institute Seattle.  (One of the eligibility requirements for NWCFF is you must be a student film maker)

I couldn't be more happy to tell you that A Man, Buried came away from the night with the BEST FILM AWARD.  YES!  The very first festival has been a great forsight for things to come!  Thank you family for getting us here!  More to come next weekend at Seattle True Independent Film Festival on May 6th at the Grand Illusion Cinema when AMB screens along side "QWERTY" and "knot".  Please help us sell out the block of movies.  Tickets are on sale here:
