World Premiere

Anthony and I are back from our World Premiere at The 12th Annual Magnolia Independent Film Festival.  As expected, we had a great time at this outstanding regional film festival.  (NEW LINKS: articles about the festival)

Screening on the opening night of the festival, the theater hosted a nearly capacity crowd.  "Cross-Eyed Dinner theater Presents!" was part of a short film program that was followed by a brief intermission and a feature film.  The crowd was great, and was laughing right away.  Both Anthony and I felt that we got great laughs in all the right places and many people came up to us after the screening to tell us how much they enjoyed the film.  Compliments were abundant for everyone's performances and how well they felt the film looked.

I only wish our entire cast and crew were able to attend the screening.  I think everyone involved with the film would have enjoyed the atmosphere and would have been very pleased with the audience reaction.

Anthony and I made some new friends and acquaintances at the festival and would like to give a holla out to Sandy, Angela, David, Ashley, Dan, April, Nic, Bill, Michael, Elaine, Rob, CK and everyone who delighted us with film and who brought those films to us.  A special congrats to Sandy who's film won the writing award and to David and Ashley who won the excellence in filmmaking award!

On a final note, if you're ever in Starkville, MS, don't miss Petty's BBQ.  The pork ribs and sweet tea are the best!
