lonely on my space

Hi Guys, I have only 12 friends, what's with that! I am getting lots of hits on the site, particularly since I now have the NY Film site link to myspace. Joe if you are reading this, I'm sorry but when you have a chance, we can go over the site. I have lots of ideas to make it more fun. For example, instead of a poll asking if you like the trailer, I would rather have a poll asking who was the hottest star on friends, do you think Greg and Marsha hooked up, stuff like that.

At Friday's meeting, I want to get pictures of you guys against my new black screen. I want to do a hard days night montage. What?, you never saw it, Geez it's a classic and its cool, go and rent it, very fun and a great time capsule. Anyway, I think we can liven things up a bit, I want more show and the business will take care of itself.

My concern is I have too few friends, I really believe the more the merrier, people see a new link and say, why not check it out. That is the beauty of myspace, way cool.

Hope to see you all Friday, lots to discuss and do. Please have all your friends join my friend list, then we can get the buzz started for the film.

see ya

Almost Famous Halloween Party

Ok in honor of two of my favorite directors (Cameran Crowe and Tim Burton), I thought it would be cool to have a Halloween party funraiser to attract attention, help a good cause, and have a lot of fun. We will need a site, some bands, and a lot of decorations. This could be a lot of fun to do. Please make our marketing meeting. I need all your help and ideas. I think it is more fun to be interviewed at a hot party, don't you. We have a dance studio in town, maybe they could host it. I have decorations to chip in and I am sure I could get Pizza/food donations from area vendors.

Start shopping/making your costumes now! Come to our meeting, and let's kick off "Daddy's Girl" in a big way.
BTW, check out our website: www.daddysgirlmovie.net

Joe is working on it now so it should be up and runnig by the time most of you read this.

Guys I feel loney with only 8 friends in my space, go to my site and add me as a friend. This is the best way to have your friends see the movie you are in and to network the film. My myspace is at www.myspace.com/daddysgirlmovie

Here is the link to the NY Film festival. Check it out. http://www.nyfilmvideo.com/2006/nynov2006/movieads.htm

At last, we are listed on the NY International Film Site!

Horay, I guess we can now be officially excited, we are now on the official NY International Film site.

Way cool!

I will keep you updated when we will be shown in NY, I am hoping for a Saturday evening so people can drive down if they like.

We are also doing a charity event by way of a premiere at Cinemagic in December.

I had lots of ideas for which charity (so many good ones), but after talking with Sophie (thanks Soph), I realize the perfect one is one that helps kids who are victims of abuse. Now I know there is a women's shelter in Nashua and that might be the right one but if there are other programs specifically for children of abuse, let me know. I thought there was a national center for exploted children. I will check into it but if people know, chime in. I love Sophie's idea, that way we can help all the other "Becky's" out there. ;,,, Take a bow Sophie!

I want a big turn out on Friday for our marketing meeting. Please make sure to attend. Well back to editing, still a long night ahead of me.

The trailer at last, come see!

Feels like we were in jail, oh the waiting.... Ok, I could not wait for Joe, I know he is working on it but he is so busy it may take several more days. Well I uploaded the trailer to my space. Now I did not have time to make the site pretty and I am running out the door now but I want you all to see it. It appears a bit distorted and I believe Joe will do a much better job but check it out and let me know.

PS, I will update later tonight, comments needed

OK so we made a movie, now what?

Here is the lovey lauren thinking just that!

Well, I just dropped off the trailer to Joe and he will put it on the website as soon as he can. Check out www.daddysgirlmovie.net to see the bios and trailer. I will also put another video and the "making of" video once I get a chance. I am still putting in all nighters and expect to do so all the way through 9/25, the deadline for Sundance.

So far we are booked for the NY International Film festival, the LA international Film festival, and the Cannes Film festival. Pretty cool.

I will let you know if we make Sundance too.

Now, what next?

Well, I am planning a marketing meeting on Friday September 29th from 7 Pm to say midnight. I am hoping we can get the parents and experienced actors to come with contacts, ideas, and of course, help in launching the campaign.

We plan to link to myspace and I want to arrange for TV, newspaper, and radio guest spots. Give me a call if you can make it. I am trying hard to help you in your careers and it will work a lot better if we do this as a team.

It is all happening, When you see the trailer, let me know what you think. Also, call me if you can make the marketing meeting. I plan to be busy all October creating buzz for November!

Pass the popcorn

Ok the gang is gathered by the TV to watch a show. I was looking at the other movies in the film festival. There is one listed I just gotta see: "Reject Island", it is so strange looking, it is listed as a comedy so I bet it will be offbeat. I keep waiting to see us posted, soon ; maybe later today. I hope to hear from Joe soon so we can get the trailer onto our website so there will be a link on the NY site.

Hey guys, why not post what other movies you would like to see when we are down there. Anyone wanna see "Reject Island" with me? Looks like some good laughs. I'll buy the popcorn!
Dennis

Bekka is coming, why not you!

Here is the lovey Bekka. I took her original casting photo, a little cropping (sorry Jordan) and Viola, a nice shot. Bekka and her Mom are coming down to NY and more and more people are joining her. I have had very little sleep over the past week but finished the trailer and all the promo materials about 6 AM this morning. They should have it tomorrow (Friday) so people can start checking out the NY international Film festival website to see us there (way cool!)

Joe was not able to make it last night and I don't expect him tonight. Hopefully he will have some time this weekend to put the trailer on the website: daddysgirlmovie.net

Bekka had a small part but to me there are no small parts. She was great on the set and it is wonderful to see her Mom is so supportive of her dreams to make it in show business. We have so many wonderful Mom's out there who care and watch out for their daughters but also are brave enough to let them explore this new world. So here's to Tasha, Jenn, Karen, Dorothy, Victoria, Jayne, Joelle, Trina, Linda, Helena, Donna, Michelle, Barbara, Helen, Kelly, Rosemarie, Penny, and Bernadette. I hope I got you all. Now everyone, take a bow!

Dennis

Gettin excited yet?

Well we are movin along. Lot's of work still but we are gettin there. Here is the movie poster. I may play with it more to get the paint looking more realistic but you get the idea.

Working on the trailer

Isn't this a great shot of Natalie! I have most of everyone's bios' and pictures. If you have not sent it in, please do so Saturday. As it is, I will have to work extra time to get it in but I do want to get as much of you as I can. (I know Bekka sent me something but I don't think she has any pictures. I don't think Jordan sent anything yet) I will be photographing the official movie poster tomorrow so I will be busy from 2-3 but if you need a professional picture, call me and we can set it up tomorrow.

Joe and Ellen were over tonight and we started the trailer. I am still working on it and after several hours of work, I have 16 seconds. It looks great and I think it will surprise a lot of you. If you are not in the trailer, don't worry because I believe everyone has at least one scene in the movie. I should have the trailer up on the website by Monday. Check it out at daddysgirlmovie.net

Well, back to work, I want to thank you all for such wonderful performances.
Dennis

Movin' Along

Remember the High Hopes event? Angie was great in getting donations. I still wanted to see Sophie and Lauren dance, Oh well, maybe at the film festival! This whole journey has been a lot of fun. I just heard from the festival and they will let me put in a show time preference. I would guess Saturday would be best and will put in for that.

So far I know the following are going to the festival: Kristin, Sophie, Kevin, Natalie and Victoria, Kendra and Jenn , Matt and Brooke, Tory and Emma and Rick and Joelle, Angie and Karen and Mike, Tanya, Ariel and Dorothy and Mark (probably), Lauren and Rosemarie, Patrick Lea Herbert (and maybe his 17 year old daughter), and maybe Sacha. Not bad! I will check on the discount we get at the Roosevelt hotel but at over $400 for a single bed 110 square foot room, I do not expect much. Last I heard, Karen was looking into Orbitz. It would be cool if we could all stay at the same hotel. This way, we could share a cab, get together and compare notes, and just have some fun.

I suspect if we get the Saturday showing, we will have even more people coming down. I am looking forward to the VIP parties. I expect that will be the place where contacts are made. Tanya is already in a big star film so naturally she is a rising star who I hope can give us some pointers.

Get ready to have a blast!
Dennis

Time's moving on

I just got another email from the festival, they want the info ASAP. I did check their website and a number of other films are already there. I do not want anyone to loose out.

Please send me the bios with a picture.

I also need firm numbers on the VIP tickets.

Sorry to say it over and over but so far, I have only 3 bios and the deadline is midnight Thursday!

Dennis

when it rains it pours

About 2 AM last night, my 500 gig hard drive crashed. I had moved all my capture to this drive so I could move faster but now it appears to be all gone. The drive is only 5 weeks old! I can get angry but that is a waste of time. The submission dealines were moved forward and I just lost months of work. The only good thing is I have my master rough cut but I now need to hunt for each and every clip (nearly 2,000 of them), color and sound correct them and get them on the timeline so my composer get get to it, all in the next week. I do not expect to get much sleep so if you talk to me, please excuse my crankiness, I am doing my best.

I think I can now understand what Job was feeling, so many obsticles in my path; the way I look at it, the more difficult the journey, the greater the victory when we finally make it. Thomas Paine had it right. I will soldier on as I know all too well, I have the many hopes and dreams of the cast to sustain me. I will not let you down. Please email me your resumes and cover shots, I do not think I will have time to call you to remind you. I must have them by Thursday at midnight.

Dennis

Let's get movin'

Well we had a great time last night but I have to say my thoughts were to some of you that couldn't make it. Here is Natalie who is now in Texas. Natalie and her mom are planning to attend the Film festival. Sacha is a new mom but I would not be surprised if she comes too.

I have a lot of work to do and the first thing I need is your bios and pictures. I need this within the next week, no later than Thursday midnight. After that, I can not guarantee you will get in the marketing marterial. I plan to do interviews in October and also in NY when we get to the festival. Once I know more, I will let you know.

I also have a set of keys, a baby doll, and some extra shirts so let me know if you lost any items or need the t shirts. I will expect everyone who goes down to have their t shirts for the festival.

Things are moving very fast now. Please get me the info I need. I also need a head count of VIP tickets. I can get a 12 at a discount so like I said, first come first served.

Congrats to everyone who worked so hard on this film. Your hard work paid off, we are now moving to the next step where I hope people's dreams can come true. One thing is for sure, we will be a lot closer to those dreams.

Email your bio's and pics (300 dpi or better preferred) to daddysgirlmovie@gmail.com

Thanks,

Dennis

PS thanks to Mike and Stephanie for being out chefs for the night, everyone loved your cooking.
