"Daddy's Girl" makes a splash at the NY Int Film Festival

Horay, we made it! I want to thank all of you who came out to support us. I was told we had the largest cast turnout of any film in the festival. That is a testiment to your dedication and I really appreciate it. Much thanks to Kevin, Sophie, Lauren, Elizabeth (a great surprise-forgot she was at NYU), Angie, Karen, Mike, Kendra, Jennifer, Brooke, Matt, Mike, Stepahnie, all the parents, friends, family, and of course to all of you who could not make it; you were there is spirit and we all felt your good wishes.
I met Ron Perillo a star of "Welcome Back Kotter", a TV series from the 70's. We had a great meeting and he was in town promoting a movie based on the TV show which will be filmed at Paramont in a couple of months, for those who know, he will play Mr Woodman and Ice Cube will play Mr Kotter- sounds real fun and I wished him the best of luck. I also met Larry Holmes, the heavyweight champion of the world; great guy and the producers of his movie appeared to wrap up a deal with HBO right in front of my eyes (pretty cool).
So what about us? Good question, well, I met with many people who do publicity, arrange for investors, casting agents and the like. I also met with a woman who works for verizon in the VOD devison, the hottest market right now. For those of you who gave me your portfolios, I did pass them on to some of these people so you may be getting a call; I will also follow up too, I took lots of notes. For me, meeting other directors was great, we all seemed to understand each other without having to explain anything. Since the odds were long with so many entries, I think we all were more focused on meeting each other and sharing ideas than with actually coming back with some oak leaf clusters. From these other directors, I learned of the sound problem in our theater and of the same problems in tape transfer. This is no big deal as the judges use the DVD but it was a shared frustration that in the end of the day mattered far too much to us than the audience.
I am so grateful to all of you; your hard work made the film a success. I will be following up with the contacts I made and hope to have more news down the road.

We now move on to Decmeber 9th, the premiere at Cinemagic. I am working on TV and radio appearances and will keep you updated. I am looking into a Limo and will work on media coverage. I will also look to have each cast member sell at least 10 tickets in advance. I will also have your DVD's at the premeire.

Great Job Everyone! See Ya on the big screen!

Broadway Bound, media blitz to start

Here we have the lovely and gracious Lauren aka Gilda.

Lauren will be down with us in NYC and we will keep our eyes open for Lorne Michaels!

We go to the NY International Film festival with wide eyed dreams and dare we hope to actually get noticed! You guys have such great talent and I am sure something good will happen. Sure wish I had more time to prepare and look more professional; all I can do is hope we are good enough so our shortcomings don't get in the way. For what we had to work with, I think we did a great job and hopefully others will agree too.

I want to thank all of you who are going down to support our movie. I know many of you can't come but you will all be in our hearts.

I really hope we can come back with good news but as I have said already, if we just have a good time, that will be a success too.

This is a great big journey and we should learn a lot form this experieince. I have a radio interveiw on the Woody Woodland show and TV interviews on My TV and NH Chornicle in the works for when we get back home. I have sent emails for NY media but don't expect we will get something this late in the game but hey, ya never know. We would be a great interview, so "un Hollywood", something new and I believe we offer a positive movie that is much needed.

Hang in there guys, keep us in your prayers and maybe just maybe, we will make a splash!

Hey with Lauren there, we will no matter what happens!

Talk to you all soon
Dennis
