3 Big Screenings This Weekend. Why Not OutFest?


Boy have we come a long way since that post last year when I was wondering if we would get into any festivals.
This weekend we have screenings in New Zealand, Connecticut and Wales (I'm moving West to East here). Three in one weekend? And all the people we have met. It has been such an experience!
This month marks a year since we debuted the film here in our community center as you can see to the left. It was a great crowd and the champagne flowed. Since then we've been in about 2 dozen festivals around the world (Toronto, Chicago, Sydney, Seattle, Boston...next week we will screen at NewFest in New York.
So why then won't they screen us here in our hometown? OutFest, the Los Angeles LGBT film festival rejected us AGAIN. Last year I figured the film must not be good enough. This year after all the prestigious festivals that excepted us I just try to realize that it has nothing to do with the film. After all, it is quite flaky here in tinseltown! And honestly, I do believe these festivals try hard with the hundreds of entries they receive. Hell, maybe the DVD didn't play.
AND WHO THE HELL CARES! How can you beat being seen simultaneously in Hartford, New Zealand and Wales. To anyone who sees the film out there: Jack and I would love to hear your thoughts. Please write us here.

Thank you so much Jeff and Dean!
Your encouragement keeps us going.
Please spread the word and keep in contact. I'd love to hear more about if its easier or harder to find lasting love in New Zealand.
