Online Indy Awards!

So I've been working with some other people over the internet, and we agreed that we should make an online film festival for the average person making youtube videos. Well, here's the website, so check it out and get the word out!

Screenshots!

Finally figured out how to do them, so here are a few! Oh, and the Beverly Hills Shorts Festival confirmed that they received it...

Confirmed!

Ok, so all of the festivals except for the "Beverly Hills Shorts Fest" have confirmed that Manhunter has arrived! So now, we just wait...

Quick Updates

First off, Happy Independence Day America!

Now, I just wanted to let you all know that most of the aforementioned festivals I've submitted to so far have confirmed that the entry has arrived, so I'm just waiting on three to confirm that they've received the DVD. Also, the terror film festival has a site with all the submitted films, and "Manhunter" is a part of it! Check it out here. Well that's all for today, I'm still trying to figure out how to do screen shots on Final Cut Pro.

Film Festivals!

Ok, so I just submitted Manhunter to 13 more film festivals, so here are the ones I might be able to get into.

Nashville Film Festival- Tennessee
Moab Film Festival- Utah
Terror Film Festival- Pennsylvania
Standing Rock Film Festival- Ohio
Imaginaria Film Festival- Italy
Exground Film Fest- Germany
Nocicortinfestival- Italy
Schit Film Festival- Switzerland
Starz Denver Film Festival- Colorado
Hawaii International Film Festival- Hawaii
Flint Film Festival- Michigan
Chicago International REEL Shorts Festival- Illinois
Beverly Hills Shorts Festival- California
Woodstock Film Festival- New York
Imago Film Festival- Portugal

I'll try and keep you updated on whether or not it gets in any of these!

Finished!

Well, after about 1 month of editing, I think that I finished the final copy of "Manhunter"! Just in time for the Lisbon Film Festival Deadline too! So right now I'm converting it to a good format for internet to upload it to "Reelport", a cool online film festival site that lets you submit to festivals online without any mail submissions. Just to let you know that its good, I watched it about 4 times today just to make sure the audio and video looked and sounded as good as I possibly could get them, and, well, it passed my very judgemental eye. There still might be extremely minor changes as I see new problems, but after watching it about 30 times in all, I think everything that I've salvaged the maximum I could from the useable footage. So now I'll mostly just be keeping updates on showings and festivals. Once I can figure out how to do screenshots from the movie in Final Cut Pro, I'll get some of those up. The total running time is 12 minutes and 48 seconds. If anyone would be willing to help me get a showing in their town, just leave a comment below with your email or some way to contact you and hopefully we could arrange something!

Reactions

Ok, while the whole thing isn't completely done yet, I have had a few people look at the rough cuts that are pretty close to what the actual thing is going to look like. I think so far, everyone has thought the ending was really good, and the beginning sets it up great. No one has said they don't like it, so this is giving me some hope for getting it in some film festivals! Today, I'm going to submit it to the Woodstock Film Festival in New York under the "Youth/Teen" category, so hopefully I'll get in there!
