I am *beat*. It has been an amazing, exhausting week at SXSW and I think I’m just about out of steam. Reviews are starting to come out… we had one that overall was positive today over at Cinematical.

The screenings went well. Great audience reaction and both shows sold out. Now we see what comes from those two screenings… First up should be more reviews in the coming days…

In the meantime, enjoy an interview with me, Rachel, Josh and Samantha!

Cover story in the Lebanon Daily News… thanks Lebanon!

Have had an *amazing* today. Am kind of in awe about how earnest this business actually can be – filled with so many people who create films out of nothing, and make it about the work. Gotta say SXSW gets it right. This is incredible. – Ben

Starting to get some press!

Well, here we are! Owen, our faithful intern, and I are in Austin at the hotel. I’m putting together digital press kits and arranging last minute travel details for Josh & Samantha, and Owen is braving the hotel printer in the business suite trying to get a map printed out for his walking route tomorrow to put up posters.

We had our first Texas BBQ. That was fun

I flew out way too early this morning, so only got four hours sleep. Tonight I’m going to hit the bed like a log, and then tomorrow, we hit the ground running for our last day of prep before the festival opens on Friday!

For Austin-ites (Austonians?), I have heard that individual tickets can be purchased day of, subject to availability. But if you’re here for the week, then get a pass to the whole festival and see everything! ‘Night all. – Ben

Hi there.

I’m totally blown away by the interest in the movie!  Since we debuted the trailer less than 48 hours ago, we’re already up to over 1,000 friends on Facebook and about 3,000 views of the trailer on youtube.

And that’s only one of four places it’s available! So thanks to all of you for checking it out.

There has been a flood of questions, so let me try to answer a few of them the best I can – click “more” to read! (more…)

And… the trailer. Click fullscreen and 720p for the best experience…

Good morning internet!

Lots of goodies for you today…

First, our main poster! (Gary Irwin w/ GI Creative went through an exhaustive process, ultimately ending up with *4* different designs! This one took the prize.).
