Well, it has been a crazy, busy few weeks.
The big news is Jay and I moved to Chicago! He was offered a position as Executive Director of a Chamber of Commerce and Chicago had been high on our list of possible cities to live, so we decided to come up. We’ve been here about 2 1/2 weeks now and are loving it! It’s a terrific city with tons of culture and arts. We’re really excited about what’s to come.
We’ve begun submitting Hope for a Thorn to film festivals, but it’ll be a while until we hear anything. Also still trying to come up with the perfect title. I’ve been hoping that it’ll just hit me while walking down the street one day, but no luck yet.
In short film news, my film Life To Go has been selected to play Girl Fest Hawaii next month. Check out their website for more information. I’d love to go, but unfortunately can’t really afford a trip to Hawaii right now. I also recently learned that my short The Girl Who Couldn’t Dream is a finalist (one of 12) in the Lifetime Movie Network’s Every Woman’s Film Competition! I’m thrilled about it! Even if I don’t get any further than that, it’s really an honor to be a finalist. Last year’s judges included Angela Bassett, Jennifer Lopez, and Mimi Leder, so it’s exciting to know that high calibre women will be viewing my film. Among the prizes is the opportunity to be played on Lifetime, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
There’s some really exciting news for Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie, Jay’s fantastic documentary, too. Keep an eye on his site for some announcements.
