Public Interest at AFM
November 13, 2008
We just finished up are adventure at AFM. The atmosphere was amazing and we got the chance to get the film in the hands of several distribution companies. We got to meet with a lot of great filmmakers and share our stories and really dig our feet into the distribution and selling aspect of filmmaking. Now begins the waiting period as we wait for the companies we've met with to actually watch the film and start the back and forth with them and find out who might have interest in picking up the film for distribution.

Festival Recaps (5 Nominations, 1 WIN)
August 12, 2008
Last weekend (8/7-8/10) PUBLIC INTEREST screened in TWO different festivals. The film was nominated for awards at both and we had a total of three screenings in the four day period. The first festival was the Pocono Mountains Film Festival, followed by the Downbeach Film Festival in Margate, NJ.
Here is a recap of the weekend's activities.
PUBLIC INTEREST NOMINATIONS:
Pocono Mountains Film Festival: Best Feature Film, Best Director (Brad Robinson)
Downbeach Film Festival: Best Independent Film, Best Director (Brad Robinson), Best Actress (Kristina Klebe).
Our director, Brad Robinson, made the trek up to the Pocono Mountains Wednesday night for the festival. The film screened Thursday morning and Friday afternoon. While both screenings attracted unfortunately small audiences, the response to the film was amazing. Those who got a chance to see the film were huge fans and quickly became loud supporters of the film at the festival. On Thursday morning, Brad did an interview for a local news station that appeared on the 11 o'clock news that night. The interview was more about the festival then the film itself, but it was still a nice piece nonetheless.
While Brad was in the Poconos, producers Nicole DeFalco and Michelle Orren made their way to the Margate/Atlantic City area to represent the film there. The Downbeach Fest had some really great parties and special guests. We were able to meet some really great filmmakers and get the film into a few people's hands. On Saturday night, they gave special awards out to William Forsythe and Kevin Smith, who were both in attendance and conducted Q&As with the crowd. On Sunday, Brad made it out to the shore to accompany Nicole and Michelle for the mid-day screening. The Downbeach venue was one of the nicest venues we've screened in. Picture...
