World Premire time.
I know, I know, it’s hard
enough to believe that the movie is finally FINISHED but the idea that people can
actually gather together in a public place and WATCH the thing well….that’s
almost incomprehensible!
And yet it’s true. I’m super excited to announce that Nerdcore For Life will be making it’s WORLD PREMIRE at the 10th annual Wisconsin Film Festival, April 5th 2008! (I add “2008” because for a while I thought the film might have its world premiere in 2006 and then I was absolutely positive that we’d have the premiere in 2007. But 2008 ain’t too bad. At least I had the decade right.)
The Wisconsin Film Fest takes
place every year in the state’s capitol of Madison.
I think they sold like 20,000 frickin’ tickets last year so it’s easily one
of the biggest festivals in the Midwest. So how the heck did our goofy movie get
accepted….especially considering that we just finished it a few days ago? Ummm, yeah I ummm, I…don’t really know. We even got a SATURDAY NIGHT slot in the line up! Seriously, WTF!?
My editors Kipp and KC Norman
are native Wisconsinites and so when the deadline for the WFF (cool film people use
the fest’s abbreviation) came around they asked if I minded if they submitted the
film. We only had a rough cut at that
point but I said, hey knock yourselves out.
Now it is I who is the one who has been knocked out! (That makes no sense but that sentence amuses
me) Anyway, how or why the festival
decided to give us a shot is still a mystery to me. Seriously…the rough cut we sent them was
roooough. Lucky for us (and them) I think the final
product turned out wicked awesome though. The programmers must have recognized that we were just dripping with potential. (my 4th grade teacher wrote the same thing about me on my report card)
So if you wanna see the film, go to the Wisconsin Film Fest's website, buy a ticket and then meet me in Madison! See you there suckers!
