Santa Claus came early this Holiday Season as I had the fortunate opportunity to be interviewed on the show: Watch My Shorts. A show committed to showing short films and interviewing up and coming filmmakers. Getting Lucky was selected as one of the films to be viewed on the show, which airs in Springfield, IL.
This is what I love about the festival circuit---you never know what may happen with your film and what opportunities may arise.
I had submitted Getting Lucky to the Route 66 Film Festival that took place in September. Getting Lucky was selected to the film festival, but unfortunately, I was not able to attend as I had already committed to another film festival that was taking place at the same time.
My good friend and talented filmmaker, Julia Rodochia, was going to be in attendance at the Route 66 Film Festival as her film, Eddie's Winning Date, was selected for the festival as well. She agreed to represent Getting Lucky as she was a consultant for the film.
Getting Lucky was well received at the Route 66 Film Festival. In particular, a couple of producers, the Berry brothers, were very complimentary of the film. Two months later, the film festival director, (the wonderful and multi-talented Linda McElroy) contacted me to see if I would be interested in showing my film on their program as well as be interviewed about the film.
Of course I was ecstatic and said yes! The interview took place on December 19th and it went extremely well. I had a great deal of fun chatting with Rachael (the hostess) and Linda McElroy, the Route 66 Film Festival Director.
The actual viewing date of Getting Lucky along with the interview, will be on February 9th.
A special thank you to Linda McElroy , Rachael, the Berry brothers, and everyone at Watch My Shorts for having me be a part of their wonderful show--- I hope to be a part of more collaborations!
What an amazing way to end 2006! I have so much to be thankful for and I feel truly blessed by all the success and opportunities the film has garnished and afforded me over the past year.
The film continues its successful journey on the film circuit as it was recently accepted to the Trail Dance Film Festival in Oklahoma! The festival begins at the end of January in 2007.
Happy Holidays and here's to a prosperous New Year!
