Okay…so I will do a more formal announcement about this exceedingly cool thing tomorrow or Sunday. At the moment, I have to admit that the week has left me exhausted. It was difficult generating sufficient steam to power myself through meetings and the minutia of my day, even.
I need to rest.
But! First…I need to give you all a heads up that RUNAWAY will be screening in Los Angeles at 8 PM as part of the Great American Pitchfest. An event they’re billing as a "Screenwriter Showcase".
It’s a pretty swank event, the Pitchfest—well attended and well advertised. The Pitchfest folks and I hit it off really well in Austin last year, and they are big fans of the movie. They know I’ve got some things in the pipeline and other things I am trying to get off the ground, and they wanted to spotlight an up-and-comer who could use the exposure in Tinseltown.
The details are just getting finalized now, but here are the particulars that I know so far:
DATE: Saturday, June 21
PLACE: Burbank Marriott Hotel and Convention Center — Academy One Ballroom.
COST: FREE!
TIME: Doors open at 7:30, screening at 8:00. After the movie, there will be a short interview with me and a Q&A, and then a reception with appetizers and beverages to follow that.
Very cool. I am quite honored and don’t know how to adequately thank them. Equally cool, it’s a way to get RUNAWAY back in the environment in which it performs best…in front of an audience.
Tell all your friends! And hope to see you there.
Congratulations!
I’d love to attend.. but it’s a bit of a distance. Someday I hope to see it though… Some day.. 🙂
What a fantastic way to celebrate your anniversary, too! Congrats!!
