Denny Screening, Sound Design & Film Festivals Rejections

Last week I screened the film to Denny Rosen, he is the director of Camp Ojibwa. 3 1/2 years ago when I showed up to Camp Ojibwa we had made a signed agreement when I started filming that Denny would have final say on the whether the film would be released. If we disagreed over something in the cut an arbitrator would be brought in. Naturally I was nervous when I screened, but it went great. He was brought to tears at the end. Although he didn't sign any official location releases he definitely loved it and didn't make any threats to my life at the end.

This week I got several unfortunate replies from film festivals. I got rejections from Sundance, Slamdance and Palm Springs. Blasts to the ego but no sweat for the film. There's dozens of more festivals, I'm sure eventually it will find some nice festivals.

We are very close to finishing sound design and music composition. Just a few last songs to tweak and two temp songs to replace. I think I'm going to start color correction soon as well.
