Here's an interview with Jason and Andrew from the First Glance Film Festival: http://blip.tv/filmsnobbery-live/fgffho ... ng-6187320

Not the best interviewer in the world... but I really enjoyed finding out what Andrew and Jason had been talking about. I was standing about 15 feet away, sneaking pictures with my phone. I love Andrew--his enthusiasm for his craft is just palpable. He's such a nice guy, and he has this huge, warm, excited-little-kid energy about him. But the thing is, he's also very good at creating the vision that started out in his head. I loved all the stuff about creating mix CD's for the different characters, and taking the actors out to the different locations to give them a feel for how the story would progress. Andrew wrote a great screenplay, but then he cast fabulous actors and helped them bring that vision to life. And he's just so humble about it all. I lurve him.

And it goes without saying that I lurve Jason... he's such a generous guy, deferring to Andrew over and over when the interviewer tried to stomp on what Andrew was saying. (Starstruck, much?) Jason did a great job of helping keep the interview on track. Too bad the guy didn't have his mike closer to him, because it's hard to hear him sometimes. But everything he says is just awesome. And although he looked tired, he seemed really pleased to be there with his family, and in support of Andrew.

Classic Jason-- "youknowwhatImean?"

I love those guys, but Andrew needs to work a bit on his interview technique. His enthusiasm shines through, anyway!

I love that pic!

And DARN it. I'm going to be flying to California just about then.

Isn't that intense? How could anyone refuse??

(And, darn, about the whole flying to another state thing... )

with all these accolades SOMEONE please distribute this film!

I saw that, Lilly, thanks. I just figured there would be more festivals and more dates, that's all.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that the announcement in July will mean more.

More places. More showings.
