Rick Palidwor Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Just a self-serving bump on this as it screens this weekend. Anyone on this board in the New Jersey area? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats too :-) Scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats too :-) Scot <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are screening a DVD copy. Not sure what the projection equipment is but it's a pretty big festival so I assume it's alright. Not sure on screen size either but I believe it is a big auditorium so screen must be a decent size. Unfortunately I cannot make it to the screenings so I may never know.

We happen to like it, but always maintain that people can call wide-gate super 8 anything they like. We didn't invent it. Though just for the record (and we have posted this elsewhere), when people say "super-duper 8" sounds amateursish, which I think would describe your response, we feel compelled to point out that with all the major press we have received for our super-duper 8 feature Sleep Always, from Kodak's In Camera magazine, to Germany's Schmalfilm to Playback (Canadian trade paper) the editors chose to high-light the name, using super-duper in the title of the article. In other words, though it may sound silly, it has not resulted in any of the trade papers taking us less seriously than they might have otherwise. In fact, it seems to be a marketing hook for them.
