The mysteries of fest acceptances






Maybe someday I'll figure out film festival acceptances, but I'm not holding my breath! You can go weeks, sometimes months with nothing except silence or an e-mail indicating yet another rejections...and then....
I got 2 acceptances this week, for 2 different shorts, and I'm delighted with both of them.


The Last Supper got its first acceptance: it's an official selection of the Silicon Valley Film Festival (http://www.svfilmfestival.org/). This is a first-year fest in Sunnyvale, CA, and they'll screen in what looks like a great location - the AMD Commons Theater (above left).


Then I found out that Foreclosed has been accepted to the Southern Appalachian International Film Festival (http://www.soapiff.com) in eastern Tennessee. I'm especially tickled by the fact that this is the first southern festival that we'll screen at - or for that matter, that any of my shorts will screen at. Their poster is above on the right.
I won't make it to the Silicon Valley fest because it's the same day as the Foreclosed screening at Columbia Gorge (I can't complain about that problem I guess), but I'm very much hoping to make it down to Tennessee for their festival. I'll be watching the mail for updates.
