Last year, Brian and I received word that our short horror film 'Throwaway' had been accepted into the Festivus Film Festival. This was a festival we had tried to get into the prior year, but they didn't have space for us. However, the film left a good impression on the judges and they decided to just grandfather us into the 2010 festival.
The festival runs from Jan 14-17 in Denver, Colorado at The Oriental Theater. 'Throwaway' will be screening Saturday, Jan 16 at 6pm in a big short film block at the Oriental. Here is a link to our B-Side screening page with more details, a trailer and pictures: http://festivus.bside.com/2010/films/throwaway_festivus2010;jsessionid=95B1BF8D621494793087A4DC6DFD30A0
I gotta say... getting into film festivals is usually bittersweet. Depending on the festival, you go through two phases. 1) Being excited that your film was accepted... to 2) Being upset by how bad the festival is run. Well, so far everything we have seen from Festival has been great. Stellar website, big attention to filmmakers, tons of useful information, and good promotion of the featured films. Hell, they even have their screeners do video reviews of some of the films, and 'Throwaway' was chosen and received a very positive review:
