SLIFF On The March!

[jabberwocky]

I have now attended 13 SLIFF events this year. All but one were very awesome and well worth my while. The one that was not was due to a variety of things. In addition to just not really caring for the movie, the (DVD) print was horrible, I had the worst toothache of my life that night, driving to Plaza Frontenac was a particularly crappy

As for DVD: That is an excellent question, and I don't know the answer for sure. It HAS been very successful in its festival run (the director said last night it has played 45 festivals and won top honors at 20 of them, which is an unheard-of success rate--however, he also said that SLIFF was pretty much the biggest/most prestigious festival it had yet played, and again, it has a new edit, et cetera et cetera), and that can count for something. Really I am unfamiliar with the way things work when it comes to that. All I can do is befriend the MySpace page and cross my fingers, I guess!

I mean, this movie, while it has elements that would put it in the "independent mainstream" (actors that've done other visible work, a half-million dollar budget, a successful festival run, extreme awesomeness)--which is an oxymoron of course--it's also still a significantly independent production. So the short answer is "who knows?" and "hopefully."

As for theatres, I believe they mentioned it did play at the Omaha Film Festival but they made it sound like that was in the past, and not the future (or heck, maybe I'm confusing it for another film I saw this week--I can't find any record of that on their website, so maybe it IS in the future...). Other than that, I would not count on it.
