Congratulations
to the cast and crew of the feature film CULTiVISION. The movie
has been accepted and will be shown at the New York International
Independent Film and Video Festival.
This is the largest Independent festival in the U.S. if not
the world. Last year only 30 features were chosen out of 2000
entries. The festival runs for 11 days in September starting
with an opening bash for the filmmakers at Madison Square Gardens.
There are expected to be 10,000 participants for this night.
The whole spectrum of the entertainment industry participates,
including: distributors, production companies, casting agencies,
and international press and media. Some of the studios that
usually attend are representatives from AFMA, Miramax, Fox Searchlight,
Sony Pictures, Lions Gate, FineLine, Giants Entertainment &
Palisades Pictures.
Previous actors that have had their movie at the NYIIFVF are
Andy Garcia, Calista Flockhart (Ally McBeal), Danny Aiello,
Christopher Walken, Willem Defoe, Eric Roberts, Claudia Schiffer,
Dana Delaney, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Lauren Hill, Lawrence Fishburne,
Ben Stiller, etc.
The festival will show movies at 3 cinemas during the 10 evenings
from 6pm-10pm. I will soon have the official date and viewing
place for Cultivision and I will let all of you know. Hey, you’re
welcome to come up to NY.
While there is no cost for me to have my movie shown, I am allowed
to rent a booth for the opening night at Madison Square Gardens
in order to promote the movie and get some big wigs there. Some
of my options are
-Size of booth
-Having the movie trailer played continuously on a tv monitor
during opening night.
-A movie poster made.
-Flyers printed up with the time that my movie will play.
-A tracking service for any newspaper mention of the movie.
-plus a lot more high dollar services.
So, if you would like to be a backer for this movie, the world
would be my oyster.
The smallest booth to rent for that night is $600 (don’t know
the specs yet). This sounds like a realistic goal for me to
try to obtain. If you are able to even participate with a loan
. . . that would be great and perfect. I’m not talking about
large amounts either. Anything would help.
I also am currently in the process of getting DVD’s of the movie
and trying to find a place for the party after the Atlanta premier
on April 27th.
Also, if anybody has any non-sarcastic suggestions of any kind
please email me.
Thanks forever.
