Last night saw the last screening for charity in the area at the Saratoga Film Forum. Thanks to the Forum and thanks to Derek for believing in the project. As indie film crowds go it was a great turnout, lots of great feedback and a very involved crowd. Mike Potts and his crew showed up in full support of Mike, who I'm casting in the next one as the rugged, Lake George, drug addicted, male prostitute. A natural progression from the role of "man protecting his home with rifle". Thanks again Mike...you did a great job! :-) We raised just around 300 dollars total for HATAS and got at least 70 new people to see the film. Now I realize something like this will not bring in crowds of a 100 (see previous blog promise...I knew I had nothing to worry about.) However we just hit around 200 or so downloads of the film which means the website is working and the idea fits the project. Don't know if I'm going to follow the same model as the next one, but you can bet there will be charity screenings and part of the sale proceeds to charity as well. I think we should help when we can...and I can.:-)
Again thanks to all who came out to see the film and thank you for your generous donations to HATAS...it will help! Please pass on the HATAS organization to friends...volunteer time, food, what you can, they are working hard to help those in need. As for the film if you liked it...pass it along to friends/link us...If you didn't like it email me right away...I want to know why for the next one.:-)
Cheers
John
PS for the person who sent me a comment for the blog about x-mas and Christianity...I don't think you got what I was trying to say. I find those things you mentioned in your comment to be distractions. The world would be a better place if we stopped following them blindly.
