July 16, 1998

I got all excited yesterday because there was a message on my machine from the Independent Feature Project/West, whose New Visions film series I'd applied to recently. No one I'd sent the film to had ever called before, and I had high hopes of an acceptance. But, when I finally got in touch with the IFP/West guy today, it turned out that he was merely calling to turn me down in person.... Still, it was a slightly encouraging development. The fellow I talked to, Josh Welch, said that he liked the film, and I found out there were 100 applicants for the screening I missed out on; I doubt he was calling every one of them back. He also said that a representative from the IFP/West would check out HONEYMOON at the film market, so maybe he has something in mind for the film, like a future New Visions screening.
