On this exciting Monday...

Posted July 21st, 2008 by acallis

Hello Everybody,

Let me start off by saying I'm sorry the blog on Friday kind of sucked :(. It wasn't very upbeat and that was my fault. I promise this one will be better :)

Ok, let's get started!!

We have received a TON of new films these past couple of weeks, and I am so thrilled to see that filmmakers are finishing up and getting their submissions in!! I also wanted to tell you that these same filmmakers are doing an awesome job of getting responses from the outside public! As we all know I try and do as much promotion as I possibly can... but the promotion that you guys do on your own can be a BIG help too! I'm working on getting that image created for voting, so you'll can post it or e-blast it out. I will let you know as soon as it's done!

We are getting super cereal about the festival... We're pounding out the details as I type and this will be the first place you can go to get the nitty-gritty! Currently we're working on getting some music up at Red Rocks for the shin-dig, and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed! So keep an eye out for updates on tickets and schedules... I wouldn't want you to miss any of the fun stuff we're planning!

The next Film on the Rocks will be this coming Thursday, they are screening "The Breakfast Club." In a very appropriate gesture, Gina and I will be there with a picnic full of breakfast food. So if you're in the mood, and in town, come on up and find us. It's kind of a pot-luck thing, so if you're coming bring a breakfast food and join us for the picnic party! I'm thinking that in order to make it easier for you to find us I'm going to make a Cinemocracy sign that we'll have up by our seat. That way you'll know who we are, because that's kind of important if you're coming to picnic right?

Lastly I want to tell all of the newly submitted filmmakers that if you have any pictures of your shoot, or took any celebratory pictures after you were done filming, SEND THEM TO ME!!! I really want to get some pictures up on our site and our social network sites so that people can see all the hard work you'll put into these films. Email your pictures to me at acallis@cinemocracy.org and make sure to include captions :) I look forward to seeing whatever you guys send in!

Alright, I have got to get back to planning (I am so overly excited about this that it might be a little disgusting :). So have a good day, and I'm sure I'll be talking to you'll soon!
