Reposted on: 2.4.19 2329.01 | So, I know I've talked about my dvd company here before, but did you know I also produced a movie?
It's called QWERTY. It's a romantic drama/comedy. It was made for about 50k. There's a trailer here:

There's a facebook here:

This month we're playing in Kansas City, Nashville and Dallas. Next month we're playing in Hawaii. More dates to follow.
Thanks for your support.

Did you know I run a film festival for "Great Short Films by the World's Best Young Filmmakers" called the YoungCuts Film Festival? www.YoungCuts.com
I am assuming that QWERTY is too long for us, but maybe you have some good short films to show us? Or there is a chapter of QWERTY that would act as a stand-alone story?

Maybe I got the wrong idea, but I'm WAY too old to participate in your film festival. Maybe my oldest, who is in college, might be able to send something your way. | Llakor

It's for filmmakers 29 or under. (We have a teen section, a 20-25 section and a "MasterClass" 26-29 section.)
I actually checked your profile, but your birthday's empty so I had no idea of your age. I took a shot. (And yes do tell your oldest to send us their film.)

Based on your trailer, you might want to consider Fantasia and other nerd-friendly film festivals (FantasticFest, etc.):

Do you have a critic version available online? Because I do write for Sound On Sight, when you are ready for reviews.

I assume that you are taking advantage of Scrabble competitions to promote the movie?

Reposted on: 4.4.19 1331.21 | Wow, I hadn't thought at all about Fantasia, since we aren't a genre film. I guess I'll write Mitch today and see what he thinks.
I believe there's a new private vimeo link for reviewers coming shortly. I'll get one to you, if you give me your E-mail address. (You didn't link me to whatever you wanted the 2nd link to be).
Call me prejudiced, but I really shudder to think what a producer in their 20's would do with 50k to make a movie. | Guru Zim

Thanks for the suggestion. It just so happens Mitch posted this weekend about what a bear it is to watch a bunch of shitty movies for the festival. It was a great segue for reminding him about my movie. I even quoted your "nerd-friendly" line. He's gonna have a look. | theremin

Reposted on: 12.4.19 2314.05 | Some tweets from people who went to the premiere tonight:
@LWatkins84 - Thought QWERTY was adorable. It sure did make me miss Chicago, though. #kcfilmfest
@BeccaRoman - #QWERTY was really thought-out and had great editing. Director #BillSebatian was great to answer questions afterwards. #kcfilmfest
@JohninKC - Just saw QWERTY @kcfilmfest Its a quirky little charmer with some perverse undertones. I enjoyed it. More on it tonight at the usual spot.
@BeccaRoman - I just saw #QWERTY and it was AMAZING. There's another showing of it Saturday at Ward Parkway. Def. check it out! #kcfilmfest
