"GODSPEED" IN SF!

Much thanks to Holly Roach and Jeff Ross for having us at the 2010 San Francisco Independent Film Festival. Both screenings were at the wonderful Roxie theater, with great Q&A from the crowd.

"GODSPEED" -- BACK "HOME"

We screened at the Anchorage International Film Festival on Dec. 6th and 11th. It was great coming back "home," and we hope to play Anchorage again as well as other AK regions. All Alaska fans -- let your local theatres know about the film!

Thanks to Rand and Tony for having us out there for the festival.

"GODSPEED" LOVES AUSTIN!

Our screenings went very well thanks to the smart, responsive, and passionate Austinites in the audience. Some of the best Q&A we've had so far!

We want to thank Kelly, David, Adrian, Samantha, and of course our kick-ass liasons, Stephanie and Eddie for making it all happen.

CineVegas goes on hiatus for next year's festival

This is very sad, disappointing news. CineVegas represents an important stop for edgier independent fare that many times is not recognized by other festivals. Our film GODSPEED benefiting greatly from the well-run, and well-publicized festival. We'll keep watching for more news with the hope that the festival will return as strong as ever.

"Godspeed" is the Closing Night Gala Film at the Idaho Int'l Film Festival.

Thanks to Bruce Fletcher and the rest of the Idaho FF team for having us. Great audiences and great filmmakers!
