I was going to make a handwriting joke, but out of respect for DM and his taxed bandwidth, I’ll refrain.
RE: Stro - Drunk Monk - 05-06-2020
like a recursive pun? might as well go for it. it gives my some schadenfreude to see the depravity of your witzelsucht.
RE: Stro - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 05-06-2020
Cursive, foiled again!
Now you see the writing on the wall, Herr Schadenfreude.
RE: Stro - Drunk Monk - 05-06-2020
okay, i confess, that's a good one.
see? see how taxed my bandwidth is now? i even like your damn pun.
RE: Stro - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 05-06-2020
Dude...!
RE: Stro - Drunk Monk - 05-06-2020
it's the multi-levelness of that pun with the foiled bit. kudos maestro.

tQ asked me why I hadn't entered Tribeca last night after I had mentioned I'd found another $7 entry into some third world film festival. I had no good response.
I immediately went to Film Freeway to see about entering. Sure enough, you could enter on Film Freeway but entries were already closed. After a lot of digging, I found out this year's festival had been cancelled. It was supposed to run in mid-April. I'm pretty sure New York was already closed by then.
But the information that really amazed me was that the Tribeca Film Festival generates $600million dollars a year in revenue.
Maybe I just need to start running my own film festival?

No, best not. It would probably help to be Robert DeNiro as well.

Cocktails with the Valley Film Festival went well. Nothing earth shaking. We basically just introduced ourselves and talked for a minute about our films. Some people talked for more than a minute. It was also a chance for the VFF to tell us how they were actually going to go about hosting a festival during the pandemic. It felt nice to be included even if they haven't officially accepted Stro into the festival. There was some talk about a distributor desperately looking for Documentaries. I will follow up with them on that. Maybe they might have some interest with The Last Captain.
And in the picture below, one of these things does not look like the other.

In my latest donated article for my school, I gave STRO a plug - see https://www.plumpub.com/kaimen/2020/xingyi-sheltering/.
Not going to be able to work for free anymore. Not like this. Maybe I'll move it all to my blog site.
RE: Stro - Greg - 05-09-2020
Shout out!

I just hit 51 entries. Which is probably way too many, unless I don't get into any festivals, then it certainly wasn't enough. Or I should have made a better film. But I'm going with the first option.
I thought I was done at 49 but then the Genre Blast Festival in Viriginia sent out a waiver for all fees. I figured I should enter the film where I didn't have to pay any money to at least get the film looked at. Then over the weekend, I noticed that Cork, Ireland has been running a festival for over 65 years and is a feeder to BAFTA and the Oscars. If I'm accepted, I get to go to Ireland. So, I'm at 51. I'll stop there no matter how tempting the obscure St. Petersburg Festival is.
I'm currently obsessing over the Analytics for the film. Vimeo tells me where and how much of the film people have seen. That's why I knew that the two festivals in Canada had seen it because I could track them on Vimeo. I have two notifications of entry this week. One is in England and the other is in Turkey. At the moment, 9% of Stro has been viewed in Istanbul. 0% has been seen in England.
It's going to be a long six months of me waiting for acceptance by the Festivals. I've set up a calendar to show when the notifications are going out. I also get the same info on Film Freeway, but the Calendar shows me a month at a glance.
Of course, I'm not obsessing. Why do you ask? Time to go hit refresh to see if anybody has watched in England, yet.

interesting analytics. hoping for the best for stro, of course.
