So, stressing a little at the moment. I've sent two emails off to Warsaw IFF and they haven't responded. My bad mind is telling me that Warsaw IFF is now rethinking the whole Stro at the festival. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to invite me. He seems needy. Rational mind is telling me it's only been a day and they are probably a bit busy over in Poland. Bad mind has a bit of an edge at the moment.
Couple that with me trying to get my film uploaded for the Burbank IFF. I thought I should just get it to them now. Why wait? But Cinesend, the company dealing with the Digital Cinema Packages (DCP) keeps telling me that I should be receiving an email in a couple of months and I should wait for that. Yet, I have an email containing all the instructions on how to send the film to Cinesend. Grrr.
On the plus side, I did straighten out the delivery problem with SimpleDCP, the people who have my film. I had emails back from them saying they didn't know what to go about sending the film to Cinesend. But I called my point person at SimpleDCP, Kelly, and she said they had no problem with uploading the film to Cinesend's servers rather than delivering a Hard Drive. Excellent. Hopefully, Warsaw IFF has servers to upload the film to as well. But like I said, Warsaw hasn't responded to my emails!!!!
I'll be calm. Or I'll try to be calm.
In the scheme of things, against the backdrop of the world situation, these are minor inconveniences. But, I'm still twisting up.
Plus, my sisters have both indicated they want to be in Warsaw for the festival. Which is odd.
Also in the spying front, someone in Toronto has now seen my film twice. Or two someones have seen it once. Please, oh please.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
