Quote me once, shame on me. Quote me twice, shame on you.
Today was going to be a Validation Day for the Coney Island Film Festival. I entered it because it was one of the top 25 films according to Moviemaker Magazine and it was close to Brooklyn and I am eager to screen in Brooklyn. But they pushed until Sunday. I also have validation for another BIFF on Monday, the Boston International Film Festival. Fun fact: I have only had one viewing in Massachusetts and that person only watched 19% of the film. To compound matters this is the second festival in Massachusetts. Why compete in Massachusetts? Bragging rights with my cousins, of course. I don't hold out a lot of hope.
In general, I haven't had anybody watch the film in over a month despite the fact I still have to hear back from about 38 festivals. For instance, I have two festivals in Ireland and one in England, but no one has watched the film in those countries. Although I was invited to participate in an online festival in London. At this point, the enthusiasm level is low.
I will feel a bit better once BIFF the first sends out an announcement and hands out laurels, because then I can make public announcements. That will be fun for the old ego. I did IM with Stro Jr today about release dates and such. He wants to show people the film and was ready to hand out the private link.

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