The Young Cinema Award

September 7, 2008 05:10 by author

SELL OUT! has just won the Young Cinema Award for Alternative Vision from the Venice Film Festival! The Young Cinema jury is made up of 80 persons aged 18-25. The Alternative Vision award is the only one we qualified for (since we were not in the Main Competition). Too bad we didn't get the Critic's Week prize but that was decided by jury of only 3 people...

so, anyway, we're all back from Venice! it was a crazy, wonderful, unexpected experience! the critics' week people were terrific and took great care of us and our audiences were such happy, joyful people (except from one old scrooge from a certain influential industry publication, ha ha) who seemed to love and support the film as if it were their own!

Peter's devoted fan

Look at what a devoted fan wrote about Peter....

"It so seems that Orson Welles’ lesson in Citizen Kane is still very relevant, althought new and more appealing protagonists are appearing, such as Peter Davis in Sell Out–some really hot guy, whom we love to hear speak (saying no matter what) again and again."

LOL!

Peter and Jerrica in demand

Jerrica and Peter are getting mobbed by fans and autograph hunters. If you google "Peter Davis" and "$e11.ou7!" under blogs, you will find a Canadian girl with a crush on our lead actor, ha ha.

Sell Out! Premiere

Our world premiere went very well! We actually have fans now, ha ha. People are asking for our "Sell Out!" badges and posters. And everyone's asking if we'll have a soundtrack CD :-) Our team did such great work promoting the film, especially Zoe (who's our "PR manager") and Faye (James' GF) who's our top "salesperson"!

Sell Out! Press screening was packed

Sell Out! Press Screening over! I'm falling asleep and running out of precious internet connection credit, but here's a quick note to say our press screening went remarkably well, judging by the laughter, happy faces and overheard comments. Of course we won't know for sure until the reviews (if any) appear.

Because our screening was packed (Zoe has a video of the long and winding queue), only Eric and I were allowed into the screening. Anyway, I'll write more tomorrow after our official World Premiere at 2PM Venice time. And maybe, for once, someone else will chip in :-)
