More Fesival news is coming...

Yes, I haven't written in awhile. Being on the road makes it hard. Even when we have a moment to relax, resting would take over as the best option :) We are now in Tacoma. A cool mix of industrial ships and grand old brick buildings that are unfortunately empty. The old town is where the Grand Theatre is housed in a row of brick buildings. I love them. Wharehouse style with great wrought iron windows. Anyhow. We had our Gala screening on Thursday. A packed house. Very cool. The festival people are wonderful. Of course the filmmaker gene kicked into gear when the sound levels were WAY too low. Made it a hard screening to watch hoping that everyone could hear it. We weren't able to do a sound check this time as they were very busy preparing for the lovely party they had before the film.
BUT after feeling strange all day yesterday we have let it go. We know people enjoyed it as they stayed to tell us so but.....man it would be nice to be a musician. It's live. You can create it as you go and have the immediate response from the audience. Once a film is viewed that's it. There's no one buying it and watching it over and over like you do with a soundtrack. Perhaps we are in the wrong business?? Haha. Or..no, letting it go. We can make it easy for ourselves. Think positively and move ahead. Going on a tour would be grand. On that note I will bid adieu and say I WILL BE BACK with more to say on our fantastic time at the Port Townsend Film Festival and the Calgary Festival. And the many delish espresso's we've had in Seattle and Vancouver. More festival news is coming......
