THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH SHORT FILMS

Colin Cunningham in Centigrade, © Turn Up the Heat Productions, 2007

Hope I don’t screw this up.

Okay. First entry into what I hope will be many. Provided I can actually get my lazy ass to document the coming months (years?). That said, welcome to CENTIGRADE the magical tour journal. A place where one can check in to see how one little short film is doing as it makes the rounds to various festivals and finally takes over the WORLD!!!

Will it be the first short film to break the 100 million opening weekend mark?

Will the film be celebrated and studied by cinephiles and critics the world over?

(Or, will my corpse be studied by med students pondering the physical effects of independent filmmaking and how it can age you faster than huffing glue.)

So, before we begin I should bring you up to speed. My name is Colin Cunningham. I’m the films Writer, Director and Actor guy. Ya, ya. One of those ‘do it all’ idiots. Lord knows, you’d have to be an idiot to think you could actually make a living doing this kind of thing.

That said, myself, Madison Graie (Producer) and Derrick Garland (other Producer) made a movie, sent it off to some festivals and here we go. First one on the list, Montréal International World Festival. And after that Palm Springs Short Fest.

So, this is the blog. The diary. The suicide note.

Hope you enjoy it.
