FAMILY: April 2008 Archives

Hey everyone.

Just a quick update to say that The Method Fest was absolutely wonderful. And… we picked up 2 nominations. Best Short and Best Actor.

Not only that, I actually won for Best Actor!!!

Yeeee Haaaaa!!!! And I have to say, I’ve never before seen such astonishing work at a festival. The shorts that they put together for this festival were some of the finest films I have ever seen. Just mind blowing work. Had a lot of good friends there too. Bri McQuair, JR Bourne, Mike Rudd, Phil Hayes, Rob Stilson, Mark Rickerby, Claudia Rickerby, Derek Horne, Ali Nakelski, Paul McGillion, Stevie Styles… and of course my Dad. It was a great week and it was a real blast to finally take an award.

That said… so far, the little film that could has screened ‘in competition’ in Montreal. Nominated for Best Emerging Director in Vancouver. Made the Top Ten lists in both Santa Barbara and Palm Springs and now, a nomination for Best Short, and a win for Best Actor. Not bad.

We’ve also been accepted as part of the film market in Cannes AND been asked to screen at the exceptional Jackson Hole International Film Festival in Wyoming.

All we need now is to win the lottery. My god this stuff costs money. Anyway, just wanted to give you guys a quick update.

Thanks again everyone for all the support. Thank you Method Fest!!

Sincerely,

Colin
