56 Minutes
I submitted an inquiry to First Hand Films last week. I had seen a trailer for Corridor #8 (one of their films). It's a great looking doc. with an artistic temperament. It won the Ecumenical Jury Award at the Berlinale Film Festival this year. First Hand manages a ton of documentaries of this kind but they're - mostly European. As a U.S. based production we're definitely outside the box in submitting to them but touch wood they will take a serious look at our film.
They came back wanting to see the short version so this weekend I shaved off 25 minutes from the project. Now we have a super-tight 56 minutes and it's a much better film. This new short version puts us in a much better position to get broadcast sales. Good business, touch wood, is good art. Anyway the DVD screener is on its way this week.
