If anyone is attending the Austin Film Festival this coming week, a feature film I wrote and work-shopped on SS, The Suicide Theory, is playing opening night (October 23rd), 10 p.m. @ Alamo Draft Village and again October 27th, 9:30 p.m. @ Bullock Texas State History Museum Texas Spirit Center. The film ended up winning the Grand Jury Prize for best picture @ the Dances With Films Festival in Hollywood, where it was screened at Grauman's Chinese Theaters (one of the most famous cinemas in the world). The film also won the Special Jury Prize, Best Supporting Actor and Best Cinematography @ the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in Melbourne, Australia last month. I will not be in attendance in Austin due to another project I'm working on, but stop by and check out the film, meet the director, producers, etc. Tell them you know me and maybe they'll buy you a beer (maybe).
While I'm at it, a short horror film I wrote and work-shopped on SS about a year ago, The Dead Guy in the Trunk, will be screening twice next month @ Monsterfest in Melbourne, Australia next month. All I know is that the festival is running from Nov. 20-30. Don't have dates and times yet.
BTW, I like this poster better than the last one. I could just do without the green frame, it sticks out too much imo. Ruins the composition. But I think it's a more appropriate poster then the one before, which appeared like a teaser poster.
Good luck on the festival circuit. Any idea when the movie will hit VOD?
Depends on which distribution company picks up the film. We turned down the grand prize from winning the Dances With Films Festival, which was a distribution deal with Gravitas Ventures. And we turned down four other offers. Austin Film Festival is a pretty big one, hence more exposure, hence more distribution offers. Would be cool to get a limited theater release first, but we shall see.
As for the poster, I really dig this one. The director actually designed the art for this one as a promo poster for our Austin screenings, but think it may stick.
@ Demento - Thanks for the well wishes, man, think you actually read the script like 6 years ago when I had it posted on here.
@ Dustin - Thanks for the kudos, bro. Best of luck to future endeavors. Will be more to come, I'm sure.

Yeah I did. I was lurking here for like a month or two. I read a few feature scripts. That was the one that stuck out the most. I really look forward to seeing the movie. Hope it does great.

Thanks, guys. I think after Austin, the producers will focus more on choosing a distributor for the film, though we may be in a few more film fests. None of us expected to get into a film festival as big and important as Austin, but the opportunity will most certainly get us a deal that we can all wrap our arms around. Eventually.
Will keep everyone posted. And just a reminder: The Suicide Theory is playing tonight (10 p.m.) at Alamo Draft Village as part of the Austin Film Festival... awards luncheon is on Saturday, so whether we win anything or not, I'll find out then. But if you're in or around Austin tonight, swing through and check out the film! Tell me what you think!
Two new reviews surfaced today as The Suicide Theory approaches its Austin Film Festival tonigjt at 10! The response to the film has been overwhelming! Sure to be a ton of new reviews after the screening!

@ Pia -- Was not in attendance, but I heard it went great... some people I know couldn't get in because the movie was sold out... was very well received by the audience.
