US Festival PREMIERE! World Circus - Update 11



FESTIVAL PREMIERE!
The film will have its film festival premiere at the acclaimed Sedona International Film Festival February 27th, 2013, in Sedona, Arizona. 
"recognized by filmmakers and audiences as one of the top festivals in the nation (and named the “Fest to Impress” by MovieMaker Magazine), the 2013 edition will continue a tradition of honoring those motivated by passion for their art and driven by a love for making timely, moving and important films."

NOTES from Angela Snow - Director / Producer 
UPDATE
  • If you noticed, the film did not screen at Sundance. Considering the acceptance rate was only 1.4% of submissions (harder than getting into Harvard, which has a 5.9% acceptance rate), with over 12,000 films submitted, I feel no regret. I'll save conquering Sundance for another film! 
  • I have since submitted to 11 other top festivals. The amazing thing is, Sedona International Film Festival was the first to announce their films. The first answer, the first yes!
  • The film has been viewed privately within the circus community to a wonderful response. Showing in Sarasota, Monte Carlo, and San Diego. 
  • Recently, I realized that this past December (2012) marked 3 years that this film has been in production. Three years...that's IT! I can't believe it. Planning, filming, and editing, it feels like it has been 10 years.  

THE SCREENING
Two screenings of the film, followed by a Q&A, will take place at the Sedona International Film Festival -  Wednesday, Feburary 27th at 9pm & Friday, March 1st at 9am 

If anyone is interested in attending the screening in Sedona, Arizona, please let me know, I would love to see you there! I plan to organize local circus artists to greet guests on Wednesday night and hope to be joined by the film's cinematographer, Ian Issitt, and music composer, Charles Newman. 

NEXT!
  • Since the first answer from a Film Festival was a YES, I am going to take this good news as a sign of things to come - for future updates on film festivals, please visit the film's Facebook Page or Website
  • Before the screening in Sedona, the film will undergo a few edit tweaks, final sound mix, and color correction, create a poster, plus, as always, take care of paperwork. My schedule is back to checking my calendar hourly to make sure I'm at the correct meeting at the right time.  
  • We will continue to wait for answers from other festivals, as well as submit to at least another 10 festivals as their submissions open throughout 2013. Deals for distribution will be sought, screenings planned & DVD sales arranged. DVDs will be available AFTER the Festival rounds are made and distribution deals worked out. 
  • January 2014 - plans are being made to screen during the 38th Monte Carlo Circus Festival. Hope to see you all there!
AS ALWAYS....THANK YOU!
