Thank you Twister Alley!

I had a wonderful time at Twister Alley Film Festival this past weekend. It was my second visit to Oklahoma (the first being FLY Film Fest last August) and I hope I'm able to go back there again! It really is a beautiful part of the country. And, thank goodness, despite the festival's name, I didn't see any twisters!

The beautiful Woodward Theatre.

I did see some wonderful films, though, and make a bunch of talented new friends. At this point I've seen a fair number of the films that have been on the festival circuit lately, so it was a nice chance to revisit some favorites as well. The whole festival was a wonderful experience; Josh and everyone in charge were so welcoming and friendly. By the end of a couple days I felt like I'd known everyone for ages. It was hard to leave! Particularly because this will likely be my last festival trip for a while.

I did get a nice surprise on the last night - a Director's Choice Award for Girl Meets Roach! A wonderful way to start wrapping up our festival run.

Director's Choice! Thank you Twister Alley!

Imbroglio Meets Girl Meets Roach

This was a very exciting weekend for King Fish Productions, because BOTH of our short films screened at the same festival! Imbroglio and Girl Meets Roach were both Official Selections of the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, right here in good old Los Angeles at the Regal Cinemas LA Live. And Imbroglio was even awarded Best Action Short Film!

Since the festival was local, we were lucky enough to have a bunch of our cast and crew in attendance. Here's the Girl Meets Roach gang:

Editor, composer, actress, director, writer/producer/actress, and actor. Oh my!

Both films have screened at a number of festivals by now, but this is the first time we've been able to appear at the same one, so it really felt like something special. Many thanks to HRIFF for making this happen!

Awards update!

Fun news from Copa Shorts Film Fest! While I unfortunately wasn't able to attend this festival in person, I heard today that Girl Meets Roach was awarded Best Comedy by the jury, and was also screened in the Best Of Fest screening block on the final night of the festival.

As you can see we're pretty happy about it!

We wish we could have been there! Thank you Copa Shorts! We are honored, and so glad you enjoyed our film.

Exciting news from Threadbare Mitten!

It all happened so quickly I didn't even have the chance to post about it, but Girl Meets Roach was accepted into the first annual Threadbare Mitten Film Festival in Charlotte, Michigan, which took place this past weekend. I was really happy about being part of this festival, because they were looking for quirky, unique films - which meant Girl Meets Roach was a great fit.

We unfortunately weren't able to attend the festival, so I didn't find out at the time, but I learned today that Girl Meets Roach won the People Pleaser Audience Award! It's the only Audience Award available to non-Michigan productions, so we're very honored to have received it, and so happy that the audience enjoyed our film so much.

We pleased the people!

Many thanks to the festival organizers and the audience at Threadbare Mitten! Next stop, Toronto!
