Today Chris Skeene was asked to speak on a panel titled Streaming On-Demand, DVDs vs. Theatres: A discussion of how today’s audiences see movies, as part of the Atlanta Film Festival’s Coffeehouse Conversations. He talked about the decision to send PEZheads - The Movie straight to DVD (aside from the film festival run), and about online distribution via digital downloads, which we have available at bside.com.
We’ll be in Portland, Oregon for the next week for the Longbaugh Film Festival, so merch shipping will be delayed until we return on April 3rd. If you live in the Portland area, come see the film and say hi to us on Saturday, March 31!
PEZheads - The Movie has been accepted into the Atlanta Film Festival! We don’t have screening dates & times yet, but we know we’re in! We’re really excited about this one, it’s supposed to be a LOT of fun… and it’s long — April 19 - 28; 10 days of festival madness!
That’s all we know for now. More news as we get it.
Well, it’s late and we’re tired, and we have a 10+ hour drive ahead of us tomorrow, but I just had to get on here and post that we were nominated for Best Documentary tonight at the Oxford Film Festival. We were pretty excited. We didn’t win… another great doc, Darius Goes West, took home the Best Documentary award as well as the Audience Choice award. We heard a lot of great things about that film, and are happy that they won.
We’ve had a great time at the festival, met some great filmmakers, and learned a lot. Also, we’ve got a fun review of the documentary from the local newspaper.
This weekend is the Oxford Film Festival in Oxford, MS. Our movie will be showing at 6:15pm on Friday, and Chris and I are heading to the festival Thursday. We’re looking forward to meeting people and getting to show more people how great PEZheads are! This does mean, however, that any merch orders ordered between today and Sunday will not be mailed until Monday. Just a heads up.
We also got into two more film festivals: Longbaugh Film Fest in Portland, Oregon, and Foursite Film Festival in Utah. Fun times ahead!
This week we’ve gotten word that PEZheads - The Movie will be showing at two more film festivals - the Sport Movies & TV - India FICTS Festival in Mumbai (Bombay), India, and the Oxford Film Festival in Oxford, Mississippi. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to fly to India, but at least the movie will get to go. Chris and I do plan to make the trip to Oxford, though, so we’re looking forward to that.
Also, I finally got around to posting a few photos from the Savannah Film Festival… you can find those photos here. We were pretty bad about taking pictures, so this is all we got. Hopefully we’ll do better at other ones.
And in case you missed it, the post below this gives you a DVD update… and we’ll have more updates to come soon related to the DVD release.
Happy PEZzing!
