pryor, is there a way for us to watch it? it's great that you're having a positive response.

Yes, very nice reviews!

Nice, pryor, must feel good!

Watch out though, that's how they hook you ... sure, the first taste of good reviews is free, but then, they've got you hooked, and it's time for you to pay ...

thanks, all. i'm not sure if it's going to ever be online. haven't decided yet

DVD Panache

"gravida is equally about hope and identity. With a running time of 24 minutes, the film is tight with real conflict and emotion, taking great advantage of its short duration."

....

"gravida deals with a delicate subject matter, and could have lost the audience's interest and trust without a careful hand, but Lucas is certainly up to the task. Lucas' camera is never obtrusive, acting more as an invisible observer even when the story's emotions peak. Actors Rachel Shaw and Adam Kukic find their stride as the story builds and are able to sell the idea that their characters are facing troubling, adult decisions."

pryor, maybe you could just put it online for a short time, so us loungers can have a look.

that's an option. it'll also be available on DVD (along w/ L'Attente and guard duty) for like $8 (+ $2 s+h) in the next couple of days

Ok, so the quick trip report b/c I'm tired and hungover:

We drew 45 paying customers, which is a shade below our break-even point.

Jerome Wincek brought along Nate Custer to play with him. They played for about 45 min, Jerome on the banjo and Nate on the guitar.

After that, we had a short intermission, where we played a cheesy intermission video, complete with dancing hotdogs and whatnot.

Then the films. Everything ran well. People were really impressed with David Lowery's Some Analog Lines, they laughed during L'Attente, and you could hear a pin drop during gravida. as the end credits started, someone said, "that was tremendous" (or something like that). Overall, people seemed to really like it (or, if they didn't like it, they thought it was good).

we sold a couple of dvds. the tshirts got delayed en route, so we couldn't sell any of those. and then we drank wine.

the end

cool deal! that sucks about the t-shirts, though. You know, I'll buy one. And a DVD! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
