I thank you.




Phew. Well, that was fun. Last night's screening of "Blaming George Romero" was a huge success. We only really had a problem with the theatre once, and as far as things go that is a success for me. We had a great turnout, and a great audience. It was such a rush to see the cast, and crew, and people who support us... both family, friend, and stranger. Being able to finally share BGR with an audience has been a long time coming. And honestly, it feels like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And look at those pictures! Standing in front of a marquis with the BGR title... right next to an Oscar nominated flick! Its humbling, its amazing, and I am just so proud... of my cast, my crew, the movie, and of myself.

A bunch of the crew and I were nervous for the past few days... What if people don't like it? What if something goes wrong? What if, what if, what if... Well, that part is over, and people genuinely seemed to dig it. That means so much to me.

From here, we hit the festival scene, and hopefully people outside our circle dig it as well. Updates will be fewer at this point. There will still be updates, but they will be less now that we have a finished movie. When I started the blog, I said this would stick around throughout production, and as far as I am concerned that means through the festival world as well.

We also have some more footage to share with everyone. We had video taken of yesterday's intro, Q&A, and audience reaction, which we hope to splice together and share with everyone. So, that'll be coming some time in the next few weeks. I will also share the "Red Scare" trailer that premiered yesterday. And we are most certainly not done making movies... We will be doing other things in the future. Of that, there can be no doubt.

So, that is that. We learned an awful lot on this set. We forged our way through negativity and obstacles that none of us could have imagined, and we came out stronger for it. We learned what to do and what not to do. But best of all, we had a good time, and we have a movie to show for it. We actually made a fucking movie... I am still letting that sink in, honestly.

Another chapter in the BGR saga has closed... But this is only the beginning!

Stay tuned!
