Update: Snow Bunny's 1st Night Out
Last night Snow Bunny screened at the Lakedance International Film Festival in beautiful Sandpoint, Idaho, at the historic Panida Theater.
Even though we couldn’t make the trip, we were honored, excited, and, strangely, nervous last night when the screening was scheduled to begin. A little under the weather, we toasted each other with OJ and headed to bed, delighted that our little movie was about to be watched in a real theater by real film lovers who bought real tickets to see it. Those are our favorite kind of people.
Today, Lakedance (@lakedancefilm) was kind enough to send us a Tweet (I heart Twitter) about how the screening went. Here’s what they said:
“@kingisafink (that’s us) great screening, big applause at the end. Comments were “creepy” and “that was seriously messed up”.. but said with a smile”
We couldn’t have asked for a nicer less than 140 character review. Is Snow Bunny creepy? Sure. Is it messed up? Hell, yeah. The family in our movie is quiet but raging, calm yet churning, appropriate (oh so appropriate) yet ready to burst at any moment. We love Snow Bunny, and we’re glad the audience at Lakedance did, too.
So what’s next? Snow Bunny screens at the Queens International Film Festival on Saturday, 11/14, at 8pm at the stunning Frank Sinatra School of the Arts. This’ll be the first film fest we’ve been able to attend, and we intend to make it count. Can’t wait to see old friends, meet Twitter friends, and make new friends who can, maybe, help us figure out the next step in this fun indie movie making journey.
“Creepy” and “seriously messed up” – definite compliments. All the best for Queens and may the praise keep coming!
Thank you. We are definitely pleased with those responses.
Loved Snow Bunny. I kept bringing it up throughout the festival when people asked which movies have left a lasting impression. What made this film so creepy was that in some odd way this felt like a REAL family that we were watching. Would love a copy of it for my collection if that’s possible? We were at Lakedance as well with our film, My Movie Girl. Congrats on a great first screening at Lakedance and continued success for you with it!
Oh my goodness! You’re so kind, Adam. We’ve heard a lot about ‘My Movie Girl.’ Congratulations on winning Best Comedy & Best Soundtrack. We’re flattered that you saw Snow Bunny and liked it. Wish we could have joined the party in Sandpoint, but we’re hoping to qualify with a new film next year.
We’d be happy to send you a copy of Snow Bunny. Maybe we could do a trade. We just found you on Twitter (@mymoviegirl) – we’ll exchange details there. Hope to cross paths with you soon!
