What’s Happening Next?
What’s happening next? Oh, that’s easy: WE are what’s happening next.
We’ve mentioned Phil Holbrook before (he’s known as @philontilt on Twitter), but we’d like you to get to know him a little better. You’re going to be hearing a lot more about him. Here’s why:
1) We’re going to his film fest (EgoFest) in February. Both Snow Bunny and Libidoland will be screening at EgoFest in Brainerd, Minnesota. Word.
2) His short film “Honest Work” is smoking the other candidates in this month’s War of Films on the site Film Annex. (Watch and vote for Honest Work here to help Phil win $1000).
3) We’ve just agreed to write a feature-length film for Phil that he plans to produce and direct in 2010.
Hooray! To be honest, we were hesitant at first. We’ve never written for someone else, and his subject matter was outside of our comfort zone. However, because we greatly respect Phil, we mulled it over and came to the conclusion that this was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.
We can’t share too many details just yet, but here’s what we can tell you:
- It’s not going to be set in Las Vegas. (We’ll leave that to Hue Rhodes.)
- It’s not going to include zombies. (We’ll leave that to Gary King.)
- It’s not going to include cake sitting. (Did that in Libidoland; apparently gave some people nightmares.)
Of course, now that I see those things together…
So what’s happening next? WE are what’s happening next. PHIL is what’s happening next. This NEW INDIE FEATURE COLLABORATION is what’s happening next. And, as a team, we are going to share updates every step of the way, because we know that YOU are also what’s happening next.
Congrats on the new project, it sounds fantastic! Stretching yourself creatively will open new perspectives on your own process. You have some very exciting times ahead of you.
Thanks Gabriel. We are really excited and can’t wait to see how all of this plays out.
Wow, I’m gone for a couple of weeks and all manner of collaboration takes place.
Congratulations on your new project with Phil – I’m anxious to hear the details as they happen. And have a great time at EgoFest.
Sounds badass. Please give in to your many fans and grace us with a synopsis, or at least a logline.
Ask and you shall receive. Loglines, vlogs, blog entries, pictures, and so much more are on their way.
Great news Julie, Jessica and Phil. Of course, you can count on me to lend a hand. I have a lot of thoughts you know!
Thank you, Sheri. As we move forward, we will definitely seek you out for advice and a helping hand. We respect your expertise, experience, and unflagging support for independent film.
