A lot has happened since we returned to NC from our ROAD MOVIE road trip in May. We've come out with several new short films including WHAT THE FROCK! written by and starring Jeffrey Moore abd directed by Todd Tinkham. FROCK! recently premiered at the 2007 Palm Springs International Short Film Festival, and even more recently, FROCK! won Best Short Film at the 2007 Ava Gardner Film Festival. Next, FROCK! will screen at the Carrboro Film Festival in beautiful Carrboro, NC.
Three other films have just been completed and sent out to festivals for 2008. ALEXA, 4 MINUTES ON AN ABANDONED BRIDGE and LOST & FOUND, all written & directed by Todd Tinkham, are on their way to festivals across the US. We'll keep you posted.
SADIE TURNS 50. That's right, our short family film, SADIE TURNS SEVEN has just been accepted into her 50th film festival, The GOLDEN LION FILM FESTIVAL in Swaziland, Africa. So far, SADIE has won two BEST FAMILY FILM awards (Indie Gathering 07, and Folly Felder 07) and one BEST CINEMATOIGRAPHY award (Kent Film Festival 07). Geographically, SADIE has screened at festivals all over the US and in Canada, Australia, Albania, Swaziland and Wales. Yeah, Sadie! You go, girl!
HOME FOR GOOD and AND THEN THERE WERE NUN are still popping up on the festival circuit. NUN recently screened at the 10th annual Ed Wood Film Festival in upstate NY, and HOME FOR GOOD screened recently at festivals in NC and HI. Both films have screened at more than 30 festivals each in the past year, and they both have won a number of festival awards.
As for our ROAD MOVIE, featuring Lydia McDonald (pictured above) and Mary Cates, we screened a 15 minute cut of the film (the final film will be much longer) at the 2007 Secret City Film Festival in Oak Ridge, TN, and everyone wanted to see more. So, we're busy working on it, with a completion date set for early 2008. More on that soon.
Speaking of the Secret City Film Festival...TinkhamTown namesake, Todd Tinkham, was awarded the festival's FOUNDER'S AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN INDEPENDENT FILMMAKING by the festival director/founder, Keith McDaniel. Pointing to Tinkham's amazing completion of 17 films in 2 years, as well as screening his films at more than 200 festivals in that same time period, McDaniel called Tinkham "a true inspiration for us all." Tinkham is now busy working with Jeffrey Moore on their next collaboration, the short comdey WORD, featuring Lisa Cates and Mary Cates. More on WORD soon.
