I finally premiered my film in Los Angeles

After a long road, we finally hit a long awaited milestone: Wednesday night, we premiered our short film in a crowded movie theater in Los Angeles.

I’m too wiped out to type a full report of the night, but expect a YouTube video covering it soon.

For now I’ll just say it went off without a hitch and was an absolute blast.

I’m so grateful to the 111 people who came out to the screening – from in the neighborhood, to hours away, to all the way from Texas! I wish I had more time to chat with everyone individually but I’m glad I got to meet most of the audience.

Plus we had a batch of amazing films & filmmakers accompanying The Lost Fortune of Oliver Brody, which meant a great show and panel discussion afterwards.

Despite having found huge audiences online, most of these short films had never screened in a theater before, so I think it was a delight for the audience and filmmakers alike.

Soon I’ll also be making a video about the process of putting together an event like this – what did and didn’t work, how much everything cost, what I’d do different next time, etc.

And of course, Oliver Brody will be releasing very soon as well! You’ll be the first to know when I figure out the date – should be some time in March.

Lastly, I just want to say that it’s easy for me to lose sight from behind my computer screen here of whether any of this matters. But meeting you in person and hearing your stories of how it has helped you, has me walking away from the night with a renewed faith in what I’m doing, and a desire to make the best content I can for other filmmakers. Thank you for that.

Let’s make some movies.
