We were fortunate enough to be invited to show Lady Dead at "Halloween Haunting," a community Halloween event hosted by the Frankfort Park District at the Founders Center in Frankfort. Special thanks the Cali!

School Assignment

Mrs. Markowski of Kanoon Elementary showed her summer school class 'Lady Dead.' The assignment was a reflection on stereotyping. Mrs. Markowski said that the kids really enjoyed the story and most importantly learned a valuable lesson about stereotyping. One student commented: "I really like this film because it talks about stereotypes..." Another student said: "I liked how she was brave" and "it was interesting and entertaining..."

Interview: Making the Movie

John Ott of http://www.makingthemovie.info/ interviewed me about the making of Lady Dead. John's blog was named one of the top 50 movie blogs by MovieMaker Magazine. He has some great articles, reviews and interviews on his site, so check 'em out.

Festival Submissions

  

Lady Dead has been submitted to two more film festivals! The first, the Redemptive Film Fest is a Virginia based festival playing November 11-12, 2011, which focuses on the theme of redemption. The second, is the Chicago International Children's Film Fest, playing October 21-30, 2011. 

  

Festival Submission

I submitted LD to the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis, IN. HFF honors uplifting films that celebrate the positive aspects of life. Stay tuned for updates on our submission status. The festival is October 13-22.

Festival Update

Lady Dead wasn't accepted into the Cannes Film Fest. :(  It's disappointing, however it is THE most prestigious film festival in the world. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. This morning I submitted L.D. to the First Glance Film Fest in Philadelphia. A smaller but highly reguarded festival in the industry. MovieMaker Magazine declared it one of the top 10 festivals worth the entry fee. Gotta keep movin' forward.

Post Production Update

Sound design, music composition and editing is complete and ready for the Cannes Film Festival. Thank you Brandon and Casey for all of your hard work! The next major task is to add French subtitles. Luckily, Karina Tulley has graciously translated Lady Dead for us. We couldn't do this without you, Karina! Thank you.

Sound Design Begins

Our sound recording wizard, Brandon Bokowski has begun sound design. He's brought a lot of great ideas to this production. I'm excited to see what he does with sound. The rough picture cut is in its final stages and music is still being composed.
