First....
This is my first film and first fest. It was great fun once production started. There are lots of stories I'll share after the fest gets under way, but before the viewing starts, I wanted to take the time to publicly acknowledge a few fine folks.

If
"If" will derail any film before it even begins.... And by if I mean i.f.,intestinal fortitude, or lack there of. I wrote this story within a week of the fest's annoucment, but I didn't know i.f. it could be done, of i.f. I could pull it off, or i.f. it would play well, or etc... I sent the script to Charli, who read it and gave me some great notes, but I still didn't konw i.f.... In fact, I almost i.f.ed my way out of a movie.

I sat on it until three weeks from the deadline. Knowing that it was now absolutley ludacris to attempt this project, I decided to put out one last feeler. I reached out to Chris Messineo, who gladly read it and promptly
called to ask what the heck I was waiting for.

Big up to Chris for that final encouraging push to pull this trigger on this project.
He gets the "Red Bull Award"



I heard it gives you wings... or somthing like that.

Tick, Tock
With less than three weeks to pull this film off, there was a lot that had to happen. A lot. I had an awesome team of people that came together to make this happen.

The key players are as follows:

Wallace Braud offered his time, talents, equipment, and home. Seriously. Without him, there would be no "Bedtime Story." He put up with my newb-ness, worked long hours, and didn't complain once.... at least not to me. He was a truly a partner in this venture. Check him out here.

Mark Johnson went out on a limb and commited to doing the vfx work for me. I had no idea that he was involved in so many other projects, but he was determined to make it happen. He warned me that it would be down to the wire, and it was.

If you haven't heard, his laptop was stolen the day before the deadline. Did this stop him? No. He redid everything and I receieved the last vfx shot literally two hours before the deadline.

Herman Witkam is a busy, busy man. He too offered his services to me. I wasn't able to get him a locked edit until 24 hours before the deadline, but he still worked his magic. Bravo.

All three of these guys get a "Chirstopher Reeve"



Thank you.

I heard Spike Lee tell a group of filmmakers to never apologize for their films... so I won't. Though I will say, next time I wil start much, much earlier.
