"Schism" is playing in the Boonies International Film Festival on Saturday August 20th at 2PM in Warren Pennsylvania. It's quite an honor to be playing this fest alongside attending directors and selected films such as Josh Fox with "Gasland", Jake Mahaffy with "War" and "Wellness", Kevin Jerome Everson with
"Quality Control", Levi Abrino with "Little Horses", and many other Oscar noms and winners.

"Schism" is still in limbo on Netflix. YOU can SAVE the film to your queue (please do! see links above) but can't rent it yet. Not enough demand apparently.

Talking to some producer's/sales reps this week for the film. Following up on their current/past clients. Some of them members here as well.

Side note: this weekend we will wrap production on our 2nd feature film "There Are No Goodbyes". Shot in 4 countries on a single DVX. Check it out: http://therearenogoodbyes.wordpress.com
