Dilemma

Here's the latest quandry...

GOD ROCKED is in Festival A in Hollywood next month. It is kind of small, lame festival - okay, there I said it. I'm happy to have a *free* screening in Hollywood but other than that I'm LESS than impressed with how this festival is being run (another story), where it's held, etc.

Festival B just contacted me last night saying that they're VERY interested in showing GOD ROCKED. They are also in LA. They are a well established festival (medium sized?), playing in a MUCH better location, potential for the "right" people to see it higher...but they want LA PREMIERES which excludes us from Festival A.

I don't know if I should withdraw from Festival A on the hopes of getting in Festival B (in June) or what.

Any advice?

Ooh, tough one. How long before you get final word on Festival B? Will there be time to wait and see?

Festival B wants to know (ASAP) about any other screenings since we submitted the film. The date they announce their line-up is the same time of Festival A.

ARGH.

The question is whether the "right" people will see it at Festival A? So ask yourself if you think it's worth the risk of not getting shown in LA if it doesn't end up being accepted at Festival B. I'd say go for it, but ultimately you have to decide. BTW congratulations on having this particular problem ... it's a good one to have, no? ;-)

I would go with the B- sounds more legit and you would get more exposure. Even if it isn't a For Sure, sounds like a better run thing...and a more approprite audience.

Either way- Hooray, a premiere in L.A.!

I'd go with B too. I think you should make a hard hearted business decision and go with the greater exposure.

We have no guarantee on Festival B....but it seems as though it's the right gamble to make. I'll keep ya posted.

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
