First Screening

We had our first screening yesterday at Santa Clara University. It was awesome to see it in a room with 40 people. We passed out response cards and got some GREAT feedback. Peter is going to put some of the comments up on our website. We are going to do some tweaking on the film after we compile the data from the response cards. Go Julie, she's in charge of this task. It seemed like people were pretty struck by the story. You can't really ask for anything more!

We're plowing ahead

We had a meeting with our market research consultant yesterday. We sound so sophisticated don't we! It's just that we have all these really talented friends that are providing their services for us for free. So, Julie... a PhD from Stanford is helping us prepare for our screening. After watching the movie and meeting with us, she is coming up with a questionnaire for the screening.

Speaking of the screening, it's creeping up on us. It's a week from tomorrow. We are holding it at a very relevant locale. It's at the moot court room at Santa Clara University. That's where the law students practice their court room skills. Anyway, Cookie hooked us up there. It's a very cool venue so we're excited about that.

So we've got a lot to do before next Saturday. Today Don received a new CD with four killer tracks of music on it. Joe outdid himself once again. This stuff is GOOD! Don's going to throw some of that music around. Meanwhile Bobee and I are going to work tomorrow at an undisclosed location on the graphics. We are going to start with the title page, and then work on the slates that are throughout the movie. Some of our photos shimmy quite a bit so we're going to see if Bobee can work some magic on them. We're really toying with the title page. If you have any good ideas send us a comment or two. Tonight I'm kinda into the whole red, white and blue theme because of the name change. You know we are now, "An American Witch Hunt" formerly "Witch Hunt."

Does this look cool?

hmmmm..... we'll just have to see.

And lastly, we received a gold mine today of photos from Victor Monge today. Thank the lord. He's one of the boys in the film who testified against John. We've been waiting for these photos for about a year so today is a great day.

That's what we have going on this weekend. Music. Graphics. Editing... (and Peter's going skiing.)

It's definitely all happening. And I think I can say that for the first time neither Don nor I is upset about the status of the film. Usually one of us has some major problem with it. Not this weekend. All's good in our world.

Peace out Friends!
