Cowboy Smoke Poster

Cowboy Smoke screening at Cannes confirmed

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Cowboy Smoke will have it’s first buyers screening at the Marche De Cannes on May 15th at 8:30pm at PALAIS E (wherever that is). Fantastic Films had to pull a few strings to make this happen as screenings were suppossed to be scheduled three weeks ago.

If you happen to be in the French Rivera next month make sure to add the Cowboy Smoke screening to your travel plans.

FANTASTIC FILMS joins the Cowboy Smoke team!!!

Friday, April 11th, 2008

I am excited to announce that we have entered into a partnership with LA-Based international sales agency Fantastic Films International, LLC to act as sales agent for Cowboy Smoke. Fantastic Films attends all of the major film markets and this coming May they will be attending the Cannes Market where Cowboy Smoke is planned to screen for buyers for the first time.  I am happy to finally be at this point, once I have delivered all of the materials the movie is essentially out of my hands. I have confidence in the owner of Fantastic Films, Roxanne Barbat and her partner Fred deWysocki, and am ready to relax and possibly start working on another project.

Super Fan and the new Trailer

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Howdy! Sorry it’s been a few weeks since my last post but I have been out of town. I traveled to Los Angeles to meet with potential sales agents. Film Sales Agents represent filmmakers who are looking for distribution deals for their films – specifically we were looking for an agent who would be capable of taking Cowboy Smoke to the Cannes market in May and screening our film for potential foreign and domestic buyers. We have settled on a sales agent however are currently working on drafting an agreement that is beneficial to both parties involved so I won’t mention their name yet.

I have posted a couple new videos that might be of interest on youtube. Super Fan was the first short film that Mike Lutz (who plays Joe in Cowboy Smoke) and I work on together. It’s a comedy about two best friends who take a road trip to the girls state volleyball tournament. We wrote the script in about six hours, shot the movie in about five and then it took me a couple days to edit. It’s not much on production value but I think it’s hilarious – check it out:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfBHZPCFtEw

Finally I have posted a new trailer… it’s not actually new other than the footage has been upgraded from miniDV to HDCam. My DP has been begging me to post a trailer with the new footage so here you go:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhXO9×2STEs
