In June, In Memorium had its Midwestern Premiere at the incredible Waterfront Film Festival. I'm a lame-oid
for giving this report several months after the fact. Why, one might ask, would anyone be so lame? So lame to
a fest that is not only one of the enjoyable events with one of the loveliest audiences we've ever been to, but a
fest that offers filmmakers constant --you guessed it--alcohol--for free?! Now I'm not one to go willy nilly on the
shilly, but at a fest, with nuthin' but love, you better believe I'm up for the ol' college one-two swanky-danky-
drinky-dinky.
Enough about that. I wrote this so far after the fact b/c I had absolutely no idea how to capture the time in
words. It was just too damn fun.
Beautiful town. Lovely people. The smell of clean, crisp wind next to sparkling lakeside restaurant
accompanied several days of fresh ahi and green salads. Dune buggy rides and races up the sandy hills
intermingled with fantastic films and kind-spirited people. If I were a critic I'd give this town and this wonderful
festival 10 out 10 beers.
Cheers to Waterfront and its fantastic staff. You're all aces. I only hope you'll let us toast to you with our next
film project.

In Memorium had its World Premiere at The 13th Annual Hamptons International Film Festival.
Tremendous thanks to Rajendra Roy, Josh Koury, and the incredible staff at the festival who made us feel so
welcome. What a beautiful place to have our first screening--and just shy of Halloween.
The town of East Hampton bit with wind and rain, and festival lines swarmed with a techicolor mix of
overcoats and umbrellas. From afar, the crowd might have resembled a cohesive picture painted by a
long-dead impressionist. Locals warmed the chilled air, eyeing the ambling filmmakers with curiousity.
Turning leaves dappled the thick grey sky, and the rake-thin main road led past the box office though a canopy
of looming branches.
The screenings for "In Memorium" were past the town's bedtime, but people stood in line, trembling in the
frigid night. Once in the theater, temperatures warmed. In the cavernous room, chair arms were strangled and
screams echoed throughout.
We thank the wonderful audiences who joined us, and we look forward to another wonderful reception with
new, unsuspecting, victims...uh--friends.
