Feel Good Movie in Feel Good Festival

2008-06-20T19:57:00.000-07:00

Bunny Down has been accepted into competition in the Feel Good Film Festival. The festival promotes films with positive themes that uplift audiences with optimism and films that capture the beauty of our world. We are happy to be part of this wonderful festival who's mission statement embodies many of the reasons we made Bunny Down in the first place.

Rainn Wilson (Dwight from NBC's The Office, Juno) will be presenting awards.

The films will be shown in Grauman's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. This great old theater is the venue of the very first Hollywood premier which was Robin Hood starring Douglas Fairbanks in 1922.

You can learn more about the theater at this link from Wikipedia: Grauman's Egyptian Theatre Wikipedia

One of the nice things about this festival is that we have a chance to also be broadcast on WGBH as part of their Indie Select program. This is fun for me because I used to live in Boston and I worked on many projects from other filmmakers that aired on this station.

Remember, "Hope is hop with an e",

Cannes Film Festival -Short Film Corner 2008

2008-06-16T17:41:00.000-07:00

Bunny Down made its first appearance on the international film festival circuit in the Short Film Corner 2008, at the Cannes Film Festival. Glenn and Kris went to support the film and get a much needed vacation.

Bonjour Everyone,

Kris and I are back from our whirlwind trip to Cannes . Here is the news along with some pictures we snapped along the way.

After two long flights and a treacherous bus ride with a backpack and 4 suitcases filled with Kristen's new wardrobe we arrived at a quaint little hotel about 10 minutes outside of Cannes in a town called Gulf-Juan. We were lucky to get a place to stay on such short notice and it was literally one of the last rooms left near the festival when we booked it.

Early the next morning we tried to get our bearings in Cannes. The whole town is part of the festival and there are paparazzi everywhere. In the morning they jockey for position.

By red carpet time you can't swing a cat without hitting one. (Not that we would ever swing a cat!!!)

They snapped pictures of Kris left and right. They must have thought she might be an international model. I sure thought she looked like one.

Fellow filmmakers, how can we convince our spouses that we need one of these? "But honey, I need a remote controlled, camera blimp. All the cool filmmakers have one."

I know, we could open a restaurant in Europe. At 52 euros (about $82.00 dollars) for a plate of Risotto, we could afford one in no time.

With the U.S. Dollar continuing to fall like a lead balloon we ended up eating only when necessary and we were even able to drop a few pounds.

Kris got a golden ticket to the very first showing of Indiana Jones. She was a few seconds faster on her ticket terminal than me. By time I clicked all the tickets were gone. She walked the red carpet and could see the heads of the stars from her seat in the balcony. We also both got tickets to the first showing of Clint Eastwood's movie tentatively titled "The Exchange."

The Carlton Hotel entrance was transformed into an Indiana Jones theme. If you hung out here you could get a glimpse of stars and bigwigs.

At night they played movies on a giant outdoor screen. Yes, that is a cruise ship you see in the distance.

Even the private yachts were enormous. Those little dots in the front are people on a dingy, and it's a big dingy.

This is the moment I found out that "Bunny Down" would not be played as an opener for Indiana Jones.

Oh well, we were at the Cannes Film Festival in the Short Film Corner and that was something to smile about.

P.S. We found out while at Cannes that "Bunny Down" has made it to the second round of review to compete in the "Dances With Films" festival. Everyone should cross their fingers and rub their lucky FAKE rabbit's foot.

Sincerely,
Glenn Scott Lacey
