Festival submissions winding down
Well, after a bit of hard thinking, consideration and internal debate, I’ve decided to begin winding down the festival submissions for “In the Dark”.
I had originally intended to try to make it to 100 submissions, then later dropped that number to 75… ultimately the number dropped to 50 (mostly due to the amount of money involved… last month I surpassed the $1,000 mark, between fest fees and postage). I’ve decided it’s time to begin being more selective about which festivals I submit to and start drawing the process to an end.
Partly because I would like to begin working on whatever’s next. While working on “In the Dark” I intended for it to be my last short, to be followed with a feature (technically, to be following by one or two screenplays I could try to sell, or find an agent with). Then I thought, “well, maybe ONE more short… something I can shoot and edit very quickly.” In recent days I’ve found myself coming up with a few more ideas, so “what’s next” is, for now, undecided. But there WILL be a next, guaranteed.
More thoughts later 
You got off cheap, our fees were more in the $3000.00. Nice site. See you at the Gone With the Film Festival, May 16-17 2009.

I could very well continue submitting until I get to $3,000 LOL … but then that would delay my next project. It’s all about give and take
