Yesterday was the premiere of my latest film Corpses & Other Teenage Problems! We had an awesome screening at the wonderfully quirkily old cinema, the Hebden Bridge Picture House in front of a 120-strong audience of friends, family and the cinema-going public. From what I gathered from the people I talked with afterwards the film seems to have gone down well (the projectionist said it was better than Colin, the indie zombie film I last saw at their cinema!) I’m so glad that people enjoyed it, including the cast and crew who liked the final result, and despite some worries that we wouldn’t make enough we actually made a profit that, combined with coming DVD sales, should help greatly with the production of the next film. If you want to read more about the Corpses premiere head over to the Corpses blog to read it in glorious rambling detail.
As part of our advertising for Corpses the cast and I were interviewed for an article in our local Halifax Courier. You can read the article here.
But that wasn’t the only part of our press takeover! Our 60 second Avatar spoof which made it into Empire’s Done in 60 Seconds competition top 20 finalists also got it’s own article in the paper. You can read that article here.
The film was also mentioned, along with the other finalists in Empire itself! It’s fantastic to actually be in print in the world’s biggest movie magazine, and in a fantastic 250th anniversary edition as well!
So please don’t forget to vote for our Avatar entry on Empire’s Done in 60 Seconds website, voting ends 12 March.
MINI-UPDATE: Continuing the press-takeover, I found this anonymous article praising the hell out of me. Thought I should post it. There was also an article in the paper covering how we made a profit at the premiere, but that doesn’t seem to have made it online.
