Must Wait… A Little… Longer…

Gah! Being in this in-between time is tough!

The film is done (yes, there's still tweaks, but done). And yet, I can't bring everyone together to have a screening because of the pandemic. (And I wanted to do this soooo much!)

I can't release it online because of all the film festivals and their screening rules. I could send it out to certain individuals, but that's no fun - it's better to be with an audience when watching (unless there's no laughter - that would suck).

I'm working on things like trailers, a website, and marketing materials, but I can't just dump it all out there because: A) it's not all ready, and B) that's just not how things are supposed to be done.

I won't start to hear about film festivals until late November. And I got so antsy, I entered 20 more film festivals just because I wanted to feel like I was doing SOMETHING to create an opportunity for people to see this.

Yes, I'm going slightly insane.

It's like waiting for Christmas to open my gifts. Something cool could be in the box, or it may just be a sweater from JC Penney's. I don't know what it is, but I just want to open it NOW!

Unfortunately, there's nothing to open yet. And work (my real work) has been super-busy lately, which I suppose is good for keeping me out of trouble (but is less good for me finishing the film tasks I need to do).

Sigh. Only 40-something days till Santa Film arrives...
