Waiting...
Well, I have shipped out about two dozen promotional screeners for review, press, write-ups, etc. It's a long process and all up in the air. Let the cards fall where they may. It's out of my hands at this point. Tony and I spent countless hours putting this DVD together and the die is cast. All I can do is wait (a painful process as well!) to see if any results trickle in. Feedback and comments are always welcome - good, bad, ugly...
I currently have a screener into NetFlix (fat chance) and the catalog distributor VPD (fatter chance) which will take weeks before I hear anything. Still, I've always played David to Goliath when it comes to self-promoting. While it can be a gruesome endeavor soliciting your work, your art, your heart... it's more of a drag to keep it on a shelf at home. I say, get it out there! Take it on the chin! And, more importantly, move on.
Part of my goal with this Fringe DVD release is to have a finished, polished product to show future investors when it comes time to pitch and raise funds for The Sleeping Deep - a script I am very excited about. Thankfully, the story is of great interest to me as well as being commercially viable - two factors that rarely come together in a perfect storm situation. When the time is right I won't have any trouble finding the budget. Really!
Okay. Back to waiting. Waiting. Waiting....
