Festival Nomination: Art Film Spirit Awards
I’m happy to share that while I’ve been away on my recent travel shoots, “Your Cinema Needs You” picked up another festival nomination on its ongoing film festival world tour. The feature was nominated for Best Documentary at the Art Film Spirit Awards in partnership with Toronto Film Magazine last week, and as you’d imagine, I’m thrilled that the movie has been gaining momentum since this festival run kicked off last month.Knowing I have a lot of creatives and aspiring filmmakers in my audience, however, I’d also like to share that I received 3 new festival rejections last week too. This isn’t unusual. This is what this process looks like. In the same week as you’re being grouped in with the “best of” you can simultaneously find that you’re “not the right fit” somewhere else. I mention this, not only because I think it’s good advice, but because I’m still living by the same lessons that I picked up when I was a film student. Making movies is hard. Celebrate your successes. And at the end of the day, trying to achieve something is still more fulfilling than not doing something because you’re afraid to fail. I’ve failed a lot on this documentary, and by all accounts, it’s going pretty well!Thank you all for the ongoing support as the ride continues!
