Thank you to everyone who showed up and helped support us at this year's Seattle International Film Festival. And a big thank you to SIFF for the wonderful opportunity and the gracious hospitality they provided! They treated us like royalty and we greatly appreciated it. It was quite the success for us humble filmmakers and so, so much fun! We made lots of new friends and met up with quite a few old ones as well! It's festivals like SIFF that makes us so proud to be local, independent filmmakers. An experience we'll never forget and one we hope to be a part of again soon.
Since then, we all have gotten back into our regular routines with work and our families. Because of that, we haven't really been able to share some of our most recent news and upcoming releases. So here we are, ready to share some joy!
First off, since SIFF selected "Do You See Colors When You Close Your Eyes?" to play at their festival, we have received a small handful of requests from other festivals to screen our film for a potential selection at their festival, as well! As we wait for confirmation from some of these fests, we have two that we'd like to announce will be playing later this month of September. One festival is the Athens International Film Festival. The other is the Montreal International Black Film Festival. If you or anyone you know will be hanging around Athens, Greece or Montreal, Quebec later this September, be sure to check out these two festivals!
Second, after months of trying various edits and procuring additional interviews, we are happy to say we are a step or two closer to finally releasing the short documentary that is "Keep It Cinematic." We appreciate everyone's patience as we cut this doc together, as we have had some set backs, such as preparing for SIFF, additional festivals, and our everyday work life (including the talent's). The biggest step we have before releasing this gem is the mixing and remastering of audio, which will pose no problem to our beloved audio technician once we reach the final edit soon.
And for the least interesting news of the day... we are working on structuring a new website that will be easier for us to update and easier for you, the viewer, to get to what you want, good ol' hardcore indie filmmaking action! Our address will remain the same (www.labfilms-nw.com) but hopefully soon, in the little spare time we try to muster, we will deliver to you a brand spanking new site that will be up to date with everything we do. So be on the lookout for we are trying to make sure all our fans and friends stay current with what we do!
Thank you again to everyone reading. Thank you again to all our friends and family that visited and supported us through SIFF's festival. Once again, a very BIG thank you to everyone at SIFF that made our visit so enjoyable and encouraging as visiting filmmakers to their program. We truly thank everyone who has known us these past seven years, as we try to recreate our visions.
In closing, we'd like to include the trailer to "Keep It Cinematic." Soon, we'll be able to show off the whole thing!
Love,
Everyone at LAB Films-NW
