In consideration: The clean sweep

If you told me a year ago that I'd submit Transmissions to 21 film festivals and get shut out, I'd be extremely upset. Today, I'm not - later I'm shooting some of Arc, which is shaping up very nicely. My modest goal for Arc: have it play at five small festivals or one "big" festival. That's it.

Also, as per festival guidelines, I can now post the full stream of the movie. That can be seen over at the Transmissions blog. As with any filmmaker, I prefer my work to be watched at the best quality possible, so if you're interested, shoot me an e-mail or comment on this post if you want a free DVD of the film and I can provide that.

The tally: 21 rejected
  • Ann Arbor (Michigan)
  • Austin
  • BendFilm (Oregon)
  • Big Bear Lake (California)
  • Charlotte
  • Chicago International
  • Chicago Underground
  • First Take (Georgia)
  • Landlocked (Iowa)
  • Maine
  • Midwest Independent (Chicago)
  • New Directors / New Films (New York)
  • New York
  • Rhode Island
  • Sacramento
  • Sausalito
  • Slamdance
  • Stony Brook (New York)
  • Sundance
  • SXSW (Austin)
  • Toronto

What a coincidence. It happens to be playing later on today in the "Caroline called in sick to work" film festival.

Yes! Next time I plan on watching it will be a double feature with Archetype.

Hey Mr. Kentala,

Long time no see! It took a bit of digging to find you again on the internets!

Glad to see you're making stuff - very ambitiously, it seems. Sorry to hear you got shut out on your first film, but glad to hear that it's not keeping you down.

I will happily watch your movie - and at the highest possible quality. Would you mind sending me one of those free DVDs you offered? :)

Also, if you're ever in Austin, drop me a line - I just friended you on that Facebook thingie.

Hey Mr. Pierce,

Facebook message me your address and I'll send you a DVD of Transmissions.

And it took a bit of digging to find me? You search "Jack Kentala" and my Twitter, IMDb, Facebook, and blog show up!
