SBIFF Day 4


The first official day of the festival was productive for the crew of ITW. We checked in with the staff and got our platinum all access passes and then I headed for the press room. I handed out 3 inch pins (buttons) that had our poster printed on it to anyone that would listen to me. The pins are called digipins and have a mini CD that will play in a computer in them. The CD contains the video trailer, press kit, poster etc. so you can pop out the CD and it still has the image behind it to wear as a button. The digipins were a BIG hit, everyone commented on how creative they were. We have also been scheduled for 3 interviews so far. Two radio and one TV. I'm headed over the radio station in just a few minutes for the first one.

The opening night gala was last night and we met more press people, film makers, and LOTS of people interested in film. The only celebrity sightings I've had so far was bumping into Alan Thicke, who was surrounded by beautiful women. He's looking pretty good but getting older. The picture here shows that ITW was featured in Santa Barbara magazine. They talked about ITW in the article and even had a color photo of the movie poster.

Stay Tuned!
