The Festival Frenzy
I’ve started submitting Do Nice Guys Finish Last to festivals. Maybe it’s just me, but the price of festival submissions has sky rocketed. When I was submitting Censored I would come across an occasional $50 submission fee. Most of them were in the $10-$35 range. After submitting to three festivals it seems like $50 is the new $35. I’ve found a couple that were upwards of $90+. My first question is “Why?” My second question is “What the fuck?!” $90. Do you know what that gets me? Just a marginal chance to screen at a film festival. Actually, I suppose that depends on how good your film is. I do believe that Do Nice Guys Finish Last is at the very least a decent film. It’s just that it’s over 15 minutes long. I’m not very confident that it will screen anywhere. Not because it’s a bad film but it just goes very against the grain. The run time is a big factor and there’s enough cursing in it to make a sailor blush. It’s got a C-Bomb in it. That makes it kind of historical. I believe this is the first film we have completed that has a C-Bomb in it. Great job everyone, really great work. I applaud us. There really aren’t enough C-Bombs in film festivals. It’s found it’s way in to popular cinema though.

“Shut that c*** mouth or I’ll come over there and fuck start her head.”
-Ryan Phillippe in The Way of the Gun
“Respect the cock…and tame the c***. Tame it.”
-Tom Cruise in Magnolia
So, I’m not that off base here. If anyone calls me on it, my first response will be “But Tom Cruise said it!”
