The Do Nice Guys Finish Last Showing

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

The Do Nice Guys Finish Last showing was absolutely awesome.  Aside from the weird guy that showed up that everyone feared was going to rape them.  Other then that though, the entire thing went off without a hitch.  I did a little Q & A after the short film which is always fun to me.  While I’m nervous as hell in front of a crowd, I do pretty good.  In my college speech class a girl made a comment on my speech that I get nervous and as a self defense mechanism, I start to tell jokes and try to make people laugh.  Which she said works really well for me.  I don’t get many compliments, so I have to hold on to whatever I can get.  After the short film and the Q & A we had the theater for another 2 hours, so we watched Hot Fuzz.  That movie is even more glorious on the big screen.  I thanked Simon Pegg and Nick Frost via Twitter for Hot Fuzz but they never responded….  Fuckers.  Just kidding.  I’m sure those guys get at least a million tweets thrown their way every day.  I got some good constructive criticism from Kristen Carter (Censored).  She said it wasn’t long enough in some scenes and was too long in others and overall, it probably could have been shorter.  I can agree with that.  Nobody had anything horribly bad to say about it though.  In fact when I told the crowd that someone told me it was the most offensive thing they had ever seen, I got quite a big round of applause.  Thanks to everyone for that and for coming.  It was insanely fun.  I hope to see you guys at the next one, because there will be a next one. 

P.S. I’m two rejection letters away from posting Do Nice Guys Finish Last online.  Come on festivals, do the right thing, reject my ass.  It has a narrow audience and it’s too long to program.

Donations?

So, starting our next project, we need money.  While we are trying different approaches as well, I figured I would give this a shot.  I can’t offer you much in return.  Just bragging rights if we are ever famous millionaires and our complete and utter appreciation.  We all love making films and unfortunately, sometimes our vision simply isn’t possible on a nothing budget.  So, here’s the donate link:


Caine, last night came up with a great idea.  We are selling cards for $5 dollars each that basically say that if you support us now, we’ll pay you $1000 if we ever make it big.  Not a bad deal if you ask me.  Will we regret that later?  Probably, but what the hell, right?  We are also looking in to hosting a sushi night where the actors all make rolls and sell them.  Another idea was to host a screening of Do Nice Guys Finish Last and ask for donations there as well.  Then there’s my specialty of just plainly selling things.  Really what ever I can get my hands on gets a price tag.  I’m also selling bread.  Wipe that grin off your face.  I realized last night that selling bread is pretty damn easy.  Especially because I have a bread maker.  It takes me about 20 minutes and the damn bread maker does all the rest.  I just add the ingredients and hit a button.  I’ll keep you guys updated with how everything is going.  The showing of Do Nice Guys Finish Last is my favorite option so far.  Renting the theater would take most of our profits, but that would be one hell of a night.
