Festival Report: Filmmakers’ Showcase; Exit Interview Wins Award
Exit Interview is now the proud winner of a film festival!
Last night Patrick Keenan, Donald Wells and I attended the Light Factory Filmmakers’ Showcase at Butter right here in Charlotte. It blew away my expectations.
The film lineup was strong, one of the strongest I’ve ever seen for a collection of short films. Nothing felt like filler to me. I only wish that I could’ve attended...

This Saturday, May 14th, Nightowl Pictures’ “Exit Interview” will screen in Charlotte, NC as part of the Light Factory Filmmakers Showcase. We here at Nightowl Pictures have been fans and members of The Light Factory for going on a decade, so it always makes us extremely happy when we can participate in their events.

Exit Interview Now Online
Although it has just begun its festival run, we’ve decided to put up a streaming copy of Exit Interview online for viewing. Short independent films (especially in the fantasy/horror genre) have such a handicap to begin with, you really need to pursue anything and everything in order to have your work seen. With everything known to man being a part of The Interwebs (a series of tubes), one must...
Updates Galore
Finally, some real progress. I’ve been working on updating the site here and there with several nice little features.
First, all video has been re-compressed and uploaded to my Vimeo account, then embedded here in iFrames to allow for iPhone and iPad playback, as well as HD playback from right here on the site. This is nice because it means that in order to watch high-res versions of our stuff,...
Curiosity Creeps Slowly
Two scripts down. Don and I worked pretty hard on conceptualizing Sam’s short screenplay – getting into the characterization, tearing apart the themes and whittling down the dialogue to a more humanistic, less stage-y approach. Sam loved it. Hopefully she’ll now find money for the project so we can get started on it!
I’m still working on the shot list for “Devil’s...
A First Post, About Sex
This is my first post here, so let’s see how well it works. I finished editing a script for Sam today (she’s the principal staff member showing off her car accident scars). There was a sex scene in it, which was interesting from a screenwriting perspective. How detailed should these be in script form? My instinct is to keep sex details to a minimum. How important is it, really, for...
And so, it begins.
Well, everyone (who is no one at the moment, which means I’m writing to myself), the new version of the website is up. It’s not complete yet, but it’s about as complete as it’s going to get for the time being. I still need to get the Motion Graphics reel and the music videos compressed and online which will probably take a few more days (along with the two other shorts I’ve...
