Second Submission - Toronto
Sent the DVD and press kit by FedEx to the Toronto International Film Festival today!
Tomorrow they will announce the line up for the Los Angeles International Festival...
Also received the Marketing and Distribution Blueprint from Jon Fitzgerald today - it's twenty two pages long and filled with specific media outlets and strategy that I need to really analyze. Jon is going to Cannes soon and we need to decide whether he should approach some distributors there on our behalf.
Over the weekend we had two exciting things happen: KPFK Radio (Pacifica Radio 90.7 fm here in L.A.) phoned and are very interested in promoting the film (thanks to Frank's glowing review!) and Kenneth Turan (prominent film critic from the Los Angeles Times) responded to Luisa Roque's query letter and expressed an interest in seeing the movie. He said he knew who Jeannette Rankin was and thought it was a fascinating subject for a film.
Things are starting to happen!
How exciting that you're getting a positive response from various media outlets. This is such a timely subject on several different levels, and I hope the powers that be recognize the potential interest and importance of this film. The story itself is quite extraordinary, and if it weren't real, I'd say it was made up! How amazing that Jeannette Rankin existed decades before our current time, and yet was so forward thinking, not only for her own time, but for ours. You go girl!!!
