in due time...

So, after much thought, i decide not to enter into the sundance film festival this year. the film needs a lot of work before it's ready to be sent out for consideration to any festival. but it does free me up to be able to concentrate on the film itself, tightening it up, composing music, and such. the film will be ready when i think it's the best version possible. 'til then, i really should not even be thinking about any festivals.

This past weekend i experimented with including chapter numbers in the film, and i decided to keep them. they do help clarify the different sections of the film, particularly scenes that end and start different chapters, so that they don't just blend in together. i've sent a version minus these chapter numbers to Bob Massey out in LA to assess the music for the film, and i've also given Rob Brewster a copy that has the chapter numbers. i highly respect both of their creative opinions on the film, and i'm curious if they even notice whether these chapter numbers are essential to the narrative. for now, i'll wait and see...
