Park City wrap-up
Wow. After nearly two weeks in Park City (the last few days of which we spent battling the flu), Chase and I are finally back in L.A.
Though it had a shaky start due to technical difficulties, the premiere screening of YESTERDAY WAS A LIE went swimmingly. In addition to Chase and myself, John Newton, Peter Mayhew, and Josh Comen were in attendance. We had a near-full-house and great audience response.
After mentions on CNN.com and Hollywood Today, things really started taking off! We did a series of television and radio interviews (which'll be out over the coming weeks), followed by two strong reviews:
"I've seen this flick three times and each time I see it, it gets better. It's like watching Citizen Kane... as the film reveals itself, it draws you in."
-Punk's Movies, KXRK 96 FM
"A profound, marvelously intertwined story. This is what indie films are all about."
-Jani Fleet, KSTU FOX 13
Then, Kipleigh and Chase were (deservedly) named two of the "Hot Leading Ladies" of film by Film Fetish. And to tie it all up with a neat little bow, YESTERDAY WAS A LIE received the Park City Film Music Festival's Gold Medal Director's Choice Award! Combine that with some great Sundance swag and the news that we'll be screening at the International Film Festival England this summer, and I couldn't be happier. Or more exhausted.
