KNIFEPOINT STRIKES MONTREAL

So excited to have an opportunity to show KNIFEPOINT to audiences!! We couldnt have asked for a more perfect festival to world premiere at than Fantasia - the response has been terrific and the Q&A portion after the screenings is rapidly becoming one of my favorite parts of the process. A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came out for our screenings - it was a pleasure watching you squirm!!! Viva cinema!!

It is happening!

Final screening tonight at 9:45pm --- can't wait to see how the crowd reacts! If our first screening is any indication, it's gonna be gangbusters!!!

Up & @ 'em

I scored just over four hours of sleep... and I feel like a Champion - off to get caffeine and catch the 1pm screening of THE ROBOT!!!

Hotel Eureka

Welcome to the Montreal living adventure that is Fantasia 2011. I was offered to be put up for a couple more days to catch more of the fest. If my wallet doesn't get murdered for changing my outbound flight, I've gotta do it. I will have made 18 of 25 days of the whole fest! Wish I could stay for the duration... But that'd be pretty close...

Goodnight

The sky seems a little bright to be heading to bed, eh? Badass meal in my belly and I'm off to crash for 3-4 hours. I've gotta see a 3 hour SciFi flick from Bollywood in 5 hours. And I love it.

Flyers for the final show!

Distributed out a shit-ton of these today - worked like a charm!!  Terrific turnout for our second screening!!

KNIFEPOINT 2ND SCREENING TOMORROW!!!

If you're anywhere near Montreal Canada's FanTasia Film Festival tomorrow, don't miss the second screening of KNIFEPOINT at 9:45pm at the Salle J.A. de Seve Theatre! Take a look at the program guide with additional screening information HERE

FILM THREAT COVERAGE OF FANTASIA DAY 3

Mark Bell over at Film Threat caught the first midnight screening of KNIFEPOINT last Saturday and included a review in his Day 3 recap of Fantasia 2011. Check it out HERE

Poutine

Legendary local cuisine!  What we're looking at here is a bowl of fresh cut french fries, topped with cheese curd, and smothered in brown gravy... unbelievably tasty...

Knifepoint poster

Printed and ready for FanTasia 2011, with only four hours to go before I hit LAX...  why is it that everything always comes down to the wire?

Post World Premiere Pix

Such a great audience for the world premiere on Saturday - getting ready for the second screening tomorrow --> Sunday night at 9:45pm - should be a blast!!!

Fantasia is happening!!!

Way behind on blog updates - I'm experiencing a rough run of spotty wifi - but today I will take time out and set up at an Internet cafe!

In the meantime, check out the Early Bird Crew at the Embassy last night...

KNIFEPOINT POSTER FOR FANTASIA

Check out the initial poster art for KNIFEPOINT!  I know... I know... it took me long enough...
We took a snapshot as well - which I'll post shortly...

SPECTACULAR OPTICAL REVIEW OF KNIFEPOINT

Kier-La Janisse over at Spectacular Optical wrote a kickass and very insightful review for us over at their site - check out her kind words HERE

More local cuisine

Actually, it's more Korean than Canadian, but you're looking at a corndog covered with batter and chopped French fries. Holy hell my heart hates me...

But I loved it!

FANTASIA 2011 IN FULL FORCE!!!

On the scene in Montreal, Canada - what an incredible trip! The festival crew here at Fantasia are top notch and the film line-up is kickass and non-stop for 25 days!! Although I'm behind on updates, look for a ton of new information to appear here in the next handful of hours as we upload pics, clips, and details on all things KNIFEPOINT! Also, you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook (which I'm also behind on, but will have up tonight!!!)

KNIFEPOINT WORLD PREMIERE AT FANTASIA 2011

We've received the call and were given the word: KNIFEPOINT will be World Premiering next month at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal!!! We don't have our scheduled times just yet, but we will be screening TWO TIMES --- on July 16th & July 24th!!! Impossible to articulate our excitement using only the English language, but with effort to sum it up: HOLY SHIT.
