August 19: A fabulous night at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago. Cup Of My Blood began it's theatrical run to a sold out and enthusiastic house. Cast and crew, friends and family, and strangers off the street alike witnessed the first public screening.
I couldn't be happier that we made it this far, in just under two years, practically unscathed.
August 24: I went back to the theatre tonight for the first time since Friday. It was fun to sit in the lobby and watch people come out of the theatre, and not know any of them. Then watching people arrive and buy tickets for the next screening, and it starts filling up with people.
August 25: Closing night, a good crowd, a sold out final screening. Lance can't be there, he's stuck up in Milwaukee working on the creature feature. Ken and I do a Q & A.
It was a good run. It feels good to have a movie in a theatre. Now I want the next movie to open to wider release, say about 2800 screens initially, and maybe go up from there! Yeah!
But still, making a movie and seeing it in a theatre and next week on DVD in thousands of stores across the country, really, how many people can do that?
Next, "Hey, you gonna rent that?"
