Florida and Chicago...in one weekend

Our heart goes out to our fearless director James - next week he heads to Florida and Chicago to attend the screenings of The Auteur. He's going to need some company, so hoping you'll come out and have a beer with him after the screenings.

Incredible London Screening!

On the way home to Portland after an incredible Raindance screening. Sold-out, raucous crowd seemed to love the movie. If the ensuing partying is any guide, the film definitely got everyone in a good mood.

Everyone at Raindance has been incredible. While we are exhausted, it's still hard to leave this awesome festival.

Time to rest up for three state-side fests in the next three weeks! And, our Portland premiere is less than 7 weeks away!

Auteur Screening Tonight!

   

Last night, we had the good fortune of catching Les Claypool's hilariously spot-on mockumentary ELECTRIC APRICOT, which, you know, reminded us of Portland hippies and how much we love them.  A behind-the-scenes look at a "jam band" on their way to a Cochella-like music festival, the movie feature surprisingly strong music and some hilarious performances, especially from Claypool himself.  We got to hear him talk after, which was super-cool. 

We are less than 4 hours away from the U.K. premiere of THE AUTEUR.  

The gang is frantically getting dolled up, rushing to make our dinner reservations, and in general enjoying our London adventure.  

Today we attended an awesome workshop led by Stacey Parks, whose book has been a battle-

guide for us.  She was great, and we invited her and her cool assistant to our screening tonight.  

We've met a great many people, and are totally stoked about tonight! Fingers crossed, wish us luck, and check back for at least one more blog from our trip ends! 

Raindance Film Festival

The AUTEUR team is in London for our UK Premiere!  We're having a swell time: going to pubs, getting really drunk, seeing movies, meeting other filmmakers (and getting really drunk with them), etc.  

Tonight we're going to Les Claypool's movie ELECTRIC APRICOT, which sounds quite hilarious.  Tomorrow night is our premiere and we are PUMPED.  

Also excited cuz we just found out we are in the Chicago Underground Film Festival!  This fest is an absolute BLAST and we are thrilled to be included in the lineup.  It takes place October 29th thru November 2nd...

THE AUTEUR gets a rep

THE AUTEUR just signed a deal with Cinetic Media's new Digital Rights Management Division to rep our film.  Um, yay!  This is the company that sold Little Miss Sunshine and Napoleon Dynamite.  

We are very excited about the online, on-demand, and DVD possibilities for the movie, and partnering with this amazing company will help insure its success.

Cocktoberfest

Cocktober is here and THE AUTEUR has things to do.  

We are leaving for London on Monday to show the British our outrageous porn comedy.  The Raindance Film Festival is the largest independent film festival in all of England, and we are SO honored to have our UK premiere there.  ALSO, Kim Deal from The PIXIES is one of the festival jurors this year!  This is especially meaningful to writer-director James Westby, who has had a Pixies-boner for most of his life.  

And get this!  The festival has an online tv station where you can watch a really neat (and exclusive) behind-the-scenes making of The Auteur video!  Just click here.

More great news cumming soon!

Raindance is coming!

We've booked our tickets, found places to stay, and the Auteur team is headed across the pond!  More details to follow.
