I officially finished Quick Shop on March 2, 2011. Since then I’ve been concentrating on submitting it to several film festivals, which I’ll outline below. We’ve got some big dates coming up and I’m excited about our chances…
Accepted!
Quick Shop got its first festival acceptance to the Lancaster Area Film Festival to be held on April 9, 2011. This was exciting news, as it’s always good to get that first (in a hopefully long line of) festival acceptance.
I will definitely be attending the festival, and I’m hoping as many friends, family, cast and crew as possible will be able to join me. Chris Stevens is a candidate for the Viewer’s Choice Best Actor award, so let’s all be there and vote to support him and Quick Shop. For more information on the festival, you can visit their web site at:

The academy-award winning short God of Love will also be screening that night, so that’s pretty cool too!
Festival Submissions
As of tonight I have five outstanding festival submissions:
- Lancaster Area Film Festival
- Southside Film Festival
- Nantucket Film Festival
- Long Island International Film Expo
- Gen Art Film Festival
And on the near horizon (submission deadlines, not the festivals themselves) we have the following:
- DC Shorts Film Festival
- First Glance Film Festival
- Palm Springs Shortfest
- Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival
- Terror Film Festival
The dates of these festivals range from early April to late November.
Tom Dwyer on the History Channel
Our own Tom Dwyer will be on the National Geographic Channel on Wednesday, April 6 at 10 PM. Here’s a excerpt from the e-mail I got from Tom:
Last summer I worked on a National Geographic TV series called Expedition, the episode entitled “Ben Franklin’s Pirate Fleet.” The show is now scheduled to be broadcast (is that the right word for content sent through cable?) on Wednesday, April 6, 2011, at 10pm (EST).
You can learn more about this program here:
Let’s all tune in (or DVR) to see Tom on TV! Nice job Tom!
IMDB Title Page
The IMDB page for Quick Shop went live a few weeks ago, and has most of its information up:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1854325/
I’m going to wait another week or two before I attempt to update the information they haven’t posted yet, and also get the movie poster up on the page. I encourage any newly listed actors to sign up for IMDB’s resume service, which can get your resume and picture listed on the Quick Shop page.
I guess that’s about it for now. As soon as I hear anything from the outstanding submissions, I’ll let you all know.
