What a great night!
Last night was one of the greatest nights ever. I want to thank everyone who attended for all their support and a special thanks to the Anthology Film Archives and Barney Oldfield for selecting Rock & Roll Superhero for inclusion in the NewFilmmakers Fall Screening Series.

It's been such a long road working on this project that I never really thought about how I would feel at the screening or how people would react to the film. After making a really brief and awkward speech before the movie started, I ran to the back of the theater and grabbed a seat. My palms were sweating and my heart was pounding. I haven't felt those kind of nerves since I forgot the rings at my wedding (a story for another day).

Every detail that Miranda and I had agonized over in the editing room paid off. I knew from the laughter, groans, silence, cheers and applause that the audience was totally wrapped up in the story.

Afterwards people were shaking my hand and congradulating me and telling me how great the movie was, which frankly made me really embarassed. I wanted to just run out of the theater with my coat over my head!

The live show at the Sidewalk Cafe was a blast. Seeing Watt and Jay perform together for the first time in three years was fantastic. If you missed it, free movie posters and copies of the RARSH promotional comic book were distributed to the crowd.

The overwhelming positive response reminded me that the five years of work on this film were all worth it and strengthens my resolve to get a distrubution deal for this project. So thanks again for all of you for coming out to the show. Your enthusiasm and support are an inspiration to me.

And waking up to find my face on the cover of the Stamford Advocate doesn't hurt either! I told the guy not to take a weird wide angle picture of my face but I guess he wasn't listening.
