tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54349721175045442272011-08-11T17:22:22.087-07:00For the past two months, Steve Nelson has only had one thing on his mind: 'Why did my wife leave me?' She won't answer his calls and seems to have disappeared from town. Steve is alone. He doesn't fit in at his job and has lost all interest in being there. One morning, after discovering that their dog has died, Steve decides that he will no longer wait for Julie to come home. He will go out and find her himself.Eric John Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11139465035695979397noreply@blogger.comBlogger101100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434972117504544227.post-77022384039290407952009-06-05T21:09:00.001-07:002009-06-05T21:15:12.023-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9mlSXfMMjzI/Sinsiv2wAnI/AAAAAAAAAgU/tviNc9cKwjQ/s1600-h/home_wreath.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 120px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9mlSXfMMjzI/Sinsiv2wAnI/AAAAAAAAAgU/tviNc9cKwjQ/s400/home_wreath.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344062514557616754" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Dirt</span> has made it into the New Filmmakers LA showcase for short films!<br /><br />We will be at the showing on <span style="font-weight: bold;">June 30th at 8:45pm</span> and would love to have anyone in the area come and attend.

We met up with Nick Stentzel who is the director of <a href="http://beverlyhillshidef.bside.com/2008/films/unhinged_beverlyhillshidef2008">UNHINGED</a>, which was a film that was made at BYU along with our film.<br /><br />After talking with a few people we headed to the opening night party which was hosted at Joe's Joint on <a href="http://www.igougo.com/entertainment-reviews-b40810-Los_Angeles-Joint.html">Pico</a>. We talked to several filmmakers there and invited people to the screening of DIRT.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">UPDATE:</span> The website is in the works, we have a few polishing touches to put on it and we can launch soon. Hopefully we can get a cut of the trailer done as well to go along with the behind-the-scenes. This will add a bit of dimension to those who visit and will hopefully get people excited about seeing the film. We are expecting the new website by the end of the year.<br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.studioscreenings.com/"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></span></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5434972117504544227-6432892638802050121?l=dirtfilm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eric John Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11139465035695979397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434972117504544227.post-67261433776473668062008-12-15T12:59:00.000-08:002008-12-29T20:29:59.143-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9mlSXfMMjzI/SUbJUd2tB9I/AAAAAAAAAXM/6OgC5ROR6FE/s1600-h/img131134918cdc093c84.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280128966587123666" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 234px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9mlSXfMMjzI/SUbJUd2tB9I/AAAAAAAAAXM/6OgC5ROR6FE/s320/img131134918cdc093c84.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We recieved the schedule for the Beverly Hills Hi-Def film Festival today.</div><br /><div><em><strong>dirt</strong></em> will be showing on <strong>Tuesday, December 30th at 2:30pm</strong>.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The location is:</div><div align="center">8556 Wilshire Blvd</div><div align="center">Beverly Hills, CA 90211<br /><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=115150079022539045131.00045f3c04b8dc92aed52&amp;ll=34.067645,-118.377879&amp;spn=0.010274,0.021737&amp;z=16">click for map</a></div><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="left">If you are in the LA area at that time, please come and enjoy the film at a remarkable theater.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The film will be playing with <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0837794/"><em>Favorite Son</em></a><em> </em>directed by Howard Libov.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5434972117504544227-6726143377647366806?l=dirtfilm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Eric John Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11139465035695979397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434972117504544227.post-77352657600181945102008-12-05T14:56:00.000-08:002008-12-15T12:55:44.320-08:00The master copy of the film has been sent off to the Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Festival!<br />They are working on the schedule right now, so soon it will be up on the website, they do have a list of films that have been accepted on the site. The film's name was properly shown on the website with all lowercase letters.

Although it was a long shot, we still had hope that we would get to be a part of the festival.
