Ok, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the 2009 Oxford International Film Festival, what the dates are, when we’re opening for submissions, and why all the “secrecy”. Well, to put it simply, we’re making a LOT of major changes to the 2009 fest, which is why you’ve all been waiting so long to see a new website. While we’re not quite ready to announce all the major changes quite yet, here’s the dates you’re looking for: The 2009 Oxford International Film Festival will take place July 23-26, 2009, and will open for submissions in just under 2-weeks from today on November 1st, 2008. You’ll be able to submit through the end of March, ’09 so no worries if you’re still finishing up a project. The new website will be up NEXT week (at www.oxfordfilms.com) and will clear up most of your questions. So thanks for all of your input, and keep it coming!

Ok, I’m not supposed to say too much here, but I did want to give you guys an update on my feature (which, for the purposes of this Blog we’re still calling “Slipping Away”). Anyway, there’s been so many huge things happening that it’s hard to know where to start (and honestly, what I can tell you, and what I can’t), so I’ll see how much I can say without getting yelled at by the producer. Yes, as of last week we now have both a Producer and Distributor on-board for the film! Need I say any more? Actually, I don’t think I can say much more at the moment, except that there are a ton of exciting things in the works… so stay tuned!!

I just spent a wonderful weekend in Indianapolis (which is a great laid-back city) at the Heartland Film Festival. They’ve done an incredible job with the fest, and have a heck of staff on-board (which happen to be some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet). I also ran into Mark Pellington (director of films like Arlington Road and the Mothman Prophecies), and Bob Berney (president of PictureHouse) who are both great guys. Also randomly bumped into Abigail Disney who had a film showing at the fest, and Carlos Diaz (Extra guy)… I love meeting new people. Anyhow, I got to hang-out behind the scenes of their awards gala, which was just spectacular and a true rarity in film fests. That said, if you get a chance, check out Heartland, it’s definitely worth the trip!
