The Feature just became closer to becoming reality!

Doubles With Slight Pepper won the Telefilm Canada PITCH THIS! competition at the Toronto International Film Festival a few days ago.

Needless to say, this is a massive push forward for the project. There were 5 other incredible projects, so it means a lot to come out on top.

The award comes with $10,000 which is amazing. The money is great, but the real prize is getting the project noticed by the industry, which has already happened.

Here’s the Variety article about it http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118059159
and also a Toronto Star article too: http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/tiff/article/1255467–tiff-2012-six-minutes-to-win-it-in-pitch-this-feature-film-contest

We Are News That’s Fit To Print!

In one of the most surreal moments of all time, the newspaper of record for us all, The New York Freakin’ Times just posted their article on the film!

 

Of course, this is something that means a lot and will hopefully spread the word about the film and everyone involved.

 

Thanks to everyone for their support!!

Pitch This!

There has always been more to Doubles With Slight Pepper than what the short film ended up being!So we’re all terribly excited to bring the entire feature film to the big screen. It’s going to take a bit of time and a bit of money to make it happen.

 

But, we just got selected for the Toronto International Film Festival’s PITCH THIS!

 

We’ll be pitching the story for $10,000, which will go far in this process. Although the money would be great, we’re just hoping to bring the story to more people as we gather more supporters.

 

If you’ll be attending TIFF, make sure to circle September 11th on your calendar and drop by to root us on!

A New Face ?!

Incredibly proud and humbled to be on Filmmaker Magazine’s annual list of 25 New Faces of Independent Film!

This is a list that I’d always look to every year for interesting filmmakers doing amazing work. Needless to say it’s prestigious and means so much to me.

I sometimes find it strange to be recognized as an individual when filmmaking is such a collaborative form – so I thank all of those people that helped me get to this point.

Another Award!

We’ve been awarded the Martin E. Segal Prize!! Martin E. Segal co-founded the amazing Lincoln Center Film Society and continues to be one of the great supporters of the arts in New York City.
We’re extremely honored to be recognized by The Segal Company!

East Coast Love for Doubles!

This will be our East Coast Canadian Premiere! Head over to the Screenings page for the details. Would love to hear from people out there!
