Comments on: World Premiere of “I Want It All” http://steelwhitetable.org/2006/07/21/world-premiere-of-i-want-it-all/ A yellow dog knows when it has sinned. -- Tom Waits Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:44:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Phillip http://steelwhitetable.org/2006/07/21/world-premiere-of-i-want-it-all/comment-page-1/#comment-23959 Phillip Thu, 10 Aug 2006 19:32:06 +0000 http://steelwhitetable.org/blog/2006/07/21/world-premiere-of-i-want-it-all/#comment-23959 August 10th, 2006. I'm very close to being officially completely sick of my movie now. Well, okay... not so much the movie, but the post-production process. It has been --- and continues to be --- one frustration after another. I thought editing the movie and putting it all together would be the best part of the process, the part where I really get down to business and make a movie. But by the time I finished the film, I was just glad to have the experience behind me. The final cut of the film is okay; I can live with it. [The rest of this comment was deleted.

It was a complete success. Every element that I laboured over for hours, worked. The audience laughed in all the right places and seemed to have a good time watching it, which is all I was looking to accomplish with it. Just a short, fun, silly little movie, something to laugh it. Having watched the film 200 billion times during post-production, I couldn't judge whether it was effective or not. But I went with my instincts and hoped they paid off, and they did. When a couple hundred people laugh at something you wanted them to laugh at, even when it's just a goofy short film about macaroni, it's gratifying. There were about 60 minutes of short films shown during the screening, and mine was the second-last one shown. Some of the movies in the middle we're kind of slow; they began to drag. But when my movie came up, the audience seemed to wake up and come to life. I was very pleased with the audience reaction. I'll give a full report on my festival experience at <a href="http://mudsongs.org" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Mud Songs</a> later in the week after I've rested. Thinking about my next movie now...
