The Last Lullaby heads to Cinequest

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for California. I will be in Los Angeles Sunday-Thursday to do some work with the Lullaby maestro DP, Richard Rutkowsi, and then will head up to San Jose. The Last Lullaby screens in San Jose as part of the Cinequest Film Festival on Saturday, March 7th at 7PM and Sunday, March 8th at 1:30 PM (http://www.cinequest.org/event_view.php?eid=500).

Had our first Lullaby social event Thursday night in Shreveport, LA at Columbia Cafe, one of the locations in the film. And just announced two more social events. If you're in the area, please pop in for one of these. They're a great time:

Wednesday, March 11th at Noble Savage Tavern
Wednesday, March 25th at Crawfish Hole #2

Spoke to an auditorium full of students at Caddo Magnet High School yesterday. Wow, it was really fun. And the students were so great (except for the part when I mentioned my alma mater :)

I appreciate everyone's support and will check in with you soon. In the meantime, join us here and in all of these other places:

The Last Lullaby Happenings

A lot is happening right now as we prepare for our theatrical release in May.

We are finally getting around to cutting a trailer. Hopefully, we'll have something in the next 4-6 weeks.

We're also going to make some LULLABY merchandise. As fans or supporters, I'm curious what sort of merchandise you would like to see? Early ideas include t-shirts, hats, maybe corkscrews.

Hope everyone is starting off to a great week. Happy early Mardi Gras!

The Last Lullaby Update

All right everyone, this is my first time blogging so bear with me as I figure it all out. Just wanted to mention a few things:

1. I'm now blogging once a week for MovieMaker magazine. The blog publishes every Friday, and you can find it at this link http://www.moviemaker.com/blog/category/adventures_in_self_releasing/

2. We had a great festival in Oxford. They added a second screening of the film on Sunday, and we received, among other reviews, this excellent piece in the local paper:

Next festival is Cinequest in San Jose, CA (we screen there March 7th and 8th.) We received this fantastic review today http://www.bohemian.com/metro/02.18.09/film-cinequest-0907.html

3. I have just started twittering. Would love for you all of you to follow along and let me know what you'd like to hear about. You can find me here http://twitter.com/chaillotfilms

4. Am doing a lot of speaking engagements and social events in and around the Shreveport-Bossier area as we prepare for our theatrical release in May. If you're not already, would love for all of you to join our Facebook group

Lullaby is growing. And I can't thank everyone enough for their support.

See you soon.
