THE LAST LULLABY UPDATE
May 31, 2009

Thank you all for taking time to register for our updates. This is a quick update. Today, I will only cover one topic:

- Lullaby Tour


Lullaby Tour

Things continue to go well. We had a great week at the Robinson Film Center and have some very exciting stops ahead of us. I'm still not sure where will be after our week in San Jose. But, I am considering a few other cities and will let you know as soon as I have some more information.

I just wanted to share our schedule again with everyone:

1. 6/5-6/14 Brooklyn International Film Festival

Tickets are now on sale at http://www.wbff.org/films/detail.asp?fid=959. We screen Sunday, June 7th at 9PM and Monday, June 8th at 8PM. I will be there for both of our screenings.

2. 6/5-6/11 Des Moines, IA at the Fleur Cinema

3. 6/12-6/18 San Jose, CA at the Camera Cinemas 3

If you know anyone in any of these cities, please let them know that we will be in town. I will be in attendance for the Friday evening screenings and all day Saturday for the screenings in Des Moines and San Jose.

We have also generated a couple of more fantastic articles that I wanted to share:

Got the print!

When you're screening on Sunday morning and your print is on a container, and Fed-Ex is telling you, "no problem, we'll have it to you on Monday," that's not the best of feelings. One day I'll recount the entire story. But two guys and I hopped in a car at about 10PM and headed to the hangar an hour away in hopes of extricating the print someway, somehow.

A happy ending. Maybe, I should put one in my next movie, too.

A great run in Davenport, Iowa continues until Thursday, May 21st and then at the Robinson Film Center in Shreveport from May 22nd-28th.

A few changes to our website coming soon and some fun announcements, too. Keep spreading the LULLABY word!

Thank you all for your amazing support!

Premiere Weekend -- Amazing

Our weekend results finally came in late Tuesday night. We ended up doing $16,640.75, making us the independent film with the second highest per screen average in North America:

http://www.indiewire.com/article/2009/05/05/box_office_chart_may_5_2009/

The film that was #1 was The Limits of Control, directed by Jim Jarmusch and distributed by Focus Features, the independent film distribution arm of Universal Studios. The film stars Academy-Award Winner Tilda Swinton and Academy-Award Nominated Bill Murray.

Our per screen average would have made us the independent film with the highest per screen average in the country any of the previous five weeks.

This is an excellent start for the rollout of our film. In fact, I’ve already fielded an e-mail from an exhibitor who has theaters in Portland and San Antonio and is interested in LULLABY.

Our Premiere Weekend was a TOTAL, even amazing success. I have so many people to thank.
