Update on the film

So the new name is sticking now and I feel like it was a good change. The first round of festival submissions have been sent out and now we shall begin the waiting game. We ended up tweaking the content just a little to tighten it up.

The pace of the overall piece is still probably a bit slower than most US films. But I am trying to be very conscious of the film's rhythm and not overly meddle. I think because of the nature of the medium, the audience will let the piece develop and not become too antsy. Reports from those who've seen it are that the pacing works very well and allows for the desired effect. It also won the audience award at a recent pre-screening. I'm hoping that this is a sign of good things to come.
