Longbaugh accepts Filter

Just received word that the Longbaugh Film Festival in Portland, Oregon, has scheduled Filter as part of the 2007 lineup. Longbaugh is not your mainstream festival and prides itself in programming real independent films "that live and breathe not because some executive thought it would make a lot of money over Memorial Day weekend, but because someone had something deep down inside of them that they had to express. And in the process of making that expression-of reaching into their soul-they manage to touch the souls of other people." ... cool!

If there is one thing I've always said about Filter is that it is not a traditional film. It is more of a participation in a discussion about society and media. And in making the film we tried to have a number of layers for people to enjoy from the base story to the specific comments laced in the graphics. Not everyone may agree or wish to participate or explore the film, but those who have certainly do enjoy it.

The schedule hasn't been announced yet, but the dates are March 29th - April 1st. Stacey, Ozlo and I will be driving up to visit friends in Portland and have a great time at the festival. See you there ...
