THAT POST SHOW

If you are a fan of podcasts, you have almost certainly heard of "That Post Show," and if you haven't, it's about time you tuned in! As one of the more highly regarded podcasts on filmmaking out there, "That Post Show" thrives at providing a "roundtable discussion with industry experts about the art and science of video, film and post production."

Hosted by the always entertaining Kanen Flowers, writer/director Brad Crowe was invited to sit down (actually, the interview took place over Skype) with Kanen to discuss the making of Potter's Field. It was an absolute honor to be part of the show and we hope to be back in the future!

The Myrtle Beach International Film Festival is truly an independent film festival, providing an outlet for projects that represent the independent film maker, their vision, views, and artistic interpretation. They pride themselves in assessing each project, not based on its political undertones or lack thereof, but in their technical and artistic value, uniqueness and style.

In addition to being selected by MovieMaker Magazine as "One of the Top 25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee," this festival has the added bonus of taking place in Myrtle Beach! One of the most beautiful and desired loations in the United States! (not to mention where my wife used to live!)

So get your grits and she-crab soup on and head down to the #3 best boardwalk in the nation (according to National Geographic) for some films you definitely wont want to miss!

"Potter's Field" in Review

I am thrilled to announce that after playing a number of festivals around the country, Potter's Field has it's first reviews and they are FANTASTIC!

Film Threat Review of Potter's Field by Mark Bell

Film Threat is an incredibly well respected film site that does reviews of both recently released Hollywood films and independent productions. They keep a close eye on the festival circuit and offer up to date news on all the latest happenings in the film markets around the country. We are especially priviledged to have Mark Bell, the owner and editor-in-chief of Film Threat, review our film. He gave us five stars, which is quite impressive considering that he averages around 2-3 stars on his other reviews (not an easy grader by any means!) Most satisfying of all though, is how he really got exactly what we were going for. I honestly could not have written a better review myself!

Man, I Love Films Review of Potter's Field by Kai Parker

Man, I Love Films is a website I recently became aware of, and it's tremendous fun. A bit more campy than Film Threat, Man I Love Films does reviews, blogs, top 10 lists, and seasonal write-ups with articles like "Kai's Top 10 Gory Movie Moments." Again, we were very priviledged to have Kai Parker review our film (he's the co-founder of the website) after seeing Potter's Field at the Temecula Valley International Film Festival.

Temecula Patch Review of Potter's Field by Jacqui Dobens

Temecula Patch is Temecula, CA's online newspaper, providing the community with news, reviews, events, and op-ed articles. Jaacqui Dobens likened the Temecula Valley International Film Festival to a buffet and we are certainly glad she like the portion we had at the table!

Here's hoping these are the first of many favorable reviews to come our way! Major congratulations to all the cast and crew who worked so tirelessly on this film. My hat goes off to you all!

The Poppy Jasper Film Festival's mission is to showcase emerging independent short films in an intimate setting,in addition to exposing new filmmakers to seasoned industry professionals. Not to mention, it is the only home of the rare, semi-precious gemstone (the "poppy jasper") noted for its red and yellow "orbs" on a field of black or white.

Poppy Jasper has honored a number of notable film professionals in the past (John Bruno - Special Effects, The Terminator, True Lies, Titanic and Victor Miller - Writer, Friday the 13th, among many others). This year, cinematographer Vance Piper will be doing the keynote speech (he has worked on over 50 movies including The Terminator, Forrest Gump, and Avatar) where he will discuss techniques, ideas, and lessons learned during his career.

We are incredibly honored to play this festival and who knows, we might just find the elusive Poppy Jasper gemstone!
