THE PARC @ THE TIMES SQUARE ARTS CENTER

Hey Everybody :)

The PARC will be shown on June 2nd at the TIMES SQUARE ARTS CENTER in NYC and I am excited! This will be our first showing in New York. This will also be our first showing to a crowd outside of our own circle of friends so my fingers are crossed. I know that the subject matter is deep and there are no guns or car chases but the information is relevant to our time and experiences in the community.

The showing will be at 8:30pm in the main room. Admission is free but there is a two drink minimum.

To enter this event come to the 8th Ave entrance at the corner of 42nd st. and be sure to mention JT at the door so that they will let you in.

FYI I read that The Source and Universal Records are having a pre-release party at the same time so be ready to mingle with some of music's finest.

I look forward to seeing you there.

This is what I know so far

So far The NYTVF has not pick any Official Selections, however, the deadline is closing soon and they will begin the judging period in July. This period will last until mid August at which time all Official Selections will be posted on MSN and (I think) YouTube as well.

The greatest aspect of this festival are the private meetings. Weeks before the fest all the major broadcast companies will receive copies of the DVD entries. They will then decide if they want to have private talks with you about your project. There is even a mentor or fellowship program that allows established producers take us newbies under their wing and guide our next project. Hallelujah!!! That is just what I and all the smart people in the cast are looking for. A real step up in project status and (hopefully) budget.

So AIM HIGH and maybe success will be yours for the taking!

Stay Positive

THE NEW YORK TELEVISION FESTIVAL ( NYTVF.COM )

The cat's out of the bag! I entered our short into the NYTVF. It is the only legit TV festival of its kind on the East Coast. For more information on the fest hit the link in the title or go to www.nytvf.com

The IPC or Independent Pilot Competition will be held at the festival from Sept. 12th - 17th. As of yet I do not have the time or date that our short will air.

The official name for the short is THE P.A.R.C. or People for Active Reinstatement into the Community. Wow there are a lot of acronyms in this blog but it gets worse because this short was based on a script called THE P.A.C.T. (People for Active Community Treatment).

Anyways, now you know and knowing is half the battle. I am also happy to say that the showing of the pilots are free to the public so when I give you the date and time please show up. I will definitely need the support seeing that I was director, DoP,
producer, editor, etc on this project... and it shows a little. LMAO!

Take it easy and thanks for your support.
