Tracy Screening in L.A.!

Good news, "Tracy" got into the Burbank International Film Festival...

...bad news, I don't know when or where it's screening yet. The festival runs from July 31st to August 7th, but they haven't posted any dates yet.

I'll post the date and venue as soon as I hear!

"Tracy" in Texas!

Our independent comedy "Tracy" will be playing in Houston, Texas at the 1st Annual Houston Comedy Film Festival at 12:00 PM on Saturday December 12th! If you live in the area, please check the film out and let me know what you think!

* Update! Dan Scanlon is nominated for a Best Director award for "Tracy" at the Houston Comedy Festival.

Tracy's First Film Festival Announced!

It looks like we got into our first film festival! The Detroit Windsor 2nd annual International Film Festival listed their line up today and our film Tracy is included in the documentary section of the program. It's a little strange seeing as Tracy is a fake documentary, but I suppose people will figure that out somewhere near the end. So if you live in the Detroit/Windsor area this is a great opportunity to see our movie as well as some other very interesting looking films. Tracy is screening on June 27th at 9PM at the Wayne State Law School, tickets are about $9. This screening is actually taking place before the Michigan Cast and Crew screening at the Main Art theater, so if you couldn't make that, this is another chance to see the film.

I'll keep you informed as I hear back from more festivals throughout the summer and fall.

P.S. No New Yorker Caption Contest this week, as every so often they do a two week contest. Check back next week for more!

Tracy DVD Screeners Delievered!

A few days ago we got a run of 50 DVD screeners of our first feature film TRACY delivered to enter in film festivals, give out for promotion, as well as hand out to a select few members of the cast and crew. We also entered our first film festival, the Chicago International Film Festival. We should find out if we got in on September 30th of this year. Also on July 4th we're having our Michigan cast and crew / friends and family screening at the Main Art Theater in Royal oak. We'll keep you informed if we get into any festivals.

TRACY is finally FINISHED!

After a six year pregnancy and a brutal 4 day labor, we just gave birth to a 75 minute movie named Tracy !



Jeff Pidgeon did this great illustration yesterday. Thanks Jeff!




* Also in honor of the first screening on Feb 20th, I'm gonna post a special clip from the film here Friday morning.

Finishing Tracy

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but all of my extra time has been devoted to trying to finish up Tracy before the first screening on Friday February 20th. I'm damn close, but man, after 6 years of working on this project, it's the last few weeks that have been the most difficult in a lot of ways. This would probably be a good place for a sports metaphor, if I knew one. The fun, creative stuff is long finished, and now it's all the technical nightmare of wrapping the whole thing up. The last few weeks have been spent hovering over the film ready to suffocate it with a pillow to put both of us out of our misery.

This Sunday night is more or less the drop dead, cut off date to finish the film, and that's what I plan on doing when it's done.

Wish me luck!

Wrap for Brian!

Today we wrapped Brian Fee on the movie TRACY as the character Tracy! Brian has been involved in the film since the very beginning, and though his role as and actor is over, he will still remain involved as a producer. Brian’s first shoot as the character Tracy was back in May of 2003, appearing as the younger clown version of the character,and coincidentally this afternoon we wrapped Brian again playing the younger clown version for one extra shot. Here he is matching his make up to that of the original clown Tracy from five years ago.We also shot Steve Purcell and Rob Gibbs as Tracy’s clown companions. Steve and Rob, are also the only actors in the film other than Brian to play more than one part in the film.
