wow. Long time since the last check in but lots has gone on and still kicking. THE SCAVENGERS has played at many more screenings and the response has been great.
We got to attend The Boston Underground Film Festival where 4 count em, 4 films from Halifax played. That would be alongside TREEVENGE, LOST AND FOUND and the wonderfully offensive BLOODSHED. The hospitality was great and we were fortunate enough to screen our short before DEAD GIRL, a film we were stoked to show with. the movie is amazing.
Before that we got To show in Vancouver for the Reel 2 Real International Film Festival, Nevada for The Dam Short Film Festival, and San diego Black Film Festival.
we want to thank everyone that checked the screenings out and thank as well for the comments
the film has been getting great response and we're working on another dish.
okay
next up
The Halifax International Viewfinder's Festival of Youth this April.

Viewfinders and Festival In a Van
So in the last month, I've been having a great time traveling with AFF's Festival in a Van and recruiting for Viewfinders.
As well as facilitating workshops for all ages, we've also been showing The Scavengers to HIgh School students.
what a response!
THe performances by the kids in the film get a great reaction, especially from other youth.
It is a pretty good sign that we do tend to take young performers for granted and, when given enough freedom have the instincts and the creativity to make very strong choices and great performances.
it's funny thing about working with kids. I've done it for so long, and find myself in situations more times than none where youth will play a large part in something creative that I am involved in. You always learn very much about yourself, probably more than they do about what they are doing.
It's a pretty great and humbling thing.
Whitney...as chessy as it was.. you were very correct. teach them well and let them lead the way.
