MICRO FILMMAKER REVEW!
'Hotel Motel' has been reviewed in the September issue of micro filmmaker magazine. Not only is it a very positive review, we were awarded the 'Best of Show Editor's Choice' award for the month, beating out some serious competition from one of Foxtel's 'On the Lot' contestants. Yeehah!!! Read the full review by Jeremy Hanke here.
Festival Updates
April 14th - DONE SUNDANCE, DONE CANNES, DUNGOG!
'Hotel Motel' continues on it's merry way with it's selection in the 2008 Dungog Film Festival in NSW. This is an exciting Aussie festival showcasing the best Australian films to an audience of investors, producers and industry notables. The organisers are very
switched on regarding how to get a film made in Australia and to that end have rustled up some serious sponsorship in Hyundai and NSW mining as well as the support and partnership of Government and private bodies such as the AFC, the NSW FTO, Showtime and Panavision Australia. With a bit of luck Michael will be up there in person for some great seminars, workshops and serious schmoozing.
Oct 9th - YEEHAH! WE'RE GOING TO TEXAS!
'Hotel Motel' will screen as part of the 2007 Rockport TX Film Festival in early November. Many thanks to the Lone Star State for providing BDf with its mainland US debut.
Oct 1st - 'Hotel Motel' will make it's North American debut at AIFF- the 2007 Anchorage International Film Festival in Alaska. The film's dusty brown Australian sensibility should make for quite a contrast with the snowy Alaskan winter. We beat out 400 other films to gain official selection in the festival which is quite an achievement. Congratulations to all involved.
Aug 24th - WE'VE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO MUFF8! 'Hotel Motel' will be screening at LOOP on WEDNESDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER @ 7:00PM as part of the 'Mini Muff 5' program. LOOP is located in the heart of the city at 23 Meyers place, off Bourke street at the Parliament end of town. We're all very excited here at BDF as this will be our Festival debut, so all you Melbournites get out there and support Independent film!
WORLD PREMIERE @ GLITCH BAR
Glitch Bar hosted the debut launch of Hotel Motel and, to put it mildly, it was a massive success. We had a huge turnout and fantastic feedback on the project. Thank you all for coming and making the event such a riot.
