Applause-O-Meter

Last night was our triumphant screening along with several of the other films. It was a nearly packed house -- when I say house I'm talking about a classroom -- but a very LARGE classroom. It was fun. Some of the movies were not terrible, many of them were. A surprising number of them all had to do with spicing up a couple's sex life, which probably spoke to a lot of filmmakers in general. And even though I am obviously biased, I do think our film had the biggest applause and laughter. We also heard a lot of murmuring about a "cute baby" and "science" so we're feeling pretty good. They handed out audience award ballots that we turned in after the screenings, and I was hoping they would be counted during the Q&A session with the filmmakers, but, as there were no questions, they just sent us out with promises of award announcements on Friday. We wait with baited breaths. After the screening we headed to Dallas BBQ, which may be one of the more depressing neon-adorned restaurants I've ever been to, and drank goblets of Blue Hawaiians and other slushy alcoholic drinks, and ate loaves of fried onions. A celebratory meal fit for artists of our stature for sure.
