Phew...

Yesterday I shipped out the DVDs to the Kickstarter backers, and the downloads will be emailed next week.
In a lot of ways this wraps up the "release" of "Bernice, Too"
Sure there is more to do; releasing music videos, more screenings, etc...

But the madness of the making of the movie is a wrap. In a few ways the madness of the past two years of my life is a wrap too. 

In the film, the last song that plays over the end credits by Snap Famous ends with -

 "You can't stop me.  You don't understand.  It's all said and done, until we meet again"

And yeah... I feel that one.

One more thank you!

Refreshed and ready for what's next...
No pictures of me passed out on the floor to share. But here is me, just before the doors opened Friday with the two stars of the flick.

Thank you again to everyone who came out to see "Bernice, Too".
💜
If you missed it, no worries! We'll be having a few more screenings as the weather breaks, and a streaming one (or two) as well. And it's on DVD!

Thank you. 20 years of Elmwood!

February 2011.
I love this picture of me.
Elmwood had just wrapped up our first screening of "Josh and Todd" and I was spent.  
And joyful.
I flopped to the ground and my buddy Joe told me to hold still and snapped this picture.
That is a man exhausted.  
That is also a man happy.

Last nite Elmwood Productions had our first screening of "Bernice, Too" and we wrapped up the celebrations for 20 Years of Elmwood Productions.
No picture of me to share today.  I'm gonna save them for another post after I relax a little...
And I am a man exhausted.  A man happy.
And a man ready for the next project.  And we have some surprises coming.
But for now I'm gonna get away from social media and this computer for a few days.
See ya!

Oh - and if you missed the show last nite - 
Limited quantities available!

And we start 21...

Today is the day we as a team at Elmwood Productions call our anniversary.

We really became Elmwood somewhere between summer 2001 and 2002. So somewhere in the middle makes a good day.

For 20 years we have been doing this. And I still love it, and the team we have is amazing.

This month we're premiering our newest movie "Bernice, Too". It's not just a funny movie, it is also a celebration of the past 20 years. We show love for characters and projects and crew of the past, while setting up the new year, and new everything... And the premiere nite will also be a celebration of the past 20 years.

And I'd love for you to come see the movie and celebrate with us...

If you're in the Connecticut area check out all the info HERE!

and HERE!
