Big day today. Some morning tasks and then off to Indy for the world premiere of my former student’s documentary film. And are we seeing it twice more before the weekend is over? Of course we are!

So proud of Jeff I could just bust.
We are truly blown away by the fact that 3 tantalizing teasers from the Indy Burlesque scene are going to share their talents just before our documentary’s WORLD PREMIERE at the Heartland International Film festival - in partnership with the Indy Dance Council. Get your tickets: HeartlandFilm.org

AL-oween is just around the corner, and so…we asked ourselves what would “Tight & Nerdy” look like as a horror movie?

Do we creep you out?

Out of nearly 1000 entries, our documentary is 1 of 3 winners of the Screencraft Film Fund Grant!

We entered this competition last year and although we did not win, one of the judges loved the project so much, she generously backed it with her own money and invited us to re-submit this year!

Yay!
