Congrats to Executive Producers Charlotte and Bill Rinderknecht. PETE’S ODYSSEY been awarded an INDIE FEST award.

Please, pass the statue.

The Indie is about helping independent filmmakers secure distribution, the Holy Grail of filmmaking. We have relationships with distributors friendly to independent filmmakers.
Indie awards go to those filmmakers who produce fresh, standout entertainment, animation and compelling documentaries. The Indieis a showcase for cinematic gems and unique voices.

The Indie is a virtual festival. It does not have physical screenings. Rather, winners are promoted via targeted press releases to media outlets and The Indie’s email database of more than 28,000 filmmakers and industry insiders.

The Indie recognizes filmmakers who demonstrate exceptional achievement in craft and creativity. First-time filmmakers are often recognized. It receives entries from all over the world.

My official Holiday card

First off… MERRY CHRISTMAS! Second, I hadn’t posted in a while thinking that any day my blog was to be moved to AWN. As busy as they are… that hasn’t happened yet… so, I will just continue with my current blog entries until is does happen.

Here is a Holiday card with PETE

The last month or so has been busy with the Holidays, finishing up projects and making sure PETE’S ODYSSEY is out there at festivals.

So far we have been selected to 4 film festivals. We won a first place for Best Animated Short… at the AG Indie Film Festival in Smithfield, NC. By the way, I usually stop of at Smithfield when I travel North to see clients in D.C. and in New Jersey and other places in the Northeast.

Also, PETE is a finalist in the Beaufort Film Festival in South Carolina. It is an official selection in the Savannah International Animation Festival and the Amelia Island Film Festival.

I am gearing up for my next project and will try to share what I can…

The Youtube link thingy doesn’t seem to be working - so my Christmas Film Festival has gone by the way side. But I will try to add PEACE ON EARTH here…

here is a list of films on youtube you can peruse.

Cosmic Christmas
A Wish for Wings That Work
Ziggy’s Gift
Mickey’s Christmas Carol

These will keep you in the Holiday spirit
