OUR BAR MITZVAH WINNING FILM FESTIVAL—Number 13
Well, it finally happened, after a long delay, “The Stairs” hit its 13th film festival acceptance—our Bar Mitzvah win. Today “The Stairs” became a man.
The bar mitzvah certificate read: “Congratulations on your official selection to IndieWise Virtual Festival!
We’re delighted to celebrate this successful moment with you!”
“The Stairs” is now accountable for its actions, traditions and ethics. The creators of this movie can no longer be punished for its failings. The film is now a full-fledged member of the artistic community. That is what acceptance is all about.
We had a seudat mitzvah—a celebratory meal in honor of the occasion followed by a wild Hollywood party. We ate a typical Academy Award fare of buttered popcorn, diet coke and 18 Milk Duds. You were thinking Steak Oscar.
While we are talking about the industry, IndieWise is in its second year. I love the festival’s creativity in placing “official selection” laurels on a movie ticket stub and in drawn in that stub the word “WISE” placed inside a movie camera. You can now watch “The Stairs” trailer on their website.
We close this bog with bags of candy being thrown at the Bar Mitzvah by the ladies on the second floor of the Woodridge Temple and we sing, Siman tov u’mazel tov, mazel tov u’siman tov.
