After a flurry of rejections, March rolled in with a breathe of Spring air. The wind delivered our 25th acceptance. The First Annual Boynton Beach Short Film Festival accepted “The Stairs”.
For those of you who are interested in going, here are the details and what their acceptance letter said:
Dear Mort,
Congratulations!
On behalf of the Boynton Beach Short Film Festival, I am pleased to notify you that your film has been selected to screen at the 2017 festival. You may download the screening schedule here:
Your single film-maker all-access pass will be available at the BBSFF Guest Services table at the theater the day of the festival opening.
The launch of the BBSFF will take place April 20-23, 2017 at Alco’s Boynton Cinema in Boynton Beach, FL.
As we approach the end our film festival run (only 12 contests left), I am going to miss downloading laurels.
I am going to miss commenting on the festival’s logo, The BBSFF’s Soviet-era logo of a fist holding a googly-eyed movie camera instead of a hammer and sickle is extremely creative. Note the solitary red star and the reverse “N” in Boynton makes their name appear to be in Cyrillic script. This drawing looks like,”officially approved art which was required to follow the doctrine of Socialist Realism.”
I am going to miss attending and speaking at film festivals.
Hitting 25 acceptances was way beyond my wildest expectations.
Again, I must thank the cast and crew of “The Stairs” for making an officially approved and accepted short art film.
Let’s hope the wind brings one more win.
