SOLMI

We were happy to have Superhero shown at this year’s Indie Film Jam, part of the larger Florida Music Festival. The screenings were pretty lightly attended, and some of the films shown had questionable entertainment value, but it was fun to get out and see what other people are making.

Even if we were put off by a couple of them.

One thing that we’re real sticklers about is trying to make something that’s going to get somebody to laugh. Or, at the very least, that they won’t hate and wish were immediately over. That’s really not very easy sometimes. So when I see films that are, at best, completely self-serving I wonder why these people want to handicap themselves right off the bat.

I also don’t get why the credits for some films are nearly as long as the films themselves. I can appreciate giving credit where it’s due, so maybe it’s unavoidable for the larger productions. But if you’re the writer, director, producer, star and cinematographer, maybe skip the credit roll altogether. Because nobody cares.

Anyway, that’s my rant. We mostly had a good time and it’s nice that we were given the chance to get something of ours out there. Maybe we’ll look at sending Superhero to other events in the future. or maybe we should just try and get more videos done. That sounds like a good plan to me.
