Drink Tea Outside wins "Best Overall Performance Award"

Drink Tea Outside wins the "Best Overall Performance Award" in the WildSound Film Festival at the National Film Board cinema in Toronto!!!

This was a feedback film festival which means that the audience gives thier reaction to the film. And was it a reaction!! The discussion about Drink Tea Outside went on for about 20 minutes if not more, and there was a LOT of very different opinions. Filmmakers were supposed to stay annonymous to allow the audience to speak their mind. Ofcourse I got up and grabbed the mic @ the end anyways, but they cut this part out...

So here is a 2 part youtube video of the audience's reaction!

PART [one]

PART [two]

SEE YOU TMRW AT THE FILM FESTIVAL!!! :))))

Check out the clip from the Toronto Premiere of Drink Tea Outside @ Bloor Cinema!

I think it's about time to post this clip!

On September 05, 2008, Drink Tea Outside was Premiered at Bloor Cinema in Toronto, Canada in front of hundreds of audience members. The event included performances by Leonardo Magician, and a Cirque Du Soliel veteran Juggler, Edward Skwidsky.

The film's in the WILDsound Film Festival!! =D

Drink Tea Outside was selected to be featured at the WILDsound Film Fetival on August 29th @ the National Film Board Cinema in Toronto! This will be the 1st official film festival that my film will be screened at. The best part about the whole thing is that it is a "feedback" festival, meaning there will be lots of discussion, and finally I will hear what people think about this thing.

The photo above is from the "greenlight" blog, about Toronto filmmakers, and the film industry in general, they posted this today on their website.

Drink Tea Outside @ Bloor Cinema on May 22nd 2009

The Eastern European Independant Filmmaker Alliance organization (E.E.I.F.A) has selected my film: Drink Tea Outside to be one of the films they will screen at Bloor Cinema in Toronto on May 22nd.

I'm very excited about this because I was told that there is a lot of media, and cultural, political representatives coming out to the event, but mostly the fact that more people will watch this film is very COOL!!

Also it happens to be on Andrey Kislitsin's Birthday!! He is the lead, and co-writter/co-producer of the film. 

Anyone coming out to see this film??
