Another great screening for Pants On Fire. This time at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art. I'm not sure the film qualifies as Fine Art, but that's okay. It was a smallish crowd, but hugely enthusiastic. I think literally the entire audience stayed for the long Q&A. It's been a blast hearing the audiences' laughter throughout the film. These crowds are really great - every filmmakers' dream. Gotta go to bed. I'm off to Augusta Georgia and the Imperial Theatre tomorrow.

Peace Center in Greenville

I had my first taste of the Southern Circuit Tour last night. Pants On Fire screened at the Peace Center for the Performing Arts in Greenville, SC. It was a fantastic screening! And what a beautiful venue. It's an old converted Huguenot mill and they tricked it out into an amazing state-of-the-art theater but still managed to maintain some of the look and feel of the old brick buildings. We had a great, enthusiastic crowd that stayed for a long Q&A afterwards. They had fantastic questions about all aspects of the film. It was really gratifying. Greenville rocks. I had some delicious Sushi and gelato - their downtown is really beautiful. I am going to hit a toy store for my kids, then hit the road to Alabama! I've got a screening tonight at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University for anyone in the area. I'm also enjoying the fall weather - something we don't really have in LA.
