We had our screenings of AUGUST last weekend at the NewFest and they were a big success! Nearly sold-out crowds filled up both of our screenings, despite the 100-plus heat. And though the movie itself takes place during a heatwave, it was certainly easier to watch that on screen in a nicely air conditioned cinema.
During both Q/As afterwards, questions came up about the short film that started it all, Eldar Rappaport's POSTMORTEM. I saw it at Outfest in 2005 and was so impressed that I approached the director asked if he was doing a feature. I actually assumed there was a full-length script. But there wasn't and that's when I started working with Eldar to expand it into a feature film.
You can watch the short below, on the Logo website. The feature will be released in the US by Wolfe Video, who just acquired AUGUST this month. More details to come on that soon....
