I'm happy to announce that Butch Jamie is now being represented for foreign sales by MultiVisionnaire. MultiVisionnaire is a sales agent, meaning that they shop the film around to various distributors worldwide. They are taking the film to the European Film Market in a couple of weeks to try and sell it.
Each distributor may decide to design their own key art for the movie, although for now MultiVisionnaire has designed this for sales:
I'll keep you updated about when and where the film will be released. In the meantime, you can check out our screenings page for upcoming showings.
On a quick tangent, I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I'm in Curve Magazine this month -
I wanted to show you this cute little icon that they sent me the other day. They call it a button -
I suppose if you printed it out, you could make it into a button.
Happy New Year! I've been away for the past couple of weeks for the holidays, but am now back to my weekly-ish bloggings.
Curve Magazine is featuring a photo of me in this month's issue from the Tampa Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. It's the same photo I posted in my blog a couple of months ago:
Curve is writing a review of Butch Jamie for their March issue, so I'm looking forward to hopefully reading good things.
I don't have any official New Year's resolutions this year, but I plan to have 2008 be quite eventful, with a possible release of Butch Jamie, a possible greenlight for Heterosexual Jill, and more festival traveling. I'm scheduled to fly to the International Women's Film Festival in Seoul, Korea this April! I may be at the Verzaubert Queer Film Festival in Germany this spring as well, although my plans on that are TBD.
One of the characters from the film, Andi the German (real name Andrea), lives in Berlin so I may be able to visit her if I go to the festival. She lived in Albany at the time we shot the film, and then moved back to Germany after she graduated from law school (yep, she, Lola, and Francine from the film are all lawyers!). Here's a picture of her dressed as a hot dog:
It's from Halloween a couple of years ago. She wanted to go as a German sausage but couldn't find an outfit for that. So she bought a kid-sized hot dog outfit instead.
I didn't have any great ideas like being a hot dog, so I dressed in drag which I had handy from the movie.
Here's a pic of me showing the hot dog who's tougher -
And to wrap up this little tangent of ours, here's an Oscar Mayer hot dog commercial from 1965:
