Second News Letter Dated 05-06-2004
The K&C monthly newsletter that hasn't been so monthly.
Lot's has happened in the past few months. We've been talking with some Producers Reps, Foreign Sales Agents, and other distributors. Things are very promising. Now I just need to make the right decisions.
For those who don't know K&C has been scored by Tim Daoust. Tim did an excellent job and I love the magic he worked.
Also, Tom Thompson cut a distributor trailer for us. The purpose of it is to showcase Kisses And Caroms sellable elements to distributors. Here's a peek for you.
Large 15.8mb 480x260
Medium 6.6mb 320x172
Small 3.9mb 240x128
Speaking of trailers. Chris Stripp reviewed our trailer at Movie Poop Shoot.
We had a successful Cast/Crew screening at the Wilshire screening room in April. It was a good mix of cast/crew/family/friends and guests. 49% of the audience didn't know the story and hadn't read the script. The overall response was positive. 89.9% of the people liked Kisses And Caroms. I know it's not 100%, but if it was, then we'd know it was bullshit.
I got a lot of input from the screening and made changes to K&C. I believe it is solid as a rock and tight as can be. In the middle of the month I'll be doing a screening for my indieclub members to get their input on it and see if I need to make any additional changes.
My good friend Clint has hooked us up with Drew Martz from The Ant Farm. Drew has worked on many Hollywood blockbuster trailers including Shrek 2, Kill Bill and hopefully will be doing ours.
Michael has hooked us up with his buddy David William's. Dave is an award winning artiest who has designed many Hollywood posters such as Harry Potter, LOTR and of course The Spy who shagged me.
Our most excellent DP Alfonso Aguliar won best achievement in cinematography award given out by the American Society of Cinematographers. Basically they are like the Academy, but for DP's. Alfonso accepted the award in front of 1600 people. Ouch Scary! but way cool.
Alfonso is also currently handling K&C's Color Correction.
Our Darling Nikki has beat out THOUSANDS of contestants to make it to the final 5 for a hosting job on QVC. This Friday May 7th between 4-6 pm Pacific time you'll be able to call in and vote for her to win. So lets all pull together and get this girl a job.

Our Darling Nicole was photographed by Playboy, yes Playboy. She'll be featured in the June issue as Babe of the month. They took hundreds of photos even though they'll only use a few. Can you blame them? Hell, K&C shot for five days and four of those were of Nicole in bed!! We're not stupid. Just slow.
Drew Wicks has landed a Mercedes Benz commercial. Hopefully this will be an American commercial so we can all enjoy it.
Ryan is currently busy writing. It's no secret why. After you watch Small Change (at Trigger Street) you'll see the guy has talent.
Bart just landed a role in "Back Slash" a film from the director of "Cheerleading Ninjas."
Well there is more but I can't talk about it for varying reasons, so until next month..... Hopefully.
Thanks,
-Vince
