I am excited and honored to announce that our short film Scorpion will be premiering in London at this years Raindance Film Festival. Raindance is the largest film festival in the UK. It has held the UK premiere of such films as Pulp Fiction and Christopher Nolan's Memento. One of the best parts is that any short film that wins an award at Raindance becomes eligible for an Oscar nomination. This is enough to make any filmmaker excited.
The festival kicks off September 24th (the day after my birthday) and runs to October 5th. Mike Cahill will be showing his new film I Origins opening night. The festival will be held in Central London (Piccadilly Circus).

One of the most exciting parts about being invited to the festival so far has been creating the DCP for theatrical exhibition. In doing so I got to see Scorpion on the big screen for the first time and Im exited to share it with the audiences in London. I will be sure to take pictures and put up another post from the trip.
