This amazing gift was sent to me from a darling person (thanks Victoria!) that I met at the Charlotte Film Festival. I was there last year with NEW YORK LATELY and hope to return sooner than later.

It was a dream of mine that finally came true — and that I never take for granted. Attending screenings, meeting [...]

Here is my interview with the sweet Betty Jo Tucker I did to mainly discuss HOW DO YOU WRITE A JOE SCHREMANN SONG and its Kickstarter campaign.

THE KICKSTARTER EFFECT (originally posted at multi-hyphenate on Feb 25th, 2010) by Gary King. Follow me on Twitter. Have you made — or ever wanted to make a feature film? How far did you (or would you) go in order to get it done? One of the most common questions I get asked is how did I finance my feature films NEW YORK LATELY and WHAT’S UP LOVELY. While there is not one true approach, the answer always makes [...]

We are also exploring venue options that support indie film screenings and will be partnering with people who are interested in helping us get the film out to their area. One of the exciting new methods on doing this is Openindie – [...]
