Heading to the Ft. Lauderdale Film Fest
The organizers of the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival have just publicly announced the list of films showing at this year's event. I'm very proud to say that our film Thai Boxing: A Fighting Chance made the cut! My wife Susanne decided to take her life savings and go to Thailand during the summer of 2000, and she spent a month following around a group of Thai boxers with a couple of digital video cameras. Two years later, after many late nights of Final Cut Pro editing on my Mac, we finished the film and managed to sell it to the National Geographic Channel, which has aired it in over 140 countries. We also managed to get Brit actor Jason Statham to do the narration for us, which has probably been a major selling point.
Now, the film will be shown in Ft Lauderdale at 1pm on November 1, and we plan to be there for the showing. Oddly enough, the film will also be showing that same day at the Hawaii International Film Festival in Honolulu, and the same weekend at the First Annual Annapolis Film Fest. Talk about harmonic convergence! Too bad we can't be in all three places at once.... -ac
