Over a year and seventeen film festivals later…
Tonight, our short film HENLEY screens at the Cucalorus Annual Festival of Independent Film in Wilmington, North Carolina. It will be the seventeenth film festival HENLEY will have screened at since we hit up the circuit last year, kickstarting the blitz with the Gen Art Film Festival in NYC. It was around about this time last year that we first got word that we had been accepted into the Sundance Film Fest, so it's pretty crazy to look back now at all the different corners of the world where HENLEY has gone on to screen. Everywhere from Malaysia to Mexico, to my hometown in Richmond, Virginia to Clint Eastwood's own fest in Carmel, California.
Now that we're gearing up to produce a feature length version of HENLEY with The Woodshed and Parent Company Films, it's exciting to think, in a year or more (definitely more), we'll be hitting up the festival circuit again… Fingers crossed. First, though, we should probably shoot the damn thing.

“A deeply eerie and evocative portrayal of what it's like to stare into the abyss and find something there waiting for you. A memorable, disquieting ghost story about stories, rendered inside a Möbius strip.”
