Hello from Chicago!
Just off a whirlwind series of quick stops that took me from Newburyport, MA to Calgary, Alberta and finally Camden, ME, I finally have a quick moment to blog about what’s been going on. We just received word that The Philosopher Kings, after screening to a nearly sold-out crowd at the Camden International Film Festival, picked up their award for Emerging Cinematic Vision! Big thanks to the jurors, Ben Fowlie, and the staff of Camden Int’l Film Festival! If you haven’t heard of this fest, you soon will. It’s one of the most well-organized, hippest, and well-programmed fests I’ve certainly been to. Read AJ Schnack’s (Convention) blog about his experience in Camden. Also, thanks to the Newburyport Documentary Film Festival for honoring us with a Judges’ Special Mention Award!
I’m currently in Chicago meeting with folks about setting up a big Chicago premiere of the film in partnership with SEIU Local 1 and the University of Illinois. Off to Washington DC next week – hope to see some of you out there!
More soon,
Patrick
