Update!
September’s test screening at The College of New Jersey went very well. The film was shown to an audience of about 20 students. The overall consensus was that they could relate to the characters, the dialogue felt real, and (most importantly) the actors were believable as high school kids. ) But seriously, they liked it. And, in the case of the missing scene, I just inserted title cards to convey the lost info, which highly amused the viewers but apparently worked well.
My goal is to have an LA screening in Feb/Mar. Other than the missing scene, most of the post work that still needs to be done is the standard technical stuff. But, as it stands, it’s a highly watchable motion picture that’s already touched hearts of those who have seen it.
Meanwhile, several cast members have been generating buzz across the internet for themselves in other projects. Erica Rhodes has been hailed a comic genius, Heleya de Barros both produced and starred in a webseries that’s garnered a lot of positive attention, and Ben Whitehair let me pick his brain about internet marketing (I hear he’s been working regularly, too).

Customer service vs. flirtation.
Clearly, Shannon does not believe in sleep texting.
Javatown’s got talent!
I am consistently blown away by the motivation and determination of this cast. Being a Hollywood actor takes time and diligence and effort. I’ve known many people who seem to believe that success will just happen to them, that they just need to be discovered.
This cast is not made up of those people. Between theatre gigs and webseries and other assorted projects, these are some of the hardest working people in the business.
Which is why I wanted to drop a shout out about a couple things:
Erica Rhodes (Shannon) will be part of the Prairie Home Companion live HD performance that will be broadcast in select theaters on Thursday, February 4th.
Heleya de Barros (Blake) is currently producing the comedy webseries We Are With the Band.
