More Film Festivals and the New Orleans Premier!

Flood Streets the Movie — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 21:28:40 +0000

Flood Streets has had incredible success recently! We had a great time at our West Coast premier at the Action on Film Festival in Pasadena, California where we won the festival’s most prestigious award – Best Picture!

The huge win in Pasadena was a great follow up to our previous screenings at the Boston International Film Festival, the San Antonio Film Festival and WorldFest-Houston where we won the Gold Remi. But, Flood Streets’ tour is far from over!

Quickly approaching (Saturday, August 27^th) is our showing at White Sands International Film Festival in New Mexico. We’ll be rubbing elbows with Kevin Smith, Val Kilmer and Linda Hamilton, and we hope all of our friends can make it out to join us! If you’re interested in tickets, you can buy them here: http://tinyurl.com/whitesandstickets.

After New Mexico, we’re off to Chicago for the Naperville Independent Film Festival, a favorite of Roger Ebert’s. Like to join us? Purchase tickets here: http://tinyurl.com/napervilletickets.

All of these festival acceptances are exciting, but what about New Orleans? We’re thrilled to announce that we have been officially accepted into the New Orleans Film Festival! Our long awaited New Orleans premier is Wednesday, October 17^th at 7pm at the Chalmette Theater. We’re hoping to have a weeklong run after the festival, so keep checking back for updates!
