SUMMIT Accepted at Macabre Faire Film Festival!
in Summit
Summit has been accepted to the 2016 Macabre Faire Film Festival on Long Island. The dates are January 16th & 17th. It lines up perfectly as the last festival before the film hits VOD the following week, which happens to be during the 3 year anniversary of production! I'll let you know further details when I get them. Being from Long Island, I'll surely be there; as will hopefully some of the cast & crew who are also from Long Island!
In other news, I don't know much about how the Unreal Film Festival screening last Monday in Memphis went. One person tweeted that they really enjoyed the film and the festival said the audience had a blast. I don't know how many people were in attendance. I'm going to try to get more details next week.
Next festival, as you know, is Rhode Island's Vortex Fest on the 24th. I was also invited to speak in a panel the day before! I'm driving to the festival with my mom. I'll be sure to do a recap of that one because it's gonna be a big one.
We're only waiting on one more festival, which would be in November. Fingers crossed for that screening & more press/reviews along the way

Two New Reviews of SUMMIT!
After screenings, I tend to google my name and the film's title for a few days to see if I come across any reviews or social media mentions, and I was pleasantly surprised to see two today!
The first is from ScreenRelish (a site that's kind of a big deal - has a big following) and is a very positive review! Based on how they describe the upcoming screenings of the film, I assume they came across it via the Joblo article from last month. I had sent JoBlo a streaming link in case they wanted to review it and it seems ScreenRelish got the link from them.
The other is from 411Mania (not a site I've heard of, but also has a very decent social media following) and was definitely from the Scare-A-Con screening. It's not a positive review, but not completely negative. It's actually surprisingly flattering despite the writer not fully enjoying the film! I think what they expected to get out of the film is not what I/we aimed to do with it. But their feedback is appreciated nonetheless. Their opinion is sure to be shared by many horror fans. But I'm proud of the direction we went with Summit and it's nice to see 2 out of 3 reviewers (so far) appreciated it. (Scroll down.)
